Satellites spotted the new Russian laser station meant for ASAT purposes.

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.

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 ...

Facebook and dominance of the media.

The position of Facebook is dominating and that causes concern. Facebook is a well-known and commonly used service. And that thing causes that the information is starting to pile up in that service. That information contains data that we might want to hide. Facebook is a network-based service that can use for many purposes from marketing to intelligence.  Facebook was down and the thing cost about half a million dollars per hour to that service. That shutdown has shown how dominating that service has been growing. Facebook is a powerful tool. It can use to track the networks of people.  Artificial intelligence can show the network map of the people who are using that service. The data that travels between certain members of the network can show how often those people are contacting each other. There is a lot of criticism against Facebook but the fact is that everybody is using that thing.  The attitudes toward Facebook are conflicting. People are criticizing that service ...
