Above this text is the link for the article, what is written about space trains. The space trains are the fictional spacecraft, what may someday travel in our solar system, and they would not ever stop to the planets orbiter. The needed power of the trip, what would take mankind to Mars in two days those spaceships would get from gravity sling for accelerating their speed. In this scenario, the spaceship would send to the solar system by using conventional rockets. And when it would obtain planets like Mars, then the planet’s gravity would increase the speed of that spacecraft.


When the spacecraft would turn to the Sun, the gravity field of the Sun would be used to increase the speed, and then the trajectory would target to the Jupiter and Saturn. The good thing of that vehicle is that it would use only the gravity field of the planets to increase the speed, and first, the speed might be quite slow, but after a couple of years, this spacecraft would be used to transfer the people and equipment across the Solar system. In the scenario, the space train would accelerate without people couple of years in the interplanetary space. When the speed would be high enough the people would move in that capsule, what might offer the space, where are houses and artificial gravity. This would be done by using centrifugal force to make artificial gravity field.


The idea of this spacecraft would be that the cargo would pack to the modules, what would be delivered to the Solar system. And when something wanted to send back to Earth, the module would fly to the spacecraft, and then it would dock to that spacecraft. If this kind of space trains would sometimes be possible it can be used to conquer all solar system. This kind of things is very simple solutions because there is no need for nuclear rockets. And the need for propellant is quite small, the rockets are needed only for changing course of that spacecraft.The electricity for those life support systems is of course made by using nuclear reactors. Also series of RTG:s (Radio Thermal Generator) can be used in smaller scale vehicles.

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
