ARTEMIS!

 Back to the Moon?

It is claimed that this four person mission is a fly around and not a landing, so why send four, when it could be done with less, unless some form of landing is to be attempted just to check-out what was left can be re-used!

Maybe China and Russia have already made out and are building their join southern base camp, what a blow would that be to the United States and Europe?

But maybe that 70's space race is not a big deal anymore and more collaboration missions will be undertaken to explore the moons of our Solar System than wondering off the the nearest star!

The final frontier has much to offer up in visiting many places and wonders still near and far?

CONCORDE!

 Joint French-British Venture?

It is now the 50th anniversary of this supersonic civilian airline that was grounded after the Paris crash some 25 years ago, and despite many attempts to replace it nothing as yet has come to the fore!

The U.S. have a smaller test version, which is making some headway but as yet the past and present promises have come to nothing?

Over the years the billionaire Sir Richard Branson has wanted to restart the programmne but have been blocked by the British government, because after the accident at Paris, it was thought that the aircraft was vulnerable to ISIS inspired attacks!

Other reasons may have to do with aviation fuel consumption and zero carbon issues, the other is limited build and passengers, despite the Paris/London U.S. routes were the mainstay of the aircraft, with Singapore also operating it a replacement might go down very well if nations cooperated more so?

Pirated Crude!

 It will be hard to sell it On?

The U,S, now have five crude oil tankers seized and no one with any sense will want to buy them, since the sanctions on Venezuela are not UN, Congress or Internationally approved and the U.S. President is discovering it is hard to get rid of stolen goods!

His justification will not work for the oil companies ethos to both update and recover the industry, when it appears to be colonized and taken without a Internationally recognized treaty?

Meanwhile the capture of Greenland will be another headache for a leader who refuses now to drill and dig in his own backyard and create those promised Jobs.

New fuel for Shipping!

 Cheaper than the Electric engines for the New Year?

It is amazing that this has now been discovered and that battery powered tramps working on a loop keep steady power, something that could be adapted in the U.K. for the London Underground Circle line and also the clockwork orange in Glasgow in Scotland!

If investment could open the Hirwaun loop in south-Wales it would be an eye opener for travel and business, with many other applications in Cardiff and elsewhere?

Military drones are becoming more effective in the Ukraine and its security situation with Russia, but this is not same in the Middle-East, so one has to wonder is it really true or just British/European propaganda!

Despite all the advances, it looks like the U.S. will start mining coal again and the fossil fuel issues is not going away with the piracy of the high seas, driving prices up for all?

Happy New Year and a peaceful Eastern-Christmas!

FATHER CHRISTMAS!

 Is on His Way?

No matter how old you are lets keep our Father Christmas, who gifts his gifts to children and all at heart and may this be a peaceful Christmas season for all the different denominations, east and west!

By tradition he is coming on his sleigh from the north pole, but one is not sure how he operated down under, and with come gifts for good ones and not for naughty ones?

St. Nicolas of Greece is the one who gave toys to the children in a village were he lived and this is marked by the feast day on the 15th, which is also Chanukkah the festival of lights in the Jewish faith and both religions are combined in many ways and share much!

The United states will be monitoring Him as he flies over N-America also a good time for the U.S. Air and Space forces to check their missile defenses from the cold war era?

Happy Christmas and a peaceful New year to All!

Venezuela!

 U.S. Invasion coming Soon?

The training videos off the Puerto-Rico look impressive, but will they be able to land without loss. one thinks that there will be casualties and loss for what, more oil and a change of government under the guise of fighting drug crime!

Meanwhile the pardoning of the Honduran president makes the whole affair hypocritical, because peace will not be achieved in any of the Presidents ventures, just the bluster of his own aged dementia, like the guy before him!

It is at this time hard to know what new tech may be deployed and how good it will work or not, the marine landings look impressive when not under fire and we cannot be sure if other nations will not step in to help or China attack Japan, Taiwan and others with N-Korea, will Iran and the Houthis attack Israel and what will Russia do, may hit the U.K. and Europe?

Trump has already told his military to prepare for the third world-war and it looks like its coming sooner than we thought!

More A.I. for the Police!

 Robotic K-9's and Robotic assisted car drivers?

Tech is now moving very fast across the globe in relation to security, military and the police and within the next twenty-five years we will see the introduction of the robot K9 and the police robot driver, as well as a host of tech in the vehicles that is connected to drones and other flying devices!

This is to be a revolution in its own right, as the helicopter may become obsolete over the next 75 years for a drone and robotic model? 

With the expansion into Mars and other mining colonies across our solar system the helicopter may be an essential craft, for transporting people and machinery, if not rescue and the possibilities are to be endless with A.I!
