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.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

    Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber.  That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation.  Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body.  Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...
