Genetic engineering could solve many problems of a long-term space flight


What if we would connect our genome the DNA, what makes our skin cells form chlorophyll? That thing would make possible that the human can live in the atmosphere, where is very little oxygen, which makes the spacecraft safer against fire. Fire is the problem in every type of closed space, and if the fire starts in spacecraft the situation would be more catastrophic, than anywhere on the ground. 


If the human can separate oxygen from carbon dioxide, that thing makes possible that there would be no need for the free oxygen in the air. In this case, it is possible to use carbon-dioxide gas in the atmosphere of the spacecraft, and that thing denies the fire in that spacecraft. This kind of solution doesn't necessarily need genetic manipulation, and there is a possibility that in the airways, what are deliver air to lungs will equip with the surgically implanted respirator, which will use the carbon filter for separating the oxygen from the air. 


In the Mars-flight the craft would be equipped with "Slender-man" robots, which can take the injured crew member in the chamber and walk to the base. 


But when we are thinking about skin, what allows the photosynthesis, that thing means that the organism doesn't need C-vitamin at all. The only thing that this thing requires is nutrient and light. The internal layer of space suits can be covered by using light-diodes, which would make the cells to begin the photosynthesis. But this thing is only one of the visions, what the colonization of Mars and other planets would require. 


Food production would happen in that kind of place by using advanced biotechnology. There could be green-alga tanks, where the production of oxygen is connected with food production. If we are thinking about the possibility of accidents in that kind of system, where the nutrient can be created in the spacesuits, that is equipped with the system, what can recycle food this kind of thing is the ultimate tool. 


That means that in the case of accidents the life support system of the spacesuit can start to inject that alga in the veins for keeping a person alive until the rescue craft will come from the Earth. In the case that the accident will happen at the surface of the planet, the equipment that can be used in this case will be a robot, what takes the person in it, and then walk to base or rescue capsule. 


The green alga can also be used as food, and there is a possibility that the crews of those places would also eat meat. That meat would also be created by using the cell cultures, where the muscle cells of the animals would grow to slices of beef, and that kind of food production is an ecological and effective way to make meat also on the Earth.

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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
