Some believe that the International Space Station solved the issues of the race for space and the types of military ramp ups we saw with the cold war. And indeed the cooperative nature of such programs between the Russian Cosmonauts and the American Astronauts has yielded a new level of peace. But we see a new race for space is brewing with China and we have lots of competition with the European Union for Mars unmanned aerial vehicle and robotic exploration.

We are also seeing some commercial applications and free market competition for the commercialization of space. Most notable Burt Rutan’s Mojave Desert Group and SpaceShip One with some 38,000 deposits taken from would be space tourists who will be paying an average of some $200,000.00 each to go into space and land safely back on Earth’s terra firma.

Will China put a man on the moon soon? Yes, but as NASA scientists say not by this June. But let’s not count China out, as even the United States roadmap for Space is a decade away and is nothing less than a slow boat to China. Some are rather excited about the prospects of putting a colony on the moon, yet we should have done that in late seventies or early eighties, as now we are looking rather silly saying it will take 25 years for a manned mission to Mars and 15-20 years to establish a lunar colony. For such a Super Power like the United States, that is a dismal and pathetic if not totally modest goal.

Surely we can do better than that. However with this said expect greater advances in BioTech, Nanotech, robotics, new materials and propulsion in 2006, as part of the United States Roadmap to Space, which is a very good thing indeed. More on this in 2006.

Presently you can buy a robotic dog and they have robotic cats. The other day I saw a robotic dinosaur, don’t worry it’s only two foot tall, at BestBuy, Wal-Mart and Circuit City. I suppose lure or other robotic dog or a robotic makes a lot of sense. I mean you do not have to pick up the dog crap and you save a lot of money in food.

Yet your robotic dog will still bark at intruders and keep you company. A robotic animal in your home may also come with other features for instance a CD changer, a WiFi a system or even video surveillance camera which runs remote it can be sent anywhere over the Internet in real-time. Pretty cool stuff indeed for humans in the present period.

Soon we will have artificially intelligent robotic androids, which will mow the lawn, wash the car, clean your clothes and take out the trash. If you have not converted to a robotic dog, then your artificially intelligent robotic android may be able to walk your dog for you. Of course, diet failure is not your fault you lazy bum. But what happens if your real dog dies in your dear robotic dog and your robotic android is scheduled every day to walk your dog. Your robotic dog obviously will have a feature to take a walk, this feature of artificial intelligence was programmed into your robotic dog to help you as a human state thin.

Since your robotic dog is programmed to go for a walk and your artificially intelligent robotic android is prescheduled to walk the dog in programmed to do so. Then you will send them out every day around the neighborhood. And if you feel like it; your dog can videotape the entire walk and all the other robotic dogs and androids walking around. The future may be a very interesting place. This is your neighborhood on robots.

It has been proposed the NASA build planetary exploration robotic swarm beach balls, which can bounce along the surface of a planet and roll as they collect data. Could something like this actually work?

One online think tank member believes so. But how much power does this “design” take? Approximately 180 Watts to 300 watts ought to do the trick. How much does the “design” weigh? A Beach Ball times three plus electronics, Estimate 5-12 Lbs. How does this “design” go up small inclines? It pushes out the skin on the ball as it moves. It uses forward momentum plus pushing out bumps for propulsion.

Would this design be remote controlled, or are you saying that a bouncing ball can self-navigate in real time, despite the disorienting effects of rolling and bouncing? It would use net-centric swarming techniques and the nodes or motes used in such technologies to communicate with the other balls and move together. The sensors in side would stay stationary the ball moves the core does not, but can when it bounces. There are tumblers used in aircraft gyros and such to help with that problem.

You know one think tanker stated; “A lot of the early airplane “designs” looked good and worked – on paper. When “reduced to practice” (i.e. actually built and tested), well…., maybe not so good.”

Indeed, but why be afraid to try and solve the problems as they come. This idea came from consideration of laser aligning micro-satellites, smart dust communication, MAV optic flow sensors, white papers on the subject, Haptic research at MIT, sea life tracking sensor communication MEMs, net-centric theory, robotic swarming research at Carnegie Mellon. It is merely putting all that technology together, no biggie.

All it needs is funding. Quite confident that even if it is “well not so good” as you indicate at first on the results side that all problems would be conquered to win, that is to say achieve intended and desired if not better than stated goals. Actually I do not see how it could not work and even have some ideas to allow these things to fly with reduced wait via prisms inside and laser powered from afar. Laser shoots beam, heats up prism, that heat super excited gas molecules inside and you can fly them too. Good for many uses especially in less gravity settings like the moon or mars. Looks like the bouncing beach ball has balance and brains to back it up. Consider this in 2006.

When jogging, walking, or traveling at night the placement of lighting can add or detract from the much necessary safety factor. Each type of travel, whether a motorcycle, boat, aircraft, or even human powered walking will require a slightly different strategy in design. How so you ask?

Well, for instance, I can remember when I was much younger racing thru the canyons on my motorcycle, which had a very bright square headlight. It was very easy to over drive the headlight around corners and then all of a sudden a deer would be in or along side the road. When you hit a bump it took a split second to get your bearings back and that meant letting off the gas and that means slowing down, defeating the purpose of racing around for thrill. So for a night headlight on a motorcycle a flat oval beam would be best and two of them; one facing close and one far. The far light could be less oval in its signature than the near light as it needs to shine far ahead without interfering with oncoming cars otherwise a disoriented driver might hit you head on.

In addition to those who make reference of reference points changes (light reference planes) while traveling and the need for a constant horizon ahead to help the brain-eye coordination, this is also an important fact to consider. And it is especially important in aviation landing lights on small aircraft. Without such properly mounted lights, which could shine at a distance one could increase an ever so slight vertigo effect. I know when flying at night turning base to final in a small single engine Piper Super Cub, as the light swung around you needed to be looking out, not closing your eyes or staring at anything inside the cockpit.

For someone walking, marching or hiking thru the forest or just over uneven stricken concrete sidewalks from tree roots proper strategies employed in lighting would prevent tripping and falling, especially if the individual were solely relying on the light they were carrying or had mounted to them; for instance no streetlights or moon.

The more one got use to relying on the light the more critical the issue is, having gotten use to using the light to maintain their bearings. In an area such as a neighborhood you know where such hazards are of course and which houses are prone to having kids Big Wheels left on the sidewalk, but for walking in an area you are not so familiar with, there is a problem to a much larger degree of course. And for a light for walkers or joggers, the beam and the strength or brightness of the light matter immensely.

When designing any type of mounted light or hand held flashlight designers must be certain of how it will be used and use such knowledge to help people and users. One must consider the lost sole in the forest, sailboat owner walking on a dock or even a couple walking home from a BBQ in the dark with a few drinks in them. I challenge engineers and designers to strive to bring the best possible lighting technologies to the human race as our safety and well being depend on it, please be thinking here.
