Every exoplanet, what we know is very far away, and that's the reason, why all trips to those planets are only speculations. We must create more advanced technology to make that kind of trip to exoplanets like Kepler 22b, where seems to be the giant ocean. That kind of exoplanets are very fascinating and in many imaginational stories, people would swim in those giant oceans, what are covering all planet. Oceans of those water-planets are very deep, and if the estimated depth of the oceans is 100 kilometers, the swimmer would see the darkness under the body.


There could also be water-planets, what have islands and shoal ocean, what might be only 20 meters deep, but this is only the speculation. Nowadays scientists have found only the exoplanets, what would have very deep oceans or another way we might say, that water layer on the surface of those planets is very squad. Kepler 22b is actually 1,5 times larger than Earth, and that's why swimming on its oceans would be extremely heavy.


And even there would not be the similar atmosphere, what allows our fictional astronaut to breath, in the oceans might be animals. Of course, those animals might be very big, like giant whales, because there might be Oxygen in the oceans. But the main problem would be bacteria-size fauna. Those very small organisms would cause infection in the bodies of astronauts, and that would be the biggest threat in that trip.


That's why we cannot go any habitable planet without bio-protective suit and gas masks, or the organisms on that planet would destroy us. The bio-protective suit is actually the overalls, what denies the skin to make contact with the atmosphere and microbes. In some scenarios, the astronauts, who would land to the habitable planet would cover their skin with Vaseline, or some other material like rubber, what would be sprayed to their skin, but this solution would leave skin without oxygen.


And that's why those astronauts must be used NBC-gas gear. If those astronauts want to use sprayed protection, they must be careful, because the bacteria, what is going to the anaerobic environment could cause infections. That's is the reason, that those sprayed solutions would not be suitable for the long-term use. But the film of this thing would be below the text, and I hope that you enjoy that film.

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
