Lasers and laser-accelerated plasma can make spacecraft travel to the Moon, and even outside our solar system.

Nasa plans to use the laser beam to transport spacecraft to the orbital trajectory and even to the Moon. Using a laser as a booster can make a cheap way to transport spacecraft from the Earth to the moon station and back. Maybe, someday in the future, this system transports the spacecraft to other solar systems.

The idea is that the laser beam creates the plasma or heat air under the craft. When the craft rises to the orbiter. A laser that orbits Earth will start to push the spacecraft to the Moon. Then, the spacecraft can land by using regular rocket engines.

Another laser system that shoots the spacecraft back to Earth can locate on Moon.

The laser beam can vaporize hydrogen or water that is in the rocket's fuel tank and make it travel to Earth. In some simplified models the parabolic mirrors that are vaporizing propellant can use to send spacecraft back to Earth from the Moon.

But the laser-accelerated ion bullets can use to send spacecraft even out from the solar system. The idea is that the high-power laser ray can push ions and electrons in one direction. The idea is that accelerator sends a cloud of electrons and protons to the spacecraft. The electrons and protons have different polarities. And that thing keeps the high-speed plasma bullet in form.

The plasma bullets can also use to turn the incoming asteroid out from the Earth. NASA plans to use the 10 MW spaceborne lasers in that system. There is the possibility that this kind of laser-accelerated ion system can use antimatter plasma. The idea is that the antiprotons- and positrons are created by using a thin gold layer or magnetic field that turns their spin to the opposite. Then those antimatter particles can shoot against incoming asteroids.

And the same systems that are pushing spacecraft to the moon and other places in the solar system can use to turn asteroids. The same system can also use to destroy satellites and ballistic missiles. But in that case, the antimatter is a little bit too powerful a tool.

Plasmonic waves can make new waves in quantum technology.

"LSU researchers have made a significant discovery related to the fundamental properties and behavior of plasmonic waves, which can lead ot the development of more sensitive and robust quantum technologies. Credit: LSU" (ScitechDaily, Plasmonics Breakthrough Unleashes New Era of Quantum Technologies) Plasmonic waves in the quantum gas are the next-generation tools. The plasmonic wave is quite similar to radio waves. Or, rather say it, a combination of acoustic waves and electromagnetic waves. Quantum gas is an atom group. In those atom groups, temperature and pressure are extremely low. The distance of atoms is long. And when an electromagnetic system can pump energy to those atoms. But the thing in quantum gas is that the atoms also make physical movements like soundwaves. It's possible. To create quantum gas using monoatomic ions like ionized noble gas. In those systems, positive (or negative) atoms push each other away. When the box is filled with quantum gas and som...

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real?

What is the difference between TR-3A and TR-3B? And are those planes real? Is TR-3B (0) "Black Triangle UFO" or is it only the piece of paper? The study project, what is used to create advanced ideas for use of the nuclear-powered aircraft. Or is it the study project or black budget aircraft, where lost 2,3 trillion dollars (1)of the stealth bomber were gone. In this text is things, that might seem very difficult to accept, and when we are thinking about things like doubling the object or making it smaller by using huge layers of energy, nothing denies to test those things. But were those tests successful, there is no data about that in public Internet, so we must say that things like doubling the human or aircraft can be tested, but the results can be unknown. But in the source two is the tale, what seems like impossible, those men, who got Noble Prize put at first time one atom to the box, and hit it with photon one photon in the box and hit it with t...

The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862)

Image I The interesting coincidence between USS Sea Shadow (1982) and CSS Virginia (1862) Far away from its time is the thing, that you might notice when you see those two images. The upper one (Image I) is portraying the modern naval USS Sea Shadow (IX-529)(1) experimental Stealth ship, which was created by Lockheed-Martin, and the image below (Image II) is portraying the CSS Virginia (2), the ironclad from the Civil War Era. The thing why the hull of the CSS Virginia, what is ironclad from 1862 is that the ammunition of the cannons would not transfer their impact energy to the hull of the ship. And the reason why Sea Shadows hull has this form is that it should point the radar echo away from the hull. The thing that I must say that CSS Virginia is far ahead its time because that structure is effective against the explosive ammunition, and the slanting armor of tanks like T-34 and Sherman have made them effective. But for some reason, the use of slanting ...
