Starship SN-8 of Space X corporation made its first High-altitude flight recap

This is a marvelous moment for space research and engineering. The first time the VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) space shuttle had been flown at high altitude and made the landing without the need to use a parachute. This means that the system is more flexible than the space shuttles, which are made in past.

By watching the film you can see how the rocket engines are shaking while the craft is flying. In the cases that the wobbling causes damages to the ventilation and tubes, the engines are easy to change after the flight. And the shuttle can get to a new mission faster than regular shuttles.

So this kind of spacecraft can revolutionize space missions in both civilian and military areas. The space shuttles can send repairment crews or repairment robots and materials to space in the cases that the satellites or some space stations are damaged. Or they can also make the high-altitude mapping or recon missions. But another thing is that this kind of space shuttles can also be used as space fighters or make orbital bombardment missions. And that thing is one of the scariest things in the world.

Things like MiG-105 "Spiral"(1) are causing discussions about how far the HGV (Hypersonic Glide Vehicle)(2) is developed. The small-size shuttle can equip with a warhead and along with Polyus(3), the MiG-105 is one of the scariest things in the world. And also USAF X-37B (4) can be used as a similar weapon system. The glider is launched from the rocket, and then it would start to glide against the target. Then the internal warhead will detonate.

The fact is that the militarization of space is a sad thing. And that means that at least also Russia and China((5) have this kind of shuttle project. We know that Russia is planning a new type of nuclear weapon, and this kind of space shuttle can also operate as a ballistic missile with the capacity to return the warhead. Maybe there are things like Polyus II type of projects, which are nastier than some Status-6 ever could be.

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 capacity all o

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 is that the communicatio

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
