NASA: s new VASIMR engine takes spacecraft to Mars in 6 weeks.



A VASIMR (Variable Specific Impulse Magneto plasma Rocket) gives spacecraft travel ten times faster than a regular chemical rocket. That plasma-impulse engine is one of the most promising things for creating new and powerful rockets for interplanetary flight. The plasma ion engine can also give new kinds of abilities for the new type of spacecraft that are operating in the asteroid belt. 

There is the possibility that air-breathing ion engines are the future of aviation. The problem is that there is needed a system. That puts the ion engine push against the front wall of the engine. One of the solutions is to shoot laser rays in the middle of the ion track. That causes that part of the ions are jumping to the front of the engine. 

Another vision is that the ionized gas will put to travel in a screw-looking structure. That kind of ion system can use with regular jet engines as the electromagnetic afterburner. Or it can use things like electric cells or nuclear reactors as power sources. In some visions, the power satellites can pump energy to those air-breathing ion engines in the form of maser rays. That allows researchers to create the ion scramjets that are the most capable systems in the world. 



The same ion thruster that is making aircraft or space shuttle fly can use to protect that thing against missiles. The ion system can turn against incoming missiles, and then the radar system can load opposite polar electric power to incoming missiles. That makes those ions will impact the missile and damage its microchips. Another thing is that ions are forming a layer that the radio waves cannot pierce. 

The "VASIMR" system can also use in Earth-orbiting satellites. That must change their trajectories all the time. The thing is that the plasma-ion engine can also be used as an ion cannon. The plasma beam can target hostile satellites or incoming ASAT missiles. The plasma system can also use to deny communication between satellites and ground stations. And the ion satellite can poison the orbiter by using high-energy ions. 

If those ions (or anions) have the same polarity the magnetic field with the same electric polarity can push those ions or anions away from the satellite. But if that thing is not in use that ion cloud can damage the satellite. And the ion field denies the use of radio waves as the communication tool between satellites and ground stations. In that case, the satellite must use laser communication systems. Radio waves cannot travel through the plasma or ion cloud.

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 ...
