The problems with space colonies

 



The problems with space colonies

Space colonies are very interesting things, but they are more problematic than we ever imagine. The biggest problem is what is the focus of those colonies? If we are thinking of the colony as the bubble. The atmosphere is an easy transfer to the bubble and they might look simple to build. The bubble-station can establish "very easily". The craft will send to another planet, and then the bubble will blow to the form. But still, there is needed the argument for establishing those things.

So what if we would send the crew to another planet, that means that the flight time would be a couple of years. And if those persons would stay awhile at the surface, they must be social and own very good interaction skills, because they cannot escape anywhere from their bubble. But the reason why we send that bubble on the journey? The fact is that there is always the possibility that something goes wrong. And there is a conflict between members of the crew.

What if somebody will punch the teeth out of some other team member's mouth? Or what if somebody is starting to act otherwise violently? How that situation will solve? The thing is that from the surface of another planet is no place to escape. And another thing is that if the problems are noticed during the flight, the craft cannot turn back and it has to accomplish the mission.

Solar X and Elon Musk have also shown one problem with the space colonies. That problem is whose rules are in the stand at that distant world? If we are thinking that the space colonists would land on the moons like Titan, the weak gravity would change their muscles, but another point is those people would spend a long time of their lives on that journey.

So what kind of people would go on that kind of journey? If we think that the journey to Saturn would take about 6 years to direction, that means the journey takes 12 years. And then the crew must be on that place 4-5 years, the journey takes 17 years. Those people will see everything changed during the journey. That means that those people should be very motivated. The Mars trip would take about 3 years. But the fact is that the motivation of that crew must be very high.

Both Mars and the farther journeys require the surface laboratory because the crew should feel the surface of the planet. And the problem is that people must sometimes be alone. Would there make other bubble stations or bubbles around the main bubble, that the astronaut can be alone a while?

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...
