If you can't explore virgin places in our planet, no problem. There is still plenty of room left in outer space, and it does not take NASA to start exploring it. Are We Going To Tear Other Planets Apart? - Space exploration by humans is still an incipient activity but we have to thing whether we will recklessly do to other planets the same that we did on our own, or are we going to be more careful. Exobiology's Roulette - It is a statistical fact that as the number of iterations of any probable event increase, odds tend to become something more like certainty than anything else; so, in an universe that were really infinite there would be no odds but certain things, and assuming that ours is just that, then in order to expand our knowledge and understanding about it we should start to assume that some things, like the probability of life outside Earth, should be considered as a fact. How Cats And Wasps Relate To Each Other - The most similar ting to a cosmic cat in which we can think about is the monster of the Alien movie series, starring Sigourney Weaver, among others. In reality, it seems that H.R. Giger, the creator of the monster was really thinking about a sort of cosmic cat-wasp combination, arguing that both the cat and the wasp are the most self-sufficient predators in the animal kingdom. The ideas of Kardashev to measure the progress of any civilisation in the cosmos - Nikolai Kardashev, a Russian astronomer, published in 1964 a paper that received little attention by the general public at a worldwide level but was nevertheless, pretty significant; the astronomer established a scale to measure the advancement of civilisations by measuring their energy consumption. This method is useful to study the most primitive of our Earth-based civilisations as well as ours at the present day and any other civilisation in the universe that might strive to conquer the cosmos. In other words, the scale of Kardashev, as it is known now, can be used to measure our degree of advancement in science and technology as compare to any other life forms that might be lurking out there, in space. Human Factors - An aircraft is not an isolated entity within the environment; airplanes, helicopters and so never fly on their own but are managed by crews, are under the jurisdiction of regulations that work within vast systems in which many different organisms and people take part. The Reader Of Universes - I have books, lots of them, thousands, tens of thousands; I am obsessed with knowledge and wisdom and despite what you may think now, probably the first time you ever noticed my existence in life, I have read them one by one. Always Carry A Backup Compass, It Is A Matter Of Survival - A compass is not very costly, and carrying one as a backup tool may prove essential for survival if our primary navigation systems suffers a malfunction when we need it most. Space Exploration (I) - Flying a spacecraft and trying to reach another celestial body is quite like trying to find a particular micro organism in that room - not a species, but an individual. Learn a few things on simulated spaceflight and the development of future technologies. Support Space Exploration (I) - Our place is Earth, but our duty is to move forward, even to other planets. Notes on Orbiter Space Flight Simulator (I) - Orbiter is a space flight simulator for which I have developed usable models of Star Trek and Star Wars spacecraft. Faster Than Light? (I) - Some stupid ideas of the kind that sometimes we should ask ourselves about our universe. Comments on simulation systems (I) - Comments and thoughts on the factors that affect simulators. Educate Your Ego Before Educating Others - The way in which life, business and academic requirements are shaped today puts everyone at disadvantage, and some even in jeopardy because these conditioning elements ask too much from uneducated egos. Weather Forecasting Advice: Getting Acquainted With The Mesosphere - A brief explanation about the mesosphere and its importance. Weather Forecasting Advice: Getting Acquainted With The Exosphere - A brief explanation about the exosphere and its importance. FIDAE 2004 - World Experts Re-Join in Conferences of FIDAE 2004 - Since in every opportunity FIDAE it will receive in its) facilities a series of relevant conferences for the aerospace world world. FIDAE 2004 - Worried by the Environment - FIDAE 2004 adds as new challenge, political environmental that synchronize with the accomplishment of the event. FIDAE 2004 - Leader in Latin America Par Excellence - One of the principal points that define FIDAE 2004, as the major aeronautical modal of Latin America, is his aptitude to modernize and to adapt to the changes that take place day after day in the commercial and military aviation of the whole orb. UFOs Or Self Delusion? - Several governments have recognised the existence of unidentified flying objects but are we trying to see more than really is there? Surviving all possible planetary catastrophes - In the long run we will all be death, right? Maybe not, but what should humankind do in order to survive in the millennia to come? This question is not just something that has religion as its reference point, but actually science. Towards Interstellar Exploration - Exploring has been one of our defining characteristics as species, and being outer space infinitely more vast than Earth it is a matter of time since we will begin travelling to the stars; to do that it is necessary to develop means to travel faster than light, something that seems closer to reality since Miguel Alcubierre demonstrated the theoretical feasibility of that. What Odds Of Survival Would We Have In An Epochal Catastrophe Of Solar-System Proportions? - Could our species and our culture survive something bigger than a global-scale cataclism? Could animal and vegetal species survive? What would we need for survival? What Would Happen If We Find Life Outside Earth? - Some say that it could easily become the most important scientific event of all history but what kind of impact it could have on us? Ufology Versus Exobiology? - Belief Versus Science? - Could ufology become a respected science or will it always belong to the field of the esoteric and pseudoscientific? A Place To Visit In Space: HD 80606b - Planet HD 80606b would be an exciting place to visit once adequate propulsion systems like the Warp engine envisioned by Dr. Alcubierre comes into existence; the reason is that this planet is the celestial body that has the most violent atmospheric storms ever detected, according to a paper recently published in Nature magazine. Who said that life is the only thing that evolves? - I was about to write something else but suddenly I got this thought: The universe is really complex - just read a little about M theory and you will get the idea - but it seems that it was a simpler thing in the very distant past, in the beginning of everything. So, despite that as far as we know it is not alive but could it be evolving like a living thing? Explore space yourself to reach the stars - Space has been dubbed sometimes as "the last frontier," but it is a rather large one, unfortunately - or not. It is indeed hard to reach outer space but it isn't so to explore it right from home. Do you like to watch the moon? - Since ancient times and probably long before people knew how to write and read, humans have been watching the moon; now you can do the same, but with a little help to make your moon watching sessions even better.
