Space.... and people on Mars

Saturday, February 8, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk


I always though having a Moon station was dangerous considering that space objects hit the Moon all the time. I do think a space station would be more productive. On the moon there could be a away station for emergencies and safe harbor from space showers or a ship needing help.


A Mars station seems to me a great focus for NASA. There could be a colony there and be relatively safe. 3 stations between Mars and Earth would be safe.


Instead of a space shuttle, there would be a focus on a space plane that takes off like a plane and coasts up to space and changes to rocket or other propulsion power.

I think many things should be solved here on Earth though, but by 2200 space travel should really start and hopefully we as a human race would have reached maturity in some way.

So as far as my schedule for space travel, I think we should focus on a new shuttle program and new propulsion systems. Inter-planetary travel is the new focus. Away stations, new experiments and space on the human condition will also be priorities.

I love space and space travel. Not sure if we as humans deserve to explore that yet without owning up to problems on Earth and a habit to destroy stuff.

What does the message board say of this?

As the president of the UN my focus will be on free education, shelter and food for all human kind. Period. But somewhere in my mind I would hope we could do a community space endevor and go to Mars.

there has been great progress in teleportation? I never heard of that.

Exactly.

Ms. Delicious but light photons do not make psychical matter as easy to teleport. and It wasn't so much teleportation into space that is at the nexus of that specific issue, yet, or the quantum physics involved, rather it is Faster than light communications.

Australian teleport breakthrough
"
Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) made a beam of light disappear in one place and reappear in another a short distance away.
" http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2049048.stm

not yet anyway, but if the world put half ot what it puts into better ways to kill other human beings, it could be reality in geological nano seconds, historical years...

Actually this isn't the first to have success, Cal Tech has some two years ago when they split a light photon and transported half across a dark chamber and into a box and noticed during the experiment, if you move half in one direction the other half mimics it as if still connected....

Hence the application for telecommunications, 0 / 1, on - off which if basically what all data communications boil down to at their base.

Weakside, fantastic flick

did you know that the Air-force and NASA proved Einstein correct about traveling faster than the speed of light and aging.

The put a clock in an x15 synchronized with another clock on the ground, tracked the x15 with a lazier and there was a matter of ,00000034 seconds out of Scranton aft34 the test.

sooooo.... I was thinking that if space travel has more of a direction maybe we would get more out of it. From what I read we really have not had a real mission or for that matter a grand idea for some time. Colonization of another planet seems cool (after we fix some problems here of course)

Space travel might find us finding out more about the diseases on Earth or bring about more technology.



Oh and Terminator 3 is coming out this summer and has to do with time travel. I thought to myself, "Why are the robots trying to kill this guy again especailly since it would only be a matter of time before they would win in the future?"

Why take a risk and go bak in time to kill someone and end up never existing yourself? Or better yet, by killing him enables a stronger leader to take his place and quicken your own demise?


So they kill the boy... and someone becomes a better leader in his place. Or better yet the boy meets someone who he would have taken under his wing but instead this person goes a different route and somehow ends the progect that started the androids in the first place?

correct as far as I can see it, there is no absolutes, the fact that funding comes under review constantly, etc... who could there be any real direction?

Do you know that if they had not cut funding out of the budget for NASA and the Space Station, there would have been an escape shuttle that could have probably met those 7 people in orbit and landed in it instead of riding a lame pony in..

But no one puts all the pieces together, or they buy into what is forced fed to them in the news media, or polls, speaking of polls, I've never been called for a poll, but I sure have been bent over and polled...

Beam of light, 2 cans and a thread. Both the same.

If time travel was possible wouldn't you expect someone from the future to already have traveled back to our time?

actually the view curently is that time travel is possible and I have always wondered why we have not seen some one from the future how ever they say that it is only possible by bridge between two black holes one old and one young and the reason that some one from the future hasent visited us, is that the way that time travel will work is to stop one of these black holes from agein and travel between them so you cant go farther back than the time that you started the time travel experiment

a huge jump in technology advancement will follow after time travel thats how we know it hasent happened yet

Time is subjective in nature, it is a creationof human kind as a means of measurement and beyond that holds no meaning really.

The fact that it has been proven that with sufficant speed you can actually chage time on two identical clocks engineered to be so precise that they will keep exact time until the end of time is rather mind bogling, that or the tax payers got screwed

actually time is its own demension minutes were created by man not time

Ethics, might make such a huge jump impossible...

Time travel into the future is pretty much prov-en, by NASA and the Air Force back in the 40's and 50's. But travel back in time, that was never attempted ( which I doubt very much) as far as the publicly released research states.

ah, absoultes, time is a word with a definition for a concept that man kind came up with to describe the one thing that was niggling when trying to sleep at night and be there for work in the morning

it is a means of measurment, it could have been name Grog...

Then we would always be pressed for Grog instead of for time

granted, means of measurement are key to understanding, science, life in general, existance, knowing where we stand at what point in time and what came before us and what might come after.

but in the end, it is still something totally human in nature, something we've put into a box as we do out of need for keeping chaso at bay.

anyway I'll be null now, no telling what time I will stop if started

seriously, you need to go to sleep, because sleeping while learning is counter productive even if your eyes are open

time is not absolute it is relative and are you talkin about the philadelphia experiments with the future time travel???
