NASA and planetary defense

NASA and planetary defense



"NASA’s DART spacecraft is due to collide with the smaller body of the Didymos binary asteroid system in October 2022."

"ESA’s Hera mission will survey ‘Didymoon’ post-impact and assess how its orbit has been changed by the collision, to turn this one-off experiment into a workable planetary defense technique."

NASA and planetary defense


NASA DART mission will impact the space probe to an asteroid in October 2022. Or more accurately saying, asteroid Didymos binary asteroid. One of the things that makes asteroid 65803 Didymos interesting is that the asteroid has its moon. And when the DART impacts the asteroid. ESA:s "Hera" probe will observe the debris from the surface asteroid's surface. That data is important for creating a defense against asteroids. 

The mission of that spacecraft is to research the possibility to turn asteroids away from their course without nuclear detonation. The thing is that the USA and other nations are spending billions on their defense budgets. 

But nobody has ever made anything against natural threats like small asteroids. There are billions of asteroids in the solar system. And the biggest extinctions on Earth are the reason for cosmic impacts. Most of those asteroids are small. Their size is about 10-200 meters. And they can come near Eath quite suddenly. 

The warning against those small asteroids would get maybe in a couple of days before impact. Those small asteroids cause local threats. 

We are lucky. The asteroid impact wiped out dinosaurs. And that open road to mammals and finally humans. But there are no confirmed large-scale asteroid impacts after the extinction of dinosaurs. 

There is some suspicion that ice ages began when asteroids impacted oceans. And then that impact caused nuclear winter. If an asteroid drops to sea that thing can cause that the level of sunlight on Earth will decrease. 

There are no confirmed asteroid impacts in city areas. If the impact of 200 meters asteroid would happen before spaceflights. There is nothing that could deny that thing. 

If that kind of asteroid drops to a city area the destruction is similar to a nuclear blast. Most of the asteroids would drop to seas causing tsunamis. The reason for that is. That most of our planet is covered by water. The possibility that the object from the solar system impacts some area is always the same. 

But the larger asteroids which size is more than a kilometer can cause more damage. If the large asteroid which size is about 15 kilometers comes on Earth. The system detects that object immediately. And then there is no way what we can do. There is the possibility to use nuclear detonators to turn objects away from their course. The nuclear detonator vaporizes the surface of that dwarf planet. But otherwise, people can sit and wait for the impact. 

Things like rogue planets are opening our eyes that there are also other kinds of threats than some small asteroids. The visit of Oumuamua is proven that the asteroids can come outside the solar system. 

And if the 100-1000 meters asteroid impacts another asteroid like Ceres that thing can act like a billiard ball. The Oumuamua-size (1000X250m) object can push another asteroid from its trajectories. 

Defense against small-size objects is quite easy. Shooting them with kinetic ammunition or just pushing them away by docking rocket engines to them is enough. But if those asteroids are falling on Earth there is always the possibility, that it drops to city areas. 

Maybe shooting it to pieces would seem very shocking. And maybe. Some satellites will break because of that debris. But in those cases, the destruction on Earth would be local but total. If people just sit and look at the incoming object that can destroy one city. If somebody shoots those objects they would turn smaller. And smaller pieces cause smaller destruction. 

But another thing is that large objects can cause global destruction. If things like 100 kilometers object are closing Earth. That means there is no shield. If an object which diameter is 1000 kilometers hits Earth we can say goodbye to the human race.

Why somebody has drawn that figure to the ice? And the writing about the mysterious EM-drive of NASA.



Why somebody has drawn that figure to the ice? And the writing about the mysterious EM-drive of NASA.

Maybe this is one of the consequences, and that does mean anything, but the image, that is drawn in the ice does look like one of the concept aircraft, which is introduced on the Internet as some kind of study project. So, in my opinion, this image seems like some kind of aerial vehicle, and it is made in purpose.

Are the children made it, and what is the reason, why they have done that kind of thing? Maybe this is only a game, and there is nothing to hide in this case, but those kinds of things are really interesting. Those things are interesting for me, and that's why I took this image. But let's go to think another mysterious thing, what is called as "EM"-drive.

The EM-drive (1)

The idea of "EM-drive".  The idea is to connect the other propellant to the photon rocket. The photons of the photon rocket can be replaced by using some other electromagnetic radiation, like radio- or microwaves. That would allow using another propellant with the photon or some other radiological rocket motor. In this case, the system would boil the propellant and that thing will increase thrust at the lower speed.

Electromagnetic or EM-drive has the same idea with photon motor and the thing is that every kind of electromagnetic radiation has the thrust. But the power of thrust is so weak, that we should accelerate the spacecraft near the speed of light if we would want to use photons as the propellant. That means that the photons would accelerate the craft just in the last period when the craft would reach the speed of 90-99% of the speed of light by using an antimatter drive or something like that.

Only photons can have a specific impulse of the speed of light, but the thrust of the photon rocket is so weak, that the acceleration of the rocket to the near the speed of the light must be done by using some other method. And the photon rocket is an only known system, which can reach the speed, which is near the speed of the light because the rocket cannot cross the speed of the particles, which is going backward.

Of course, there are things like WARP, which are researched, but the thing is that those things are radical, and the only thing, that can send the particles backward by the speed of the light would be photon or radio wave-based rocket motor. And this is the thing, what makes EM-drive so radical.

If we would use microwaves in the EM-drive that thing could use also another propellant like water or hydrogen for giving extra thrust. That thing would make possible to accelerate the speed of the spacecraft also by using some other propellant, and then the craft would be pushed to the speed of light by using micro- or radio waves.

Dragonfly drone would be the most advancing aerial vehicle, what mankind has ever created.

Dragonfly drone would be the most advancing aerial vehicle, what mankind has ever created.

Drone to Titan

NASA  Dragonfly drone would be the most advanced aerial vehicle, whatever created. The mission of that drone would be flying in the atmosphere of the Titan moon, and the thing, that makes that mission very difficult is the distance between drone and Earth, and that means the drone would need a very advanced artificial intelligence for that mission. The drone must handle every case, what we might think independently.

The low gravity of Titan and a very thick atmosphere allows that the drone can handle its mission very effectively. And that moon is a very suitable place to operate the drone, which might have the plutonium battery for giving the electricity for the drone. The Dragonfly would operate in the atmosphere of Titan even years, and its mission is to find the amino acid, and possibly the very primitive bacteria, what can live near the volcanic eruptions holes, and those bacteria might look like the first organisms, what can be found from the Earth.

How "Dragonfly" would benefit the research and development process?

If those organisms would have existed, there is a possibility that they have no mitochondria. Those organisms would get the energy, that they need from the external source like volcanic temperature, and they are called the arc bacteria. Those bacteria can survive almost every condition in the universe, and the reason, why those bacteria are so permanent is because those bacteria have not mitochondria.

If there are arc bacteria on the surface of some other planet, that means that the metabolism of those organisms would be ended when the bacteria would go too cold. If that thing has happened, the cells cannot locate or uncover by using their metabolism as an indicator. And there is a possibility, that organisms of Titan would be silicone-based if they have existed. In that case, those organisms would be very difficult to notice, because the prediction tells that those organisms would live deep underground near the mantle of Titan. But as you see those things are the only hypothesis, and we have not found the marks of the life forms.

But the Dragonfly project would be used to create the new type of helicopter drones. Those drones would have the ability to operate even years in some territory, and that means the electricity would be created by the nuclear battery. The other versions would be the solar panels, which would load the drone and the load station, where the quadcopter would load its batteries. Those drones might interest also Pentagon, because of the small-sized drones, what can be remote-controlled by using satellites would be suitable for recon and intelligence missions.

Exotic motor solutions and interesting coincidences.






Exotic motor solutions and interesting coincidences.

The way how to see things makes artists. 

When we are looking at the image, we have the right to use imagination. And sometimes in the well-known things like maps of the shopping centers have similar details with some exotic space engines. The thing is that those details might be only coincidence, but they are opening fascinating ideas in the mind of the people. The image that is on the wall of the shopping center would seem like a thing, that NASA and DARPA created during their research and study project what is handling the use of Casimir-effect (1) for interplanetary flight. The engine is known as the "Quantum vacuum thruster" (2).

The motor that doesn't need extra propellant is the dream of the engineers. The question is, "does it work" or can it create thrust, what is enough power to create the levitation (3). 

There is made many tests with those types of motors, which are using radio waves or photons, but the problem is that the thrust of those motors is very weak. And by using the radiowaves the acceleration to the speed of light would take even millenniums. But there have been plans to use things like pushing the free ions by using the magnetic field to backward. 

The problem with modern long-term operating drones is the corroding of the moving parts. 


This kind of system is the most modern innovation. The use of a Casimir-effect is also a very interesting thing, but there are found many technical problems with that kind of engine. So this kind of very exotic propulsions are only at the theoretical level, but if the researchers can create that kind of thing, what has enough thrust the aircraft can fly forever. 

Of course, we could make things like drones, what is flying by using laser light and solar panels. But the problem with those drones is that things like bearings and moving parts are corroding, and that will limit the operational time of the drones. So this makes many research plants and researchers to find the solution, what replaces the moving parts of the motor, by using the stable parts.

Sea monk the mysterious sea monster




Sea monk the mysterious sea monster

Is this creature the scuba diver from the 17th. century.

When we are looking at the image of the sea monk, we must realize, that the person, who has seen this kind of sea monster would see the ancient scuba diver. Maybe this man was the scuba diver, who used primitive equipment. And I don't know how much normal people knew about scuba diving during the 17th. century? At that time there were scuba diving suits, and if we are thinking carefully, in the middle of the man-shaped creatures can be the diving bell or the deep submerge capsule. Or that might be the auxiliary oxygen.

Sea monk or sea bishop is one of the most mysterious sea monsters in the world. The origin of that tale might be in the 30 years war, where protestants used this kind of tales as the propaganda against Catholics, but there is one detail in this tale, and the detail is that this story might have a different kind of backgrounds. One of the backgrounds might be that everybody knew that monks told many things to inquisitors, and they send the people to executors.

Maybe some person told something only in the boat, and then that thing brought problems to somebody. And if the judgment is augmented in some special way, that thing uncovered that there were monks or bishop in the same boat with the storyteller. So this means that the sea monk-stories are told for the warning, that the bad guys are not doing anything when they are alone, and that means that they are looking like innocent, but when they get assistance the things are turning, and they will make reports about things like smuggling for getting the benefit. And during 30 years of war, monks were so-called bad guys.

This is one background of the tale about the "Solar Warden".

The strange element of the sea monk stories is that the image, what is drawn of sea monk is that the sea monk seems to have some kind of protective suit. That means that the sea monk would be human, who has just come from the seas by using the boat. So that means that the creature would be just the monk, who was traveling by boat, and then the people would tell more and more details about this thing because everybody wanted to tell better version and because of the 30 years war, the Catholics were enemies, everybody wanted to confess, that they believed that monks were bad guys.

Does the "sea monk" have a gliding suit? That could mean, that this creature would be a saboteur, who jump from the balloon.

As you know that these kinds of tales are living and forming. The story of sea monk is the origin of the tales of the myth of "Solar Warden" the mythic station, which has the origin of the myth of Atlantis. The story is told about the giant space stations, which are created for genetic experiments. In some versions of those stories the "Solar Warden" would be the underwater base or series of underwater bases, where there are genetically selected people, whose mission is to support the scientific and other work for superpowers.

There is a possibility that the sea monk has been jumped from the balloon that was pulled by the sailship. And that means that the person would be some kind of spy. The thing in the middle of those drawn creatures would be the equipment box for their missions.

In the most interesting version, this creature was the astronaut from somewhere. I don't know how serious that claim is, and don't be so serious about this kind of thing. NASA has used this kind of thing to getting innovation for modern space systems. And they have created the one-man recovery vehicles.

In this case, the landing craft of the astronaut might be very small, and this is why the people have laughed at that theory. But in fact, this kind of capsule could bring astronauts from the orbiter. This means that the craft would get energy from an outer source, and it can lay down by using propellers or ion motors. In this case, the "sea monk" would use the glide suit, and the craft would get its energy by using maser ray, which is targeted to that thing.

Faked moon flights and their connection to MKULTRA

Faked moon flights and their connection to MKULTRA

Every myth and legend have a source or begin. There is always the first person, who tells those tales. And this is a thing, what we must realize when we are starting to think about those things. Offices like NASA, NSA, and FBI are sometimes causing embarrassing situations in the highly-ranking positions of the political system. And this is the reason, why some people want to disband them. The normal reason for that is claimed to be the misuse the budgets, and the people, who are sharing this kind of information are many times getting great publicity.

If we want to research the myths and legends, we must realize that we must find the origin of those tales, what might be weird. And the research question is, why those tales have been told? The major question is when they first came in the public? Did somebody told those stories in the bat, and then somebody tells those stories forward.

But what makes those stories believable? When we are thinking about things like attitudes, we are facing people, who are really against the USA, and this is the reason, why every negative thing, what is told about that nation is believable. They want to believe, that the USA is dirty and this makes in their mind so-called "dam effect".

The load in their mind is so powerful, that they want to believe, that the moon flights were fake. But there are some other dimensions in this kind of stories. Did somebody claim to be an astronaut, who was heard or seen something, what makes those things fake?

And then we have to notice one thing more. If people believe things, what to say, there is one possibility, what is not usually mentioned. The possibility is that the person is targeted accidentally or on purpose by the high-power electricity or electromagnetic radiation. So are those stories about hoax moon trips caused by MKULTRA?

The mysterious mind-control project, which contained tests with LSD, psilocybin and other chemicals. But if we would target the high-voltage electromagnetic radiation or put the person to the virtual reality during those tests, we might make them believe, that the things, what are created by using special effects were true.

Sometimes has claimed that some "astronauts" or test personnel were exposed with nitrous oxide and another kind of chemicals when they operated in the simulator. The thing is that the chemicals and the lower level of consciousness might make people believe, that they were on some moon trip. Maybe those stories were created for the warning, that everybody can be manipulated.

And if the conditions were right, people believe everything. When we are talking about brain core stimulation, we must realize that the system itself is very small, and those modified electric shock equipment can carry even in the briefcase. But the thing is that high-power electric radiation can transfer in brains by using simply high-power radio transmitter, which inducts the electricity to the nervous system, as I have written many times before.

NASA plans to build the RTG-powered drone, what will operate inside Titan-moon atmosphere

NASA plans to build the RTG-powered drone, what will operate inside Titan-moon atmosphere

Titan moon is a very extraordinary moon in our solar system because it's the thick atmosphere and weak gravity, which makes it really interesting because it should not have that atmosphere. And that would make that moon a very good target for nuclear-powered quadcopter, what can operate in its atmosphere even years.

The thing is that the normal quadcopter can handle that mission, but the problem is the huge distance. That makes impossible to control that drone directly from the Earth. The system that uses artificial intelligence must have very powerful computers, and this makes that kind of mission very difficult to accomplish. The system should have the capacity for independent and autonomous operations.

In some scenarios even more sophisticated and effective systems would follow this Titan probe. Those systems would base the technology, which is created to HAVOC (High Altitude Venus Operational Concept) -program. In this version, the high- altitude airship communicates with the drones, what are flying near the surface of Titan or Venus. The system can use "green energy" and in some scenarios, the system would transmit the electricity to the drone swarm by using maser-transmitters. 

https://sacd.larc.nasa.gov/smab/havoc/

This kind of systems is really difficult to create because there is no time and room for mistakes. And this makes the creation of this kind of systems and especially required computer programs really complicated. In some scenarios, this kind of systems has central component, what would operate as the central processing unit, and the other drones, what is simpler and smaller.

The idea is that those sub-drones can dive in the oceans of Titan and observe the world, what is totally different than our own. In fact in the future to the other planets would send the drone swarms, where simpler drones would create the data network by using modems. The swarm of small quadcopters can cover larger areas than single drones, and the swarm can lose a single drone, and it can still continue the mission.

And in this case, other parts of nuclear-powered drones can wait in high-altitude, and that high-altitude swarm can send the replacement units to the swarm, what operates in low altitude for replacing the destroyed parts of the swarm. Those drones could be similar quadcopters, what is tested in the military areas. They can operate by using small size plutonium-batteries, and they can operate in the atmosphere of other planets a very long time.

The Titan moon, and its atmosphere

The Titan moon, and its atmosphere

The Titan moon, and its atmosphere


On the top of this text is the David Hardy's painting of the surface of Titan, and the second image is taken by the Huygens lander from the surface of the Titan moon. The Saturnian giant moon, Titan is the only known particle in our solar system, there are lakes, what is formed by hydrocarbons. The temperature in that moon is very low, 170 degrees Celsius, and that makes possible that this moon, what is a little bit smaller than  Ganymede has the liquid hydrocarbon in the surface.

The gravity field of this moon is weaker than Earth, and the person, who would wight 150 kilograms on Earth would weigh only 10 kilograms on Titan, and that would be very interesting because that thing means that the gravity field is really weak. Titan is actually very famous because if it clouds, and hydrocarbon oceans, what was predicted in the 1970s. The thing what makes Titan very interesting is its atmosphere.



There is a problem with the gas pressure, what is 1,42 ATM

The pressure on the surface of Titan is a problem for the scientists. The hydrocarbon atmosphere causes the pressure on the Titan is very huge, and that is actually 1,42 times higher than on planet Earth. And that means there is something special in this moon. In fact, the atmosphere of that moon should be sucked away by the gravity of the planet Saturn.  The reason is that the weak gravity field should not make this pressure possible. The thing is that Titan should lose its atmosphere to space, and there are more things, what makes this particular moon so interesting.

There are hydrocarbon oceans, as we know, but in 1970s space art, some artists have predicted the form of the surface of that moon very sharply. And there are some interesting questions about that thing. How did that prediction happen? The Titan hydrocarbon water system was found by Cassini in the same year when it sends the Huygens lander to the surface of that mysterious moon.
