Space X Starship is ready for launch.


Space X Starship is a new and powerful shuttle type. It's more powerful than NASA's rockets. And that large-scale reusable shuttle will be the model of the next-generation large-scale VTOL shuttles. Those shuttles will launch from the regular airfields. The regular shuttle can rise to a high atmosphere by using turbojets. And there the rocket boosters will launch.

The shuttle can use vertically aimed jet engines for rising it airborne, and then it can fly like regular aircraft until it reaches the very thin air layers. The system can use air-breathing rockets or flap scramjets. The system closes the air inlet of the scramjet by using a flap. 

Then it uses that engine as a rocket. When the speed rises high enough, that system can start breathing air. And then, it rises out from the atmosphere and closes the flap again. In rocket mode, the rocket scramjet uses an oxygen and fuel mixture. When the flap is open the system breathes the air into the scramjet engine.

Those shuttles will not need special bases. The thing is that those next-generation shuttles don't need special runways either. They can launch from any launchpad like a parking lot if there is a portable fuel supply unit. That separates oxygen from the air. And those shuttles can use ethanol or hydrogen along with chlorine as fuel. 

If those shuttles use oxygen and hydrogen as fuel, those rockets will not pollute at all.  Electrolytic systems can make hose hydrogen and chorine along with oxygen from seawater. So one version of the launch site for those very powerful rockets from the sea areas. That thing solves the noise problems. 

There is a possibility to use counter-noise to keep sound waves in the launching areas. And that decreases the noise problem near launching sites.  But the systems can also use things like sonic tornadoes or LRAD systems that close the soundwaves behind the noise wall. 

Electrolytic systems can use electricity that is from the ships. Or the system can use green electricity like floating solar cells. There is also a possibility that the shell of those rockets will put the tube, where water flows through the turbogenerator. That system can deliver electricity for the electrolysis system.  The large-size multi-use space systems are the next-generation tools for civil and military applications.

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.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. 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
