Futuristic Laser Space Engine Passes Its First Test

Someday it could get us to the moon within hours and Mars within days

“In 2013, Y.K. Bae scored funding from NASA’s Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program to study an amazing new kind of propulsion: Thrust that comes not from liquid rockets but from lasers continuously fired at the spacecraft, which would steadily gain momentum in the frictionless vacuum of space. It’s called the Photonic Laser Thrust system, and it could drastically reduce the amount of fuel needed for space missions. And now, Bae has announced that lab tests of the technology were successful.In the experiment, Bae fired a laser at a one-pound mock spaceship on a frictionless track and successfully produced thrust. The laser bounced continuously between two mirrors inside a cavity at the bottom of the simulated spaceship, building momentum of 1.1 milliNewtons. We’re not talking about a lot of thrust. For example, the full sized, 6.2-million-pound Saturn V rocket that sent the Apollo 11 moon mission to space needed about 34.5 million Newtons of thrust to lift off. It was many, many orders of magnitude more powerful. However, the goal of the laser system isn’t to get things off the ground. The goal is to boost a spacecraft’s momentum when it’s already in space—which, if you can reach it, requires much less energy than getting a big, heavy hunk of metal off the ground.”

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

My ipods, those things are creatures all their own

Yerrr ma best friend!

Holmes Urgings

Urges and desires are often controllable, we fight them every day, hell we fight ourselves all the time… We bargain and delay our imaginings so that we can appeal to something or someone else… But theres a limit i suppose to where one could draw the line, and I guess I have done that lately… I am in the depths of a Holme’s Urging, where I find myself in the depths of self exploration, questioning and indulging in the tiniest of things; considering factors once removed from the table by bias. In the process you reject all other things not related to your issues and task and save for those persistent enough to seek you out you find yourself alone… Which blows but to that same end you realize the things you want… I know what i want… Yet I’ve found it as elusive as ever to my perception. I suppose I’d need to by my time but lately things have pushed me in a very, dare I say focused sort of state… priorities… priorities… I need to do what I’d hate to bare through…

OHHHHHhhh yeah! Spar Ops!

Evasive

We often joke about such things like you and I, how we are and how we love brings subtle tension, like slow nudgings of unrest in our souls. I smile as I mask my truths in hyperbole and faux romantic cheese. What are we? Nothing? You speak warnings, pushing away but I feel that it is only in fear. Your warning nobody but yourself... Why can't you answer the question, "what are we?" I could compare us to Orpheus and Eurydice, compare myself to a stone and you the water, maybe I could compare you to a butterfly and I the watcher... No matter the form your nature define our reactions, I can't have you for you flee when in the face of the serious, when I leave to follow my passions, you creep upon my sides watching and wondering... In a way I guess it'll never matter the question, the answer holds no meaning while you reject me.

Took like two seconds to type toxoplasmosis and less fear into Google in order to find evidence that yes, they can cause animals to show less fear…

So yeah, I’m all for anti-fear mongering but come on tumblr folk, not everybody pulls facts out of their butts. We just don’t have a uniform understanding of how nature my effect us.

Though seriously, rabies probably would be a better fear inducing thing to say.

More importantly, dude nice squirrelbro!

(In short, don't trust anybody, look into it yourself, cause the claim "no known association" is false, especially since squirrelbro is related to rats and are hunted by presators.)

Make A Fucking Difference, Share A Life With Someone New

Sigh... Guns aren't the issue; people are... Why is it that people refuse to realize that. Removing guns would be the same as taking a bully's food, in the end if he wants to beat a kid up, the fact that you took his food doesn't inspire any sort of responsibility on his part. Thousands of weapons are brought into this country illegally and sold to people who do not have the population's interest at heart. Looking at our society and the future that'll come I personally wish to have the right to carry a weapon while I travel and while I'm at home. I have a family to protect, and my own life to look forward to, I don't want to be unable to defend my interest should some asshole attempt to take advantage of me because I can't own a weapon. If people really want to make a difference they all need to petition for the evaluation of and the push for better care and earlier response for individuals of all mental states.

The ignorance and the disrespect towards individuals and to people in general is a large factor in causing the negative social issues we see today. Even more so in a society with such a large gap constantly growing in how one can connect and bond with their peers. There are always a few people who can't be stopped and will do horrible things to others regardless of what limits you place on them. But what about everyone else in the world we so happily share? Personally I think it’s time we look inside and realize how backwards our society has become and how we constantly evade taking ownership for own flaws. Instead of understanding and realizing how our behaviors are interconnected to the stimuli in our environment , we instead tell others to hold it in, or that there are limits and conditions for certain outlets of expression.

Instead of truly helping each other and working to support one another we get this retarded circle jerk of response. We get a large amount of people, who like to give “positive reinforcement” which is nothing more but a pat on the back and someone telling you how right you are when you most likely aren’t. That is our society today, and it’s not a directly bad thing to have. Yet when you think about it don’t you realize how fake that is? It’s so just too easy to push away and leave people on the sidelines; we reject so many for nothing at all. We avoid people we don’t like for reasons so petty that we have to actually find ways to justify our feelings. We refuse the idea of giving people chances at becoming something closer, we refuse to not only accept but to understand and become involved with another’s flaws. We refuse and are afraid of being told we are the issue and would rather latch on to any statement that pushes blame upon others.

Hell, I guarantee that very few people will even read this all the way through, but for those of you who have, I must ask you one thing. Do you talk to the odd kid at school? Have you’ve gone out of your way to interact with the person who seems kind of lonely? Do you actually try to have a meaningful discussion with that person who just seems to talk and talk all the time? How about the person who annoys you? Do you stop to try and get along with the people who piss you off? Have you’ve tried to get to know the person you make fun of? If you do, have you’ve ever thought about not making fun of them? Do you stop to have a moment with someone you’ve never spoken with before, and not some empty and brief way that ultimately meaningless? Saying hi and asking how someone is doing isn’t a true conversation, it’s a lead into a conversation but it hardly brings anything worthwhile. How about bringing up those social issues, or other now “Taboo” topics nobody seems to want to focus on? Since when should someone hide their opinions and beliefs from people who they wish to befriend? How is it so hard to accept that people are different from each other and that these differences aren’t reason to disown them or harm them? We find ways to distance ourselves from others and push them away and even shame them, and yet we wonder why there are an ever increasing number of disconnected individuals who commit heinous actions upon the innocent.
