 The moonbase plays a big role in the solar system colonization.



Moonbase is the thing that might not look so impressive as Mars or Jupiter bases. But in moonbase, the researchers can find out how to make structures in space conditions. The moonbase is the perfect place for making social and other types of tests for long-term flights. If something goes wrong the mission must abort immediately. There is possible to test life-support and other systems.

Moon station is also possible to use for testing systems like computers, independent operating robots, and AI. And other things that will be trusted and easy to operate. If something goes wrong on the Moon. that thing is far easier to fix than if something goes wrong on Mars. 

And on the moon returning to Earth is easier than from Mars or the asteroid belt. The moonbase is also offering a safe place for loading and starting the nuclear reactors for nuclear-powered rockets. When some nuclear-powered NERVA or ion rocket starts near-Earth. And if something goes wrong. There is the possibility that radioactive debris will fall to the Earth. 

So if the starting of those engines will happen at the Moon orbiter the radioactive debris will fall to the ground. The moon is also offering a shield against the EMP-pulses that are forming if the Orion-type of system where the small nuclear bombs will push the craft to the outer solar system. The ion rockets can also cause problems for satellites if the high-energetic ions will impact them. 

The thing is that electrostatic and microwave-based systems where the propellant is vaporized by using microwaves and them shoot back by using magnetic accelerators are one of the most capable systems. The ion engine requires vaporized material like iron steam but also other ions would be useful. 

The problem is how to vaporize the iron or silicone? One version is to use a hybrid system where the material is vaporized by using microwaves. And then it will ionize. Then the system will drive those ions backward by using the magnetic track. 

Things like water jet rocket engines are rocket engines. Which are using water or hydrogen as the propellant. The idea of those systems is to replace nuclear reactor what is used in NERVA engines by using something that is not so radioactive. That thing makes the microwave engine a useful tool. 

Liquid hydrogen or water will pump into the nozzle. And microwaves are vaporizing it. The full benefit of those systems will get if the liquid gas has a low vaporizing point. The microwaves can use to expand the propellant as well fire or nuclear engines are making. The moonbase is ideal for testing that kind of system.

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 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...

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...
