The cold war and beyond (Threat of the orbital bombardment)


Titan II

The cold war and beyond (Threat of the orbital bombardment)

The Soviet Union and Russia are not the only nations that are researching the possibility to create the orbital nuclear weapons. The new weapons are created also outside the USA and China, and when we are talking about orbital bombardment systems, every single rocket in the world can operate in that mission. So that means that orbital bombardment systems can also mount in the Ariane or every other rocket in the world. 


The thing in the military systems is that they are not like what we might want them to be. The Titan II could be used as the FOBS(1) or(Fractional Orbital Bombardment System)-system. This rocket was also used to carry satellites to the orbiter, we must realize that it was very suitable for the FOBS carrier. FOBS is an excellent weapon, which allows one to strike every target in the minutes, and this is one version of the "Big Ammo". The satellite, where is nuclear weapon can explode outside the atmosphere, and that thing causes extremely high power EMP-impulse. 


People normally think that the FOBS is always the large-size atom bomb, which has megaton class power. Also, low-yield nuclear weapons line nuclear grenades can be used as the FOBS systems. FOBS is simply the nuclear weapon, what is installed in the orbital satellite, and those weapons are a very big threat to international security, and they might put somebody to think that nuclear warfare can win like some conventional warfare. 


Nuclear grenades like "Grable"(2) might seem very small, and innocent but the truth is that the warhead itself can be multi-purpose use. The plutonium inside the grenade can be exploded by impact energy when the bomb hits the ground after it is fallen through the atmosphere. Or the friction would launch those weapons. 


The difference between modern missiles and the 1960s missiles is that this kind of FOBS weapon can be equipped with the image-recognition and artificial intelligence-based tracking system. That means that the weapon could be extremely sharp, and we know that the development of those weapons is an addictive thing. And also conventional versions of this thing. 


The kinetic energy warheads were filled with concrete. The mission of those warheads was being the artificial meteorites. And the most well-known of those weapons was the "Project Thor" (3). But also normal grenade-profiles were planned to act in this role. The thing is that this kind of system is the top of icebergs. There is a possibility, that even more, lethal weapons are under construction. And one thing why the Russian new weapons are concerning is that western nations are not justifying those weapons.

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...
