 The James Webb telescope is on its way to L-2 point.

There was a little mistake in my text yesterday. The James Webb Space Telescope is on its way to Sun-Earth Lagrange point L-2, not L-1. The JWST is the new and the most powerful instrument that astronomers ever get in use. And the thing is that this instrument is acting as a pathfinder to other, more powerful telescopes that are sent outside the Jupiter trajectory. 

Maybe someday the NASA and European Space Agencies are accomplishing the TAU mission. TAU (Thousand Astronomical Unit)is the space telescope that will be sent away from the solar system, and that telescope will base similar technology with the JWST. But those things are the future views of deep space missions. The truth is that the JWST can reach outer planets as well as another solar system by using excellent accuracy.

The 6,5 meters infrared telescope of the JWST telescope makes it far more accurate than the "Spitzer" telescope, which mirror is 0,85 meters. Spitzer was a great success and that telescope was deactivated in January 2020. But the 6,5 meters infrared telescope would see more than some 0,85 meters telescope. That means the new era of space research is beginning. 

In the future, the Lagrange points around the Sun. Are useful in many more missions. One of the projects could be sending the laser satellites to those points. Those satellites can observe gravitational waves by using more high accuracy than LIGO ever can use.  Lagrange points or "L"-points gravitation is interacting with objects. The way that they are hovering in those points without the need to use the power. The L-points can benefit in positioning the large-size space stations.

The O'Neill cylinder


And that thing can make them useful in the location of things like "O'Neill" cylinders. The thing is that those artificial worlds must not have similar gravitation with Earth. The "O'Neill cylinders" create gravitation by using rotating movement. 

Sometimes is mentioned that O'Neill cylinders are impossible. The rotating movement would cause centripetal force that rips the station in pieces. The gravitation field of the Earth is so strong. That the speed needed for rotating the station is very high. 

The purpose of gravitation in those systems is to anchor things like vegetable cultures to the surface. Not create similar gravitation with Earth.  But there is possible to put powerful magnets to the center of the cylinder. That magnetic stick pulls the structures of that kind of station in the middle. And the magnetic pulling effect will counteract against centripetal force. The magnets would pull the structures inside. And that keeps the wall of the cylinder in one piece.

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...

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...

The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like.

.     The cyborg lichen can be one of the most exotic visions of what the high-tech civilization might look like. Above is the image of the nano-submarine. There is introduced an idea, that this kind of system would equip with living neurons, which makes it like some kind of artificial bug or mosquito. The idea is that the robot can take the nutrient by using the robot tube, which acts like a proboscis. The neurons can get nutrients and the rest of the machine can use small fuel cells or the energy to that system can deliver by using the radio waves. Futurologists are thinking about the ideas, what the hybridization of the neurons and machine would look like? Could the hyper-technical civilization look like the group of midget submarines? Those submarines might take nutrients for the neurons, what is living in them. The purpose of the midget submarines, which might be size less than a couple of millimeters would maximize the survivability of the neurons. One of the most intere...
