The time when the individual scientist reached the certainty that his experiments had become a reality is basically an emotional memory. Today the discoveries are the result of multidisciplinary work . It is necessary, sometimes, to discover new materials that allow to build new machinery that in turn allow to carry out new experiments to affirm another step forward in the specific science. Many disciplines go hand in hand with instrumental innovations; coordinating them would most likely mean improving the speed with which Science Advances. The technological competition between states and the economic implications that innovations can bring with them remain to be overcome. Maybe a coordinator could be really helpful. Asgardia, with souls from many nations, could indeed be a reference; we propose, we find the sages who know how to manage with impartiality the river of Sciences. To paraphrase Aldrin's words, when he first set foot on the moon, " so many small steps, for the nations , a great step for humanity." Max

Hey Dirk! The idea you propose is theoretical ( still), but interesting . It all depends on the size of the asteroid. Create a cabin around it and then take advantage of the heat accumulation of a closed environment as a source of energy, take advantage of the presence of water to produce energy and with this energy "work" the asteroid to extract raw materials. Water could be, when present, the source of energy to drive a Stirling engine that uses steam to generate the motion. Pair the engine to a generator (alternator) and thus obtain usable energy from the tools and extraction tools. Why not solar panels energy ? They are more bulky and in space we always move with vehicles of carefully measured dimensions. Reflective mirrors of much smaller sizes can concentrate sunlight on the kettle and generate steam that in a closed cycle returns water . Again we think , we study and then ...

У меня уже есть в голове проект "Паровой двигатель для метеорита" В космосе не надо топливо из нефти, это не экологично и не экономно. Водяных капель в космосе очень много, что бы его собрать в ёмкости для жидкости. А в космосе и паром можно управлять метеорит. Нужны только математические вычисления и конструкция цифрового парового двигателя. В последствии на метеорите можно пробурить помещении для завода по переработки сырья.

Our planet we begin to know it in its mechanisms only from a few decades ago . From the geological point of view it is a continuous scramble between what is on the surface and what is in the depths of the Earth . Some examples ; The Ring Of Fire that develops in the Pacific Ocean with all its eruptions represents the regeneration of the soil both emerged and in the depths of the ocean. : In the Atlantic Ocean and in part of the Antarctic sub Seas is the immersion of the Earth's mantle . That part that slides under other surface layers (in the geological sense) to return to the warmest part of our planet reuniting with the still melted parts under the mantle , that solid part that makes up the crust on which we live. Another example or signal of how the planet behaves we detect it when archaeologists discover the vestiges of past civilizations ; under meters of Earth. No one buried them those vestiges (if not perhaps in some rare case) are slowly sunk with the phenomenon called burrow : 10 cm of burrow every 100 years. What our civilization has instead done in this area is not only to bury the crap that we produce daily, but affect in an absolute sense the very future of the human species and the planet as an ideal habitat for the development of life. Realizing it today is almost certainly later; the reduction of pollutant emissions until they are reset to zero between 2050 and 2070 is summed algebraically with the release of the greenhouse gas methane and carbon dioxide) that are contained in the permafrost getting a nice scratch that, however, we sum as a product, even with just the simple breathing, by about two billion people who will populate the Earth in 2070. We build in our small of individuals a more conscious mindset and try to waste less resources even if this should collide with the typical development model of our times. It's about the survival systems of our "Spaceship Earth".Let's not be surprised if the Earth has a fever and behaves like an organism attacked by a disease. The planet's antibodies try to rebalance existing mechanisms . What are the mechanisms? mass extinctions with the affirmation of new species due to changes in living conditions, extreme events such as superstorms or deep tremors with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions with global impact ( example are those of the Phlegraean Fields or the Yellowstone that, in distinct eras, have redrawn the genetic map of living beings).

there are types of matter (and elements) that are not on the periodic table of elements that are taught in your science classes. for instance, there is phillip schneider, a government geologist, who worked on building deep underground military bases.... (get the book, 'phillip schneider' by arthur berkeley, and look him up on youtube.) he had actual specimens of elements and metals that are not known by conventional science. before he was murdered, he had a specimen of a metal that, if i am correct, is element 140 or something in the 130s, (i need to jog my memory on this one) i think it is called corbomyte.....it is very heavy, and super-stable. this, when the periodic table we were taught in our 7th grade science classes, told us that it was a mere 104 elements, and that was all that there is in the cosmoverse.... (they lied) and, on top of that, there is matter, that is what one could call, metaphysical, which would not even be on any periodic table of elements, at all, that could have the properties of physical matter, and, be literally indestructible, when formed into an object, (such as the hull of a spaceship, or parts of a machine) or, even a person's body. so, anything is possible. we just need to get outside-the-box, and gain access to the more-esoteric things that have been kept sequestered from us.... science, as we know it, is billions of years behind the science (and the metaphysical) that is used by the off-worlders, and, some of those who are conducting experiments in the deep underground and covert off-world military bases....
