The most well- known instrument what Apollo-program left to the Moon was known as ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package), except Apollo 11 what has the package called EASEP ( Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package). ALSEP is very well known and open program, what measured magnet field,  radiation, what comes from the Sun and Moonquakes. That package was the most open unit in the Apollo program, or it supposed to be.


When we are looking at the history if this module, we are finding one very interesting part of that module, one of the creator's of that package name was Frank Press, what seems like the faked name. The system, what ALSEP used is very well known, but have you ever seen any photos of the inside parts of those detectors. There were some very interesting things, what fascinates people, and one of them is the laser mirror, one of the most well-known parts of the system.


Sometimes that mirror, what is mentioned to use for metering the distance between the Earth and Moon is claimed to be unit, what tests how sharp the laser rays, what are shot from the Earth can be targeted, if there were used mirrors to give echo to return the energy ray to Earth. Maybe that unit was planned to use by some satellites, that could relay powerful laser-rays to the targets, what is beyond the horizon.


The reason, why somebody claims that is that this system is unnecessary. The distance between the Earth and Moon can easily meter by using radar, and this has caused the wild rumors about the military- or other secret tests, what are made by NASA using those systems, what are officially called as ALSEP. But there are some other rumors that ALSEP was used as the simulator for extremely long-term spaceflight.


That hypothetical test would be made for simulating the space flight, where the main part of the crew of interstellar spacecraft would travel to the targeted solar system as the fetus. In this scenario, only the crew, what is necessary would travel in that hypothetical spacecraft as a human, and other would be in the cell-condition. And when the spacecraft would travel near the target, the rest of the crew would wake up. The training of those people would be made by EEG-stimulation to brain core.


But the thing, what makes that kind of trip extremely difficult is, of course, moral and ethics. But in the ALSEP could be possible to simulate the influence of long-term space flight and the influence of cosmic radiation on those cells, and maybe that ALSEP  contained the tests, where the cosmic radiation influence tested by rats. And if we would try to make the next season for some TV-series, the ALSEP could be contained the human fetuses, that would transfer to humans because the scientists would like to test the influence of the long-term radiation for the behavior of the humans. And that's why those fetuses would be given to the parents, who would not able to get children. But this is only the production of imaginational thinking.

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
