DEFUND tRUMP'S SPACE FORCE. I Hope The Space Brothers Are Our FRIENDS Because If They Get Angry, We Are DOOMED! They Have Better Technology and Could Totally Out Gun US... Whatever We Do, Do Not Shoot Them!

Remember: An Alien Attack by UFO is Highly Unlikely.... 

A BETTER IDEA Would be to De-Classify the Secret UFO Anti-Gravity Propulsion Systems... We Could Reverse Engineer Them and Replace Fossil Fuel Completely... We Ought to Give EXXON-VALDEZ a Couple of Years to Invest in Other Businesses... Like Solar or Wind... because when The UFO Technology is Revealed, They will be totally OUT of the Oil Business... Maybe they could invest in the Insurance Business... Like Phillip Morris (Marlboro Cigarettes) is Doing...

It's Simply a Handout to Corporations that Build Stuff for The Space Farce... Obvious Corruption... 
Friendly Alien Waving at you from inside his Flying Saucer Drawing by gvan42


If they can make it here, our technology is inconsequential! The Space Force thing is just perplexing, well stupid! The Air Force was already doing the job. More governmental red tape from the party of "smaller government." Just fluff to create an illusion that some thing was actually accomplished.

I totally agree with you, but what I find that is insane is the total amount of tax dollars that will be wasted. Those billions of dollars could go for infrastructure, schools, homeless shelters, meals on wheels, and other worthwhile programs. Not wasting our money, on chasing little green men who only exists in the Repubtards brain.



IT's A Hoax! Do NOT Send any Money... They Are Just Harvesting Credit Card Numbers... They Ask for Your Name, Address, Phone Number, THE SECRET CODE ON THE BACK OF YOUR CREDIT CARD and The Expiration Date... FRAUD ALERT! - FRAUD ALERT! - FRAUD ALERT!

Asimov's Psychohistory. Predicting the Future Using Math. The Foundation Trilogy. Wikipedia. NOVA TV Show - We Have People With Computers Gambling on the Stock Market Right Now!

The Plot of the Foundation Trilogy is Based on Psychohistory. Hari Seldon Predicted the Collapse of the Galactic Empire. His Plan was to Collect all Knowledge in an Encyclopedia So That Humanity Could Easily Rebuild Society. IMHO: Wikipedia is That Encyclopedia. First, There are the Articles in Wiki that Explain Every Topic, Simply ... and Then at the Bottom of the Page are Links for The SOURCE Material That the Article Was Based Upon. Magazine Articles, Scientific Journals, Books, Websites and The Location (URL) of Every Other Original Content on the Internet.

Psychohistory is a fictional science in Isaac Asimov's Foundation universe which combines historysociology, and mathematical statistics to make general predictions about the future behavior of very large groups of people, such as the Galactic Empire. It was first introduced in the four short stories (1942–1944) which would later be collected as the 1951 novel Foundation.

NOVA: Prediction By The Numbers:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/prediction-by-the-numbers/

Predictions underlie nearly every aspect of our lives, from sports, politics, and medical decisions to the morning commute. With the explosion of digital technology, the internet, and “big data,” the science of forecasting is flourishing. But why do some predictions succeed spectacularly while others fail abysmally? And how can we find meaningful patterns amidst chaos and uncertainty?

Great Book: "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov... The beginning of "The Robots Series" of books... also a Great Movie...

https://www.amazon.com/I-Robot-Isaac-Asimov/dp/0553294385

The three laws of Robotics:
1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm
2) A robot must obey orders give in to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

With this, Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete.

Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact & science fiction that became Asmiov's trademark.


Robots of Death




Great Books: "Caves of Steel" and "The Foundation Trilogy" by Isaac Asimov... and the "Robots" books... There are about 16 books that merge together in Asimov's view of the Galaxy.

The Robot Series and The Foundation Series... and Prequels, sequels, and more, more, more books about the same subjects...

In the Foundation Trilogy we are introduced to the concept of Encyclopedia Galactica that stores all knowledge of all people everywhere... or as we know it today, Wikipedia...

Asimov also proposes Psycho-History... a way to calculate and predict The Future... We haven't figured out how to do that yet but... that seems to be a major goal of Artificial Intelligence...

In the Robots Books we are introduced to the Three Laws of Robotics which prevent Robots from harming People... Clearly, THAT is not how we do things... For Example: Drones that Drop Bombs on People...

On family day, my brother took us to visit Lawrence Livermore Lab. I remember the Shiva Project.

 It was a Fusion Nuclear Power Plant Prototype. You may have seen it as the movie "TRON" had a few scenes filmed there. It was a fundamentally valid idea but it never created more power than it took to run the machine. They took a drop of "Heavy" Water and focused many giant laser beams on it from all directions. The idea was that the heat would cause the hydrogen to FUSE into helium. Just like it does in the SUN. When they turned on the power the lights of the city of Livermore would dim. Martin worked in Biology at the Lab.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_laser

One time Martin took me to a Biology Trade Show in Washington DC at a big Hotel. A BioTech Company from England had invented a single celled animal that TASTED LIKE CHICKEN. We ate some... It was illegal for a BioTech Company to design and grow food in the USA but the laws allowed it in England. Quite like Zymoveal out of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Books. I still believe that it's a good idea. I think it ate oil... Could solve World Hunger.

When Camping, If you see someone from Law Enforcement... Call Out "SEVEN UP!" as a warning to other campers that a Blue Meanie is Approaching.

A Handy Warn-A-Brother System for any Public Gathering.

"When Camping, If you see someone from Law Enforcement... Call Out "SEVEN UP!" as a warning to other campers that a Blue Meanie is Approaching. If the Evil Ones are Armed with Weapons, Call Out "SIX UP!" (a reference to the Six Shooter of the Wild West, a Famous Pistol). Remember, The Ringwraiths ride in Green Sometimes.

Al acampar, Si ves a alguien de Aplicación de la Ley ... Call Out "Seven Up!" como una advertencia a otros campistas que un Meanie azul se acerca. Si los malvados están provistos de armas, Call Out "SEIS UP!" (Una referencia a la Six Shooter del lejano oeste, una pistola famoso). Recuerde, los Espectros del Anillo Verde viajar en ocasiones.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.
