The Future Of Drone Transport

The automated transfer vehicle between earth and space makes a lot of sense.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/03/070326122011.htm

Of course an earth atmosphere transport drone could help to ease the strain on the much larger cargo planes.

"The transportation system in the future will be very different from our current system. We will see flying cars, self-driving cars, passenger drones, hyperloop one system that is projected to reach a top speed of 760 mph (1,220 km/h), and with Starship and the Super Heavy Rocket. But Unmanned Aerial Vehicles—UAVs commonly known as drones are rapidly growing in popularity and are used mainly for entertainment. Although they are still in the infancy stage in terms of mass adoption and usage, drones have already broken through rigid traditional barriers and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles could one day be the future of daily transport. Here is everything you need to know about drone technology and the possibility of the machine being the future of daily transport." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_YD8pV2lE4 , https://www.youtube.com/channel/TE/videos

If someone is drunk and needs a quick ride home, this would do the trick.

This video is about the world’s first passenger drone that can be used for daily commuting.


Ehang is a Chinese company that is about to make unbelievable changes in how we commute in cities and probably even between them. The brand is aimed at AAV or autonomous aerial vehicles market. Its first product was Ehang 184 – a one-person air drone that was launched in 2015 and was tested thoroughly until its official release in 2018. Today we’ll talk more about the company, its new ideas of what city taxi should look like and about Ehang 184 with its huge prospects.


A flying taxi and even an air-ambulance that's smaller than a conventional helicopter could become in high demand.

The concept of having shared or automatic community transport vehicles can be quite beneficial. However, the option should always remain for a person to have their own Personal Transportation Vehicle.

Dueling attitudes emerge toward paying ransomware demands

 "Roughly three in four individuals assert that companies should not submit to the demands of ransomware gangs in the event are infected, says one survey report. Yet roughly three in four parents say that school districts should pay up if they are impacted by an attack. So which is it?

It could very well be both, as respondents’ sentiments likely vary depending on what they personally have at stake, how important they view the security of their data, how hypothetical the attack scenario is, and what kind of organization is affected." https://www.scmagazine.com/home/security-news/ransomware/when-its-personal-dueling-attitudes-emerge-toward-paying-ransomware-demands/

"It's 'almost a racing certainty' there's alien life on Jupiter's moon Europa—and Mars could be hiding primitive microorganisms, too.

That's the view of leading British space scientist Professor Monica Grady, who says the notion of undiscovered life in our galaxy isn't nearly as far-fetched as we might expect.

Professor Grady, a Professor of Planetary and Space Science, says the frigid seas beneath Europa's ice sheets could harbor 'octopus' like creatures." https://phys.org/news/2020-02-certainty-life-europa-mars-uk.html

Sending Lab Animals Into Space...

Sending animals_into_space has been occurring for several decades. https://www.space.com/33823-why-do-we-send-animals-to-space.html

https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/9-12/features/F_Animals_in_Space_9-12.html , https://www.businessinsider.com/animals-nasa-russia-space-agencies-sent-to-space-2019-6

Then by the early 21st century a much wider variety of life forms had been sent into space. https://phys.org/news/2017-11-mice-fish-flies-animals-space.html

 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/nasa-squid-space These experiments with aquatic based life have also been going on for quite a while.

The Insane Biology of: The Octopus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFP_AjJeP-M

What if the earth is like someone's garden, zoo or laboratory?

"Twelve extraterrestrial spacecraft hover over disparate locations around the Earth. Affected nations send military and scientific experts to monitor and study them; in the United States, US Army Colonel Weber recruits Banks and physicist Ian Donnelly to study the craft above Montana. On board, Banks and Donnelly make contact with two cephalopod-like, seven-limbed aliens, whom they call 'heptapods'..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrival_(film)#Plot , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCpUl7pFOBE

Imagine after the arrival of some advanced ET Cephalopods that they want to do more than shake your hand. Friend or foe? That's always been a common theme in sci-fi.

https://www.livescience.com/62594-octopuses-are-not-aliens-panspermia.html While there is no evidence of any intelligent ET cephalopods around here, what if this world is someones lab experiment? The concept and theory of panspermia in general, can't easily be  dismissed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panspermia#Proposed_mechanisms

Intelligent ET Life might not always fit into the category of benevolent or malevolent. Sometimes it might just be about its survival.

"In the near future, the unmanned Pilgrim 7 space probe returns from Mars to Earth orbit with soil samples potentially containing evidence of extraterrestrial life. The probe is intercepted by the International Space Station, whose six-member crew retrieves its samples. Exobiologist Hugh Derry revives a dormant cell from the sample, which quickly grows into a multi-celled organism that American school children name "Calvin." Derry realises that Calvin's cells can change their specialisation, acting as muscle, neuron, and photosensory cells all at once.

When Derry conducts further research on Calvin, it crushes his hand and knocks him unconscious. Calvin escapes its enclosure and it devours a lab rat, growing in size. Engineer Rory Adams rescues Derry, but is quarantined in the lab when Calvin attacks him. Adams tries to fight off Calvin, but is killed; Calvin escapes through a fire-control vent. Soon after, the station's communication system overheats, cutting off all contact with Earth." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_(2017_film)#Plot

Conversely, Mautner and Matloff (1979) and Mautner (1995, 1997) proposed that humanity should seed other planetary systems, protoplanetary discs or star-forming clouds with microorganisms, to secure and expand its organic gene/protein lifeform." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_panspermia

Cyberpunk 2077 returns to the PlayStation Store

The game has been unavailable for more than 180 days

https://www.polygon.com/22229742/cyberpunk-2077-returns-to-playstation-store-release-refund-ps4-ps5-cd-projekt-red


After so much hype in 2020, the vision of CP 2077 crashed in more ways than one.

It really would have been better to wait until the whole thing was properly created and tested.

Loki and Time Travel, etc.

The Loki_(TV_series) seems to be as popular as the Marvel movie versions.

Loki has become such a popular cosmic trickster character.

The Smart City vs. the world of THX 1138

Smart_City can be very well organized and efficient landscape. It is also an Electronic Labyrinth that can essentially track anything.

 https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/markets/digital-identity-and-security/iot/inspired/smart-cities

A big challenge with a Smart_City will be that it doesn't become too much of an intersection of various Black_Mirror scenarios.

Boise could be the next hot spot in the Bay Area tech exodus. But resentment is growing.

 https://www.sfgate.com/places/article/Boise-next-hotspot-Bay-Area-tech-exodus-Idaho-16241920.php

It used to be that almost any city liked the idea of people and business moving into their city. As long as Boise,_Idaho can properly plan for growth, it can have the best of both worlds.

"The metro area is currently the third largest in the US section of the Pacific Northwest after Seattle and Portland..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boise_metropolitan_area

Depending upon how popular Boise becomes, it might eventually rival, Salt_Lake_City. Perhaps some day even getting as big as, Denver, but it would have to rival Calgary and SLC first.

Some people might live in the same city or town all their life, while others try a few different places to live. For some it's because of employment or wanting a change of scenery. 

Of course there are always people that don't like other people to have the freedom to move around. Then when the COVID-19_pandemic started up, some people saw it as the perfect opportunity to try to track and_control almost everyone on the planet. 

https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/05/13/mobile-location-data-and-covid-19-qa

But does the so called, HUMAN HERD really want to be tracked like cattle, or livestock in general?

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/03/cellphone-tracking-could-help-stem-spread-coronavirus-privacy-price

Of course during a global emergency such as, the COVID-19_pandemic , travel_restrictions would make sense. 

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-18190-5

The problem is that now whenever there are other world scale emergencies, tracking and travel restrictions return.

https://ssd.eff.org/en/playlist/privacy-breakdown-mobile-phones

Or, are the controls ever fully removed? Whenever the Internet_of_things becomes fully implemented, the world will be quite a different place.

https://www.businessinsider.com/countries-tracking-citizens-phones-coronavirus-2020-3

The human world has already undergone a tremendous series of lifestyle_changes_during_the_pandemic. Some can say that its become a very good test to better prepare the human herd for whenever something even worse occurs.

https://www.aclu.org/issues/privacy-technology/location-tracking/cell-phone-privacy

Its no big deal for livestock and pets to be tracked, but this human herd approach could potentially lead to human rights violations.

Amazon Launches Sidewalk; Experts Raise Privacy And Security Concerns

Sean Connery in, The Rock (1996 film)

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock_(film)


Everything Wrong With The Rock In 17 Minutes...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xV23Y-ypXjg   

CinemaSins always makes interesting observations and provides fantastic commentary.

In my opinion, The_Rock remains as one of the best adventure movies. This was the perfect movie for Sean+Connery at the right time in his career. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-B7Ncb8ckQ

"A mild-mannered chemist and a former British spy must lead the counterstrike when a rogue group of military men, led by a renegade general, threaten a nerve gas attack from Alcatraz against San Francisco." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpHn1iw-Bxw

"Sean Connery in The Rock is James Bond – and I can prove it. On the 25th anniversary of Michael Bay’s 1996 action classic The Rock, starring Sean Connery and Nicholas Cage, this video essay looks at the evidence in WAY too much detail to definitively prove once and for all that Sean Connery’s character in The Rock is James Bond 007." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FdnevXjqdc   

This is a fascinating observation of J. Bond synchronicity by, PentexProductions

The thing about synchronicity is that sometimes its quite obvious, while other times it remains obscure, unless it's pointed out. I find it interesting and quite appropriate that PentexProductions uses penguin symbolism. 

The Penguin is not a bird that lives on Alcatraz_Island. However, someone wrote a cool poem about it. https://allpoetry.com/poem/3057114-Penguins-Of-Alcatraz-by-Brian-Kingsford

Of course there would be a connection between Penguin Books and Alcatraz. https://www.penguin.com.au/books/escape-from-alcatraz-9781580086783 , https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/197284/escape-from-alcatraz-by-j-campbell-bruce , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_from_Alcatraz_(film)

Many people dismiss synchronicity as just random connections of various things. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com While that can be true on a surface level of perception, the rabbit hole runs very deep. To even casually entertain the concept of the Cosmic Simulation_HypothesisSynchronicity suddenly has a much deeper impact.

https://rubypenguin.com/index.html More interesting penguin and Alcatraz synchronicity. https://rubypenguin.com/SanFran/alcatraz/alcatraz.html

Penguin Books has several intersections with Alcatraz. https://www.penguin.com.au/books/where-is-alcatraz-9780448488837 This can become obvious synchronicity once its been pointed out. https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/529696/inside-alcatraz-by-jim-quillen/9781784750664  

The Northern Hemisphere Penguin at Alcatraz? Sort of. 

"Pigeon Guillemot (Cepphus columba)

A visitor may first detect the presence of this foot-long bird by its startling high-pitched call. Your eyes may be drawn to the bird also by its brightly-colored red-orange feet and red-colored mouth lining. On the waters offshore near Barker Beach or the Officer’s Club where it is often seen, the white patches on the upper wings set off the otherwise black feathers. These birds are classified as alcids, the northern hemisphere equivalent of penguins." https://www.nps.gov/alca/learn/nature/waterbirds.htm
