Beaming power from Space

Well it seems that an experiment for beaming power back from Space could benefit from investment from the US in their Science drive investment.   Read here.

Hopefully it will get going as beaming power sounds quite interesting although I do actually wonder how much will be lost in the transmission.    Bearing in mind we [...]

Long term objectives – Immortality

Finally the final frontier.

● Immortality

The one we have been trying for centuries to achieve.  Over the centuries our best scientific minds have been working on an elixir to achieve this end.   Magicians and religious minds have been investigating and praying for the answer.  So far, to the best of my knowledge, we have [...]

Long term objectives – Space Habitats

● Developing habitats for deep space, either our solar system or beyond

Whether we develop FTL travel or not eventually we will want to travel into space in a similar way to the pilgrims leaving for the New World.  Just casting off and going out there.    FTL travel will enable our colonies to stay [...]

Long term objectives – FTL Travel

Now we have quickly looked at the short term objectives it’s time to look at the long term ones.

● Developing Faster Than Light travel and get out there

Plenty of theories are out there.    I have no idea which one will give us the best way to start our exploration of space but [...]

Short term objectives – Society Changes

● Look at the impact on our society of changes such as fewer menial jobs

Whenever there is change there is fear.  People do not like it and thus we must look ahead and try and alleviate these issues.

I foresee several issues with the objectives I have listed.

Improving health care will mean [...]

Short term objectives – Leadership

We now have the technology to allow each of us more involvement in the political process.

● Introduce true leadership using technology and get rid of professional politicians

The last decade has shown us how quickly corrupt politicians can change our way of life.     Why do we need to stick to an archaic solution in [...]

Short term objectives – Robots

Our time is precious. We have so little of it and certainly not enough to spend doing what we do not want to be doing. We need to fix this.

● Develop robots to do our menial tasks

Now who would not want to never have to work again? I certainly would like the [...]

Short term objectives – Social Justice

This will be one of the more interesting ones as we all have different ideas on what the answer is.

● Sort out our social system

I have a very simple rule that I like to use to work out if something is fair or not. Simply remove any identifying information and substitute another [...]

Short term objectives – Land Use

A very emotive objective this one.

● Look at our use of land space

Personally I think the way we utilise land is outdated. We need to acknowledge property rights and land title but at the same time we need to recognise that we are growing in number and we need living room.

Personally [...]

Short term objectives – Transport

Now the most difficult short term objective in my opinion.

● Look at our transport facilities

In the really short term there is much we can do to improve our transport situation and none of it seems to go down well with the Luddites and the politicians.

What we really need are teleporters but [...]
