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.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

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
