The "Starship" space shuttle is one of the most capable space systems in the world.




The "Starship" is the next-generation shuttle. And it can operate almost everywhere because of its VTOL system. The state-of-art computers with advanced artificial intelligence make that kind of shuttle suitable for manned and unmanned missions. 

The high-power computers are making those shuttles very independently operating. Those systems can lift off and land "Starship" automatically. And the "Starship" makes its mission without land crew assistance. So it can capture and return broken satellites. 

The highly advanced AI makes it possible that "Starship" needs only the mission profile. And then the remote controller- or crew member pushes the button. The AI will drive that spacecraft to the point where its goal is. 

That large-scale space shuttle can operate as a space transportation system, and it can carry astronauts to space. It can deliver satellites and other things to the orbiter. The large-size spacecraft can also control the swarms of orbital repairing robots. 

In that case, the man-looking robots that are making repairings for satellites and manned space stations can borrow the computing capacity of the spacecraft. Those repairing robots are acting as a swarm and form the neural network but the large spacecraft can also assist those systems. 

The repairing robot or "EVA" (Enhanced Vehicle Application)-unit might look like a flashlight that has hands. The system operates with rocket engines. And basically, those systems are using similar neural network-based computing that is used in robot swarms. Some of those units are looking like astronauts. They have space suits for protecting their electronics against the solar wind. 

But the "Starship" can use also as a large-scale automatized or manned laboratory. The system would operate under remote control. And that allows making tests also by using poisonous bacteria. The craft can bring those cell cultures back to Earth. Also, those large-scale systems can operate even for years in space. That system can send to the asteroid belt and take samples from there. 

Also, the "Starship" type large-scale space system can have many other missions. They can use to return broken satellites to Earth. And that can keep the orbiting trajectory clean. But also the military personnel can use that kind of craft for returning their spy and other classified satellites to Earth. That denies the hostile operators to get the classified information from those wrecks. Also, the researchers can search for the reasons, why those satellites are broken. So in the laboratory, the crew can search if some spy satellites broke because of ASAT (Anti-satellite) weapon. 

The most dangerous ideas about that kind of large-size spacecraft are weapon applications. Space shuttles are easy to weaponize. And they can use against satellites. Or space shuttles can be dangerous to any target on Earth. 

The spacecraft can drop bombs from the orbiter. Those bombs can be conventional smart weapons that are equipped with the capsule. That allows them to travel through the atmosphere. Or it can deliver robot swarms to the atmosphere. 

There is an interesting theory. That some UFOs are quadcopters that are equipped with stealth shields. Or maybe those shields are making it possible that those quadcopters can shoot to the operational area by using rockets or satellites. 

That spacecraft can shoot those quadcopters into the atmosphere by using pressurized air or rocket boosters. Those quadcopters can cover by the heat shield. And that heat shield can also be made by using stealth technology. 

If those drones are armed, that means they are the most dangerous weapons in the world. They can be used against individual persons. Those quadcopters are excellent assassination tools. 

And that means in the wrong hands. The "Starship" type concepts are extremely dangerous tools. The advancing computer and communication technology make also this kind of negative vision possible. The satellite-controlled drones are dangerous weapons that operators can control even from the other side of the world. And those drones can equip with pistols or rifles which makes them capable weapons in the wrong hands.

The cargo-submarines in the peace and war.


Migaloo-corporation's  submarine yacht concept

The idea of commercial large-scale cargo- and passenger submarines would be impossible in short time ago because submarines were understood as the military equipment, what was reserved for governmental use. But the submarines have very much capacities also in the civil area, and one of them is commercial transportation and cruising. The private submarine and yachts are now coming to markets, and they could revolutionize the ships and transportation at the seas. Of course, there were been scientific submarines before those new concepts are meant for commercial use.


New cargo-submarines can carry passengers and cargo without the need to care about the weather. They might use diesel-electric engines, and sometimes there have been talking to produce the diesel-electric version of the "Typhoon-class submarine, what could carry containers and passengers under the sea. That concept would operate in the Northern area, and that would not need to care about the weather, because the submarine would dive under the ice and waves.  They could also deliver equipment for distant islands,  gas fields, and other places, where is difficult to travel, because of the storms. So the cargo-submarines could operate also in the worst storms like hurricanes, and they could also operate under the ice cap. Below the text is the link in one submarine yacht maker's film, where the Migaloo company introduces the modern commercial submarine, what can be used for cruising and conference.


This concept is quite interesting, because in the future also the military forces might be interested submarines as the platforms for ambitious warfare. Those submarines would base the similar technology, what is used in this private concept. The idea of amphibious support submarines is not new, and in the Second World War, U.S Navy used the submarines to support their operators in Bougainville and the Marshall-islands area, But they could give only the limited support. The French Submarine-cruiser  "Surcouf" took a part of those operations because it very large ammunition gave very much room for the equipment. And also it's 203 mm. cannons hoped to give support for land troops.  But the collision with trawler cut that career in 1942.


The ambitious support submarine would actually be the submarine-version of the Littoral Combat Ship.  In this scenario, the modern navies could have the landing-support ships, what are actually the submarines, what would have the same capacity as the littoral combat ship. Those submarines can operate under the sea, and they can move silently near the target, and then those support vessels can deliver the marines or whatever troops would be used in this operation. Those submarines could operate under the sea, and then suddenly deliver the full-scale amphibious unit to the beach. They can also support the SEAL-scuba-diving teams in their operations.


Amphibious support submarines can use helicopters, what is stored inside the hull, and when they are needed to use, the submarine can rise them to the deck, and then it's in operative use. When we are thinking about 200 meters long submarine, that vessel would have the capacity to make more large-scale operations than normal submarines, what is delivering the SEAL-teams in commando-style operations. That kind of devices would revolutionize the amphibious warfare and allow to make large-scale operations unseen in the coasts.

Christmas is here.

Christmas is here. Now it is Christmas night. The night should be the celebration of mercy. But sometimes that thing causes trauma. Christma...
