Are N. Korean Missiles a Threat to Musk’s Mars Colony?

As North Korea continues to develop nuclear weapons and missile delivery systems it might not be too early to consider the potential threat of North Korean to the yet to be constructed Mars Colony of Elon Musk.

It goes without saying that Kim Un will field an ICBM soon. The next step beyond that would be to develop the Inter-Planetary Ballistic Missile (IPBM).

As the Peoples Republic of Kims defend global communism against the capitalist threat and their running dog stooge-lackeys, it is important to keep in mind that Western Leadership should invest in creating a Martian defense shield anti-interplanetary ballistic missile system for deployment around Musktown Mars.

G.O.P.'s Obamacare Makeover Probably Sucks Too

The Republican and Democrat Parties just are not willing to make a practical, affordable national health care infrastructure that covers only those that actually need it (the poor). Insurance companies already provide service for those that can afford it. More workers would have employer provided coverage if their negotiating position were better (without illegal aliens in any large numbers on the nation able to provide an  alternative workforce).
'Bombercare seems to comprise a regressive tax to me. Of course President Obama was said to have an I.Q. just a fraction of a percent lower than Bill Clinton (141.2), so maybe it just seems regressive. President Trump in the same I.Q. report of President had the second highest I.Q. at 156.4 (only John Quincy Adams had a higher I.Q. at 176). For the President the regressive tax may seem either real or illusory, yet for me, a humble home repainter without the stratospheric I.Q.s required for good Presidential leaders, it does seem regressive.
 The government should be the direct provider of health care for the poor in government run treatment facilities such as the V.A. system and in networks of low-cost clinics already existing. Most medical procedures are routine and could be treated well enough while only the exceptional would need to be outsourced to the private hospital system and that the government might reasonable provide.

Democrats want an unaffordable health care system where everyone gets the best treatment available and taxes are placed upon workers as mandatory insurance premium purchases for treatment they won't need.  Republicans want to keep that benefit the corporate world Obamacare system and just gut its effectiveness for the poor. Neither Democrats or Republicans care about the poor enough to create a system that works and is the most-cost-effective way to proceed. That treatment system for the poor could even serve in event of national emergency such as might arise from an opfor biowar attack infecting millions.

Musk's Mars Ideas Seem Somewhat Narrow-Minded

Elon Musk's speculation about colonizing Mars seem a little narrow-minded. He really ought to look beyond creating another big gassy rocket to launch a million people to Mars. Regardless of how people arrived, they could probably copulate and raise little Martians for a fraction of the cost of sending a million adults from Earth.

Looking beyond the advantages natural-born Martians would have such as being eligible to run for President of Mars, Elon Musk seems to have overlooked his own field of experience for space transportation that would use electro-magnetic propulsion along a straight track on the Moon to accelerate objects to very high velocity toward some sort of orbiting, recycling Earth-Mars ferry as Buzz Aldrin mentioned numerous times.                             image credit: N.A.S.A.

Developing electro-magnetic accelerators such as were made in the Star Wars program and later for navy canon perhaps on Earth with a specialized pointy heat shielded projectile moving along a fifty-mile track to orbital escape velocity would be one way to get cargo into orbit rapidly. Creating a network of electro-magnetic accelerators on the moon and around the solar system would provide the adaptability needed to let people discover niches in livable places without requiring a central bureaucratic or even corporate apparatus to plan for everyone involved with some sort of theory.

If one were to play a chess game against a gm entirely from opening book plans it is possible the unexpected might arise and the game is busted. Establishing an adaptable, multi-use technology to open the entire solar system to low-cost space travel and human habitat constructions should be Elon Musk's effort.

Design a Board Game Modeling Forces of Physics

It might be interesting to design a board game rather like chess that models the forces of physics instead of a battlefield. Obviously one could also make a video game that could teach players general relativity and the way it warps space-time.

The strong force for close range binding, the weak force and low mass photons for distant attacking although they would need to be in mass to have much effect, pieces could have different ranges of motion as do bishops and knights in chess. Kings might be atomic nuclei and queens, electrons.

One might want to keep the game reasonably simple as is chess, yet somewhat more complex at the same time.

A video game that allows one to move mass and warp the space-time of solar systems, and that models general relativity in accelerating space ships near light speed while increasing their mass and dilating time-those coeeficients would be built in with accuracy to tge game pieces one moves around a neighborhood of a galaxy.

One might modularize the games so they can scale up and cohere within non-quantum mechanical particle-wave games. Then if one moved good structures into atoms and molecules it would be possible to use those games within macro-physics of molecular clumps such as comprise objects like planets drawn together with gravity.

Ur, Urartu and the Flood

Christians of the 20th century post-discovery of quantum mechanics era may view their own epistemological foundation of interpreting scripture as contingent upon several less-than-inspired criteria. The flood paradigm is a case in point. Ararat is an ancient Jewish transliteration of Urartu from an era when Jews were in captivity. Before the Jewish captivity the word Ararat existed nowhere. Urartu disappeared as a kingdom as early as 1200 B.C. yet persisted through Assyrian rule somewhat later.

A local Mesopotamian flood taking an ark to the highest location of a vanished kingdom somewhere along the Tigris drainage plainly may create issues of uncertainty regarding the actual site of the deposition on receding waters. The ancient city of Ur was quite close to the Persian Gulf, and scientifically inclined Christians may speculate that the lost world of Noah actually was located below the modern sea level of the Persian Gulf. Ur and Urartu seemed to continue an historical line of remembrance of the great flood.

There are many Christians whom have taken a more objective approach toward interpretation of Genesis. Unfortunately, my own book God, Cosmology and Nothingness - Theory and Theology in a Scientific Era may be the most accurate attempt to comprehend scripture in the light of new knowledge about physics and word-meanings that God always had (and infinitely more besides) and citing it will lead to charges of self-promotion. Thomas Edison was a self-promoter; when did self-promotion become a bad word as if only communal promotion is good?

Except for Sailors U.S. Should Cancel Cuban Ties

Cuba is a dangerous nation bent upon destroying marine habitat and reefs with offshore oil drilling. The Trump administration should cut all ties except for those that can be developed for sailors in a vast right-wing expansion of marinas to surround Cuba so sailor diplomacy can be maintained and increased at low cost. It is important to keep ordinary Americans from the contamination of Cuba except for those with any sort of sailboat who are used to encountering wierd people offshore.

The Atlantic doesn't seem to like the Trump administration yet they just don't see the importance of creating tens of thousands of slips for sailors to 'let a million sails bloom' to bring Cubans slowly to understand the importance of sailing to peace, freedom and security in times of hurricane.

China Should Be Brought Aboard N.A.S.A. Effort to Quantum Link Moon & Mars

Since Chinese scientists have successfully entangled quanta and linked from Space to Earth via satellite,they should be brought aboard a N.A.S.A. effort to develop quantum links and research facilities on the moon and Mars. It is challenging to say just where the mission would go, yet it could be the core of construction of research facilities on the moon and Mars synergizing private sector efforts too.

One must get more bang for the buck and yuan with multi-culture science projects. Including physics, agriculture and mariculture at extra-terrestrial locations should start asap. It is better to build a ship before a flood occurs, rather than during or after inundation. Being complacent about human degradation of the environment and history of biological conflict should not create a reason for complacency.

Developing the capability of nearly instant communication around the solar system would be quite useful for a number of reasons for guidance control, instructions and posting video at youtube live on Earth from Mars. It could also provide timelier warning from remote locales of aliens and asteroids heading toward Earth. 

While some aliens might be brown-nosing, butt-kissing creatures able to get along with Democrats, other aliens would view Earth as the restaurant at the end of the Universe for the the main item on the menu who would experience the end of the Universe.

Extra-terrestrials should come in all varieties of disposition from treacherous and hostile manipulators of media and politics to naive bambi-like harmless faster-than-light waifs looking for a home. In the wild kingdom other species generally eat other species so far as they possibly can with humans being no exception to the rule. Imagine if Kim Un Dang were leader of the aliens? Or Adolph Hitler? Would they respect the right of poor, college graduates to work without onerous exploitation? 

Some would respect American nationalism, others would be godless, atheist swine-vermin soaking the public in flesh-eating bacteria marinate before roasting humanity on anti-gravity barbeques for even cooking. There may be no sign of intelligent life found so far because any species daft enough to advertise their location were set upon by a number of other extra-terretrial diners hungry for new prey.
