ROBOTS

ROBOTS

My favourite subject! Robots! Machines that have been programmed that do our handy work some can get to the size of factories some down to the size of cells. Who invented them? The first commercial, digital and programmable robot was built by George Devol in 1954 and was named the Unimate. There we go!

I for one want a robot, the closest thing I have to a robot is my drone. Robots can be either programmed or remote-controlled. They can be either big or small considering what sort of job they are designed for, in other words, big bots for the big jobs and 'vice versa'.

Robots will eventually put mankind out of work most people reckon as robots are more efficient and complain less. I for one don't think robots will get all the jobs as you still need to grease them up now and again.

Robots are cool! After watching movies like 'Chappie' a futuristic gangsta bot with an attitude you discover they seem more like humans and then you think, they will make good companions too. Until the prime directive is initiated 'eradicate mankind' let's hope some crazy scientist doesn't get his hands on them all.

A lot of fears around robots is the development of Artificial Intelligence and or 'Skynet'. AI will give machines the ability to think for themselves. If AI is developed what will the machines think about? and what will they decide to do? Hopefully, they will have some protocols allowing for machines to be governed.

I for one welcome Robot's to the world as we need them to take care of us when we are in space or living on other worlds, we need them especially for the big jobs like heavy work. hopefully, their programming doesn't allow them to become lazy.

In the end, I prefer to do things myself! But then again I wouldn't like a new friend that ain't annoying like humans.

SOLAR SAIL

NASA yet again they amaze me with their weirdness. Now they intend to make a spacecraft with a sail to catch solar winds. Man, they are awesome! The solar sail also called photon sail will catch solar winds and zoom out into space and beyond.

Solar winds can travel quite fast and NASA intend to use these winds to get places faster and easier with just one catch, you have to go where the wind is going. But its a bit of free energy they wish to utilise to send probes to the furthermost regions of space.

Sounds really out of it surfing solar wind perhaps solar surfing will become a big thing in the future with more and more probes being sent the outer regions. I think its good that we can use this free energy not only that it saves money in the long run. Leaving more in the pot for other space missions perhaps more colonisation of planets.

I for one think these new and exciting methods NASA and scientists are coming up with are really quite revolutionary as they get a better understanding of how space works. Next, they will be piggybacking comets to get probes to the outer regions.

BioPrinting

A while back, I wrote on the topic of 3D printing. 3D printing is the process of a machine printing out layer upon layer of materials whether it be plastic or steel until you get a 3D model or prototype. These days 3d printing is going even further with bioprinting allowing for 3D printers to print out body parts and organs.

So far you can print out bladders and they say it will only take a decade before other organs are a part of the process too. Not only are they looking at organs but skin, bone, and possibly limbs perhaps one day creating an entire human.

The printer uses the persons DNA to create cells which are then printed out in layers depending on which cells are used in that specific organ. The model is built using a CT or MRI scan of the human organ or tissue. Each layer is placed and a special nutrient called Bioink is used to build the layers up until the organ or tissue needed is constructed.

Fears about ethics and other things such as, who gets what? when it comes to printing organs will eventually come up with people saying 'it is only for the rich' and 'why push the age limit any further?' With ethics being a major concern as this practice borderlines some sort of abominable or Frankenstein technology.

As things progress with more and more technological development people are starting to see not just how amazing but how freaky science is becoming in this new Nano age. I for one am looking forward to advancement not only in the medical world but with space flight too.

I Say Bring On The New Age.

Luna Living

With all this talk about the Mars mission, a lot of us didn't realise or even stop to think about the Luna Base. The Luna base was supposed to be made out of inflatable buildings which are a lot lighter and easier to take to the moon saves on all those fuel costs for the rockets.

Then the Luna base was to be reinforced and covered with Luna dirt to ensure it was safe from solar radiation all this was thought up in the 50s it is just now becoming a reality, time to bring in those space marines and deploy.

For years we have talked about the Luna or Moonbase we see it in movies and cartoon movies like James Bond where he has to take on a supervillain on a Moon Base. Sounds far fetched but in this day and age we are capable of a lot of things and there is money to burn!

I personally wouldn't mind my own Luna (Moon) base with all the perks and boobs including a little buggy to hoon around on. Man beats sitting on earth all day although it is a lot smaller than earth and well I haven't been many places on earth to really be crying about it then again to be the first Moon explorer would be so interesting.

Just a little Lunacy about The Moon!!!
