My estimation of Arthur C. Clarke's book "Earthlight" (1955)

"Earthlight" Arthur C. Clarke (1955) http://kirjabloggaus.blogspot.com/p/my-estimation-of-arthur-c-clarkes-book.html Kimmo Huosionmaa "Earthlight" is the novel, what Arthur C. Clarke wrote in 1955, and it is the very futuristic story about the war between the Earth and it's colonies. The book is full of technical things, like the train, what travels on the surface of the moon. This fictional moon train is a quite conventional electric train, what is modified as the space capsule, and it would travel to the station, and then the airlocks would be connected to that system, what allows people to travel on the surface of the Moon. The combat systems that are used in this book, are the probably triangle-shape spacecraft, what have thrust to every side of those vehicles, and that would make those ships, what fictional colony would be used capable to fly like some UFO. Because the war between colonies, what are known as "Federals" is expected, t...

Interesting theory that maybe we are alone in our galaxy

(Picture 1) https://futurism.com/a-new-theory-suggests-we-may-be-the-only-technologically-advanced-civilization-still-around/ Kimmo Huosionmaa When we are talking about the theory that maybe we are alone in our galaxy, we must say that maybe we are lucky. Because if there would be other technical civilizations around us,  our faith would be destroyed by the attack of aliens. Here I must say, that if I’m honest, I would win everybody in argumentation when we are talking about SETI-program and alien civilizations. I must choose only the distance, what is so huge, that the radio-impulses from the Earth would not reach that point in our lifetime. So I can say that maybe there is technical civilization in the distance of thousand light years. And that means the signal from Earth and that point would travel thousand years in one way. If the alien would answer immediately, the signal would travel 2000 years before we would get the answer. This means that none of us would liv...
