When fighting in close combat on the battlefield it is difficult to insure ones safety while advancing. The enemy will no doubt unleash a barrage of gunfire, as well as well placed mortar rounds all around your advancement. Your team will use all sorts of trained tactics to over come these things, with special teams and special weapons.

Hand-grenades are a tool that the modern day soldier can use and is often a favorable weapon indeed. But you can only throw it so far and thus your enemy need not worry about such things until you get close. If you stand up to use your whole body to throw it further using all the human kinetic energy, forward motion, muscle twitch and adrenaline possible you are liable to be shot, before you can throw it. If you do not throw it far enough you have wasted it and perhaps too easily given a better pinpoint of your position.

It has been proposed recently by a think tanker (me) that the US Military needs to have flying and steerable hand grenades for the US Marine Corp and the United States Army. Small hand thrown hand grenades, which power up and propel them selves towards the enemy like a rocket propelled grenade without the firing unit. Envisioned are hand grenades where expandable wings pop out and inflate and a little rocket motor ignites and it flies towards the enemy. In route it will be steered from a foxhole or safe refuge. Think on this in 2006.

As we make breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and begin to build the robotic android assistants of the future we will be faced with many programming challenges you see. For instance human-machine bonding issues, trust and even something as simple as a sense of humor, which pleases humans in normal human-to-human interactions. Unfortunately something we humans perceive as simple is not so simple to program. Yet, true artificial intelligence ought to be able to create a joke and tell it on its own, without simply being pre-programmed to say a known human line of comedy you see?

A difficult task indeed and this is why it was recently brought up in an online think tank. One online thinker; Mr. Keith Rowell states; “I would be curious to see any examples you can show of how intended humor from AI was successful.”

Excellent point; Indeed, me too, I am very interested in this subject now that you have re-brought it to my attention. I am curious as well and maybe this is what our artificial intelligent programmers need to design, curious inquisitive artificial intelligence, which will go and seek information and perhaps it may find its own solution for creativity and then it can explain it back to all of us who study the human mind and cannot for the life of figure out how it all works or why?

Just think an Artificial Intelligent Robot to work along humans as assistants while being the funniest person on the crew or team. Interesting indeed. Perhaps we should consider all this in 2006; it appears to be possible, but it is going to be the ultimate challenge indeed.

Well the nut cases are out in full force I thought when I read someone on an online think tank state that we should put stationary bicycles in space craft and use the energy to charge the batteries or at least keep them topped off?

Whoooaa, I thought now we have plans to build our own human powered spacecraft? Yet as I got to think about it and followed the thread it actually makes sense in a way. There are numerous examples of human powered contraptions, from the Gossamer Albatross aircraft on down. There are LED circuit boards, lights and all sorts of low wattage devices available. Running on .5 watts and 4 watts.

Additionally astronauts must exercise anyway to stay in shape and prevent deterioration of their bodies, why waste that energy? So even if lets say an astronaut workout put out only 90 watts of power. If many of your subsystems only need 4 watts, that is worthy of mention and may as well not waste it. Never waste energy. Anyone can waste energy, efficiency is the key.

Regarding submarines, small future subs with small crews (1-3 man) cannot have nuclear power and the smaller the motor the better. Keeping batteries topped off is smart. I have a small tiny inverter for my car, which is 250 watts and it can run lots of things and small devices. You have to exercise anyway. Well I guess it really does make sense to use human energy even if only a little bit to add to the batteries of our spacecraft? Silly me, why didn’t I think of that?

Many believe there is life on Mars and many do not know what type; whether it be microbial life, complex life or the biggie intelligent life. Recently this thought and discussion re-emerged in an online think tank. When a fellow think tanker contemplated regarding life on Mars and stated perhaps there is and then suggest such a life form could be a; “temperature resistant armored lizards that dig their way through an extensive network of underground caves?”

Indeed this could be possible a shelled creature underground working off CO2 rather than oxygen like on Earth. Here are some other thoughts;

All interesting topics indeed. The conversation and discussion was taken up a notch with the fellow thinker stated; “I’ve seen how the media hype affected plans of NASA’s Mars observation with the whole “Alien Face” hoopla.”

Yes, well remember there is good synergy there with some 14 million “Coast to Coast AM” radio show listeners, several books out and NASA needs to re-unite itself with mainstream “Hollywood” and make things of “public interest” as most people are more concerned with what hair styles “Paris Hilton” is wearing than the forward progression of the Human race in the future of space. I say put Paris Hilton in an F-15, take her up in SpaceShip One and let her go to the Alabama Space Camp for NASA. And film the whole darn thing.

Whatever it takes to mainstream the Space Race, because this is what dreams are made of and as I study my ancestors who came over on the Mayflower and the founding of some of the greatest civilizations in human history, I see a lot of possibilities if we will simply commit to boldly go without the bureaucracy and BS. Just Do It, borrowing a thought from Phil Knight. So, consider all this in 2006.
