Moon Energy: A good or bad thing?
Recently for those who follow Space and Science news, scientist have recently discovered that there is an element called Helium-3 which is a special chemical that is rare on Earth but apparently abundant on the moon . According to an article found at MSNBC.com found at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26179944/ . They say that "The fuel in this case is helium-3, a lighter isotope of the helium used in balloons. In high energy collisions, helium-3 fuses with other nuclei to release more energy and less waste than the reactions in traditional nuclear reactors." and...
"Just 40 tons of this stuff has enough potential energy to meet the total U.S. electricity demand for a year. However, there is almost no helium-3 on Earth. The closest supply is on the moon.
Several space agencies, notably in China, Russia and India, have mentioned helium-3 as a potential payoff for their lunar projects. "
Overall the environmental impacts is a very positive thing knowing that as we are daily depleting our Earth from all resources and melting at a very alarming rate and switching to a more abundant source would help stop the nuclear fusion rush which the world has entered over the last fifty years.
The story goes, that this helium-3 was used for a new environmental and cost efficient way to send one of the largest tourist trips into outer space and back. The results in the dream... millions dead. From a chemical reaction, our bodies were not capable to handle this new chemical bringing brought into the air causing us to have broken lungs and more susceptible to the cordycept fungus virus.
Describing the events leading up to the situation, here are some excerpts from Sunset Into the Eastern Shore:
Malachi first describing about the space trip using Helium-3 -
Parking the motorcycle, Malachi takes off his helmet exposing his dark long hair and skin for he is Middle Eastern decent. “How was your first day at Barnes today? Is he finally deciding to add bombs to his collection of goods?” said Malachi. “Oh yeah! I forgot! Jonathan, they are soon going to launch a collective space shuttle expedition for rich tourist to the moon. They are using this material from the moon that will bring non-nuclear fusion that will reduce the pollution and carbon monoxide that is admitted into the atmosphere everyday. Apparently they have some type of mechanized machine that is being sent there. Interesting eh?”
The BBC report on the space flight and Jonathan's conversation with Ruth -
Finally the science and health news came on, always Jonathan’s favorite part; today it seemed that BBC was focusing more on space and NASA. “Three weeks from today will mark the historical launch of the Alpha Lunar space flight fifteen ships will be rocketed to the moon and back around. Alpha Lunar is offering civilian flights at $1,000,000 a piece to fly around the moon on a five day journey. After discovering the combination from fusion and a rare substance found only on the moon, this NASA funded company was able to find the miracle formula without using fossil fuels for space flight. Over forty people have signed up for the flight and all have gone through two months of rigorous training, making it the most expensive tourist trip in human history.” ... Ruth handed Jonathan his cell phone and said, “By the way, Malachi called your phone, it was ringing, I guess you were in a trance with your fusion space flight story.” With a smile on her face she continued, “Technology is booming, I read you can see the launch at night. You know this is going to be a milestone event, almost bigger than landing on the moon. Commercial space flight and non-fossil fuels? We are entering a new era of exploration.”
And the deadly outcome (spoilers ahead) :
The same officer who detained the group came in and said, “Sir, you need to come and see this.” “What is it?” said Isaac. “It is America, people are dying by the thousands.” said the officer. “Guys,” said Isaac, “come with me; I want to see what is going on.” Changing the channel from Russian news channel to BBC, they sat and saw what was going on in America, “Apparently as of 9:00 PM, eastern standard time yesterday, reports all across the United states and parts of Mexico and Canada, with a wave of deaths coming from an unknown cause. There have been cases from all towns and cities of people fainting and going into catatonic shock, so far, over 100 fatalities have been reported and hospitals and morgues are filled and closed to accommodate the rapid growing number of sick and deceased. Some scientists are speculating that if the shuttle launches to the moon have been a cause of this mysterious out break. They claim that the mixture between fusion and a certain element found on the moon can be harmful or fatal if inhaled since our bodies have never encountered this substance making our system immune from the bacteria that may emanate from the mineral. As of now borders are being closed in America with all international and domestic travel grounded to prevent more death. There are large outbreaks of riots and looting major cities while homeland security and the National Guard tries to neutralize the increasing crime. People have been asked to remain indoors and use air filter or gas masks if you have one. More news will be reported as the story progresses, here are some eye witness reports…” Turning off the television, Isaac walks over to the wall and puts his head on it and others like Megan, Esther, and Noah begins to weep. “We’re entering a new age,” said Isaac, “the world that we know will never be the same. Jonathan, I am still trying to understand why you are here, but for now, you should all rest, there are a lot of decisions and planning needs to be made.”
Can this all be leading up for something more than we know? This incident goes into deeper detail over the next two books about the effect it will have on the world and the reason it might of have been caused. If this all true, I guess I already know my fate and I will only have to act on it because I have my own small cameo part in the third book of the Awaiting the Twilight trilogy called Saeglopur (Lost at Sea) so I must be careful then because if Virgin Galactic uses such a material around 2014 (when the book approximately takes place) then we all must be careful! Sometimes dreams are more than they seem, they are telling us the future.
The Cat Returns!
Over the span of last night and this morning, I watched one of Hayao Miyazaki's produced movie, The Cat Returns.
Pretty much to sum this up in words, this is probably one of the most unique sequel that has ever been made in my opinion. The movie following The Cat Returns is a very lovely flick called Whisper of the Heart which is a lovely story about a girl in Junior High School who spends time writing and reading but the story slowly moves into a love story with a guy who has a crush on this girl but she thinks he is the greatest guy in the world but they are both shy. Usually your typical golden love story. Any who, this sequel is about the story the girl first wrote in the first movie... or is it?
The story is about another shy girl named Haru who happens to save the cat prince from being destroyed by a H2, or actually a semi-truck, and eventually she is brought into the Cat Kingdom where she is going to be forced to marry the cat prince as a gift for entering the royalty of the cats. She gets her self into all these random situations that eventually leads her self into misunderstandings and many adventures. The cat baron is back! The cat returns. A very cute movie, Hayao Miyazaki had not that much hand in this movie as Whisper of the Heart had which made this movie a little choppy but over all it had the beautiful touch that Studio Ghibli puts into their films.
This movie gets a 4.0 / 5.0, a very great film, go see it if you want to be cheered up!
