Benefiting asteroid belt

Benefiting asteroid belt

When we talk about benefiting the asteroid belt we somehow forget that most of the asteroids are quite small. Delivering them to Earth is quite easy because the gravity of the Sun would help in that process. And the needed energy is lower than sending stuff to the asteroid belt. But the problem is how to get the energy to that area.

The system can use the power satellites that are delivering energy to the space stations and other systems at the asteroid belt by using the maser or laser rays. The problem with the power supply is that sending uranium to that area is very expensive. So the uranium must be found from the asteroid belt or some other power source must be found that this kind of thing can make in real life.

Sometimes I have read that the space station orbiting Ceres gives a new home for humans. The fact is that it might work as the simulation for the larger-scale space stations, which might cruise in the solar system in farther future. There is one problem with asteroid Ceres, and that is the weak gravity. And that means the satellite or space station would rather saying follow that asteroid.

The station would have a tube or drill, which it can use to conduct water from Ceres straight to the station. The asteroid belt is a very interesting place for the space industry and research. The gravity of asteroids is very weak. And that means that the benefiting asteroid is "very easy".

In principle, an asteroid can equip with ion rockets and send them to Earth. The ion rocket can get energy by maser or laser rays. But there are also more interesting ideas for sending asteroids to Earth.

The material can transport to Earth by using the shuttles, which is pulling the asteroid to the Earth orbiter. The other version is to use the giant sling or magnetic accelerator or rail gun. The problem with magnetic rail-gun is that system requires a magnetic piece where the magnet can touch. So it can use only for sending the iron asteroids to Earth. Or the material can pack into the capsule which can accelerate by using magnets.

The sling could be over hundreds or thousands of kilometers long wire, where the asteroid will connect, and then it will send it to the trajectory, which transits it near the Earth. In both cases, the asteroid would equip with the retrorocket and probably with a safe explosive, which can explode the asteroid if it goes to the wrong trajectory and treats Earth. So what is the size of the asteroids, what could be sent to Earth? Their size would be about tens to hundreds of meters. And that means they would not very big.

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
