Artemis 1 and Orion mega-rocket made lift-off.



The NASA:n Moon mission Artemis lifts off from Kennedy space center. And the mission has been successful. The Artemis capsule might look like Apollo, but it's far more advanced. Life support, artificial intelligence, and other things are state-of-art technology. And return to the Moon begins.

But we know that one purpose of Artemis is to test the Orion mega-rocket. The Orion heavy lift vehicle is a very capable system. For raising heavy cargo to the orbiter. The mega-rocket can raise also satellites and small space shuttles to the orbiter. And that makes it a very interesting tool even without the Artemis capsule. 


The X-37B sets a new mission record. It spent 908 days in space. 



Pentagon's X-37B robot shuttle made a record. It just spent 908 days in space. And that Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) is one of the systems that can cooperate with Orion and other super-heavy systems. The reusable artificial intelligence-controlled shuttles can make many missions like acting as remote-controlled laboratories, space weapon platforms, or space-borne intelligence planes. 

The laboratory mission can mean many things. It can mean testing power-supply technology. Or it can mean an internally installed laboratory where is made biological or structural tests. Or it is possible to put a telescope in the cargo bay. Because the owner of the X-37B is Pentagon, the main focus of that system is the military. The Orion can also launch X-37B to the moon orbit mission or even to the asteroid belt. 

In normal cases term "space weapon" doesn't always mean fractional orbital bombardment systems. Most of those weapons are developed to use against other satellites. Microwave radar is one of those weapons. If the solar panels load capacitors and then the system gives high-power microwave bursts against navigation or some other satellite. That thing can destroy the electronics of that satellite.

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...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core. High-resolution, real-time NMR, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, and Fluorescence Spectroscopy." "As well as Molecular Dynamics Simulations are used to identify the structure. And catalytic mechanisms of the DNAzyme. Credit: HHU/Manuel Etzkorn" (https://scitechdaily.com/dnazymes-how-active-dna-biocatalysts-that-destroy-unwanted-rna-molecules-work/) The active DNA catalysts are the gate to DNA-controlled, independently-operating, molecular-size nanomachines.  The DNAzymes or active DNA biocatalysts are next-generation tools for destroying unwanted RNA. The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
