LET'S NOT DO GOD'S JOB FOR HIM

Ignorance breeds hatred and conflict. if we are unwilling to understand that people are different, that they come from all walks of life and still, by God's grace, walk this planet, then we can not know better than God. If they are here they deserve dignity, respect and not the jud… Continue

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"When suffering exists, we all must stop to listen to the cries. When we hear the cry of a child, we hear the universal language of pain and suffering. We do not ask if the child is Christian or Jew or Muslim. For at that moment, our ideologies, our political affiliations and our religious stations in life become less important than the cry we hear. We can walk away and go about our business or we can step out from our own little corner of the world and do something to comfort the cries. We can… Continue

FACEBOOK QUOTE OF THE DAY

Justice is not determined by the letter of the law alone. It requires a collective set of principles guided by conscience, compassion for the individual and faith that people can be better. Laws are born from those principles, and therefore should not oppose them. When they do, the law must be challenged, debated and subsequently altered. That is when justice is realized. -Will Griffith

FIGHTING TERROR AND PIRACY WITH BROADCAST, SPACE-AGE TECHNOLOGIES

With the recent stand-off between American sailors and pirates from Somalia, not to mention the daily threats of terror coming out of the ranks of the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other extremist groups, we have also heard about the lack of available security in an age when our satellite technology allows us to read a license plate from space.

The fact is that these threats pose opportunities for private security companies to develop new, effective and innovative ways of combating these threats.

My b… Continue

MEXICAN CARTEL CRISIS PRESENTS CHALLENGES FOR OUR COUNTRY

When I awoke this morning I poured a cup of coffee and received my morning security briefings. Report after report had to do with the Mexican Drug Cartels and the unrest at the U.S.-Mexican border.

My security advisor brought a report to my attention, entitled: CALIFORNIA UNDER SEIGE BY MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS. This caught my attention and I instructed our staff to network the information immediately. One part of that report was a video interview on FULL DISCLOSURE with former L.A. Sheriff SGT. Ri… Continue

COUNTER-TERRORISM & INTELLIGENCE CAN BE BETTER

Presidents of the United States have made the error of trying to size-up global situations and matters of national security on their gut feelings. They often think they can do it better than the CIA or the intelligence services of the government.

President Bill Clinton thought he understood Yasir Arafat and tossed away the prestige of the United States on a Palestinian agreement with Israel. President Kennedy made the mistake with Vietnam, and even George W. Bush missed the mark in sizing up Ru… Continue

THE ECONOMICS OF AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY

As we follow the news of the potential of credit markets freezing, the loss of more jobs and the potential turn from recession to depression, it is nearly enough to make us flip the news channel to America's Next Top Model.

President Barack Obama, as we've learned, is now being briefed every morning by the CIA on the global economy. The need for sound economic intelligence has become as important as terror-analysis and a National Security briefing.

And it is a good move!

We know that Osama bi… Continue

BEAM US UP SCOTTY...NO INTELLIGENT LIFE IN WASHINGTON

When we talk of party politics we think of Republican and Democrat. Lately, the word "party" has taken on the meaning of the Beverly Hills crowd. Everyone is invited to the party Washington has decided to throw themselves, and Wall Street is the guest of honor.

The party is in full swing...paid for by you, the American taxpayer.

The current rhetoric in Washington,, where big government and big spending reflects the mindset of a frustrated population,
has been swallowed like candy laced with ar… Continue

TALK OF NATIONALIZATION CAUSE FOR REFLECTION

The talk today of the nationalization of U.S. banks is a major cause for concern among business and entrepreneurs. It should cause us to take a look at history, not only our own, but the histories of other nations who have gone down that dark, filthy path of allowing the government to control that which we know the private sector can do better.

Space exploration and technology is a great example. Space entrepreneurs have made progress in a short period of time, compared with government efforts… Continue

A TIME FOR CHOOSING

In an era of economic uncertainty and political challenges, it is also a time for choosing.

The choice before us is whether or not to bow to the picture the media has painted of doom and gloom, or to rise up in a fashion that allows us to become acquainted with our creativity and capacity for innovation.

In times of challenge and struggle, the capacity to adapt and find ways to rise above the fray is always at its best. Entrepreneurs are often born of necessity and struggle. People tend to tak… Continue

Tasha9503 is tomorrow, designed with 1995 technology.
As this moon race continues I would like to ask every one to help us build these transport vehicles to take several crews to the Moon, Mars, beyond and back.
I will not suggest any human leave the protection of this infrastructure after passing the Van Allan Belt, but you can enter any orbit around our sun.
It is a new rocket design that produces no space junk.
Use the six robotic arms to collect space junk in preparation for mining the Asteroid Belt.
Tasha9503 will be owned buy the people, initially used as HotelsInSpace, resorts.
People in China, Brazil, Argentina, Etc. Congo, Guinea, Namibia, etc. Sahara, Tunisia, USA, Antarctica, Canada, etc. will soon be able to own the infrastructure in orbit.
The day we collect rent we will no longer be for sale.
In 1988 we started looking for all the reasons we can not move to space.
7 years we collected the sciences that say we can.
This infrastructure includes five levels of artificial gravity to remove the physical degeneration that prolonged exposure to zero-g brings.
It is a place for our children to live if an asteroid or a commit etc, hits earth or global warming makes Earth uninhabitable by humans.
Launch costs, oxygen and water purification, food and sewage, Maintenance, Reproduction.
We found the solutions to all the stoppers and slow me downs and lowered the cost.
We still ask the world why they think we can not build these HotelsInSpace if funds were available?
If we can pass the Van Allan Belt, we can pass the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Each HotelsInSpace includes five levels of Artificial Gravity, 12 staff units, 72 units with sleeping for three for rent, six cafeterias, six separate zero gravity sections, internet connection to the world and access to the entire HotelsInSpace.
This is the place where many people can try ZeroGravitySex.
Depending on other’s transportation facilities, we feel any time under one week per year will not be usable, unused time accumulates.
In 2009 we showed the world our answers to why we can go.
Re design the HLV.
Lift 1,000,000 lbs of pre shaped HLV.
Re use the casings fuel tanks and software in orbit.
Lift six satellite payloads per launch.
Land a 400,000 lbs 200 passenger CRV.
Share the launch price between hundreds, effectively lowering the cost.
Attach 6 used rockets, clean, renovate and place the 36 satellites in their respective orbits.
Do it again, lifting another 1200 people, 36 satellites and building more HotelsInSpace.
Like LEGO, these pieces of Infrastructure can be attached end to end producing CitySkapes above the clouds.
Get on board? Do you want to build a 400 passenger landing vehicle? We will use our HLV to lift it.

Safety?
How many people died this month in car accidents?
How many died when swimming?
How many died in Boating accidents?
How many starved to death this month?
How many died this month.
With 120 NASA shuttle launches, less than five burned on re-entry.
Max 35 people die and 819 live to tell stories about space travel.
With 120 tasha9503 launches, if 5 burn on re-entry, that’s 1000 people die and 23000 live to tell space stories.
We also end up with 19 HotelsInSpace.
Does that answer any questions about safety and do you have any other questions?
