http://sbattle2.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-spaceship-is-not-jetplane-part-i.html
A Jetplane is NOT a Spaceship. Fiction and AfroFuturism reviewed by Stafford L. Battle. Diverse Writers and Artists of Speculative Fiction. Saturday, January 3, 2015. Why A Jetplane NOT a Spaceship, Part I. The excitement in science fiction stories is heightened when writers heed the problems of space travel and offer stories using novel solutions for survival outside of Earth’s atmosphere and gravity. Spacecraft do not zoom and swish in the vacuum of space. They don't bank and do barrel rolls. I would b...

I’m at SXSW Interactive, and I’m glad to see that the programming is not “all drones all the time.” There are some drone related panels, but no hype-overexposure. So the industry can just go do it’s jobs, without having to respond to outsized outside expectations. Ps http:/ www.grafsys.com. Blog at WordPress.com.

It connects to the phone via bluetooth, takes voice commands, displays incoming notifications, and provides microphone and speaker functionality for calls. The phone can stay in the pocket, in theory. A non-progress-dependent question though is, when does one actually want to use voice? Voice input has its proven p...

http://gilgamesh42.blogspot.com/2012/09/is-warp-driving-getting-closer.html
Fleeing Nergal, Seeking Stars. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Is Warp Driving Getting Closer? You may have noticed that Outer Space is big. I mean really, really. Big To give an idea of how big, the nearest star to our solar system is in the Alpha Centauri system (the closest is Proxima Centauri. About 4.2 light-years away. That is about 25 trillion miles, and even if Voyager 1, one of the fastest probes even launched, was going in the right direction it would take about 75,000 years. It is in very small q...

Sporadic Updates Regarding Software Design, RC Flying, Drones. Monthly Archives: October 2013. Two Summer Flight Videos. October 19, 2013. Lieser, in Germany is where I grew up. So when visiting, the planes were exercised there too. It’s in a wine region that has been shifting from quantity to quality products over the last decade or so. This leaves some former vineyards as open fields today, allowing slope flying without the constant threat of impaling the plane on a vineyard post.

About The Xodus One Foundation. About The Xodus One Foundation. Becoming an Interstellar Species. August 30, 2015. Our interstellar challenge is, how do we as a planet confined humans, become an interstellar species? This encompasses all human endeavors, and is vitally dependent upon interstellar propulsion physics to realize our coming of age as an interstellar species. How do we sift through all these competing ideas? To achieve interstellar travel, the Kline Directive. Instructs us to be bold, to expl...
