People We Need
-Proverbs 29:18
This page is dedicated to putting a human existance into space. Not only humans, but all of life! Minus black flies, bees, horseflies, flies of all kinds, and mosquitoes.This is not going to be easy, and what is happening to this planet is not making it easier. No we are not expecting aliens to give us aid. No,we will not take your money and run, although we will need cash in some form(but not out of your wallet, unless you give it to us. If and when we build ships, we can probably make money by carting around satellites for people. I am pretty sure there is a long list of satellites that are backed up because it is wither too slow or . Just too expensive to launch with NASA. I admit this is a completely selfish mission, and we will not try to help EVERYONE on the planet, we will leave them in NASA's We know what we can do, and we know what technology we will use.(actually, most of it has already been created, just no-one uses it.) We are no super-genius's, just people with a tad of common sense, and though you may doubt it, realism. We also intend to do this as safely as possible. I have many designs, but I am afraid that we may not be able to post too many pictures here, as space is limited. Please send me any e-mail you want, questions, gaps in our plans, criticism, flame mail. If you have any questions about our technology, ethics, or methods, e-mail me. We are dumping trash everywhere. In places where logging is endorsed, homes for generations to come of squirrels and birds are being destroyed. Confused animals become easy targets for predators. By farming we alter the face of the earth altogether. Even now, a unique species is being rubbed out of existence. We as a people have had good ideas. But these ideas are answers to the wrong questions. The question should be: where can we get food and power without damaging the environment? instead of where can we get food and power easily. WE as a people, we as a race, are going to have to work hard,and work fast. Because, once we take the starting cash, we will start producing artificial diamonds, sell them for cheap, get a huge market for cutting jewlry, and then WHAM! Payback!
MISSION PROFILE:
Build ships, actually get in to space. The main problems here is the money and materials to build them. The ships should be cheap to run, safe, and able to repeatedly carry fairly large payloads to the moon.
Go to the moon. This is a bit of a change, but I consider it a good idea. On the moon, we can set up a preliminary base, and build the space station. The Prospector probe just about confirmed the existence of water on the moon, and that solves a major problem. Water is going to keep us alive, and will feed us, clothe us(wow), give us oxygen, and be around for us to drink. Algae can grow in water. This prompts us to use algae as a food source because some types of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) are 65% protein and are completely digestible. We can take the considerable color out of the algae using alcohol.( People eat a lot of green-colored things, but bread and chicken are usually not some of them)So now, we have a colorless, tasteless, and odorless powder. So what magic do we do to take this completely unpalatable powder and turn it into a simmering chicken? Simple. We use Escherichia Coli. Most strains of this bacteria are harmless, but most of the strains that get in us are harmful. So, we take this harmless bacteria, genetically modify it (it is very much easier to genetically engineer a cell without a nucleus than one with one.) to produce "flavanoids" that give something its given texture smell and taste. This gives us a extremely healthy chicken substitute that is indistinguishable from the real thing. This leaves us with some byproducts, like dead algae and unusable mutant strains. So, we go to aquaculture. This is growing seaweed to feed water "grazers" like crabs and conchs and lobsters. After they die, we can eat those, to some extent. Also, we can use the husks and waste products from processing food to make fish food, which then goes into a fish, and the fish becomes human food. The oysters and conchs produce pearls ($$$CASH$$$)that we can trade with earth with as well as diamonds and other valuable crystals and objects for supplies and resources. The algae also produce massive amounts of oxygen. 6 liters of algae enriched water would be able to keep you alive indefinately, although your muscles would atrophy, and you would eventually go insane. The moonbase, nicknamed Avallon, would build and prepare the space station and colony ships, and still be close enough to Earth to get necessary supplies, like medicine or plastic, fairly easily. My plan is to send ships there carrying pre-made buildings and equipment, and then colonists. The colony will be built a bit at a time as ships arrive from earth, and then more quickly as it becomes more self-sufficient.
There needn't be a really ordered procedure to the moon base, because it isn't really more than 3 days away from earth, at most. A lot of materials can be moved fairly quickly. For Mars, however, with a travel time of somewhere between 6 months and 2 years, every 2 years, the colony will have to be set up in a specific fashion.
Once we have a good, firm foothold, and we have started to build the colony, things will start slowing down. We can start slowly building our colony, Harmony, if you don't mind, up to a massive underground "lithotropolis". That literally means, "rock city". We build underground as to leave the surface basically pristine. With all of our technology at our disposal at that time, we could theoretically house up to a TRILLION people on mars. The migration to mars will only be about 1000 people. It would mena that there would have to be a LOT of population growth involved in colonization. It's been history that on the fronteir, population growth rates have been as high as 8%. Some have been higher. With increased life span, lower fatality rates, and (hopefully) lower crime rates, cleaner atmosphere, and lesser gravity and radiation ( did you know that it's gravity and ultraviolet radiation that cause wrinkles to form?) we can easily get a population growth rate that high. Heck, there's the whole darn universe to go to. We won't fill it in a trillion years, hopefully. One thing that might reduce crime is a camera in every room . If we make it so that the data is only available to judges and the Overlord and the Emperor, we can actually get this to work. Mars itself has a lot of mysteries that will be hard to solve in themselves.
Housing in Harmony city will be designed around a large circle. In the center is heating systems, life support, etcetera. Rooms for the residents are off to the sides. The waste disposal unit is also in the central control unit. In between each cirle is the wiring, power relays, and all that other junk.
This is the mission profile, sorta an outline for the mission. We are currently in stage 1. There is no deadline, it takes however long it takes. Hopefully sometime before 2050, because by then I'll be old and senile. You might be thinking by now that I'm young and senile, but I'm not.
The above page will not be mentioned in any lawsuit. Any similarities between this page and any other is merely a coincidence or of no ill intent. We do take ideas from outside sources, any scientist does, but if you are the creator of that information, we will credit you to those ideas. If we take credit for something that someone else invented first, it is accidental, and great minds think alike.
