We have been sitting on very advanced technology since July 1947.
It took us over 40 years but we finally figured it all out.
Look how many jobs were created by the World Wide Web.
- Economic Boom ! - 1995 -2000
eCommerce ! We actually ran a SURPLUS on the budget!
We will have a new and improved space shuttle in 2015 that will not require
those big expensive/dangerous booster rockets.
Power generation will also take a quantum leap forward.
It's not just a United States of America quantum leap forward.
We will be taking the rest of the entire planet Earth with us.
It will take over 50 years but we will eventually abolish poverty
on the entire planet. There are too many people starving
and suffering on this planet. Why fix the entire planet?
- Because it's the right thing to do. -
We will be mining the asteroid belt out past Mars.
We will travel from Earth to the asteroid belt in about 1 hour.
I know it sounds like science fiction but that is what's going to
happen in about 5 short years.
I love your ideas and Im not saying its not possible but I do have questions for you.
#1. You say "We have been sitting on very advanced technology since July 1947."
What advanced technology?
#2. You say "It took us over 40 years but we finally figured it all out".
Figured what out and who is "we"?
#3. You say "Power generation will also take a quantum leap forward."
How do you know this?
#4. You say "We will be taking the rest of the entire planet Earth with us."
Who is "we" and where will "we" be taking them?
#5. You say "It will take over 50 years but we will eventually abolish poverty on the entire planet. There are too many people starving
and suffering on this planet. Why fix the entire planet?
- Because it's the right thing to do. -
Thats a beautiful thought!
#6. You say "We will be mining the asteroid belt out past Mars.
We will travel from Earth to the asteroid belt in about 1 hour.
I know it sounds like science fiction but that is what's going to
happen in about 5 short years."
Again, how do you know this? And if your right about #5 but not #6, where will we all live and how will we feed everyone?
Either you have information or you are a utopian with grand ideas that you only "hope" will happen. I wonder if you have thought about the
consequences of your ideas.
Not looking to fight, just trying to understand where you are coming from.
It's really not that hard. It's just technology.
The internet IP internet protocol is just technology.
Fiber Optics sure came in handy connecting the whole world.
Broadband ISPs - FiOS - Cable Modems - just technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Question Answers:
1) The advanced technology is mainly artificial gravity wave
generators. You got a sneak peek in the movie
Back to the Future II. Skyways instead of highways.
2)What is advanced technology. We is the U.S. Government.
All knowledge was suppressed until we figured it all out.
The United States has the right and the responsibility to
protect its secrets. Iran could use this technology to attack Israel.
3)We have already seen a little about this. Very safe Helium 3
Fusion reactors. No steam - solid state power conversion.
Also solar power panels will increase in power and cost will
go into a free fall. How does 250 Watt panel for $100 sound?
4)We= USA Taking them with us to other planets.
Tourism boom!
5)We will live on the Earth, on the moon, huge space stations,
other planets. We will grow plenty of food here on Earth.
Hint: the technology exists to control the weather. It's
really not hard to do. No more droughts.
We can build arboretums on the moon.
It will be all very exciting and very busy. Learn-Adapt-Grow
6)This quantum leap is possible because we will just be cheating.
Doing what has already been done on other planets. Just
copy them. If it works for them, it can work for us.
I would like to get started tomorrow but it's not up to me.
