The Mission Profile Generator
Tell it what you want to fly. It works backwards from there, figuring out the food, water, oxygen, recycling, habitat, and crew composition that would actually keep that mission alive.
Four questions in. One complete mission profile out.
// How the solver works
[ STEP 1 ]
You pick the mission
How many people, how long, where they're going, and how much risk you'll accept.
[ STEP 2 ]
It solves backwards
The model dials up recycling, habitat, and food production until the mission clears your feasibility threshold.
[ STEP 3 ]
It finds the minimum
The lightest mass, lowest tech, and smallest habitat that would still keep everyone alive according to the model.
[ STEP 4 ]
You get the verdict
Can we do this today, in the near future, eventually, or maybe never? Rated against technology that actually exists.

How many people are you sending?
Every number after this one scales with headcount: mass, volume, recycling load, crew specialization.

Where are they going?
Destination sets the baseline difficulty: gravity, radiation, communication delay, and how quickly anyone could reach them if something goes wrong.
How much safety margin do you want?
This sets the bar the model has to clear before it says a mission is viable.
