Above this text is an interesting lunar-rover concept. A modified Tesla cyber truck that could operate in a vacuum. The electric car can operate always in a vacuum and the thing is that the modification is needed only when the vehicle must be pressurized. There are three ways to make the rover that can operate on the moon. 

The first version just uses the standard but armored vehicle, and in that case, the astronauts must wear full lunar suits which protects them against cosmic radiation and micrometeorites. The second version is to connect the radiation protection to that vehicle. This thing means that astronauts can use lighter suits. But in the case of an accident, this can be risky business. 

And in the "luxury model," the moon rover has a pressurized cabin where the astronauts can take off their lunar suits. The lunar rover can be locally or remote-controlled. The remote control system can be on the Earth or it can be on the moon. And the same rovers can operate independently or manned.

That means in the case of an accident. The base can send the automatic rover for picking the astronauts. The lunar rover can have a button where the astronauts can select between the "autopilot" and "manual cruise". 

The interesting thing is that the same vehicle can use on the moon or deep inside the oceans. The second image portraits Japan's or sharper saying Toyota corporations conceptual moon rover that is large enough also for deep ocean operations. The large-size system can equip with a small nuclear reactor and the crew has more room in that place. 

There is also possible to install the RTG-based electric engine system in all axles and that thing can also give a very good capacity and power to the large-size systems. The nuclear-based system would give the lunar rover an extreme capacity.  

Without depending on if the system operates at the bottom of the ocean. Or on the surface of the moon. And that kind of amphibious system can benefit both civil and military missions. The "car" can drive the bottom of the ocean or it can also travel on the roads and drylands.

Space X's Falcon 9, the new way to make rockets

Space X-corporations "Falcon" rocket is representing the new way to make rockets. The rocket itself doesn't need massive space centers, and it can operate anywhere, where finds hydrogen and oxygen. The rocket would lift off and land to any helicopter landing site, and the noise of this construction is, of course, the big problem. The normal vehicle, what can be used with this rocket seems to be the ship, where this new kind of shuttle would operate. In the pictures, this rocket operates from normal space centers, but when we are thinking the capacity of this vehicle, in the future it could operate from anywhere, there is no need to avoid the noise.

I know, why also Pentagon is very interested in this kind of rockets, what can use many times. That rocket would allow NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) to send their satellites anywhere from the Earth, and this kind of heavy rockets can also operate with modern miniature shuttles, what can be used as an anti-satellite, reconnaissance and other missions like giving service for satellites. The concept of Falcon would allow making new kind of Moon shuttles, what can travel between Moon and Earth, and bring samples of the dust also from the asteroid belt.


Also, this kind of concept could work as the base for Mars lander, what would bring samples from red planet to the Earth. Those Falcon rockets can also operate with huge airships, and in this scenario, the rocket would transfer to a very big distance from cities by using airship or big cargo-plane, and then it can be launched to the orbital trajectory. This is the very good point when we are thinking about the noise of space rockets.


This kind of concepts can operate from normal airfields, and they can be shoot to the orbiting trajectory far from the sea. When we are thinking about the innovation of this rocket, the engineers might be stolen the idea of this marvelous spacecraft from "Tintin" cartoon, where the main character flies to the moon by using functionally similar rocket than this "Falcon" is.

Virgin Galactic and SpaceX are representing new kind of industry: Private space companies.

Many of us are read about companies like Virgin Galactic and SpaceX, what is changing the world. Those companies have realistic plans for open space for tourism and commercial flights into the Mars. They are shown that the NASA and other governmental actors are not only, who might work in the space business and explorations. But when we are looking at the productions of those companies, we must see that those shuttles, what can operate from the normal runways, and the rockets that are capable to launch without special equipment, like service platforms what are visible in the Cape Canaveral are interested in the governments.


This kind of productions will be very useful in the ASAT (Anti Satellite) and ABM (Anti Ballistic Missile) operations. Those small size suttles can be launched from the B-52 or B-1 bombers, and they can operate in the intelligence, fire-control, and attack-roles against enemy satellites and ground troops. In the fire-control missions, those shuttles will control the fire and operations, of the ABM or ASAT systems.


The shuttles will observe the satellites and the airspace of the predicted enemy, and when they will notice some hostile actions, the killer-satellites would shoot to the skies.  Also, those shuttles can be used as the space fighters, what will shoot the satellites with missiles and they can also highjack secret intelligence satellites. And the "Zuma" mission has shown that those companies have the strong role in the national security missions.


That's why some persons are thinking, that those companies will be the same kind of "shadow works" or "the skunkworks" division than the more well-known companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin aircraft companies. If the independent company has the capacity to send the vehicles to space, those companies have also the capacity to make the strikes, what has the same kind of magnitude than nuclear weapons.


That kind of things must notice when we are thinking about the privatization of the space. The private companies are more innovative than the governmental organizations because they must not ask the permission for any dollar, and that is the reason why those companies have more effect in their innovation than some NASA have. Virgin Galactic has had technical problems with it space shuttle, and one test pilot has died during the test flights. But the technical problems can be the win, and maybe we will have the change to fly to the Earth orbiter as the tourists.
