The miniature and remote controlled space laboratories and their role in science

The term “space station” is not very well understood in the literature.It actually means the structure, what has long-term being in space, and some of those structures are quite small, the laboratories of those vehicles are remotely controlled. The X-37B and other space shuttles can also operate as miniaturized space stations, and they can stay in orbital trajectory very long time. Because they are unmanned, there would make investigations without risking human lives, and that would give more usages for those devices. When the mission is accomplished that space laboratory would land back to earth.


When we are talking about biological experiments, what are made with those small size spacecraft, they can operate years in space. And there would be no risk for human lives. In those remotely controlled laboratories could be released mosquitos and other bugs, and observe their population in the spacecraft. That could give very good information what could happen in spacecraft where some bug would slip in. Also, cell bases can be tested in long-term spaceflight because the risk of cancer might be very big if astronauts would be in space very long periods.


Those very advanced laboratories are remote controlled, and they are equipped with robot hands, what would be used to taking care of those laboratories. The automatized space laboratories could also use in structural tests, where they might equip with systems, what makes electromagnetic power shield around the spaceship. This shield would drive the alpha- and beta rays off the spacecraft core. But those systems might be dangerous because overvoltage can cause problems with computers.


Cargo bay of space-shuttles can be used to bring the asteroids to Earth. The space shuttle can take small stones from the asteroid belt, and put them in the cargo bay. There those rocks would investigate by microscopes and spectrometers, and the most interesting of them might bring to the Earth. Those small shuttles can operate anywhere in the solar system, and they can equip with RTG, and Centaur-stage for maneuvers. Maybe this kind of devices would send to Jovian and Saturnian orbiter to find out the situation in those systems.


If there would be enough big rocket stage in that device, that shuttle can bring the examples from those gas giants to Earth. When they are coming back, the rocket stage would be left this rocket stage behind it. And land in any airfield on Earth. Those missions would spend years, and the use of automatic spacecraft would give those scientists opportunity to do other projects than this one. And that miniature shuttle can be equipped with sophisticated artificial intelligence, what allows them to operate very independently. And if there would bring something, what risks human lives on Earth, could that spaceship burn in sun.

Antigravity will be the greatest thing. That we have ever created.

"Artistic depiction of a fictional anti-gravity vehicle" (Wikipedia, Anti-gravity) Sometimes, if the airships have the same lifting power as the weight of the airship.  It can act like some “antigravity system”. Those systems are based on lighter-than-air gas or hot air. The system can have a helium tank. And the hot-air section whose temperature can be adjusted using microwaves or particles that lasers warm. Those systems are faster to control than some gas flames. This makes it possible. To adjust the lifting power.  If a thing like a balloon has the same lifting power as its weight, the balloon can be lifted to a certain point and altitude. And the balloon stands at that point until something moves it. That kind of thing can make an impression. On the antigravity systems. Modern airships. Like Lockheed-Martin P-791 can look. Like a “UFO”. The system can use systems to move the craft. Or maybe those ion systems are used for plasma stealth systems, if those airships' mis...

Capitalism is a blessing and a curse.

Basically. There is nothing wrong with capitalism. The idea of capitalism is simple. If people like your products, they buy them. And that brings money to your bank accounts. If people don’t like our product, they don’t buy it. And that drives you into bankruptcy. That is the economic Darwinism. If the company cannot sell its products. That removes it from markets.  Other ways. We can say that if the company cannot answer those new challenges, it will be terminated immediately. In the Soviet Union, there was no capitalism. And the competition between companies. Did not exist. That caused a situation where the merchandise. With bad quality being. Entered. Into shops. Without competition, there was no development. And that turned those products old-fashioned. That raised the Soviets' addiction. To the natural resources. To get Western currency. They sold gas and oil to get dollars, which they needed to buy Western technology. That caused a situation. The Soviet technology started to ...

Hidden order in quantum entropy can endanger the quantum network.

"Physicists have uncovered hidden magnetic patterns lurking inside a puzzling state of matter called the pseudogap, which appears just before certain materials become superconductors. Credit: Shutterstock. (ScitechDaily, Superconductivity Breakthrough: Hidden Order Found Inside Quantum Chaos) We know the thing. Superconductivity makes objects levitate. That levitation is known as the Meissner effect. The effect is formed when all atoms in the system are in the same way. In a very low temperature. Those atoms are in the same quantum field. Because atoms are inside one collective quantum field, that thing makes it possible to push that quantum field up. And because that field is forming a collective bubble that moves the entire object up. In a superconducting wire, the atoms are. Under one collective quantum field. Because electricity travels in that field. There doesn’t form standing waves, and that denies the resistance.  In the Meissner effect, the electromagnetic fields trav...
