The story of Andrée part II (The finding of photographs and equipment)

When Salomon Andrée's equipment and photographs were found in 1930 over 30 years after those men's death, was that case actually a miracle. There were more questions about that case and the first one was the age of his company. The two men who left with him were 27 years old Knut Fraekel (1870-1897) and 25 years old Nils Strindberg (1872-1897). Andrée (1854-1897) himself was 43. So why Andée choose those two men for his trip? Why didn't he take elder persons, who would have more life experience with him to that fatal trip?


Was there something, what that man wanted to hide? Were those two men were chosen for the company, because they wanted to be addicted about Andrée, who was eldest and that too him the position, where he was the absolute authority. The balloon was put in the silk, and that material is quite difficult to repair. Sometimes there were claiming, that Andrée was murdered because there was something special about that silk. And in the wildest thoughts in my brain comes idea, that the silk is made by spider's net.


That material is quite difficult to get, but some tics are making the similar material. This is only thought, and I cannot prove it anyway. But let's continue with the finding of the equipment, photos and diary of Andrée. The first thing was, that Andrée was the only one, who kept the diary. Many people were happy when that stuff found, and Andrée was idolized in the eyes of Swedish. He became the national hero. But one question is open: how that material, what left after those three men could be found after 33 years?


Maybe the luck was with those men, but sometimes I have found another reason, why the diary and photographs could be so good condition. If somebody took them from his pocket in that island could be the very natural explanation for the good condition of those pictures, but this is only speculation.  And who would have the photos in the pocket? Was there somebody waiting for Andrée on the Polar Area? Or could one either another person of his journey stay alive? But this is pure speculation and the waste of time, an official explanation would be the best way to tell what happened to Andrée in 1897.

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
