NASA's Gateway to the Solar System!
The return to the moon is underway with a new space ship being constructed in the U.S. for a return mission and the establishment of a Moon Base and first human travel to Mars by 2030? The Trump administration believe that with the current technology available all of this can be achieved within the next eleven years!
Wither this is true or not by 2030 NASA hopes that the International Space Station ISS will be defunct and some of its component parts will be cannibalised for the Moon base? At this time there is n mention of reinstating the space shuttle programme which on paper still remains a viable proposal for inter-planetary travel!
Both China and Israel now have probes working on the Moon to gather much needed data on radiation exposure from the Suns solar flares and other problems that were discovered during the Apollo flights back in the 1970's!

Oil and Gas Platforms. Two.
Northern Passage.
Russia and the U.S. will in years to come prosper for the access to Oceans resources, despite the hypocritical lies of the British government who is ruining the U.K investment opportunities in Gas and oil support industries?
New ships are replacing rigs and many jobs will be lost in the ship building industries left in the U.K. but this is not the end? This one ship will have a sister, which will be much bigger and in years to come with trial and error or nations will build for their own needs and sea conditions?
The burning of fossil fuels will not end overnight, but pollution levels in our cities will be cut by the introduction of electric battery powered vehicles and now the possibility of suburban trains! But the power for the national grids of the world and industry will still need cheap electricity that perhaps those without Nuclear energy as yet cannot afford?
Ships are better than rigs being towed out, they if viable will be able to construct a platform on site and then introduce the infrastructure to support and pipe the fuel to conventional shipping! If nothing substantial is found money will be saved by marking the site with a buoy and then moving on to the next area!

The future of the A380?
Limited production and what Alternatives?
It really big the Airbus A380-800 super jumbo and heavy, because of fuel needed for long haul operations! Air France, Qantas Australia, Singapore, Emerites, British Airways, Lufthansa and one two others make up the main customers for this type.
Some of the Gulf states one must say provide luxury than cannot be rivalled in the aviation industry or commercial flight, but this will not be enough to save this wonderful aircraft some alternative role must be found within the next six years to keep it in viable production?
The alternatives may be both the freighter version something huge for FedEx or UPS to get all those Amazon parcels around the world? The other is a military transport version, which would place it on a par with the Russian Antonov An-124 Ruslan and the U.S. Lockheed C-5 Galaxy?

The problem with the aviation industry today is that airlines want smaller or medium sized aircraft, while Boeing and Airbus continue to fight the market with their 787 Dreamliner series and respective A350-900 Extra-wide bodied models!

Cycling Safety?
New laws for road users?
The law will have to be changed in the light of recent events, were a man who killed a pedestrian on a bike with no breaks got off with it? Currently there many other forms of people powered transport on our roads and pavements, such as skate boards?
Collision meant or not will continue to be a problem, when people continue to give up on the right of way and yet expect to covered by Insurance and others laws that do not exist?
With the many new ideas of two wheel travel none of them are as safe, despite in some cases being viable in airports and factories for inspections?
The Bicycle still is up there as King!

It's Christmas. Part-One.
Sleds.
Father Christmas is on his way to bring good kids their presents this season. There are many countries still using animal powered sleds for the Christmas novelty.
But it is he motorised sled business, which is continuing to boom in Alaska, Canada, Finland, Greenland and Russia. This is were they are really the only viable way to get from A-Z.
The sled is one of the most interesting means of movement, apart from the wheel and track. Many machines, including aircraft and helicopters are fitted with sleds to cope with icy conditions.
