A brief introduction

Director and consultant at OPSC Limited in Oxford, England and consultant for OPSC Hong Kong.
Primarily a .NET specialist, OPSC also gets involved in some research and development projects in the space sector as well as getting involved in activities at the local Harwell science park, home to many large space companies and agencies.

I'm always interested to learn of news and ventures in the emerging space sector as well as computing and scientific research with the potential of being applied to this new sector.

We have spent years developing these HotelsInSpace.
Each one may be bigger than the ISS, we build one with six launches.
I do not know what all you have read so I do what to say.
We are finding a great demand for this resort.
The rental price of $1,000,000/week, not including transportation, slows a few down.
We are hoping the $100,000 air fair will be encourage more seats to be filled.
We need 3,750 individual people or organizations each investing $1,000,0000 or
500,000 people each investing $25/week for seven years.
We could open for rent in seven years if funds were available today.
$30,000,000 per launch lifts 6 satellites paying $3,500,000 each to share the cost and save money.
200 people paying $100,000 air fair pays for the launch.
The 3.5 billion dollars is to buy the technology, change some laws, buy land, build roads and factories, build a launchpad, HeatHydroGas, fill the factories ...
We are looking for a consortium of hotelier's and casino owners on the understanding that there's out of this world tax free gambling, to buy in and own a percentage of the infrastructure.
Each time we lift 200 people, 1/6 of the next hotel is in space.
If any organization that owns 25% of Tasha9503.com, when we have lifted 48,000 people and have four HotelsInSpace, they can trade there ownership of three hotels and keep one of their own.
Next time we have four HotelsInSpace they can do it again.
As an investment, each owner owns a % of the time and each year they do not use their time allotment, it accumulates.
Every time we collect $1,000,000 rent, 25% is set aside for profit shares.
The profit share is divided between all owners according to the percent they own.
People like you are posting www.LivingInSpace.ca hear and there and search engines are beginning to rank us higher.
What we need now is Massive Positive Public Publicity MPPP.
We are timing how long it takes to get 1,000,000 viewers.
If it takes ten years, we will wait, unless several million-airs buy in first.

Have you heard of the Keshe foundation. It is an organization started by Mehran Keshe who lives in Belgium . This man claims he has invented a free energy and antigravity system capable of faster than light speeds and force field shields like in Star Trek. What do you think? Website is http://www.keshefoundation.com/en/ . Patent is http://www.freepatentsonline.com/EP1770717.pdf . this is a presentation by keshe at Eindhoven. Website is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCFO3-MOCYE . He claims he is being suppressed by governments. I am not too sure about him. I haven't made up my mind about him. Not too sure. Searching for the truth still about him. What do you think? It seems to be fantastic to be true. But he has a team who are under NDA who claim they have seen all the technologies. Luc Vervliet and Jean-LUc of Belgium are also behind him. I dont know what to think. He claims he will go to the moon soon. Do you think he is telling the truth. The truth is so elusive sometimes. Its hard to know whats the truth and whats not. He talks about the existence of aliens and wanting to go to the stars. He claims his technology has health benefits too. There are so many people making similar claims it is hard to ignore it. But without seeing how do we know its true. Do you think it could be true?

To be fair before responding I watched his video on YouTube or rather I watched 15 minutes of his 1 hour 40 minute video before being unable to watch any more.

He doesn't actually say anything with any reason, he just makes random conjectures mixed with incorrect assertions before leaping to some wild claims for no apparent reason. The first 15 minutes of his presentation is just ridiculous but then you look at the audience and it's mostly kids who don't have the benefit of a rounded education yet so a man telling them he can made warp drives is probably worth a listen. The presenter is clearly unfamiliar with the science of whats he's talking about so he makes strange statements to avoid getting in too deep.

What I would say is that you don't need to listen to such nonsense to dig into some really exciting new space propulsion technologies.

Some very interesting articles I've read recently in good solid science journals include the following.

* Catalysis of the schwinger mechanism for π± through the modification of the gravitational dipolar quantum vacuum by superconductors and its application to antimatter space propulsion

* Vacuum to antimatter-rocket interstellar explorer systems (varies): a proposed program for an interstellar rendezvous and return architecture

* Beamed propulsion by gravitational waves

And there are many more very exciting technologies under R&D which could provide exciting new forms of travel in the future. Have fun but be wary of anyone who says he can produce free energy before explaining it as an electron and a proton being two differently filled glasses of water.
