Five hours to make one brick sounds like a long time. Maybe if you sent in the robots and had them working on projects before humans landed the time would not be a problem.

Martian habitats are ideally constructed using only locally available soils; extant attempts to process structural materials on Mars, however, generally require additives or calcination. In this work we demonstrate that Martian soil simulant Mars-1a can be directly compressed at ambient into a strong solid without additives, highlighting a possible aspect of complete Martian <i>in</i>-<i>situ</i> resource utilization. Flexural strength of the compact is not only determined by the compaction pressure but also significantly influenced by the lateral boundary condition of processing loading. The compression loading can be applied either quasi-statically or through impact. Nanoparticulate iron oxide (npOx), commonly detected in Martian regolith, is identified as the bonding agent. Gas permeability of compacted samples was measured to be on the order of 10<sup>−16</sup> m<sup>2</sup>, close to that of solid rocks. The compaction procedure is adaptive to additive manufacturing.</div>

Introduction: The potential of utilizing lunar regolith as the raw material for manufacturing structural members is very appealing for future exploration of the Moon [1,2]. Future lunar missions will depend on in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) for structural components. Manufacturing structural components directly from unrefined lunar regolith would have the advantage of needing less specialized material processing equipment in comparison with refining the lunar regolith for its raw elements. Sintering lunar regolith has been proposed as a structural material by previous researchers but has not been evaluated for its elastic material properties. Sintering can be a highly variable process and only with the material constants can a structure be designed from this material.</div>

Summary: An organic-inorganic nanohybrid of high flexure strength and low permeability is developed using lunar soil simulant and polymer-silicate interphase. The interphase consists of a continuous polyamide 6 phase, exfoliated silicate nanolayers, and dispersed silicate tactoids intercalated by polyamide 6 oligomers. The lunar soil simulant is strongly bonded by the interphase through a two-staged heating and mixing process, forming a multiscale structure with the characteristic lengths ranging from nanometer level to sub-millimeter level. This technique has great potential in developing high-performance space infrastructural materials using locally harvestable resources. A complete report has been published elsewhere.[1]</div>

The chemical and physical properties of the fine fraction of lunar soil is at the root of the unusual properties of the dust that contribute to its deleterious effects – its “liability". Recent discoveries of the unique magnetic properties of lunar mare and highland soils by the senior author’s Tennessee group have led to suggested solutions to the liability of the lunar dust. The soil fragments and dust grains contain myriads of adhering nano-sized (3-30 nm) Fe0 particles, iron in its elemental form, concentrated especially in the fine, dusty fraction. The presence of this ferromagnetic Fe0 on and in almost every grain of the fine dust-sized particles imparts an unusually high magnetic susceptibility to the particles, such that they are easily captures by a magnet. Furthermore, the presence of these nanophase Fe0 grains imparts an unusual property to the soil for microwave energy. The microwaves couple strongly with the Fe0 to such a degree that a sample of Apollo soil placed in an ordinary 2.45 MHz kitchen microwave will literally begin to melt before your tea-water boils. Further considerations of the properties of the fine soil are the basis for the microwave sintering/melting, hot-pressing, and extrusion of the soil to form various construction materials, in order to realize some of the "assets" of the soil</div>

NASA has over the years done more to put their face in front of the general public.</div>

Back when the Lunar Prospector mission was being set up the project was asked to find a way for the general public to get a feel for what was going on during real time while Lunar Prospector was orbiting the Moon. They set up a Lunar Prospector web site and I got to adapt some of their programs to let me send data to the web site display applets through a back door. These displays updated just 5 minutes after the live data was received. Much quicker than waiting a couple of years for the scientists papers to come out. :-)</div>

Using the amazing Space Engine and some mods created by Harbinger we can float around outside the International Space Station as it orbits the Earth. Using YouTube's 360 video feature you can look in any direction and those using headsets can experience the view from 400 km above Earth floating next to the most complicated piece of machinery ever made.</div>

It is a very good starting point to look at the Moon and as mentioned in the lecture, we now have additional data from the more recent missions that build on what was said here.</div>

For any of us that might like a refresher course, let me post again the links and topics covered. I am re-watching and looking for ideas as to what the general Internet audiance might like to see when we got back to the Moon with humans on the lunar surface.</div>

In the first presentation of the Moon 101 lecture series, Dr. Paul Spudis gives an introduction to the Moon, providing an overview of the more detailed Moon 101 lectures to follow. The presentation begins by describing the nature of the Moon as a heavily cratered rocky planet, and compares the general properties of the Moon to those of the Earth and Mars. Global images and elemental composition maps are then followed by discussions of: the thermal and micrometeorite environments on the lunar surface; the Moon's orbit and resulting eclipses and lunar librations as viewed from Earth; surface topography; moment of inertia; surface morphology and physiography; landscapes and terrains; the surface lighting environment; regolith and dust; and the origin of the Moon. The presentation concludes with a review of past and current robotic exploration missions to the Moon.</div>

Dr. Mendell's presentation addresses a multitude of aspects of the Lunar Environment. The first section reviews the many external factors that act upon the Moon and how their effects that need to be understood by the lunar designer or explorer. He chooses to discuss the environmental factors through their connection to the Moon's location in the universe, in the Milky Way Galaxy, in our solar system near the Sun, and in proximity to the Earth. The effects of the solar wind plasma, meteoroids, and solar insolation are important on the Moon because it lacks a magnetic field and a substantial atmosphere. He describes the Earth-Moon system as a “binary planet” and discusses the Lunar Coordinate System and the importance of the Moon’s polar regions. The second part of Dr. Mendell's presentation covers the implications of the environment for living and working on the Moon. We have little to no experience in habitat design for a low-gravity planet. The Moon's 'lumpy' structure introduces irregularities in its gravitational field, increasing the cost of maintaining low orbits. He goes on to discuss the Moon's tenuous atmosphere, its unusual surface reflectivity, ejecta from surface impacts (why we need to worry about this), lunar seismic events (moonquakes, impact events – even ours), and lastly emanations of gases from beneath the surface.</div>

Dr. Gary Lofgren discusses the current understanding of the crust of the Moon. The presentation begins with a brief overview of the Moon's surface, and discusses the prevailing Magma Ocean Theory resulting in the formation of the primary, or original, lunar crust. The crust was subsequently modified by impact bombardment and volcanic activity. Compositional variations in the lunar crust are then described as three major terrains: Procellarum KREEP terrain, Feldspathic Highlands terrain, and the South Pole-Aitken basin terrain. It is noted that studying rock samples is the key to understanding the lunar crust. The presentation then focuses on the characteristics and ages of the major rock types found on the Moon: basaltic rocks from mare lava flows, anorthositic rocks in the lunar highlands, impact breccias and melt rocks, and volcanic glasses. The lecture concludes with a brief review of the rock sampling conducted during the Apollo missions, and lessons learned for future lunar surface exploration.</div>

In the seventh presentation of the Moon 101 lecture series, Dr. Ben Bussey discusses the current understanding of the polar regions of the Moon. The presentation begins with a brief overview of the geometry of the Moon's axis of rotation with respect to the ecliptic plane, the resulting polar environment on the lunar surface, and the proposition that a polar region, particularly the south pole, would be a good location for a lunar outpost. Using imagery data from the Clementine and SMART-1 missions, the majority of the presentation focuses on how local topography at the poles result in two specific areas of interest: permanently shadowed craters possibly containing water ice, and topographically high areas that receive enhanced illumination from sunlight due to their elevated position with respect to the surrounding terrain. The presentation concludes with discussions about how radar instruments on the Chandrayaan-1 and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter</div>

<strong>Introduction</strong></div>

The subject of a lunar landing site/outpost/base has been explored extensively. Due to the cost and complexity involved, until now this has been almost the exclusive domain of government. In the United States we have gone through at least three generations of work in this area since the Apollo era. The vast majority of these plans and projects have been science driven, and scientific priorities have governed site selection and architecture. The general purpose here is to develop something fundamentally different. The general question to be investigated is; what would a non- governmental lunar development look like, premised upon economic development, industrialization and settlement? The specific purpose here is to zero in on a location so that further development and cost estimation can begin soon.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
The question of lunar development and its importance was discussed in an exceptional activity at a major Silicon Valley venture capital office in August of 2014. Over 40 participants, most of whom have spent their careers in engineering, the sciences, and finance, were gathered to discuss the subject of what would a privately financed installation, to the tune of $5 billion dollars, to be operational by the end of the year 2022 look like? The 2022 project milestone would be a permanently inhabited installation that would initially house at least ten people on extended tours. Discussions were held about cost, implementation, economic activity, and so forth and it was encouraging to see how quickly, with the parameters enumerated, the various participants came to a consensus on the path forward. This missive will discuss site selection within the larger context of the overall project goal.</div>

Humans LIVING on the Moon by --- Aaah that is the question. since I am 79 and thought we would be doing more with the Apollo missions, more after the Lunar Prospector mission found indications of water at the Lunar poles, or more after the later orbiters having looked down at the Moon with more and more information about the potential for benefiting from Lunar resources.</div>

We need to be careful here. If we say CONTROL, then we might be thinking military action. Would that turn the topic into some "BLACK OP". and lock everything away behind a cloud of secrecy? Or could we pass it off as something like the "<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clementine_(spacecraft)&source=gmail&ust=1492572905810000&usg=AFQjCNHK8ncPbYZBzFLBwDzGw7YV6VuKSg" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clementine_(spacecraft)" style="color: #2585b2;" target="_blank">Clementine</a>" mission to an asteroid that mapped the Moon using new instrumentation the military was interested in proof testing? <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/clementine.html&source=gmail&ust=1492572905810000&usg=AFQjCNFm0Gif0pORAZyAIdTMRSJjR4AmDw" href="https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/clementine.html" style="color: #2585b2;" target="_blank">https://nssdc.gsfc.na<wbr></wbr>sa.gov/planetary/clementine.ht<wbr></wbr>ml</a></div>

China has made progress in going to the Moon, both with orbiters and lander.

Planetary scientist Dr. Paul Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary Institute presents his argument for returning humans to the Moon before reaching for Mars and other destinations. Spudis explores three reasons for returning to the Moon: It is close, it is interesting, and it is useful. He argues the Moon is a logical base for further space exploration and possibly a future home for humanity. This was the first presentation in the Lunar and Planetary Institute’s 2016–2017 Cosmic Exploration Speaker Series — Mercury to Mars: LPI Explores the Solar System.</div>

<strong>The aim of this presentation</strong> is to define the basic reasons, means and timescale for the establishment of a permanent, manned lunar settlement. Going beyond a review of the vast existing literature on the subject, the underlying goal is a call into action (=launches) to all people and organisations involved and interested in the exploration and use of the Moon:<br />· the BIS<br />· the Planetary Society<br />· all Moon-related Societies (such as the Artemis Society)<br />· every single Lunar and Planetary scientist and<br />· for reasons that frankly should be obvious to everyone, also the Mars Society</div>

"MEME" = THE MOON IS OUR NEXT INHABITED PLANET,</div>

I am looking for more recent articles and I see that authors are still publishing and providing the WHAT is needed. Not so sure on the WHEN it will happen and that is why I think we need ways to unleash the "MEME" = THE MOON IS OUR NEXT INHABITED PLANET,</div>

Paul Spudis of "The Once and Future MOON" has a blog that emphasis going to the Moon first and NOT Mars, to the point that some say is repetitious and one sided. His newer books are sometimes reviewed with that view as well. That said, I think there are good points covered so here is the link to the blog and a YouTube presentation that is very clear and informative. Have a look see.</div>

Back in November of 2003 David Schrunk sent me a copy of a paper suggesting that when we go back to the Moon we should look at the south pole region of the Moon, up high, on a mountain ,where it would be possible to see back to Earth as well as get energy from the Sun almost continuously.</div>

Abstract</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
The resources of mankind are now sufficiently advanced to support the global human exploration and development of the Moon. This paper discusses the "Planet Moon Project", which portrays a vision to transform the Moon into an inhabited sister planet of the Earth in the 21st century. Beginning with small-scale, teleoperated in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) projects, electric power, communication, and transportation networks will be manufactured from lunar resources. These infrastructure networks will be field-tested and commissioned in the south polar region of the Moon, and permanent human outposts will then be established. Through several phases of development, the utility networks will grow, and the number of permanently inhabited bases will increase to include all areas of interest on the Moon. With long-term planning and prudent international coordination of resources, the responsible and beneficial conversion of the Moon into an inhabited sister planet of the Earth will thus become possible. - See more at: <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://ascelibrary.org/doi/pdf/10.1061/40479%2528204%252992%23sthash.lMDKY5Mj.dpuf&source=gmail&ust=1492238712574000&usg=AFQjCNEunUfUJfJoSDQO22zFLzKB2qgDEw" href="http://ascelibrary.org/doi/pdf/10.1061/40479%28204%2992#sthash.lMDKY5Mj.dpuf" rel="nofollow" style="color: #2585b2;" target="_blank">http://ascelibrary.org/<wbr></wbr>doi/pdf/10.1061/40479%28204%<wbr></wbr>2992#sthash.lMDKY5Mj.dpuf</a></div>

If you are interested in seeing us go back to the Moon these ideas may not be new.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
They may even seem repetitious and lack meaning in that it has been a long time since Apollo 17 landed on the Moon.</div>

What I think might help make a return a reality is to present the vision in such a vivid, emotional way that it becomes a "MEME" that is taken in and becomes a working part of the subconscious. mind and will spread to others as if a virus. :-)</div>

You may have noticed some LUNATICS that have already been infected. :-)</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
Now, if you have not yet been infected, and are brave enough, strong enough, and have an imagination that is receptive to the "MEME" = THE MOON IS OUR NEXT INHABITED PLANET, continue to search out and promote this vision.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
"</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">
Stand tall, breath deep, and say, "THE MOON IS OUR NEXT INHABITED PLANET,"</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">

Go to sleep each night with this closing thought.</div>

The ASAN instrument will allow a continuation of the very successful research initiated with the participation in the Indian Chandrayaan-1 mission with the SARA instrument. A wide range of ground breaking discoveries about the interaction of the solar wind with the lunar surface were made, including the first image of a mini-magnetosphere on the Moon. Many of the open questions raised by SARA measurements made from orbit, will find an answer with ground truth data obtained by the ASAN instrument.</div>

Either one will take some time to watch. That said, I enjoyed looking at the photography and remembering those that worked on making it possible to build the ISS.</div>
<div>
The commentary about the many cameras was very informative. High speed photography gives you a great view of action otherwise gone in a blink of the eye.</div>

<br />Drop whatever you're doing and watch this. NASA has released videos shot from onboard the Space Shuttle's Solid Rocket Boosters in the past, but you've never seen one prepared as masterfully as this.<br /><br />For one thing, the footage was shot in high definition, so the image is exceptionally clear. But what puts this video head and shoulders above most other rocketcams is the sound. The audio has been remastered by the folks over at Skywalker Sound (yes, that Skywalker Sound), and the final product is nothing short of incredible.<br /><br />Michael Interbartolo — who used to work on the Shuttle Program at Mission Control in Houston — had this to say about the video when he posted it to Google+ earlier this morning:<br /><br />Just got this from the guys at Glenn who are finalizing the new special edition DVD/BluRay version of Ascent: Commemorating Shuttle which this will be an extra on. The video is shot from the Solid Rocket Booster Perspective up and down with enhanced sound thanks to Ben Burtt's son and the folks at Skywalker Sound. The team is still trying to figure out how to release this all to the public, but for now enjoy an exclusive first look. +NASA youtube doesn't even have the video.<br />Try to let what you're witnessing sink in. See those numbers flying past in the upper right hand corner? That's the Shuttle's airspeed. See that gleam of light against the inky backdrop of space at 2:08 and 3:11? That's the Shuttle continuing on its flight path into low Earth orbit. Hear the eerie rattling, haunting moans, and weird dinosaur noises? That's what it sounds like to be a Solid Rocket Booster, falling to Earth from an altitude of 150,000 feet.</blockquote>

<br /><b>Turn up your speakers and take a wild ride on a Shuttle solid rocket booster</b><br />By Phil Plait | March 15, 2012 9:31 am</div>

On Google+, Michael Interbartolo — who worked for ten years on the Space Shuttle Program in Mission Control in Houston — <a href="https://plus.google.com/+michaelinterbartolo3/posts/G2b8mknABwL" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">just posted</a> about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aCOyOvOw5c" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">this amazing video</a> from cameras mounted on the Shuttle solid rockets as they rode into space. We’ve seen videos from rocketcams before, but this is very clear, and has enhanced sound that’ll rock your speakers:</div>
<br />There’s a lot to see here! The ascent is very cool, of course, and at two minutes the solid rocket boosters (or SRBs) separate from the external tank and Orbiter. As they tumble away we see the Earth spinning around, and several times you can see the plume from the launch in the view poking up from the surface into the sky. You can also see the bright "star" of the Orbiter as it continues on into space — the SRBs only burn for about two minutes, and are used as an assist to boost the Orbiter above the atmosphere. Once the SRBs drop away, the Orbiter burns liquid fuel from the orange external tank until it has enough speed to attain orbit.<div>

Photographic documentation of a Space Shuttle launch plays a critical role in the engineering analysis and evaluation process that takes place during each and every mission. Motion and Still images enable Shuttle engineers to visually identify off-nominal events and conditions requiring corrective action to ensure mission safety and success. This imagery also provides highly inspirational and educational insight to those outside the NASA family.<br /><br />This compilation of film and video presents the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery from STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124 missions. Rendered in the highest definition possible, this production is a tribute to the dozens of men and women of the Shuttle imaging team and the 30yrs of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.<br /><br />The video was produced by Matt Melis at the Glenn Research Center.<br />Finally PAO uploaded a 720p version, not sure if we will get 1080p like you wanted, but at least we are making progress.<br /><br /><a dir="ltr" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFwqZ4qAUkE" rel="nofollow" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #167ac6; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFwqZ4qAUkE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?<wbr></wbr>v=vFwqZ4...</a></div>

This video from the Glenn Research Center highlights in stunning, behind-the-scenes imagery the launches of three space shuttle missions: STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124. NASA engineers provide commentary as footage from the ground and from the orbiters themselves document in detail the first phase of a mission.</div>

There's an astronaut saying: In space, "there is no problem so bad that you can't make it worse." So how do you deal with the complexity, the sheer pressure, of dealing with dangerous and scary situations? Retired colonel Chris Hadfield paints a vivid portrait of how to be prepared for the worst in space (and life) -- and it starts with walking into a spider's web.

Behold... the Originale music video for the David Bowie song Space Oddity from Bowie's promotional film, 'Love You Till Tuesday', originally released in 1969 and re-released on dvd. I'm very happy to share this rare, unique and odd version of the video and song. EnJoy this piece of space film gold and vintage anti-special effects. <a dir="ltr" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_You_till_Tuesday_(film" rel="nofollow" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; color: #167ac6; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_You_till_Tuesday_(film">http://en.wikipedia.<wbr></wbr>org/wiki/Love_You...</a>)<br /><br />I should say, I found this video on the interwebs in 2006. By accident, i meant to download the album Space Oddity. Instead I found this, didn't find any info about it anywhere, and posted it on the New video sharing website Youtube. I'm just so happy I found it because if not, who knows when this would have been uploaded. And it's such a wierd, special and super rare video and recording. So glad I can share it with people! Super cool gang!</div>

<b>The audacious plan to end hunger with 3-D printed food</b><br />
<br />
Anjan Contractor’s 3D food printer might evoke visions of the“replicator” popularized in Star Trek, from which Captain Picard was constantly interrupting himself to order tea. And indeed Contractor’s company, Systems & Materials Research Corporation, just got a six month, $125,000 grant from NASA to create a prototype of his universal food synthesizer.<br />
<br />
But Contractor, a mechanical engineer with a background in 3D printing, envisions a much more mundane—and ultimately more important—use for the technology. He sees a day when every kitchen has a 3D printer, and the earth’s 12 billion people feed themselves customized, nutritionally-appropriate meals synthesized one layer at a time, from cartridges of powder and oils they buy at the corner grocery store. Contractor’s vision would mean the end of food waste, because the powder his system will use is shelf-stable for up to 30 years, so that each cartridge, whether it contains sugars, complex carbohydrates, protein or some other basic building block, would be fully exhausted before being returned to the store.</div>

<b>3D Printing: Food in Space</b><br />
<br />
NASA and a Texas company are exploring the possibility of using a "3D printer" on deep space missions in a way where the "D" would stand for dining.<br />
<br style="background-color: #e4e4e4; color: #2e2e2e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;" />
NASA has awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Systems and Materials Research Consultancy of Austin, Texas to study the feasibility of using additive manufacturing, better known as 3D printing, for making food in space. Systems and Materials Research Consultancy will conduct a study for the development of a 3D printed food system for long duration space missions. Phase I SBIR proposals are very early stage concepts that may or may not mature into actual systems. This food printing technology may result in a phase II study, which still will be several years from being tested on an actual space flight.</div>
<div>

Future long duration space missions beyond low Earth orbit have unique challenges for food quality, variety, and nutrient stability. Current astronaut nutrition is exclusively meal-ready-to-eat (MRE) pouches, which do not provide flavor and texture variety or long term nutrient stability. There exists a need for a new food technology system that provides interesting flavors and recipes while including nutrient supplements to offset nutritional degradation from long term storage.<br />
<br />
SMRC’s 3D printed food system will provide nutritious food choices in a variety of forms and flavors. In a Mars mission, this system is to be used in conjunction with bulk foods, prepackaged foods, and hydroponically grown foods. Potentially, hundreds of recipes are available, utilizing raw ingredient food stocks. An additional value added product of this system is the possibility of therapeutic diets. The probability that one or more astronauts will be injured or fall ill is high. Special therapeutic diets can be programmed at NASA headquarters and transmitted to the spacecraft. SMRC’s food dispensing system will be an adaptable food supply for individual tastes and nutrition needs.<br />
<br />
SMRC has developed a 3D printed food system capable of dispensing viscous food made from powder and liquid ingredients. Cheese pizza has been the first demonstrated meal from SMRC’s 3D food printer. Pizza dough is dispensed onto a hot plate where it is cooked, followed by a tomato layer and cheese topping. Future developments of the 3D printer will include an oven for cooking the food. Nutrient addition to meals is a future add-on to the 3D printed food system.<br />

In one of its quirkier moves to date, 3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) just unveiled its new line of ChefJet 3D sugar printers.<br />
<br />
Just as the name implies, 3D Systems insists ChefJet will allow any professional kitchen to incorporate "stunning edible prints" with minimal effort -- that is, for foodies willing to fork out some serious dough.<br />
<br />
ChefJet will be available later this year in two models: one at "under $5,000" to deliver single-color edible prints, and another "Pro" version for "under $10,000" to enable larger, full-color designs<br />

<br />
3D Systems is at the leading edge of a disruptive technological revolution, with the broadest portfolio of 3-D printers in the industry. However, despite years of earnings growth, 3D Systems' share price has risen even faster, and today the company sports a dizzying valuation. To help investors decide whether the future of additive manufacturing is bright enough to justify the lofty price tag on the company's shares,<br />

<b>There’s nothing new about Silicon Valley’s food hacking</b><br />
<br />
The <i>disrupterati </i>are bored, and they want to play with your food. Having flattened shopping, unshackled education, hotwired our wheels and loggified our daily lives, they now want to get into our mouths. Engineers-turned-chefs are tinkering with what’s in our food, and bringing technology to bear from other fields to do it in the name of science. However, it isn’t clear that this rush to re-engineer food is any different than what the mainstream food industry has been doing for years, only it’s coming out of a sector of industry more interested in accelerated change for change’s sake than in cracking major problems or satisfying real needs.</div>

<b>Fake meat: is science fiction on the verge of becoming fact?</b></div>
<br />
As mission statements go, it takes some beating. Scrawled on a whiteboard are the words: "We will change how the Earth looks from space!" It surpasses "Don't be evil" (the motto of Google, just down the road), and in terms of hubris it trumps even that of Facebook (also just round the corner): "Move fast and break things!"<br />
<br />
In this anonymous laboratory on a low-rise industrial estate in Menlo Park, 40km south of San Francisco, there is a whiff of revolution in the air. There is a whiff of madness, too, but after a few hours in the company of the man leading this intriguing Silicon Valley startup, one begins to wonder if it is the rest of the world that is insane.<br />
<br />
Professor Patrick Brown could easily be taken for a deranged visionary. He is intense, driven and unfazed by critics and rivals. This 57-year-old ultra-lean, sandal-wearing, marathon-running vegan wants to stop the world eating meat. Not through persuasion or coercion, but by offering us carnivores something better for the same price or less.</div>

<b>RepRap </b>is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine.<br />
<br />
<b>RepRap </b>takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend...<br />
<br />
<b>RepRap is about making self-replicating machines</b>, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too.<br />

If Lucian Rudaux was the Grandfather of space art, Chesley Bonestell was the father. He was born on January 1, 1888, 15 years before the Wright brothers first flew and 38 years before the launch of the first liquid-fuel rocket. When he died 98 years later, men had walked on the moon and spacecraft had visited most of the planets and many of the moons of the solar system.<br />
<br />
Bonestell's paintings not only anticipated 20th century space exploration, they helped to bring it about. So realistic were his depictions of other worlds that visiting them no longer seemed fantasy. His artwork looked like picture postcards taken by some future astronaut.</div>

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the inaugural publication of Bonestell's space art, Bonestell LLC is releasing 250 limited edition art prints of Saturn as seen from Titan. The last official printing of Bonestell's Saturn as seen from Titan was in the 1970s.<br />
<br />
Chesley Bonestell's space art first appeared in the May 29, 1944, issue of Life magazine, accompanying the article, "Solar System: It is Modeled in Miniature by Saturn and Nine Moons." The article featured a series of paintings – including Saturn as seen from Titan – depicting views of Saturn from its various satellites and presenting the audience with a realistic and magical impression of Saturn and space. Thus began the era in which Bonestell's art provided a window to explore space in magazines such as Collier's, Fantasy and Science Fiction, Life, Pic, Coronet, Scientific American, and in books such as The Conquest of Space and The Exploration of Mars.<br />
<br />
Saturn as seen from Titan became one of Bonestell's most iconic paintings. It is also one of the paintings he would paint again and again, the view evolving with time. The print for purchase is a version he created in 1952 for his daughter, Jane Webster. It was first exhibited in the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, October 1957. While its second and last exhibition was in 1988 at the California Academy of Sciences.<br />
<br />
The print was released on June 11, 2014. This date is significant: Chesley Bonestell passed away on June 11, 1986, doing one of the things he loved most – painting.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">To learn more about the painting's different incarnations, read Ron Miller's essay, "</span><a href="http://chesleybonestell.tumblr.com/post/90369676094/the-evolution-of-a-space-icon" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" target="_blank">The Evolution of a Space Icon</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">."

Chesley Knight Bonestell, Jr. (January 1, 1888 – June 11, 1986) was an American painter, designer and illustrator.[2] His paintings were a major influence on science fiction art and illustration, and he helped inspire the American space program. An early pioneering creator of astronomical art, along with the French astronomer-artist Lucien Rudaux, Bonestell was dubbed the "Father of Modern Space Art".<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>The influence of the arts on our popular culture is well known. The television generation grew up with Forbidden Planet and Star Trek, shaping our sensibilities and expectations about space travel. The genre of “space art” enlightened and expanded our minds and ignited our imaginations. The sixties and seventies brought us “space” artists with their startlingly realistic vistas of unvisited worlds and ancient times. Authors, writing for all ages and levels of interest, found eager audiences. From the beginning, the space age left an indelible mark on many.<br />

<b>The Saga of Lunar Landscape</b><br />
Posted on January 22, 2010 by The National Air and Space Museum<br />
<br />
For more than a decade it has been my privilege, among my other duties, to serve as curator of the National Air and Space Museum art collection. It comes as a surprise to many folks to realize that the Museum has an art collection. In fact, it includes over 4,700 works by artists with names like Daumier, Goya, Rauschenberg, Rockwell and Wyeth, and is perhaps the finest and best-rounded collection of aerospace-themed art held by any of the world’s museums. People who are aware that I manage the Museum’s art treasures occasionally ask if I have a favorite work in the collection, I do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Chesley Bonestell’s mural, Lunar Landscape, was unveiled at the Boston Science Museum’s Hayden Planetarium on March 28, 1957. “No spaceship reservations are needed for a startlingly realistic visit to the Moon” announced a museum press release. Measuring forty feet long by ten feet tall, the dramatic panorama of the lunar surface was the masterwork of an artist who had done more than his fair share to set the stage for the coming of the Space Age.</div>

Russian manned lunar flyby spacecraft. Study 2005. Potential commercial circumlunar manned flights were offered in 2005, using a modified Soyuz spacecraft docked to a Block DM upper stage.<br /><br />The customer would be shot around the moon as early as 2008 at a price of $100 million. Soyuz had already been proven for this role under the L1 program in the 1960's.<br /><br />In August 2005 Energia, in collaboration with Space Adventures / Deep Space Expeditions announced the potential offering of flights around the moon to millionaires able to afford the $ 100 million price tag. Dusting off the work of the 1960's that resulted in the Soyuz being qualified for manned circumlunar flight, the new version proposed two mission profiles:<br /><br />The baseline Direct Staged Mission would run as follows:<br /><br />Day 1: Launch of a Soyuz TMA spacecraft by a Soyuz 11A511U booster into low earth orbit.<br />Day 2: Launch of Block DM upper stage by a Zenit-3 launch vehicle. After the Block DM's parking orbit parameters were verified, the Soyuz TMA began to maneuver to rendezvous with the upper stage.<br />Day 3: The Soyuz docked with the Block DM. After check-out, the Block DM fired to propel the Soyuz on a trans-lunar trajectory. After burn-out, the Soyuz undocks from the upper stage and continues on its ballistic course toward the moon.<br />Days 4-5: Coast to the moon. The Soyuz makes mid-course maneuvers as necessary.<br />Day 6: Loop around the moon at a considerable altitude. The Soyuz did not have the propellant capacity to enter lunar orbit, so the surface passed by below in an encounter of just a few hours.<br />Days 7-8: The long fall back towards earth, with midcourse corrections as needed.<br />Day 9: Re-entry in the earth's atmosphere. Presumably the Soyuz would make the double-dip trajectory over one of the earth's poles perfected by the L1 Zond spacecraft in the 1960's.<br /><br />Another, more expensive variant of the mission foresaw the Soyuz spending two weeks at the International Space Station prior to the lunar mission - a total of 3 weeks in space, in earth orbit, and around the moon.----</div>

<b>Congress Instructs NASA to Build a Space Habitat by 2018</b></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">NASA’S NEW JOB FROM CONGRESS</span></h5>
<div style="color: #59696b; font-family: DIN, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 30.36px; margin-bottom: 30px;">
Some of NASA’s successes in 2015 include <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-confirms-evidence-that-liquid-water-flows-on-today-s-mars" style="background: transparent; color: #31a1ff; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">finding liquid water on Mars</a> and<a href="https://www.nasa.gov/image-feature/the-icy-mountains-of-pluto" style="background: transparent; color: #31a1ff; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> icy mountains on Pluto</a>. In fact, the agency has been making so much waves that the US Congress has decided to give it a <a href="http://futurism.com/links/nasa-just-got-biggest-budget-decade-1-3-billion-boost/" style="background: transparent; color: #31a1ff; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">raise</a>.</div>
<div style="color: #59696b; font-family: DIN, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 30.36px; margin-bottom: 30px;">
<span style="line-height: 30.36px;">However, there’s a catch.</span></div>
<div style="color: #59696b; font-family: DIN, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 30.36px; margin-bottom: 30px;">
Congress is instructing NASA to use some of that money, which is at least US$55 million, to construct a prototype model of a deep space habitat. An omnibus bill passed by Congress this month directs NASA to accelerate work on a “habitation augmentation module” that could be used for future deep space missions.</div>
<div style="color: #59696b; font-family: DIN, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 30.36px; margin-bottom: 30px;">
The funds will be part of the Advanced Exploration Systems program, which in turn is part of the Exploration Research and Development line item in the budget that received $350 million in the bill. It further states that “NASA shall develop a prototype deep space habitation module within the advanced exploration systems program.” NASA will also be required to provide Congress with a report within 180 days of the bill’s enactment detailing how those funds are being used to create the habitation module.</div>
<div style="color: #59696b; font-family: DIN, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 30.36px; margin-bottom: 30px;">
And Congress wants everything done by 2018.</div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.456px;">NASA celebrated news of an unexpected windfall earlier this month when after years of penny-pinching, Congress announced it would increase the space agency’s budget by $1.3 billion in 2016. </span><br />

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.456px;">Now it's emerged that a chunk of that money has been earmarked to help bolster the agency’s plans for a Martian mission. As Popular Science noted, Congress directed NASA to use $55 million of its $19.3 billion budget to begin building a deep space habitat that will hou</span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.456px;">se astronauts during future exploratory missions to the red planet.</span></div>

<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.456px;">Congress gave the agency until 2018 to develop a decent prototype model of the “habitation module.” NASA must also produce a report on the status of the program in 180 days.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.456px;">NASA said it hopes to launch a crewed mission to Mars by the 2030s, and to begin cislunar (between Earth and the moon) testing of a workable habitat by the 2020s.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.456px;">As SpaceNews noted, the agency has already started working with companies like Bigelow Aerospace, Boeing and Orbital ATK to study habitat designs. The new funding and directive from Congress, however, “could force NASA to speed up” these plans.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 15.456px;">NASA's habitation module may “shape deep space travel for dozens of decades,” wrote Yahoo!

Bigelow Aerospace and NASA<br />
Execute NextSTEP Contract to Study B330 Utilization<br />
<br />
7/31/2015</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
----</div>
Via its NextSTEP contract, Bigelow Aerospace will demonstrate to NASA how B330 habitats can be used to support safe, affordable, and robust human spaceflight missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. As the name indicates, the B330 will provide 330 cubic meters of internal volume and each habitat can support a crew of up to six. Bigelow expandable habitats provide much greater volume than metallic structures, as well as enhanced protection against radiation and physical debris. Moreover, Bigelow habitats are lighter and take up substantially less rocket fairing space, and are far more affordable than traditional, rigid modules. These advantages make the B330 the ideal habitat to implement NASA’s beyond low Earth orbit (“LEO”) plans and will support the utilization of transportation systems such as the SLS and Orion. Additionally, the B330s, which will initially be deployed and tested in LEO, will be used as private sector space stations that will conduct a wide variety of commercial activities.<br />

<b>Disney Buys Lucasfilm for $4B, Targets Star Wars: Episode 7 for 2015</b></div>
...<br />
<br />
With the acquisition, Disney adds one of the world’s most enduring — and most profitable — sci-fi franchises to its ever-expanding stable. Disney, which has grown from humble animation company to massive media brand, successfully roped in Pixar in 2006 and bought Marvel Entertainment in 2009 (also for a $4 billion price tag). Buying Lucasfilm, Disney chairman Robert Iger said, was in line with the Marvel acquisition: The move essentially means Disney has cornered the market on superhero and sci-fi/fantasy films.<br />

<b>NASA Gets Big Boost in Final FY2016 Appropriations Bill</b><br />

Congress reached agreement on a FY2016 appropriations bill overnight. NASA will get $19.285 billion, $785 million more than the President's request and $1.285 billion more than FY2015.</div>
<div style="background-color: #eceff1; color: #282828; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 16px; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px;">

The bill and explanatory statement are posted on the website of the House Rules Committee.</div>
<div>

<div style="font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px;">
Among the big winners are planetary science, the exploration program (including the Space Launch System and Orion), and commercial crew. The commercial crew program is funded at the requested level of $1.244 billion, a win for the Obama Administration. </div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Planetary Science</strong>. Funding for planetary missions is $1.631 billion, an increase of $270 million above the request and $193 million more than FY2015. It includes $175 million for a mission to Jupiter's moon Europa, a priority of House Appropriations CJS subcommittee chairman Rep. John Culberson (R-TX). He added substantial funding for the mission in FY2013 ($75 million) and FY2014 ($80 million) although NASA did not request any. For FY2015, NASA requested $15 million and Congress provided $100 million. For this year, NASA requested $30 million. Not only did Congress add $145 million to that figure, but it directs NASA to build a lander as well as an orbiter. It reiterates that it wants the mission launched in 2022. NASA has been envisioning a later launch date to match the projected funding levels in the President's budget request.</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Exploration: </strong>The Space Launch System (SLS) gets $2.0 billion, $643.5 million more than the request and $300 million more than FY2015. The funding includes $85 million for an Enhanced Upper Stage (EUS) that is needed for all but the first flight of SLS. The first flight, Exploration Mission-1 (EM-1), will not carry a crew and will use an interim upper stage. EM-2 will carry a crew and the question was whether to spend funds to human-rate the interim upper stage or move forward expeditiously on the EUS, which will be human-rated. The decision was to move forward with EUS. The Orion spacecraft will receive $1.270 billion, $174 million more than the request and $76 million more than FY2014. Within Advanced Exploration Systems funding, Congress also directs NASA to spend no less than $55 million on a habitation module, which will be needed to augment living space for astronauts on lengthy trips beyond low Earth orbit. Congress wants a prototype habitation module no later than 2018. The final agreement also directs NASA to human-rate all systems prior to the EM-2 mission and "notes that additional funds above the request have been provided to address this untenable gap presented by NASA in its budget request." The "untenable gap" refers to NASA's current plan for a five year gap between the first test flight of SLS (EM-1), with an unoccupied Orion capsule, in 2018, and the second SLS launch (EM-2), with a crew, in 2023 (NASA insists it is still working toward a 2021 date for EM-2 as originally planned, but <a href="http://www.spacepolicyonline.com/news/first-crew-flight-of-orion-likely-to-slip-two-years-to-2023" style="color: #3c7294; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" target="_blank">does not use that </a>as its official baseline for the program).</div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; margin-bottom: 15px !important; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Commercial Crew</strong>. Congress provided full funding for the commercial crew program: $1.244 billion. The House-passed CJS appropriations bill would have cut that to $1.0 billion and the Senate Appropriations Committee approved $900 million. NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden has been relentless in his advocacy for full funding for commercial crew to enable the United States to end its reliance on Russia for taking crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS). Congress adopted the Senate Appropriations Committee's decision to move this program out of Exploration and into Space Operations.</div>

<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">In a previous post we mentioned the movie "Destination Moon" and the selection of landing site for the spacecraft and the paintings of </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Chesley Knight Bonestell,Jr..</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The landing site was far enough north that a view of Earth would be low enough on the horizon for a camera to see it in the same shot as the horizon. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Bonestell had been concerned that his painting of the Moon might have shown an unrealistic rendering of the lunar surface with too many cracks.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Before we actually went to the Moon with orbiters, landers, and humans, there had been much speculation about what we would actually find.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Rocky mountains, and dust bowls that would swallow us up. or maybe volcanic action and lava beds with lava tubes.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">And then you might want to practice for a landing you had never done before.</span></div>

<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<div>
<b>Harpalus</b> is a young lunar impact crater that lies on the Mare Frigoris, at the eastern edge of the Sinus Roris. To the southeast at the edge of the mare is the small crater Foucault, and to the northwest on the opposite edge is the walled plain named South.<br />
<br />
The rim of Harpalus is sharp-edged with little sign of wear or erosion. The wall is not perfectly circular, and has a few outward notches and protrusions, especially along the eastern half. It is surrounded by an outer rampart of ejecta, most notably towards the north, and is at the center of a small ray system. Due to its rays, Harpalus is mapped as part of the Copernican System.[1]<br />
<br />
The inner surface is terraced, and flows down to the floor. The interior wall is the least wide along the northern face, making the floor slightly offset in that direction. Near the midpoint is a system of low central ridges.</div>

The net-like cracks in the floor of Harpalus that Bonestell objected to, and many, many frequent critics also later objected to are actually on the Moon.<br />
<br />
But John Archer of the Movie said that the "cracked lava" lunar surface looks nothing like the surface of the Moon. And Bonestell, himself, after the 1969 landing said in reference to the cracked surface: "I tried to make it just as dramatic as I could, and, as a result, it looks ridiculous now. The Moon looks nothing like that".<br />
<br />
However, as many of us have pointed out, there are millions and millions of square miles of unexplored territory on the Moon, almost all of which have at least been photographed by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Consequently, the "rush to judgment" of many critics having seen only a small part of the lunar surface has, like everything else, failed to be true.<br />
<br />
Here is a shot of the lunar surface from LRO, both photo (M110919730L) and its context location are given (see URL). The photo was taken on the inside of Giordano Bruno crater, and Bruno was burned at the stake! Both locality and namesake therefore meeting a fiery end!<br />
<br />
It looks like Bonestell should be completely rehabilitated and given a pardon by many critics, who perhaps are more deserving of Bruno's ending than Bruno himself!<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">... </span>Bonestell did great work. I have his "Conquest of Space" litho framed on my wall. I always thought the cleverest thing he did in "Destination Moon" was to make the landing site in Harpalus so that the Earth would appear above the horizon. Had any other Hollywood-type person chosen a site near the equator, the Earth would never have been visible to that camera they had because it could not tilt to a high enough angle. The Earth always appears at the same spot in the lunar sky, apart from a small wobble around the spot, which most people don't realize. At the equator, it is directly overhead. At the poles, you can't see it since it would be below the horizon (unless you stepped away from the exact pole far enough, then you might see the limb, or a larger part of the Earth). Etc.<br />
<br />
One sees shots of Taurus-Littrow Valley where Apollo 17 landed, and some artist always sticks an overblown Earth above the mountains. Never can happen. The Earth is too high in the sky there to be seen in conjunction with the horizon. That's why Gene had to squat on bent knees when he took that picture of Jack Schmitt with the flagpole hanger pointing to the Earth (see fig. 58, p. 217, the last Figure in the Apollo 17 section in my 3D book-- you may not have the most recent edition as I have added a dozen of so more photos to the Apollo 17 section--see download URL immediately below).</div>

<b>Harpalus</b> is a young lunar impact crater that lies on the Mare Frigoris, at the eastern edge of the Sinus Roris. To the southeast at the edge of the mare is the small crater Foucault, and to the northwest on the opposite edge is the walled plain named South.<br /><br />The rim of Harpalus is sharp-edged with little sign of wear or erosion. The wall is not perfectly circular, and has a few outward notches and protrusions, especially along the eastern half. It is surrounded by an outer rampart of ejecta, most notably towards the north, and is at the center of a small ray system. Due to its rays, Harpalus is mapped as part of the Copernican System.[1]<br /><br />The inner surface is terraced, and flows down to the floor. The interior wall is the least wide along the northern face, making the floor slightly offset in that direction. Near the midpoint is a system of low central ridges.</div>

<b>Destination Moon (film)</b><div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
Destination Moon (aka Operation Moon) is a 1950 American Technicolor science fiction film independently produced by George Pal, directed by Irving Pichel, and starring John Archer, Warner Anderson, Tom Powers, and Dick Wesson. The film was distributed in the United States and UK by Eagle-Lion Classics.<br /><br />With Destination Moon, George Pal produced the first major U.S. science fiction film to deal with the dangers inherent in human space travel and the possible difficulties of America's first lunar mission landing on and safely returning from our only satellite.<br /><br />The film's premise is that U.S. private industry will mobilize, finance, and manufacture the first spacecraft to the Moon, while making the assumption that the U.S. government will then be forced to purchase or lease this new technology to remain the dominant power in space and on the Moon. Industrialists are shown cooperating to support the private venture.

<div>
Rocket Ship Galileo is a science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, published in 1947, about three teenagers who participate in a pioneering flight to the Moon. It was the first in the Heinlein juveniles, a long and successful series of science fiction novels published by Scribner's. The novel was originally envisioned as the first of a series of books called "Young Rocket Engineers". It was initially rejected by publishers, because going to the moon was "too far out".<sup><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Ship_Galileo#cite_note-1" style="background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap;" target="_blank">[1]</a></sup><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<br /><b>Plot summary</b></div>
<br />After World War II, three teenage boy rocket experimenters are recruited by one boy's uncle, Dr. Cargraves, a renowned physicist who had worked on the Manhattan Project, to refit a conventionally powered surplus "mail rocket". It is to be converted to run on a thorium nuclear pile which boils zinc as a propellant. They use a cleared area in a military weapons test range in the desert for their work, despite prying and sabotage attempts by unknown agents.<br /><br />Upon completion of the modifications, they stock the rocket, which they name the Galileo, and take off for the Moon, taking approximately 3 days to arrive. After establishing a semi-permanent structure based on a Quonset hut, they claim the moon on behalf of the United Nations.</div>

Chesley Knight Bonestell, Jr. (January 1, 1888 – June 11, 1986) was an American painter, designer and illustrator.[2] His paintings were a major influence on science fiction art and illustration, and he helped inspire the American space program. An early pioneering creator of astronomical art, along with the French astronomer-artist Lucien Rudaux, Bonestell was dubbed the "Father of Modern Space Art".</div>

Folks have been looking at the Moon and taking notes and enjoying the looking up,</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

Earth bound or something more that will inspire our imagination.</div>

<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">When sending humans back to the Moon becomes politically correct and something that catches the attention of the general public, the locations on the Moon need to be looked at for a continued occupation. Both polar regions have been suggested as well as places nearer to the equator.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Polar regions show promise for continued light and communication with Earth. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Equatorial regions will need to be able to survive two weeks of darkness.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Then their is the question of what kinds of lunar resources will be desirable.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">If a long range to continuous use of the Moon is expected will there be a plan that has guaranteed funding until occupation becomes self sufficient?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><b>NASA Spots the 'Great Pumpkin': Halloween Asteroid a Treat for Radar Astronomers</b></span></div>
October 21, 2015<br /><br />NASA scientists are tracking the upcoming Halloween flyby of asteroid 2015 TB145 with several optical observatories and the radar capabilities of the agency's Deep Space Network at Goldstone, California. The asteroid will fly past Earth at a safe distance slightly farther than the moon's orbit on Oct. 31 at 10:05 a.m. PDT (1:05 p.m. EDT). Scientists are treating the flyby of the estimated 1,300-foot-wide (400-meter) asteroid as a science target of opportunity, allowing instruments on "spacecraft Earth" to scan it during the close pass.<br /><br />Asteroid 2015 TB145 was discovered on Oct. 10, 2015, by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS-1 (Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System) on Haleakala, Maui, part of the NASA-funded Near-Earth Object Observation (NEOO) Program. According to the catalog of near-Earth objects (NEOs) kept by the Minor Planet Center, this is the closest currently known approach by an object this large until asteroid 1999 AN10, at about 2,600 feet (800 meters) in size, approached at about 1 lunar distance (238,000 miles from Earth) in August 2027.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
"The trajectory of 2015 TB145 is well understood," said Paul Chodas, manager of the Center for Near Earth Object Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. "At the point of closest approach, it will be no closer than about 300,000 miles -- 480,000 kilometers or 1.3 lunar distances. Even though that is relatively close by celestial standards, it is expected to be fairly faint, so night-sky Earth observers would need at least a small telescope to view it."<br /><br />The gravitational influence of the asteroid is so small it will have no detectable effect on the moon or anything here on Earth, including our planet's tides or tectonic plates.<div>

(CNN) -- Don't look now, but an asteroid is heading our way on Halloween.<br /><br />On the other hand, go ahead and look. As it misses Earth by about 300,000 miles (slightly farther away than the moon), the asteroid, named 2015 TB145, will be visible to those with good telescopes -- and NASA, which announced the discovery.<br /><br />Calling it "one of the best radar targets of the year," a Jet Propulsion Laboratory report on the asteroid said that "the flyby presents a truly outstanding scientific opportunity to study the physical properties of this object."<br /><br />The asteroid will be traveling through Orion on October 30-31.<br /><br />It's a good thing it will miss, though. The asteroid is estimated to be 300 to 600 meters wide and traveling at 78,000 mph. By comparison, the meteorite that exploded in the sky over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013 was about 20 meters wide.</div>

<b>Goldstone Radar Observations Planning: 2009 FD and 2015 TB145</b><pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="15091505524291da_Background" style="color: black;">...</a></pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2015 TB145
2015 TB145 was discovered on 2015 Oct 10 by the Pan-STARRS I survey. The object will approach the Earth
within 0.00326 au (1.3 Lunar distances or about 490 000 km) on 2015 Oct 31 at about 17:00 UT (10 AM PDT).
The asteroid is in an extremely eccentric (~0.86) and
high inclination (~40 deg) orbit. It has a Tisserand parameter of 2.937 hinting that it may be
cometary in nature. Its absolute magnitude of 19.8 indicates that its diameter is probably within a factor of two
of 320 meters. At closest approach the SNRs/run at DSS-14 are expected to be over 20000, so this should
be one of the best radar targets of the year. We hope to obtain images with a range resolution as high
as 2 m/pixel using DSS-13 to transmit and Green Bank (and possibly Arecibo) to receive. The flyby presents
a truly outstanding scientific opportunity to study the physical properties of this object.
The encounter velocity is 35 km/s, which is unusually high.
This is the closest approach by a known object this large until 1999 AN10 approaches within 1 lunar distance
in August 2027. The last approach closer than this by an object with H < 20 was by 2004 XP14 in July 2006 at
1.1 lunar distances.

(CNN)If you've read or seen "<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/19/entertainment/matt-damon-mars-nasa-feat/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">The Martian</a>," you know that getting humans safely to Mars and back will be a gargantuan task.<br /><br />Unlike a mission to the moon, which can be done in three or four days, a journey to Mars -- some 140 million miles away -- could take more than six months each way. For a trip that long, astronauts would need to set up a network of supply depots in deep space to refuel their spacecraft.<br /><br />But how? As crazy as it sounds, one answer is -- asteroid mining.<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: 12.8px;">

The Martian is good and having seen the movie first was enjoyable..</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
It was fun seeing more detail in the book and the 3D imaging in the Movie was helpful as well.</div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8px;">
I hope we get as much detail from real missions to the Moon and Mars, should I live that long. :-)</div>

<b style="font-size: 12.8px;">5 Big Differences Between The Martian Book And The Movie</b></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">If you're looking for a good time at the movies, The Martian is a steely eyed missile man of entertainment. With a nearly record breaking opening for the first weekend in October, the Ridley Scott directed / Drew Goddard written adaptation of Andy Weir's best-selling novel is pretty faithful to the text. But despite Mark Watney's smart-assed humor and scientific prowess still making the grade, along with the scores of other details most inferior adaptations would forget, there are still five major changes that the film adaptation has made. While these changes don't ruin The Martian at all, they are still big enough that they should be discussed.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">Ray Bradbury is a modern cultural treasure. His disarming simplicity of style underlies a towering body of work unmatched in metaphorical power by any other American storyteller. And here, presented in a new trade edition, are thirty-two of his most famous tales--prime examples of the poignant and mysterious poetry which Bradbury uniquely uncovers in the depths of the human soul, the otherwordly portraits of outre fascination which spring from the canvas of one of the centurys great men of imagination. From a lonely coastal lighthouse to a sixty-million-year-old safari, from the pouring rain of Venus to the ominous silence of a murder scene, Ray Bradbury is our sure-handed guide not only to surprising and outrageous manifestations of the future, but also to the wonders of the present that we could never have imagined on our own.</span></div>

<div>
<div>
I am still waiting for a copy of, "The Martian: A Novel" to arrive by snail mail. :-)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have received heads up notes about "The Martian" and how 20th Century Fox version might have been entertaining but strayed some from good science. Not having read the book yet, I don't have any first hand information how much Andy Weir followed scientific rigor. His pre-release interviews admits to a few slights for entertainment license so thought I would ask the Internet for some other opinions.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hmmm, you may find some of the reports of interest.</div>

<div>
What I am interested in is seeing what might interest folks that would help in developing the Moon in preparation for being <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacefaring" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Spacefaring </a></div>
<div>
Do we want to look in on how we can engineer the problem or look for an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fatalities_at_the_Indianapolis_Motor_Speedway" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Indy 500</a> car crash.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It wasn't long after Apollo 11 landing that the audience interest dropped off.</div>
<div>
Come<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_13" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"> Apollo 13</a> problem and much interest. </div>
<div>
Will they make it back, will they be lost, tune in for the 6 o'clock news.</div>
<div>
Much like the Saturday Matinee's I attended as a kid, will<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_film" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"> Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon</a> save the world?</div>

Other popular clichés included the heroine or hero trapped in a burning building, being trampled by horses, knocked unconscious in a car as it goes over a cliff, crashing in an airplane, and watching as the burning fuse of a nearby bundle of dynamite sparked and sputtered its way towards the deadly explosive (at the beginning of the next chapter the endangered character usually simply got up and walked away with only minor scrapes).

<b>Book to Screen: ‘The Martian’ Leaves Science on the Page and Goes for Thrills on Screen</b><br />
<br />
<div>
BY MATT GOLDBERG<br />
<br />
Andy Weir’s self-published novel The Martian became a huge bestseller, and it was a big hit at the box office this weekend. The film also went over big with critics, and is primed to be a potential player in this year’s Oscar race. But for director Ridley Scott and screenwriter Drew Goddard to translate Weir’s book to the big screen, how much did they have to lose, and what did they choose to keep?<br />
<br />
Looking at the skeleton of the story, Goddard kept Weir’s book intact. It’s a movie where there’s plenty of subtraction, especially where Mark Watney’s various duties and missions are concerned (more on that later), but Goddard basically condensed the narrative to fit a 130-minute runtime. However, there are no radical changes. Just subtraction.<br />
<br />
The biggest removal comes in the third act when in the book, Watney is driving to the Ares IV landing site, and because he accidentally shorted out his communications, he doesn’t know that a storm is coming to make his journey even more difficult. Goddard removes all of this. Watney never shorts out his communications array, and there’s never a dust storm to avoid on the way to Schiaparelli. It’s the smoothest sailing he encounters until he has to launch himself off the planet.<br />

<b>5 Big Differences Between The Martian Book And The Movie</b></div>
BY MIKE REYES<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you're looking for a good time at the movies, The Martian is a steely eyed missile man of entertainment. With a nearly record breaking opening for the first weekend in October, the Ridley Scott directed / Drew Goddard written adaptation of Andy Weir's best-selling novel is pretty faithful to the text. But despite Mark Watney's smart-assed humor and scientific prowess still making the grade, along with the scores of other details most inferior adaptations would forget, there are still five major changes that the film adaptation has made. While these changes don't ruin The Martian at all, they are still big enough that they should be discussed.<br />

<b>Does 'The Martian' Movie Do the Book Justice? Yes. Yes, It Does</b><br />
<br />
Movies adapted from successful books don't always capture the magic of the original text — and the calculation- and science-heavy story of "The Martian" seems a particularly tough customer — but the upcoming film does a surprisingly good job conjuring the book's spirit. The new movie, opening Friday, trades some of the book's nonstop danger for glorious Martian vistas and more NASA at work, and I'm not complaining.<br />
<br />
As a quick note, this article doesn't spoil major plot points but does discuss the major themes of the book and movie.<br />
<br />
The movie "The Martian," is based on Andy Weir's book of the same name, and tells the story of an astronaut who is accidentally left behind on Mars and must struggle to survive. When watching "The Martian," all I could think was that the movie version of protagonist Mark Watney had it easy. Sure, almost everything he does goes sideways and presents a new challenge for him to ponder, calculate and build his way out of. But there are a lot of major problems presented in the book that movie-Watney doesn't encounter while stranded on Mars, and several complicated, clever solutions he never has to devise.

Ridley Scott’s adaptation of “The Martian” stays rather true to the novel that inspired the movie. But for you fans of the book about an astronaut stranded on Mars, you may still be wondering about some parts of the book that were altered for the movie.<br />

When Andy Weir published his sci-fi novel "The Martian," readers praised his <a href="http://www.techinsider.io/how-andy-weirs-the-martian-became-so-successful-2015-6" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">attention to detail and scientific accuracy</a>. </div>
<div>
It's arguably the reason the book became a bestseller and, now, a blockbuster movie.</div>

<b>Mars to Stay</b> missions propose astronauts sent to Mars for the first time should intend to stay. Unused emergency return vehicles would be recycled into settlement construction as soon as the habitability of Mars becomes evident to the initial pioneers. Mars to Stay missions are advocated both to reduce cost and to ensure permanent settlement of Mars. Among many notable Mars to Stay advocates, former Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin has been particularly outspoken, suggesting in numerous forums "Forget the Moon, Let’s Head to Mars!"[1] and, in June 2013, Aldrin promoted a manned mission "to homestead Mars and become a two-planet species."[2] In August 2015, Aldrin, in association with the Florida Institute of Technology, presented a "master plan", for NASA consideration, for astronauts, with a "tour of duty of ten years", to colonize Mars before the year 2040.[3] The Mars Underground, Mars Homestead Foundation, Mars One, and Mars Artists Community advocacy groups and business organizations have also adopted Mars to Stay policy initiatives.[4]<br />
<br />
The earliest formal outline of a Mars to Stay mission architecture was given at the Case for Mars VI Workshop in 1996, during a presentation by George Herbert titled "One Way to Mars."<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_to_Stay#cite_note-5" style="background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; color: #0b0080; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: super; white-space: nowrap;" target="_blank">[5]</a></div>

The goal instead was to visit an asteroid in the 2020s, and then send a crew to Mars in the 2030s - with no mission to another destination in between.<br />
<br />
Recently, Nasa revealed how they plan to do the asteroid mission - by picking up a boulder from a larger asteroid, placing it in lunar orbit, and having astronauts go and visit.<br />
<br />
But Mr Berger says that Nasa has been ‘quietly’ considering going back to the moon before going to Mars.<br />
<br />
He said that Nasa is, ‘in internal studies, reconsidering the moon, including the lunar surface, for human activities as a significant stepping stone to Mars.’<br />
<br />
He continued: ‘William Gerstenmaier, the chief of human exploration for Nasa, does not see the existing plan of a direct, 900-day mission to the red planet as achievable.’<br />
<br />
In a tweet Nasa’s Head of Communications, David Weaver, seemingly quashed the significance of the news, saying: ‘Nothing new about #NASA plan to use Moon on #JourneyToMars.’<br />
<br />
However, Mr Berger says it is significant, as the agency had previously shied away from saying it was returning to the moon.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">I have been looking at movie trailers for "The Martian" and decided to go to the movies.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I live in the dark ages and had never gone to a movie in "3D". </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Probably to cheap to pay for glasses.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I waited for the previous showing to finish and folks to file out. The lights came on and I was the first one in. A bit early as the cleaning crew came in and proceeded to fill a very large trash can with popcorn and drink containers and other trash. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Talked with them while standing out of the way. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
October 2, 2015 was the opening weekend and it seems some of the relatives of the author, Andy Weir, had seen the movie earlier.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
(<a href="http://www.sandia.gov/locations/livermore_california.html" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory</a> is just over the hill from Tracy and he had programmed at Sandia.)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
The theater's previews were shown in ear splitting sound level that made me wish I had brought ear plugs and thought I would go deaf for a whole movie. I was very pleasantly surprised when "The Martian" started and everything was at an appropriate sound level for the action being portrayed and the "3D" viewing was like we were there for real. No silly jumping out of a screen. Nice and added to the realism.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Having watched a number of the trailers and YouTube interviews I appreciated, and expected to see the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_tape" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Duck Tape</a> and<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacGyver" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank"> MacGyver</a>, can do attitude. I was not disappointed. I laughed at one liners, had tears in my eyes at unexpected moments, and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
No matter the Martian wind would probably not been able to blow things around at the start of the movie, I am sure a real mission would have enough of its own problems to test ones survival instincts. It was interesting to see how Mark Watney handled his.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
I also appreciated how the movie managed to have enough camera monitors to provide statistical and personal information to update the full movie camera presentation.</div>

I had not read the book so have ordered a used one. Watching the YouTube interviews we get to see the movie teaser trailer and here about how he managed to get published. That in itself was enlightening. A lot of work, writing, while working, and developing a website and going finally to post the book on line in several forms and then posting to Amazon <a href="https://kdp.amazon.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Kindle Direct Publishing.</a></div>

There has been some question as to whether NASA has taken advantage or made announcements about water on Mars to coincide with the movie release. I will let you check out the links that follow and make your own opinion.</div>

Mars has held a central place in human imagination and culture for millennia. Ancients marveled at its red color and the brightness that waxed and waned in cycles over the years. Early observations through telescopes led some to speculate that the planet was covered with canals that its inhabitants used for transportation and commerce. In “The War of the Worlds”, the writer H.G. Wells posited a Martian culture that would attempt to conquer Earth. In 1938, Orson Welles panicked listeners who thought they were listening to a news broadcast rather than his radio adaptation of Wells’s novel.<br /><br />The real story of humans and Mars is a little more prosaic but no less fascinating. Telescopes turned the bright red dot in the sky into a fuzzy, mottled disk that gave rise to those daydreams of canals. Just 50 years ago, the first photograph of Mars from a passing spacecraft appeared to show a hazy atmosphere. Now decades of exploration on the planet itself has shown it to be a world that once had open water, an essential ingredient for life.<br /><br />The fascination hasn’t waned, even in the Internet Age. A former computer programmer named Andy Weir, who enjoyed writing for its own sake and posted fiction to his blog, started a serial about a NASA astronaut stranded on Mars. The popularity ultimately led him to turn it into a successful novel, “The Martian”, which has been made into a movie that will be released in October 2015.<br /><br />“The Martian” merges the fictional and factual narratives about Mars, building upon the work NASA and others have done exploring Mars and moving it forward into the 2030s, when NASA astronauts are regularly traveling to Mars and living on the surface to explore. Although the action takes place 20 years in the future, NASA is already developing many of the technologies that appear in the film.<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 22.4px;">...</span></div>

Imagine being inadvertently left for dead on Mars, completely alone and abandoned by your crew, with nothing but your wits and a scant amount of precious supplies to keep you alive.<br /><br />That’s the enthralling premise of the best-selling science-fiction survival novel and soon-to-be released motion picture, “The Martian,” scheduled to run in theaters nationwide on Oct. 2.<br /><br />Amidst a whirlwind media blitz, the book’s author, Andy Weir, took time to visit the Laboratory on Wednesday, entertaining a packed house of nearly 400 Lab employees and special guests with his wit, vast and varied scientific knowledge and tales of his sudden rise to stardom.<br /><br />“It’s kind of a homecoming,” Weir said. “It’s special for me because it’s where I grew up.”</div>

Adam Savage welcomes author Andy Weir to The Talking Room! Andy wrote 'The Martian', the story of an astronaut stranded on Mars--it's a book we can't recommend enough. Adam and Andy talk about the research that went into writing the book, the portrayal of astronauts in fiction, and the upcoming film adaptation!<br /><br />Thanks to Andy Weir!

The Earl of Kimberly sent a note about work being done to make it possible to freeze CO2 out of coal fired electric plants exhaust.</div>

Just seen a claim that a new process for freezing power station exhaust can remove 99% of the CO2. Now that would make a difference, so we could have more time to develop solar and wind power and high grade energy storage and avoid the nuclear route.<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;"> </span></span></div>

I read the article and watched the video. When I saw the dry ice being screw/auger out of the cryo freezer it made me think of what we could use on the Moon or Mars when we start extracting gasses.</div>
<div>

<div>
<br />
<div>
And of course one idea leads to another. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wondered how you might get the many ideas being generated to be passed around and help in a cross pollination effort to make devices for use on the Moon and Mars.</div>
<div>
Maybe a website that is promoting a mixed bag of plans for going to the Moon.</div>

<b>DELUSIONS OF SPACE ENTHUSIASTS</b></div>
<div>
November 1, 2006 in the Read section</div>
<div>
<br />
BY NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON<br />
<br />
FROM NATURAL HISTORY MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER 2006</div>
<div>
<br />
Human ingenuity seldom fails to improve on the fruits of human invention. Whatever may have dazzled everyone on its debut is almost guaranteed to be superseded and, someday, to look quaint.<br />
<br />
In 2000 B.C. a pair of ice skates made of polished animal bone and leather thongs was a transportation breakthrough. In 1610 Galileo's eight-power telescope was an astonishing tool of detection, capable of giving the senators of Venice a sneak peek at hostile ships before they could enter the lagoon. In 1887 the one-horsepower Benz Patent Motorwagen was the first commercially produced car powered by an internal combustion engine. In 1946 the thirty-ton, showroom-size ENIAC, with its 18,000 vacuum tubes and 6,000 manual switches, pioneered electronic computing. Today you can glide across roadways on in-line skates, gaze at images of faraway galaxies brought to you by the Hubble Space Telescope, cruise the autobahn in a 600-horsepower roadster, and carry your three-pound laptop to an outdoor cafe.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, such advances don't just fall from the sky. Clever people think them up. Problem is, to turn a clever idea into reality, somebody has to write the check. And when market forces shift, those somebodies may lose interest and the checks may stop coming. If computer companies had stopped innovating in 1978, your desk might still sport a hundred-pound IBM 5110. If communications companies had stopped innovating in 1973, you might still be schlepping a two-pound, nine-inch-long cell phone. And if in 1968 the U.S. space industry had stopped developing bigger and better rockets to launch humans beyond the Moon, we'd never have surpassed the Saturn V rocket.<br />
<br />
Oops!<br />
<br />
Sorry about that. We haven't surpassed the Saturn V. The largest, most powerful rocket ever flown by anybody, ever, the thirty-six-story-tall Saturn V was the first and only rocket to launch people from Earth to someplace else in the universe. It enabled every Apollo mission to the Moon from 1969 through 1972, as well as the 1973 launch of Skylab 1, the first U.S. space station<br />
Inspired in part by the successes of the Saturn V and the momentum of the Apollo program, visionaries of the day foretold a future that never came to be: space habitats, Moon bases, and Mars colonies up and running by the 1990s. But funding for the Saturn V evaporated as the Moon missions wound down. Additional production runs were canceled, the manufacturers' specialized machine tools were destroyed, and skilled personnel had to find work on other projects. Today U.S. engineers can't even build a Saturn V clone.<br />
<br />
What cultural forces froze the Saturn V rocket in time and space? What misconceptions led to the gap between expectation and reality?</div>
<div>

<div>
Soothsaying tends to come in two flavors: doubt and delirium. It was doubt that led skeptics to declare that the atom would never be split, the sound barrier would never be broken, and people would never want or need computers in their homes. But in the case of the Saturn V rocket, it was delirium that misled futurists into assuming the Saturn V was an auspicious beginning—never considering that it could, instead, be an end.<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Jack: Sure, to work on some fool experiment for the government.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Tom: Right! Think of all the energy out there. Just burning down.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">
Tom: Food! Don't you see that if this gadget, as you call it, works we will be able to make anything, just from the energy out there. </div>

The project is located on land managed by the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM), about six miles north of the community of Desert Center. Desert Sunlight provides enough energy to serve the needs of about 160,000 average California homes, displacing approximately 300,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year—the equivalent of taking about 60,000 cars off the road.</span><br />

Phase I SBIR proposals are very early stage concepts that may or may not mature into actual systems.
