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).

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
