A Living World in Space

A generation ship is a hypothetical spacecraft designed for long-term interstellar travel, potentially lasting centuries. The concept involves an initial crew living, reproducing, and dying aboard the ship, with their descendants continuing the journey.

Originally conceived by US rocket pioneer Robert H. Goddard, this enormous space ark is an enclosed, self-sustaining world with its own ecosystem, designed to meet all the needs of its crew as they travel for centuries or even millennia to their destination.


Equipped with agriculture, habitation, and life-support systems, these ships are intended to ensure survival across multiple generations.

Project Hyperion is part of a study aimed at assessing the feasibility of crewed interstellar flight using current and near-future technologies and hoping to guide future research and technology development while educating the public on the logistics and potential of interstellar travel.    READ MORE...

Worried Democrats

 

Democrats are worried about the next four years because the 2024 election CAUGHT THEM OFF GUARD...

Democrats had assured themselves that 91 felony charges and 34 felony convictions would convince the American Voter not to vote for TRUMP...  However, the American Voter knew the DOJ charges were BOGUS and therefore, they, like me, ignored them.

The other part of their political ignorance was the fact that when they said BIDENOMICS WAS WORKING, the American Voter knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was not working, at least not for them.

THAT WAS A HUGE POLITICAL BLUNDER.

Finally, the Democrats just KNEW that their programs were the right programs for the American Voter and again, their thoughts were WRONG.

Consequently, the Democrats are worried about all the damage that the GOP is going to be able to do during the next four years.

They are worried because Trump is now experienced with WASHDC politics and knows how to play the game.  Hence, his cabinet and political teams are going to be assembled before the end of the month so he can hit the ground running.

Trump want to RUN in office, because he knows he only has a guarantee of 2 years before he might lose the HOUSE.

If Trump can drill so much oil that it really reduces gasoline prices and inflation, then Dems are going to have a hard time trying to go green in 2028.

ALSO, if Trump really SHRINKS the federal government and there are positive impacts on society, then the Dems are going to have a hard time increasing govt employees.

Lastly, the removal of illegal immigrants will impact the American Voter so much, that they will never want an OPEN BIDEN BORDER again.

If I was a Democrat, I would be worried that the Republicans might be in control for the next 8-12 years.

United America - DENIED

 

One of Joe Biden's promises in 2020 was to UNITE AMERICA... and the way he managed his administration that appeared to be, in my opinion, the last thing on his mind.

Right before the Biden Administration ends, Joe Biden and his colleagues, are trying to do everything possible to make it DIFFICULT for Donald Trump in the political hopes that Trump's administration will not be any better.

POLITICS more important than UNITY...

NOW...

The Republicans are JUST AS BAD as the Democrats in trying to PREVENT AMERICAN UNITY.

SO...

What does that tell us and the rest of the world about AMERICAN POLITICS???

Patrick Henry used the phrase in his last public speech, given in March 1799, in which he denounced The Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. Clasping his hands and swaying unsteadily, Henry declaimed, "Let us trust God, and our better judgment to set us right hereafter. United we stand, divided we fall.

Well...

Do you think that phrase at the bottom of Henry's comments (in red) is applicable today?

I do otherwise I would not be writing this...

Look at the past EIGHT YEARS and tell me how UNITED our country is and how that lack of unity has benefitted us?

The USA is full of:

Racial Hate

Gender Hate

Financial Hate

Social Media Hate
