“Everywhere humans have been in space, we leave some trash behind. We now
want to clean up space to avoid the growing risks of collisions and to make
sure we don't have the kind of event portrayed in 'Gravity.'”
Director of the Australian National
University Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at Mount Stromlo
Matthew Colless commenting on the Australian Government plan to use Lasers to
remove Space Debris
You’re main Qualifications for such a job?
You’d have to be good at games like Star
Defender 4 or even Star Wars
Starfighter as plans are afoot to basically shoot down the debris with Lasers
as explained in “Pew
pew! Scientists hatch plan to Laser-blast space junk”, published March 10,
2014 2:10 PM PDT by Amanda Kooser, CNET News
and “Take
that, space junk! Australian scientists to zap debris with Lasers”,
published Monday 10 March 2014 03.36 GMT, The
UK Guardian.
That is, if the US$90 million initiative as describe in “Lasers
to clean up space junk”, published March 7th 2014, Australian National University gets off the
ground. The members of the CRC are as listed below:
1. The
Australian Government
2. NASA's
Ames Research Center
3. Lockheed
Martin
4. Optus
5. EOS
Space System Australia
Probably might have some connection to NASA (National Aeronautical and
Space Administration) launching their US$35000 Asteroid Data Hunter series
starting on Monday March 17th 3014 to recruit amateur astronomers to
spot Asteroids before they kill us all as noted in “NASA
asks citizen scientists to become 'Asteroid hunters'”, published March 10,
2014 3:33 PM PDT by Dara Kerr, CNET News
and “NASA
offers $35,000 to ‘citizen scientist’ asteroid hunters”, published March
11, 2014 By Trevor Mogg, DigitalTrends.
Not sure what NASA plans to do, but I hope it’s something to do with Directed
Energy Weapons. If so, then it would be best to include Boeing. Boeing has
already been testing of their Boeing HEL MD 10 KW Laser as explained in my blog article
entitled “Boeing
HEL MD 10 KW Laser successfully Tested shooting down Mortar Rounds and Drones -
Portability and stability under Fire are Burning Issues for this Star Wars
Future Weapon”.
Global Initiative needed to
clean Space Junk – Telecom Providers need to get involved
A forever optimist, I’m suspecting that this initiative needs to be a
global initiative and include Weapons Systems Contractors and the Designers of
Satellites, possibly the Telecom Providers themselves. These as they are
indirectly responsible for leaving the Space Junk up there in the first place
as many of those satellites belong to them!
Recycle Now Jamaica Project not only includes the Government of Jamaica
but also the very same companies, dubbed The Plastic 7, that produced the PETE
(Polyethylene Terephthalate) Bottles that are littering our drains and gullies.
Thus it’s nice to see the Developed World Countries copying an initiative, even
if in spirit, that’s taking Shape in the Developing World.
I just wish it was a little more International and involved those
responsible for designing, launching and using those very same
Telecommunications Satellites, including the Telecom Providers, the NSA
(National Security Agency) and the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).
In the meantime, I’m practicing on beating my high scores in Star
Defender 4 or even Star Wars
Starfighter to shoot down Asteroids or Space Debris Non-Stop (2014) .
Here’s the link to my favourite video Games to start practicing to do the
same:
