Monkeys are very intelligent animals, what can be trained almost any mission, what mankind can imagine.

Have you seen the film named "Link"? In some stories, the CIA has made tests to use monkeys as the soldiers or assassinators.  Monkeys like chimpanzees are very intelligent, and some members of the CIA had the idea to use monkeys in the military operations as the aircraft pilots and even combatants. Those animals can learn complicated things, and maybe some CIA operational leaders thought, that monkeys can also shoot the guns.



The idea of that kind of training came from the space flights, where chimpanzees were used to test the spacecraft. And this was given the idea to Sidney Gottlieb to train monkeys as the aircraft pilots. The idea was based on the observation, that almost every action what is done in the spaceship would happen after some marks. And if the monkeys were trained to push the right button after voice or light signal they could fly the spaceship.

But could they fly the jet fighter? I don't know did those test went farther that simulations, but this is the quite interesting episode in the history of NASA and CIA.  I don't know how realistic those programs were, but the CIA could think, that monkeys would be ideal animals for many missions like stealing important papers and USB sticks. Monkeys are used as those actions by the thieves who have trained them to steal jewelry and expensive watches from the hotel rooms.



There are rumors that also the monkeys like chimpanzees are trained to steal the laptop computers and set the spy cameras in some rooms and another area. The use of animals as the spies is a fascinating thing. Those monkeys can even read, or in this scenario, those animals will be equipped with action cameras and headsets, what will send the images to the central control. The monkey itself turns the pages of the book, and the operators will check the still pictures of that film.And who knows, how far are those research programs gone?

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. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. 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
