Space
energy and land transports
by
Adriano Autino
Some
energetic requirement for the 21° century.
To
guarantee the energy at low cost needed for:
-
The
space technologies development,
-
The development of the
emerging countries.
-
To develop
peace economies in permanent conflict
areas.
-
To allow
the outcasters to enter the market.
-
To
assure a true freedom of individual movement for all the Terrestrials.
-
To
emancipate the civilization from the hydrocarbons draw.
Some
requirement for new terrestrial transport systems.
-
To
increase the freedom of movement and the individual transport means.
-
To
decrease the bureaucracy and the control on the movements of
the citizens.
-
To
rationalize the traffic ways and the transport systems.
-
To
avoid being engaged in the driving for the most part of the
travel time.
-
To
improve the safety standards.

Space and energy
A free conversation with prof. Tullio Regge,
on the topic of the space colonization.
"... the idea to send
down energy by means of microwaves could work, but we could never convince the greens that
it is innocuous for the environment, they will always
say no. I remain opposite to maxiprojects: they only serve to feed tangents, creating bogus economies. If the photovoltaic
technology will take foot on Earth, we could then begin with a space
pilot system to be gradually increased, but before I want to see the feasibility, the
rendering and many other things... " [follows]

Gold,
gold!
A
fantastic speculation by Giulio Gelibter, some "barren figures", and some
literary notes proposed by the Sc. Dir. of TDF, Dr. Marco C. Bernasconi. Where, also,
they dreams about extraland
enterprising, gold mines, vendors of lunar ground, and about mystery,
that since ever surrounds gold, the noblest metal. [follows] |

Solar Power from Space
(SPS) Technical Card
To Dr. Bernasconi
(responsible of the researches on the rigidable and inflatable
structures for space in Contraves) we asked to clear some not
obvious aspects, care to the solar energy collection in the space
and transmitted in shape of bundles of microwaves.
"... The
medium per capita consumption of energy in the post-industrial countries, in years '90, is approximately 7 kW.
Considering that, with the advent of the SPS, the entire economy
would be converted to the electricity, the per capita consumption would come down around 3 kW...
The Space Photovoltaic is the only draw that moves the greater part of
the thermal burden of the extraction of energy outside of the planet... "
The greens
should reflect on this [ndr]. [follows]
