What time is it?

I've been getting a lot of comments on Facebook about the inplausibility of moon colonization. Well, of course it's implausible, we haven't reached the point where we're really trying!! Of course it gets me upset, we have so much inner turmoil on Earth because all of our interests are turned inward; get all the money, get all the resources, control all the people. The real peace of mind is in exploring space, at this point of time in what humans are able to comprehend, it's vastless. Earth needs a common goal to get everyone to stop thinking about themselves, and start thinking for themselves.

I'll continue to douse flamers cause this is what I believe in, there's a point in everyone's life that they find something they believe in and they stand up and revolve.

This was all over the Internet in 2007. Google just finished their $1M prize contest for launching a rocket into orbit and bringing it back to Earth safely. This was a precursor to the current $30M prize contest to fly to the moon and touchdown with a lunar lander. Their target date is 2014 to have privately funded moon landings. They are focused on sustaining humanity longevity by promoting innovation. Here are a couple of their competitions hosted by X Prize.

There is also a formalized career orientated option offered at the International Space University in France.

But I still believe the home-grown privatized projects are going to be more progressive at this point. University gives you a good knowledge base, but is slow moving and very traditional. They remain fairly theoretical and conservative with practical applications and investing their resources into topics such as space management and space law. We're still at an infantile stage when it comes to space, so I believe most of our progress will come from entrepreneurial radicals, non-conformists and mavericks. The norm isn't space, it's "who has a better cellphone plan". Sad.

Short blog, feeling a bit down and out, over and under. Ciao.

Low on Energy?

Alternate sources of energy are quickly becoming a concern. I did a quick search to see what kind of new updates have made the news.

This is a self-propelled generator that has the ability to power a household without any maintence for several years (repair is probably needed to replace moving parts).

Speaking of generators, Tom Bearden has a very interesting development. Originally I was going to write a post on gravity after thinking over gravity wells, but after looking at video on gravity and the use of reiki in humans, I moved on to more conventional ideas like tangible energy sources. Check out Tom's page, it's interesting, he talks about how electromagnetic energy is abundant in the vacuum around us, and that energy can be collected from the vacuum. This idea has merit, it connects gravity, electromagnetism (resonance) and mass into an idea of energy production. Going back to reiki it makes "internal" sense, it's a very radical idea, but a worthwhile one to explore.

Harnessing the power of the sun just got smaller. 15,000x smaller, you might need a small field of mirrors to concentrate the sun into this solar panel, but it's huge steps. Hopefully it won't be too expensive.

This is getting rather old, we need to see some progress with the salt water fuel ASAP. Especially by way of automobiles as it's easily the most mass produced polluter on the planet. The following 2 videos are about a recent finding on separating the hydrogen from water.

The following is a tribute to Stan Meyer, he invented something good, got sued by his investors, and quietly poisoned in a restaurant. Before John Kansas accidently discovered a way to separate hydrogen from water, Stan Meyer had already retrofitted a dune buggy with a water fuel engine. In the previous video you can see his twin brother carrying on his work.

The legacy and project has been kept alive despite major automotive companies aspiring to maintain a strong bottom line.

I'll discuss gravity another day. Two days left to clean your towel!

May 27th is....

You might have heard about net neutrality. It's basically the existing setup of Internet being offerred by your service providers today. What they are attempting to do is throttle or shape the internet traffic, based on marketing revenues paid to them. Basically, if you're joe schmo and have a website like me, unless you dish out big bucks, people will never see your website. Obviously large marketing corporations don't have a problem with this, but mom and pop shops, activists, even forum discussion pages will not have appropriate access to them.

Lame. Right now the Internet is a free information market, the only reason to throttle it is for monetary purposes and generating extra revenue. And most importantly, it's a method to further control the media you have access to. Say YES to Net Neutrality. If you can, support the rally on Parliment Hill in Ottawa on Tuesday, May 27th @ 11:30AM. There will be several political figures and activists speaking on the subject. If you can't make it, do what I did and sign the petition: http://www.canadians.org/action/2008/27-Mar-08.html

Here are a collection of Net Neutrality videos.

It's already happening, Virgin in UK and Bell in Canada have plans in action to make money off Internet users by RESTRICTING ACCESS TO THE INTERNET!! This was the first I heard about it, I'm not a big fan of Athene, but this issue is bigger than that. I believe everyone has the right to be visible on the Net. I went Koodo mobile instead of Virgin when it came time to go with a mobile company. Spread the word until they get the picture.
