Space remains a dangerous Business?
Just like the Space shuttle, we can become over confident and routine about any form of travel and then disaster strikes with the loss of lives! Today that was averted when the Russian Soyuz aborted and landed safety, but history of space shows us the many disasters and losses over the years since 1957!?
Space is still in its infancy and those designers and engineers may have access to newer kit, computers and materials but the old problems of human mistakes remain?
We see the genius of Elon Musk being wasted on his spiff of marijuana, what if something in his flawed design not seen lead to a similar incident with space tourism one knows not many of these fantasy spaceships have lifeboats?
We are some 500 years away from anything like even the first science fiction Star trek ship, if one is ever built? Outer space flight is revealing obstacles and debris in the outer reaches! We still are not clear on the effects of radiation in stellar space, we know that in our own space around the gravitational field of our sun it could lead to sterilisation!

Chemical Weapons. Part-One.
Delivery Systems.
Big news in the United Kingdom, is the alleged murder by the Russian secret services of a former traitor by a nerve agent known as Novichek, which was created in the soviet era 1970 to 1985?
We don't usually discuss this type of subject here, but most of these chemicals used in warfare have to have some kind of delivery system? Most are used in a bomb, missile or shell and most nations use legal weapons, but they still cause tremendous damage and leave people crippled!
The British hold many dangerous substances at their Porten Down facility, but so does the U.S.A., Republic of China and N.A.T.O. members. Many agreements have been signed to end the use of these weapons that also include Anthrax and Mustard gas and they are banned around the globe?
The problem with nerve agents and chemicals is that no one can really do much and how they are delivered remains a problem for detection. Britain is acting in the wrong way at this time and we could soon be facing another world war just over the spite of one silly woman covering her tracks of lies to her own people?
But if it is true, and these agents are in the hands of rouge elements, from gangsters to Terrorists then we are in some serious trouble!

U.S.A. Space Expansion.
Trump Promises.
Space exploration will perhaps make the United States of America great again, much has been promised and one thinks Mr. Trump will try! The Space-X testing and return missions are improved and now working, but they are a chance thing, which remain to dangerous to put humans into space?
Co-operation with Russia may lead to the combination of Shuttle technology to develop newer systems to have that very good re-usable platform again? Plans to build a Moon base and to have a half point station to Mars will lead within the next thirty years to getting people living on the red planet.
Space also offers much research into the use of tougher materials for building, that will be cheaper than relying on metals? There are many new needs of investigations to get underway in relation to sending robotic ships to land on Pluto, investigate Uranus and Neptune and a few more interesting places too?

In the Big Country. Part-One.
Railways in their own Right.
Australia.
To get from A-to B railways are the best for the movement of goods and minerals, Melbourne to Perth and Darwin to Melbourne via Alice Springs in now part of the life line of this Island continent. Australia's out back is harsh, lonely and extremely dangerous.
The trains that cross these wildernesses are operated by hard crews and their machines are some of the best in the world. Australia has plenty of mineral resources from copper and Iron ore to bauxite and Uranium. Many areas of mining are now undertaken by robotic controlled trucks, because of their toxic nature.
The railroad is inland and safer, some countries may use their coasts for shipping, Australia does not have that option, because the mineral's are located in the heart of the continent.

Submarines.
This is perhaps the least most exploited technology for civil use re-cargo and passenger travel. Yes I recognise that there are various mini submersibles for deep sea research and exploration, but why are their no cargo vessels or commercial liners for under the sea? Is it to dangerous or to expensive, or is there no real interest?
