Strange painting from the medieval age might innovate the engineers to build the most modern Mars probe.

Above the text is the medieval picture of the ”headless man”. There are many strange pictures about this creature, and the reason why those pictures have been painted is the mystery. Many of those pictures show that those strange creatures were some kind of kind creatures, or in those pictures will not find any violence, what was very common in the medieval art.


Those headless creatures seem very kindly, and they seem to salute the knights by raising their hands. This is the very strange thing because those creatures must be made by the devil, and that would be the reason, why rendezvous with those creatures should automatically cause the fight between the good knights and the dark people, the headless demons. But why those creatures are not painted like demons? This is quite interesting theories about that.

Some people believe that those creatures meant the handicapped persons, who were helpless and harmless against other personal attacks. And this could be the reason, why the violence against those creatures would not be allowed. In some theories,  the Soviet engineers took the model from this picture, when they created the next generation Mars-lander (Picture 2).


That lander has the hat like this creature has, and it will be pushed open when this lander comes to the Martian atmosphere. This would be only the coincidence, but that would be an interesting thought, that the most modern technological company took the model from some medieval picture. And probably those headless people have given the innovation in some Sci-Fi series robots, like ”Battle Star Galactica” Cylons.

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
