Is
it possible for a small country such as Jamaica to go into Space as I’ve long
hoped in my Geezam blog article entitled “Yuri
Gagarin and Obama Space Privatization – How Jamaica Can Benefit”?
I’ve
been asking myself this question ever since I’ve begun writing article on
discoveries of Exoplanets such as Gliese 832 c orbiting a Red Dwarf Star Gliese
832 located 16.1 Light years located in the Constellation Grus as I’d
chronicled in my blog
article entitled “Dr.
Robert Wittenmyer Team discovers Gliese 832 c – Supersize my Exoplanet Please
with a Serving of Super-Venus”.
Most
recently the groundbreaking discovery of direct evidence of Gravitational Waves
by the BICEP2 (Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization) Team as
reported in March 2014 as reported in “BICEP2
Team Admit Breakthrough Evidence For Big Bang Could Just Be Dust”,
published June 23, 2014 by Justine Alford, I
Fucking Love Science has made me ask the question.
Worse,
aside from myself coming up with a design for a University based Telescope
dubbed COITUS (Cloud Optical/Infrared Telescope University Telescope) as
explained in my blog
article entitled “ATLAST,
James Webb Telescope and E-ELT - Bigger Space and Ground-based Telescopes for
the Planet Hunters”, I’ve yet to see any innovation in the development,
Design or even construction of Telescopes in Jamaica.
So
I put the question out there.
Where
is Jamaica in the Race to conquer Space? How come we’re not building any
Telescopes, be they Optical Telescopes, Infrared, X-Ray or Gamma Ray
Spectrophotometers, or Radio Telescopes?
Patria Kay-Aarons in Space
– Weather Girl can become Jamaica’s first Astronaut
Especially
from the Jamaica Meteorological Association and especially from such outspoken Members such as Patria Kay-Aarons,
who is CVM TV’s Meteorologist and coincidentally CEO of Sweetie Confectionery,
a Candy maker as explained in my blog article
entitled “Sweetie
Confectionery CEO Patria-Kaye Aarons to launch Jamaican Flavoured Candy - May
the Force be with the Weather Presenter as it's Cloudy with a Chance of
Meatballs”!

This
as building Telescopes should have been a project undertaken by the
Meteorological Association of Jamaica to not only observe and report on the
Sunrise and Sunset Cycles. Rather, Meteorologists should also be reporting on
the procession of the Planets in our Solar System as well as report on News
relating to Astronomy.
After
all, that’s what the “Meteor” in their name implies, with the full name
“Meteorologist” implying that reports of activity in Outer Space should also be
a part of the Weather Broadcasting. The Technology behind how these things are
designed isn’t rocket science. And we can build most of them, at a cost of
course.
Patria
Kay-Aarons is the perfect specimen, being in her late twenties and a perfect
physical specimen. Most importantly, she’s a Meteorologist and thus most
qualified to be place into Low-Earth Orbit. Selecting her is the easy part as
if she makes it back home, she’d be made a National Hero and be given the Keys
to the City of Kingston. Enough media exposure to kickstart her Sweetie company
off the ground.
Now
for the hard, Technical part! To build such a Space Vehicle would merely
require the services of the following:
1.
CVM TV – Microwave and Satellite
Uplink/Downlink Services
2.
Jamaica Defense Force – Ground Station
Controller for Mission Control
3.
Tank-Weld – Building the Space Vehicle
4.
IGL Gas Limited – Providing
Hydrogen/Helium Mixture and other gases for the Space Vehicle
5.
Grace Kennedy – Provide Vacuum-sealed
Food
A
Space Vehicle needed to go to the edge of Space in the Low Altitude Circular Orbit,
roughly some 100 to 300 miles (161 to 483 km) on the outer Edge of the Earth’s
Stratosphere as described in my blog article
entitled “Google
and O3B Network Limited partner on Satellite Broadband Project – How to set up
a Satellite Broadband Network”. To achieve that height, a specially build
vessel, cylindrical in shape and double hulled need to be built by Talk-Weld.
It
would be hoisted aloft via a set of Stratospheric Helium Balloons filled with a
mixture of Helium/Hydrogen Gas for better altitude control. This Stratospheric
Balloon which would be large enough to hoist a person such as Patria Kay-Aarons
aloft inside the Space Vessel, which would be roughly the same size as an
Elevator Carriage.
Once
aloft, Ground Station based Microwave Radio Link mounted atop CVM TV Antennas would
be able to beam down live Video and Audio images from Space as the astronaut Patria
Kay-Aarons reports on exactly what she sees while floating aloft. As the
vehicle would be controlled via satellite uplink from the Ground Station manned
by the JDF (Jamaica Defense Force) who’d provide Telemetry support, she’d
basically just report what she sees.
Eventually
the Stratospheric Balloon with Space Vehicle in tow would reach up into the
Stratosphere, at which point they’d burst. Parachutes designed by the Jamaica
Defense Force would be deployed via explosive charges and gently guide the
craft safely back to earth.
The
landing and flight would be controlled by them and they’d ensure that she’d
land in a country friendly to Jamaica, preferably in the Caribbean. Just makes
sure that Patria Kay-Aarons packs, along with the food from Grace Kennedy, a
change of clothing as well as her Travel Documents.
So
folks, any details I missed? You can leave your comments below. Thanks
