for all mankind, another crappy mooee from 1989
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097372/ this is for the ******s in america who like to think they achieved something by depleting so many human resources into such an arsewank of a project consisting in going off to the moon a la wallace n grommit but without the charm only to find that the place is such a sad-ass wank of a place you could never believe. loads of loads of the same homogenous extremely boring place the ''adventurous astronauts'' find themselves with, while one of the sad ******s exclaims ''it is in man's nature to explore'' as he jumps from one nothingy part of the moon to the next. how pathetic and sad. a treausre for american to, erm, treasure. congratulations. this is the opposite of riding the giants that surf mooee i saw, this is the anti-sensual experience par-excellence. it does indeed quote that stupid ****** kennedy pleasing it's country's right wing wishes of nihilism with his great speech, which goes something like this: '' it is true and truer than it be, that in this decade, i promise that we shall head off into a certain vacuum and in that vacuum we shall wank, for as the great soothsayer did say, in vacuums one doth not need no vacuum cleaners if one requires wanking getting done''. for the technofile moronic crowd that as adolescents are fans of star trek, in college maths geeks and in old age hope to wank their life away in some space probe in a life-long experimental attempt at getting their dicks perpetually horizontal. |

Brad knows where the shift key is, and occasionally punctuates. |

Well, if the expenditure of resources shortens your live by even one minute it was all worth it. |

for all mankind, another crappy mooee from 1989
The United States completed the first lunar expedition after being set
on this course by John F. Kennedy in response to a missile gap that the American public percieved following the Soviet launch of Sputnik in 1957 and America's failed attempts to launch Vanguard as part of the IGY. A month after Kennedy was shot, in December 1963, Lyndon Johnson and Robert McNamara sat in the Oval Office and slashed the visionary far reaching programs initiated by the slain President, such as nuclear propulsion and a real Mars expedition by 1975, and lunar bases by 1970, and reduced Kennedy's 'exploring the vast new ocean of space' to 'Man on the Moon.' Subsequent Presidents reduced this to 'Man in Space' At the same time the Russians, who had kicked America's ass up to that point started having significant difficulties following the internal disruption of the most capable technical teams and the arrest of key scientists. Further, the focus of the American media shifted from hard science and serious reporting of space developments in major news outlet to fictional outlets which reduced the topic to the sorts of fluff you accept as the defining role of space travel. That is a whole host of shallow science fiction such as Lost in Space and Star Trek became the standard bearer of space travel during this period shaping the opinions of millions toward the space agency, and defining space travel just as Maxwell Smart and Jim Phelps became the standard bearers of spying following the downing of Gary Powers and his U2 Spy Plane paraded through Gorky Park shaing the opinion of millions toward the recently disclosed CIA and defining the role of the agency is the most positive of terms for most Americans. In short, taken as a whole, it could be argued that someone in America took Eisenhower's concerns of the 1950s seriously that overspending in the 'desert' of space could detract from America's more serious commitments while publicizing highly classified strategic weapons technology. So, they decided that despite the intense interest and support of the American public in space travel as outlined by Kennedy in the 1960 election,, that American dollars wouldn't be taken from more serious geopolitical concerns like Vietnam, and wasted on space. This is why Eisenhower refused to let the Academy of Science provide strategic direction for the new agency, and put the Vice President in charge of it instead. Your comments are reflective of the sort of attitude 50 years of social engineering has produced, and when widespread enough will result in the end of civilian space programs altogether and the end of even man in space. So, you will be gratified to find your opinions being acted upon, and money being saved, but you will not have missed the huge benefits space travel could provide humanity because your epistimology has been shaped by 50 years of infowar on this subject. So, it is difficult to get your mind around what is being lost. To you and most everyone else it will have been a failed experiment similar to the failure of the dirigible as a viable passenger or cargo air carrier. A technology that never worked. And those who envision a return of space travel will be viewed as those sorts of people who enthusiastically await the return of the airship. But things could have been quite different, had we approached things a little differently and more honestly, without recourse to secret operations. Fact is, as the cost of momentum delivered to a payload falls the abilty to do things in the solar system grows. And since the Earth's surface holds a fixed place relative to other places in the solar system in terms of momentum, we can predict the development of space travel on this basis. The cost of momentum is to space travel what the cost per feature is to integrated circuits. And lowering this fundamental cost allows exponential expansion of space travel technology. Unfortunately, lowering costs and making rocket and nuclear technologies generally available flies in the face of missile proliferation and nuclear proliferation goals - and so, has not occurred in the present age. Since space travel transcends the Earth, the development of space travel technology affects everyone on the Earth equally. It becomes a unifying technical element that joins other unifying elements in what some call the Omega point - or ultimate union of human culture on Earth. 1950s - Technology - single stage/2 stage liquid fueled rocket STEP 1: High momentum cost = small suborbital payloads Practical Consequence: Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Tactical Result: All Earth a Battlefield Political Fallout: End of world wars and call for world peace Social Effect: A movement toward a world without warfare. 1960s - Technology - 3 stage/ 4 stage liquid fueled rocket STEP 2: Slightly lower momentum cost = small orbiting payloads Practical Consequence: Infosat= weather, spy, communication, navigation Tactical Result: Global Commerce/Internet Political Fallout: Global business opportunities, Social Effect: A movement toward a single global business structure 1970s - Technology - Large 3 stage / 4 stage liquid fueled rocket STEP 3: Lower momentum cost = moderate lunar payloads Practical Consequence: Man in Space/Man on the Moon Tactical Result: Photo of Earth floating in Space Political Fallout: Environmental Movement Social Effect: A movement toward a single global civil legal code At this point, all progress ended, and the various assets developed over this period have been appropriated by intelligence and military operations in the United States, while non US assets have undergone systematic decimation and new developments have either been attacked politically or had very bad luck in carrying out their programs while being systematically ignored by the mainstream press. Clearly had adequate funding been forthcoming and NASA and other agencies operated unimpeded with adequate strategic direction, building on earlier developments, and eventually joining forces - the latter quarter of the 20th century would have been quite different. 1980s - Technology - Very large 3 stage / 4 stage fully reusable liquid fueled rockets STEP 4: Much lower momentum cost = heavy lunar payloads/moderate interplanetary Practical Consequence: Global wireless internet/powernet & Space colonies Tactical Result: Integrated global political and economic systems, world as one place Political Fallout: One world movement Social Effect: The emergence of a unified global religion based on insights of space travellers NOTE: Edgar Mitchell speaks of his religious conversion on his return from the moon, and founded the Noetic Institute to further this religious insight. This has been dismissed by mainstream media, but such insights would likely grow as the number of people and their range of activities across the solar system grew. 1990s - Technology - Nuclear Pulse - Nuclear Thermal - Nuclear Electric - rockets STEP 5: Dramatically lower momentum costs = space commerce Practical Consequence: Space industry Tactical Result: The conversion of Earth to a residential park Political Fallout: Global prosperity on an unprecedented scale, reduction of environmental pollution to zero. Social Effect: The emergence of a Utopian Age 2000s - Technology - Laser Sustained Detonation powered by solar powersats STEP 6: Space Access Practical Consequence: Movement of humanity off-world in large numbers Tactical Result: The conversion of Earth to an environmentally protected reserve Political Fallout: Preservation of Earth's biosphere for stuy, expansion of humanity across the solar system Social Effect: The golden age of interplanetary travel. 2010s - Technology Nantotechnology/Laser Light Sail STEP 7: Early interstellar Practical Consequence: Expansion of off-world movement beyond the planets Tactical Result: Protection of nature 'as-is' as the demands of industrial humanity take an ever diminishing bite out of an exponetialy growing resource, while population growth rates decline due to higher incomes Political Fallout: Development of individually responsible 'emergent systems' appropriate to a far flung diverse population, and the decline of centralized methods of control Social Effect; The establishment of interstellar tribalism - recreating the social melieu of early pre-industrial tribal cultures, but with the ethical and moral underpinnings of modern culture. At this point we enter a stable era of continuous growth across the cosmos that will likely last thousands if not hundreds of thousands of years. 2500s or later - Gravitivc Technologies (conjectural) STEP 8: Late interstellar Practical Consequence: Superluminal and temporal travel (conjectural) Tactical Result: Rapid Expansion of humanity across the cosmos Political Fallout: Human density drops to nearly zero - answering 'where are they?' Social Effect: With automation, the rise of the individual to unbelievable power from the viewpoint of a 20th century industrial nation state. So, in order to preserve US military resources to fight limited conflicts that maintain US control over a small and diminishing collection of natural resources - against the needs of an exponentially growing population of have-nots - the US gave up this visionary path of development and instead has controlled and constrained things until ultimately we end up in the present day. The attacks the US and others have suffered from disenfranchised terrorists, will continue, and likely within the next decade include biological and nuclear weapons. Each attack will empower the centralized control seeking safety, and ultimately, the decline of oil output will constrain industry, and there will be a decline in human numbers as increasing industrial costs and lowered farm outputs and increasing disease decimate the humans that are left. Ultimately, if this path is unchecked, we will end up a small post-technical species without the capacity to follow this path outlined above. And in the end, we will not be a space faring species and any thought that we might have been will be considered rankest fantasy from an age of hubris. |
