Sustainable Space Boom Will Transform the World and then The Solar System
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 22 hours ago
Right now we have the technology horsepower to do it. What is missing still is the build protocol. As i have already posted, we can go into space easiest through building a simple sphere inside a ballon that retains a working atmosphere. The sphere rotates around a zero gravity axle that can be a kilometer long to provide shipping and working dry docks as well. Suspension cables pass over the cylinder shell and down to the working outer shell(s). This can be made almost fool proof with foam filled bubbles on the inner surface of the balloon. All the interior space can be also ...
Mass Rape, Sexual Abuse: Communist China’s Genocidal Tool to Eliminate Faith
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 22 hours ago
This is of course a description of rank barbarism applied to an alternate culture and must arise again and again. It must remain unanswered because the CCP, as the NAZIs before them apply State Secrecy to minimize exposure. Thay means we do not know hte practical truth. It could be as little as a handful in order to inform the others which is why we are hearing about it all Yet we recall that the NAZIs chose to make it their business under the shroud of war. This level of Anti - CCP propaganda must make it impossible to conduct business, just as a slew of unethical business dea...

What comes out of this that american and British concepts of celebrity are at least different. Certainly it is somthing that has not traveled well. What may come out of all this is very much a work in progress, Understand also that the whole artifice itself in under assault and may be unable to survive. And who would care? After all it is largely serving to grossly elevate seriously average people. Whatever for? Then their mundane lives become a press item with the connivance of their press agents.

Russia's Killer: Why the Soviet-Era MiG-31 Fighter Is Still a Big Deal
Sebastien Roblin, The National Interest - 22 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Russian Air Force, Europe* Moscow has hundreds of these planes and its working on modernizing them. *Key point: *These interceptors are very impressive.
