It is worthless to argue over a moot point such as Environmental Conservation.
The reason Environmental Conservation is a moot point is because individual, immediate, Self Indulgence will outweigh long-term catastrophic possibilities. Until imminent catastrophic possibilities become an imminent mutually assured destruction .
And of course by then it is too late... and perhaps that is the focal point of what this book is about.
I would like to suggest that we get the move on today while the sun is shining instead of waiting for it to be hailing sleet, snow, thunder and lightning before we get on to doing some things that we really need to addressā¦
One thing I would like to suggest that has been on the drawing board for a very long time now nearly 50 yrsā¦
It kind of looks like a bicycle wheel, but 10,000 times larger.
The center hub would contain rocket and electric thrust
Solar sail would be streched from the outer rim to the hub. Solar Thinfilm (flexible solar panels) should be stretched on the opposite side of the rim.
Off the shelf compressed gas or electric thrust can be used for rotation and stability control and for artificial gravitational effect around the rim.
Continuing with the bicycle wheel analogyā¦
What we have discussed so far is the frame and propulsion systems. Attached to the rim of the gravity ring (Where a bicycle tire would be on a bicycle rim) would be modular habitatās.
These modular habitatās would be interconnected with air locks. And sheathed with 2mm steal plates. Each habitat would be 50 meters long by 30 meters diameter. Each habitat divided down the length into four compartmentsā¦
plumbing, electrical, heating , equipment storage.
Bottom -center compartment:
5 meters of high grade top soil Actively growingā¦
grains. Fruits, vegetables, and live stock (chickens sheep, possibly fish
Research labs, food storage & cafeteria, ship command (navigation, propulsion, critical resource management ect)
Top ā most compartment:
is for systems infrastructure,
resource harvesting conduits for critical industrial systems (raw resource harvesting smelting, materials fabrication, particle accelerator configuration intake / exhaust harvest, Bot deployment bay, heavy equipment storageā¦etc.).
Keep in mind that size in space is relative to ambition, cash flow and supply line.
If the frame work of the gravity rim is 500 meters radius (1killometer diameter) and circumference of 3,140 meters divided by 50 meters/habit would allow room for 62.8 habitat modules
If the gravity ring only has 1level of habitation moduleās there would be enough room on the rim to secure approximately 60 habitat modules. Thatās sounds like a lot of space but this vessel can permanently house a crew of 2,500 with room to accommodate 2,500 transient passengers.
Since the habitās are modular you can stack them like building a modern hi-rise four or five high with only marginal difference in the perception of gravitational pull.
Crew can accesses any part of the vessel by use of air tight elevator/stairwell shafts built into the frame work of the gravity Rim .
And use of public / agricultural division of the habitat modules to traverse the circumference of the habitat Ring.
This vessel would be capable of sustaining populations for very long journeys or function as a geosynchronous ship yard or as an orbital scientific colony or as a roving harvester
However the primary purpose for the āStepping Stoneā vessel is as ~
automatic raw resource harvester, self replicating ( macro bot ), interplanetary transport vessel.
The self replication of the āStepping Stoneā is accomplished through swarm technology.
There are three main components to the āstepping Stoneā vessel
The body ~ āStepping Stoneā electromechanical vessel and appendages.
MOM āMission Objectives Mechā
NOTE: A lot of people fail to grasp what MOM really is, but fear not. Well talk in more detail about MOM a little later on.
MOM is the collective sum of (CAMF AI) and the āStepping Stoneā vessel exercising autonomous situational comprehension, comparative tactic analysis, harvesting resources, material retrieval, manufacturing, navigation, self repair/replication and much moreā¦
Harvesting targets and directives are issued by Central Assessments Main Frame narrow AI (CAMF AI) and confirmed with human oversight (or with complete autonomy like unmanned vessel )
Once targets / objectives are established the electromechanical components of the āStepping Stoneā under direction of CAMF AI issues objective/directives, target coordinates to required harvester bot's.
Bay doors are opened, harvester botās are deployed, supervised, retrieved, raw ore, gas, ice, ect. are unloaded and funneled to proper smelter or storage containment. All under direction of (MOM).
. Further you could carry a genetic library and of course seed bank and pollination bank(insect specific) along. In doing so you can grow what you need invetro fertilizationā¦ so that after crusing through the Milky Way Galaxy for 7 generations your great, great, great, grand children will still know what chicken taste like and look like because you could grow them as you need them. Chickenās, cows, pigs, sheep, whatever floats your boat.
Actually come to think of it you could do invetro fertilization for people too but thereās a lot of argument among many groups in the human species as to the morality and ethicās as far as invetro harvesting people. Crewing an interplanetary vessel with āTest-tube people' or whatever like that, Iām sure, would get the hairs on the back of a Nay Sayerās neck standing straight up.
I donāt think an Invetro crew is anything to worry about until the prospects of immediate intergalactic travel is upon us.
But we do have the technology to do it.
Further, the scientific research for advancement into the stars, feasible energy/propulsion systems and sustainability of biological systems to colonization of other planets will inevitably and inextricably lead toward advancements in every aspect of human understanding. From geosynchronous or roving interplanetary libraryās (appended with research) to interstellar propulsion systems to exoagricilture to main stream galactic navigation (passenger space liner for everyday earn a buck two-leggers like me and you) ā¦and so much more.
If you enjoy doing mazes when you were in school then you probably know that it is easier to solve the puzzle of a maze by going from the back to the front. From end to beginning almost always yieldās the path of least resistance in solving the maze.
This approach encapsulates one of the āprinciplesā in ā7 habits of highly effective people ā
ā~Begin with the end in mind~ā
And so, this book is written by Design from the back to the front starting with the big picture: The End Objective.
Establish a specific objective:
1. Finance and build the āStepping Stoneā vessel.
2. Establish earth to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Supply Line.
Reusable rockets, Space X
3. Establish research, engineering and construction providerās
~āOrbital Platforms ā~
low earth orbit āextrusion of space station frame workā.
4. Establish construction methodology
~ Reusable rockets~ deliver modular components to build location.
First pay load is a single modular habitat that shipyard crew can live in during construction of first āStepping Stone āvessel
5. Coordinate R&D, fabrication and construction providerās
6. Establish financial base
~One billion people *$10 each~
The research needs to be across the board with specific goals that can be Unified into a spear head toward a specific objective.
1. Build first āStepping Stoneā self replicating vessel .
2. Construct reusable geosynchronous ship yard .
3. Establish financial base.
One billion people * $10 each
5. Construct Earth knowledge bankā¦ (geosynchronous library)
6. Guarantee survival of humanity and accumulated knowledge of humanity by expanding out in to the solar system and later the Milky Way Galaxy at large.
7. Harvesting raw resources exploration & cataloging.
8. Colonizing planets that can be terraformed or directly inhabited.
9. The Preservation of our biosphere Earth.
10. The Preservation of the other organisms and resources within this biosphere that depend on it.
The Catalyst that can accomplish this daunting task is the innate need forā¦
11. Survival As A Species.
With our collective knowledge, technology, science, and culture as a species intact
Most important of all and most fundamental to our primitive and instinctive nature is that We (Human beings) are apex predators, like lions. Also, we (Human beings) are pack animals in the same sense that lions are pack animals.
lions do have their pride (pack) and there are rules too being in the pride.
When a young lion has grown past adolescence they get kicked out of the pride if that lion has Not found a mate and Started his own pride.
The lion pride is structured in this way by instinct
First because the young lion will eventually clash with the pride Alpha male. This usually ends with injury to the Alpha as well as death for the challenger
Lions seem too also realize instinctively that the challenger will be a drain on resources until he learns to successfully hunt, mate, and establish his Own pride.
The social structure of people is not all that different.
Due to this fundamental of our nature as predators in the animal kingdom We are nervous when we are around other human beings that we do not personally know. Therefore it is to the benefit of our survival as a species to expand off of this planet so we do not gnaw at each other.
No, Iām not talking about a nuclear war. Or a collision with the asteroid Apophis ( both of which Are possible), Iām just saying in general; from drug sponsored street violence, police brutality, ethnic, religious racial tyranny all the way up the line to conflicts of state and terrorism weāre just good at killing each other. We are in our own documents in history prove to be the apex predator on this planet and a blood thirsty near genocidal species. So letās just admit that truth and move forward with that because itās a fact. And of course there is the ever present military ambition to control the high ground which in space means the outer perimeter sphere of human colonization and population and economic activityās)
also the fundamental greed of Industry by the mining of resources in the process of seeking out habitable planets as well as the inevitable revenues generated buy rare goods as well as food supplies generated by the established colonies through enter planetary trade and tourism. And on top of all that add the individual human drive to acquire
On a brighter note this of course is not the only reason that human beings occupied territories in the age of exploration (colonial expansion, 1500-1800) people came west to grow farms, to raise cattle, to prospect gold, for game, to live quietly in the mountains, to be peaceful and go out fishing every Sunday because thatās what they love to do. People will travel out into space for many of the same reasons first as tourists to the moon just for the experience, to tell their neighbors. Later on for more serious endeavors because industry will be paving away
Please know Elon musk says he's going to be having relay ships running between Mars and Earth on a 1 year or a 6 months schedule some time in the next 10 years
Note this is not exactly accurate text because I'm out of date on this specific topic but something like that was consideredā¦So all I can say to that is,
Right Onā¦ Thatās whatās up ,š!!!
But getting back too the āStepping Stoneā project
I think that such an artificial gravitation habitat such as described above; as I call the āStepping Stoneā would be the most fruitful first step towards the human species seriously moving out into the solar system and populating beyond the planet Earth.
For example, we could definitely build two of these platforms under 10 years. Design research development and implementation on the first stepping stone would take approximately 7 years start to finish.
The second one will simply be franchised as they say in the business community or replication as they would say in the technology community.
But yeah, basic replication of the technology developed in the first stepping stone... Especially the technology of self-replication so that the first āStepping Stoneā vessel actually constructs the second āStepping Stone āvessel.
Once this is accomplished we could establish orbit for āStepping Stone1ā around the earth and the moon, simultaneously establishing orbit for āStepping Stone 2ā around Mars and the. moon Like an interplanetary bus rout. The āStepping stonesā will be a self contained colony even before you touch down on a planet. The āStepping Stoneā vessel will provide everything the colony would need indefinitely to sustain itself.
Or The āStepping Stoneā can just roll about space on controlled power, solar sails, rocket thrust( H-H-O) or particle accelerator ejection (exhaust). Harvesting and mining resources and raw materials for self replication, for purposes of extending out farther into the planets, the keiper belt and Milky Way at large..
In 5 years (with abundant harvesting resources) The first two stepping stones will self replicate two more stepping stones making a total of four which can easily put us on the route to an interplanetary bus route, so to speak, that reaches out to Jupiter possibly and beyond... All in 15 years or less.
The self replication of the āStepping Stoneā is exponential
Max speed to self replicate is 5 years so consider 7 years the average replication time
The first two āStepping Stonesā will replicate two more āStepping Stonesā in 7 years
All 4 āStepping Stonesā will self replicate In another seven years totaling 8 vessels. All eight vessels will self replicate in seven more years totaling 16 āStepping Stone āvessels. And on and onā¦32ā¦64..
In seven revolution of self replication you will have 128 vesselā¦
Eight self-replication revolutions
Nine revolutions yieldās 512vessels and so onā¦
512 āStepping Stonesā= 9 revolutions of 7 years each
This proses continues indefinitely
And Now you might grasp how the āStepping Stoneā project can and will build a network spanning the solar system in 50 years or less; and extend a network across the milky way galaxy in short order (perhaps 500 years or less).
In about 60 or 70 years (2099 ā 2110) We have a whole fleet of āStepping Stone āvessels. Weād be harvesting raw minerals, discover new methods of transportation, existence, survival and commerceā¦
THROUGH INTERPLANETARY COLONISATION AND INTERPLANETARY MARKETāSā¦
and all kinds of really cool stuff ā¦
But let me digress a little bit It's funā¦
We have talked a lot about science and technology but now lets consider people for a bitā¦
the fundamental nature of human curiosity to explore and discover for the sake of exploration and discovery.
The silk road, the imperial Battle for the American colonies, the reach for the moon and beyond. All are driven by the same motivation within the human spirit both as the individual biological animal that we are and as we compile ourselves into the social entity of nations that we are also.
Insatiably self destructively curious.
