The U-2 and RQ-4 "Global Hawk" recon plane and Pegasus-rocket can be an excellent couple for launching satellites.

The U-2 and RQ-4 "Global Hawk" recon plane and Pegasus-rocket can be an excellent couple for launching satellites.

One very good idea for cheap spaceflight is to connect the U-2 Recon plane, and Pegasus rocket. The idea is very simple, and it is that the small Pegasus rocket can be equipped with wings, and it can put on the rack, where is installed the wheels. Then the U-2 recon plane would pull the Pegasus-rocket to the maximum altitude by using the rope, and the technology, what is used in this idea is similar, what is used with the sailplane.

The U-2 plane would pull the Pegasus to the maximum altitude, and then the rope will be released. Then the Pegasus rocket would start the engine, and the idea is that this rocket would have more weight in the tail, and the nose would rise upwards automatically. That effect is important because it avoids the hit to the plane because the U-2 is not so fast moving aircraft as fighters are. And it cannot dive so fast as the fighters can. The rope must be very long, and that can be made by the most modern materials. That makes the launching safer.

The thing is that the wings would be similar, what is used in the cruise missiles, and they would also allow the gliding. The reason, why the rocket must pull the nose up is avoiding the aircraft. In fact, this mission to pull the Pegasus rocket can also give to the RQ-4 "Global Hawk" drone aircraft. That capacity can be used to launch small size satellites when there is a need for fast overflight operations, what the opponent should not predict, and those overflights might be surprised because they can come from every direction on the Earth. This aircraft- missile combination can give the USAF global ASAT capacity.

In this scenario, the small-size drones, what can fly extreme high altitude would tug the ASAT missiles, what can be actually the Pegasus rockets, Those modified missiles are equipped with the ASAT warheads, and they can release their cargo anywhere on this planet. This would be a very interesting option for the lightweight ASAT weapons, which can hit also against the higher altitude targets than the satellites, what is flying in the LEO (Low Earth Orbiter).

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling cap...

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things ...

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of ...
