Not get arcs with 240v....Lol...240v is AT LEAST twice as likely to arc as 120v because twice the voltage means twice the distance an arc can span.

And you should be able to find them, given all power here is about 240v, and they're available here.

To give some idea of the amount of fuel needed. Say we wanted to JUST send a SpaceX raptor a 2 day burn(About the 1g time to Mars from u/trogon link) about 230,000,000 lbs of fuel and would start off at about 1/460th of a G acceleration. (Ignoring tanks, structural supports etc.) That gives an average acceleration over 2 days of 1/230th of a G.

So, you could never achieve it with combustion rocket engines.

Nuclear engines have much higher ISP, but only in the region of 2-3 times so they'd use roughly 1/3rd the fuel.

3pm-11pm is the absolute worst shift, imo. Any time you might want to do something with friends, Nope, working.

At least night shift you can be up in the afternoon/evening, go do stuff, go to work afterwards.

Pretty much zero. At the very least because there will still be a range of temperatures from the equator to the poles.

This assumes the entire thing being frozen solid or burning hot is not habitable. But even then, you'll likely have some variety.
