Guy's please....!!!

When trying to analyze space transportation and the like, remember that you are imagining things with your current level of understanding... You can travel in space and bend time or space and perhaps both!!!

Remember too that we are not teach at school all the "real" physic. They keep that for themselves. Comparing their knowledge to are is like for us the go to Europe on an old sailboat and them, on a SR-71.

Cheers

NASA Ames Director Simon “Pete” Worden revealed Saturday that NASA Ames has “just started a project with DARPA called the Hundred Year Starship,” with $1 million funding from DARPA and $100K from NASA.

The amount of junk technologies that they waste time and money on, to avoid building hyperspace FTL saucers... is simply amazing.


And this is the best tech that DARPA could provide?
Cough up the TR-3B, DARPA.

But that way there will not be as much jealousy and hopefully less stress between the people.

Interesting book for sure.

Pred...


As every extra ounce carried means more air, more fuel and a larger spaceship, and women are generally lighter than men, Nasa need to be looking for small women to send. Women also have the added advantage of slower metabolisms, on average, meaning less food per kilo. And women have higher pain threshholds and don't faint at the sight of a drop of blood.

Of course you'd have to pull out their fingernails first, but once that's done a bunch of little lesbians should do the trick.

This world is amazing is it not that someone in the position of "NASA Ames director" could be considered a Moron by anyone not in a higher position than the person being slighted.

Wonders will never cease.

Actually we've had startrek engines since like the 1960's.. The Enterprise's impulse engines are ion drives, we already have satelites using them and with a second stage microwave booster added you get full impulse power mr. scott

Whats the use we launch this one then in another 20 years something we build much faster will pass this one, then another five years something will go screaming by that one and so on. :shk:


With that logic, what is the point of progressing anything? This is in my opinion a huge jump from what we currently have access too. I'm not saying the technology is new, but knowledge is exponential and this could be the catalyst project for us to realize that. A ship that has the ability to mine other bodies in space efficiently would be helpful to us on Earth.

Yeah but by that logic we'd be mining and exploiting resources that are there for the taking under the ocean....

Oh wait the UN and World Court have effectively locked us out of those resources with a treaty that makes mining or resource extraction in international waters financially Impossible....

the treaty gives EVERY COUNTRY that is a UN signatory a Cut of ANY proceeds from undersea mining outside of territorial waters.... which is why no one extracts the MASSIVE resources that are in some cases LAYING ON THE SEA BED where you wouldn't need so much as a plastic shovel to get to them...

By that logic we'd be using space tethers and orbital solar arrays beamed to ground based receiver stations afterall solar power is several times more effective in space than all the way down an atmosphere.

Bottom LINE we don't need to mine space to stem the tide of scarcity... the only scarcity that exists is a scarcity of any sort of HUMAN DECENCY among those that skim off so much from society that there isn't enough for the rest of the world while they live lavishly their bank accounts and trust funds so full it will take HUNDREDS OF GENERATIONS for their heirs to spend it all if they didn't add another dollar to it again!!

ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY is how they talk us into believing that some people NEED to go without.
THIS is the initial spring from which all of their other divisive tactics flows forth!!
When you are taught from an early age there is not enough for everyone, while you may FEEL BAD you are still going to ATTEMPT to MAKE SURE YOU GET AS MUCH AS YOU CAN in one way or another....

This and the removal of a community's ability to produce a sufficient percentage of everything it needs to maintain itself and not backslide..... is what COERCE's the populace into giving up freedom and independence for SECURITY

Security provided by government is by definition a function of a group of people banding together in a cohesive group to secure AS MUCH OF WHATEVER ITEM OF SCARCITY they can get whether that causes others to do wtihout or not.... THIS IS WHY THEY TEACH US FROM DAY ONE THERE ISN"T ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE!!

It's not TRUE but it is EXPEDIENT for them to maintain said FICTION due to the HARDWIRED BIOLOGICAL IMPERATIVE that exists in EACH AND EVERY HUMAN BEING that DEMANDS we do our best to SURVIVE and PROTECT our MATES OFFSPRING AND TRIBE even at the COST OF OTHERS

cool find! S & F it would be nice to have interstellar travel

Since when is "a few years" equal to TWO DECADES? (he stated missions to Mars' moons by 2030!)....
Something seems amiss here.
