The submarine U-977, a German navy submarine, what escaped to Argentina just after the World War II

The mystery of the type VIIC submarine U-977, what made the journey to Argentina at the end of the World War II is simple. Why this submarine made that trip, even if the war was ended during its last patrol in 1945. The captain of that submarine wrote a book of this incident, and he claims that there was nobody on board, who wanted to slip off the hands of the allied. That man might speak true, but the fact is, that some war criminal might be worked undercover as the member of the crew.

Or another way is to put another submarine in the pull of the U-977, and that submarine would be type II class submarine, what might have the snorkel system, what allows that submarine stay underwater in a long time. And if the only electronic component, what is used as the compressor, there might be very long endurance for the fuel of that submarine.

 Or maybe the used submarine was the “Seehund" class midget submarine. When we are looking for the route of U-977, it was very long, and did that submarine have full patrolling fuel for patrol, what began the only couple of days before the end of the war? And did that fuel stay for the trip to Argentina? When we are talking about the submarine, what skeptic by another submarine, there might be facing the situation, that the captain of that submarine didn’t know midget submarine, what this attack submarine was pulled.


Or he might be afraid because if the submarine, what could be after the U-977, could kill the bigger submarine by torpedoes. And if there were no torpedos for the tail torpedo tubes, there was no change to escape from that operation. The trip to Argentina was taken 66 days, so the submarine’s fuel was full. Or another way is to meet the service ship on the sea. The reason for the trip is the thing, what makes me be the sceptic of the speeches and writings of the captain of U-977.


If those men did not surrender properly place, they might face the court-martial when they return the land. Of course, the reason for that trip might be only to offer those seamen the nice beach holiday in Argentina. But if there were some undercover war criminal in the crew, this man might be there without that nobody else knows their existence. The only man who knows the truth is the captain of that boat.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments.

The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
