Satellites spot for a Russian new laser station. That station is developed, almost certainly for ASAT (Anti-satellite) weapon research. The laser weapons that can destroy the satellites from orbit are real. The high-power laser systems that can aim laser rays by using mirrors are a threat to almost all satellites in the orbital trajectory. The effective distance of a laser weapon depends on its power.

And another thing is the wavelength that the laser system uses. The megawatt-scale carbon dioxide lasers are kilometer-length systems. At the end of the exit point of the laser is the mirror. That is used to aim the laser ray to the right point. If those lasers are in an "X"-shaped formation that allows that laser can cover the entire sky. That means the system must not turn the entire laser. That allows using of kilometers-long lasers.

Turning the mirror is enough for aiming the laser ray to the right point. The cooling system denies the melting of the mirror. There are claiming that the laser system is meant to destroy satellites. Are not dangerous for people on the ground. But the fact is that the power of the laser system determines how dangerous it is.

The land-based laser stations are effective tools against the low-orbiting recon satellites. But the larger mirror-telescopes are making it possible that the racon satellites can stay far away from Earth. The Moon-orbiting space telescope can see the entire Earth in one sight. And it can zoom to any point on the Earth in seconds.

But large mirror satellites can also aim the large-size spaceborne laser's rays to the right point.

The reason why Chinese plans for making a kilometer-long space station should cause concern is that a similar kilometer-long structure can also be the spaceborne laser system. The spaceborne laser system can use solar light for making the laser ray. The mirror system will aim the sunlight at the laser element.

The kilometer-long lasers can benefit modular structure. It can be the series of satellites where the laser elements are put together by docking those satellites to one entirety. That giant laser can use a relay satellite to send the laser ray to the right target. The relay satellite can be a smaller laser satellite or mirror satellite. And the more powerful system will shoot the laser ray through that smaller satellite to the right point.

If we are thinking about the large-size mirror satellite that is orbiting the moon that kind of satellite can use to aim the high-power laser ray that is shot from Lagrange point between the Moon and Earth to targets that are orbiting the Earth. There is the possibility that a kilometer-long carbon-dioxide laser can create so much power that this ray can cause fire on Earth.

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...

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...

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...
