The last step before Mercury

What is the space station for? The space station is the most important part of the mission. Once it is complete we will be on our way to Mercury. Nothing can stop progress at this point. The space station will look something like a wagon wheel and axle. The wheel will be where most work is done. There will be one heavily shielded side always facing the sun. The axle will be the start of a large rail system that will accelerate/decelerate craft to & from Mercury.

The space station will, for the most part be a garage for space craft. It will be the place where supplies from earth are transferred to mercury until; we are divorced from earth. In later posts I am going to go into more detail, with graphics and concept drawing.

Step Two Rocketeering

The rocket will transport cargo and crew to low earth orbit where the space station will be built. It will also act as a return vehicle from orbit to the air ship. The rocket ship will only need heat shielding for an emergency because it’s decent will be slow and gradual. If you don’t know the reason things burn up entering the atmosphere is because they are moving extremely fast. If you are going five miles an hour it’s not needed.

First it will bring the heart of the space station into orbit. This heart is the center where all other parts will be attached. It will then be put together like Lego Blocks until complete. Once complete the space station will be filled with oxygen and powered up. The rockets next task is to bring all the necessary parts for the space transport ships to be built. The rocket will consist of a cargo bay and cockpit. On reentry jets will fire to keep the rocket at a slow decent until it crashes into a large airbag on the airship. The rocket will be serviced and refueled on the airship before bringing more cargo to the space station.

Once the rocket has finished its mission building and supplying the space station, it will immediately begin building another that will be sent to orbit planet Venus. The Venus space station will have purely a scientific mission. Venus is very similar to earth and I believe it would be a great benefit to know more about the planet.

For starters

Now let’s get into detail, on how I’m going to make the universe better for mark ass bitches. I’m going to explain from beginning to end, earth to mercury. While going over advancements I’ve made in this project.

Why are humans some mark ass bitches? This has nothing to do with the topic. It’s just that you creatures piss me off and it’s my fucking blog so I am going to write about it. You things have the most advance minds on the planet; it’s the year 2012, our main mode of transporting goods, people and everything else runs on dead plant juice! Fucking think about that for a second, we can tease the energy out of atoms but we can’t stop using dead plant juice. We can fling robots into interplanetary space! But we can’t stop using dead plant juice! Fuck we can make robots! That’s impressive on its own without shooting it to another planet to explore. It’s been about one hundred and fifty three years since the two stroke engine was invented. Why are we still using this technology? In a hundred and fifty years we couldn’t do any better, really? Fuck.

Now that I feel better let’s talk about building a craft to get to the upper atmosphere. First I need a place to build. I big place because it’s going to be huge. The best I can do with what I have in an acre of land. With this acre of land I need to build a shop, nothing expensive just a shack to keep the tools and parts out of the rain. I need a way to generate electricity to power the tools. I think I can build a few wind turbines myself that will do the trick. Then I need tools and parts.

I have absolutely no idea of where this shit is going to come from, none what so ever. I have managed to score a piece of land but that’s it so far. I plan to take some pictures of the property and assess what I need to clear off of it before I build the shop. When I have a bit more cash I am going to raid craigslist.org for supplies. The shop will need to be made of trash basically because that’s how far my money will go. Once I have the shop put up and the supplies to build the air ship is school time. I’m more then capable of designing the air ship. The hard part is figuring out how one person can build such a thin in a life time. It could take me years just to get a test flight. I have been mauling over how to build a machine that could help me but I have no idea of where to start. The air ship and the space station are going to be the hardest parts to figure out. In both situations the issue is I am doing this on my own. But I will get it done.

The idea in short

So let’s just get to it. To advance our species to the next step, I will need to build a way to move to and from planet Mercury. Why Mercury? It’s the closes planet to the sun. On the surface it can soar to eight hundred degrees Fahrenheit in sun. That’s what I’m after! Energy! With various thermal energy to electricity method’s I can extract this energy. What about solar panels? Well maybe but with all the pure heat readily accessible I don’t see a need. With a virtually unlimited supply of energy nothing will be impossible.  The problem is how to get there. One craft that goes from earth to Mercury sounds like the way to go right? Wrong! I need to build a transport system in stages. First is getting off this rock.

To get off earth I would employ a dual Zeppelin craft. Two zeppelins attached to make a floating launch pad for jets. Not rockets. The jets would need less fuel to get to an altitude where they can launch personnel and supplies into low earth orbit with rockets. Slowly from this infrastructure a real space station will be built. One made explicitly to be way station between earth and mercury. In space I will build several ships. Each ship will have a specific purpose. Food cultivation, repairs, spare parts, Mercury base construction equipment, equipment to build another space station orbiting Mercury and so on. These ships would use sever high powered large ion propulsion engines, with backup rockets. I will build a redundant ship for every type. Once the space fleet in complete I off and hopefully some nut cases decided to join me.

Skip type one.

We are living in a fledgling type one civilization. According to the Kardashev Scale, a type one has moved passed fossil fuels. A civilization of this kind would need to power itself from pure green sources like, Wind, Solar, Fusion, Geothermal, and so on. This will never fucking happen, So why try? We need to just get over the fact that money runs the world and there is a lot of money in fossil fuels. If green energy could make as much money or more we would be using it. So how can we advance if we never get to a type one? My answer is skip it.

A type two civilization has moved to the center of the solar system to use its host star directly. This farfetched idea sounds far more likely than convincing some billionaires to change their business model. So how would we achieve this? We don’t, I do. I have come to the conclusion that no one gives a shit about moving our species to the next logical step, so I am going to do it myself. When I’m done I will ask if people want to join me. And if I pull it off before I die then I assure you there will be a line around the planet to travel to the center of the solar system.

Now the title of this blog is type three so why am I talking about a type two? Well I see no way of skipping two and going straight to tree otherwise I will be all for it.so why do we need to advance at all earth is such a nice place? Earth will not last forever for one. For two the scientific advancements that would be made by developing the technology travel to and harness a star directly is unfathomable.

So how will this effort start? The explanation of how I plan to do this will be the topic of this blog. Keep looking for more posts to see the plan unfold. And most likely my epic journey to awesome failure.
