I know that NASA is exellant.I just want to say that my thoughts are quit simmilar to your thoughts.It is very dangerous to us that space shuttles are polluting the space by a lot of garbage.The ozone layer will be broken or damaged in few years.pleas take a action ..
solar panel idea, for mars rover!
June 13, 2009 by Anonymous, 3 weeks 5 hours ago
Comment id: 37237
Hi,
My name is Jeff and I have recently come up with some ideas surrounding solar panels and possible solutions to fix the issue of dust and other contaminants that settle on the panel reducing it’s efficiency greatly! Unlike here on earth, you cannot simply send someone to clean the panel, you are at the mercy of the surrounding elements and where the survival of rovers on mars and possibly other worlds in the near future solar is king! we need to have clean panels, but as shown on the current rovers on mars, it is a massive task keeping the rovers panels generating enough power, due to dust and dirt settling on them and weeks even many months sometimes has been lost due to this problem. My idea should eliminate the problem almost completely and allow for a much greater percentage of the maximum efficiency of the panel. In these hi maintenance conditions where a clean solar source means a much longer mission life and far greater power level throughout the mission, making it possible to do more in the same time. What I have come up with is lightweight enough to be viable to ad to a rover and simple enough to have longevity! This could be a very useful technology here on earth as well, for keeping cleaning maintenance low on remote or hard to get to solar panels like ones commonly used in remote telecommunication and scientific sensor stations! If anyone is interested in more information about my idea or wants to help or even put me in contact with some who would be interested in this technology please email me at glimpse79@gmail.com

I have an idea which can be used to make it possible for the research crafts to enter the sun s atmosphere. This can be used to make the recent solar atmosphere study intended spacecraft more logically and practically designed.I have always dreamt of working in NASA.So, if my idea can get support I would really be interested to work in NASA. kamat.ajith@gmail.com

Alternative Technology To Save Fuel During Space Launch
May 18, 2008 by Richard Rubendra, 1 year 6 weeks ago
Comment id: 29918
Current global concerns with regard to consumption of fuel and propulson chemicals is focussed on refining the current methodology ie: burning, combustion technology.
I would like to see research shift away from this primitive technology to a frictionless, electromagnetic system that uses compression and opposing magnetic field technology to impel space bound vehicles into the upper atmosphere to escape gravitational forces. A space vehicle with a combined system of this technology and jet propulsion systems would see an increased efficiency in distance gained to fuel used. Lighter loads for vehicles would mean less fuel required to escape the atmosphere. A vertical launch tube within which such a space vehicle could be housed and launched from is one model. That way the onus of energy required to launch remains on the planet and thereby removes the load from the space vehicle.
A More Responsive and Sensitive Heart Pacemaker
May 18, 2008 by Anonymous, 1 year 6 weeks ago
Comment id: 29917
Submitted by Richard Rubendra (Brisbane Australia)
Current microcircuitary based heart pacemakers are based on responding to the a threshold feedback signal that triggers a fixed electronic response to the cardiac muscle to stimulate the heart to beat and therefore contract.
My idea is to design a pacemaker with a chemical sensory probe that detects the relative levels of blood CO2 in the form of HCO2 as a more accurate means to enable (on a sliding scale) a more accurate variable electronic response to stimulate appropriate heart rates and subsequent oxygenation of blood.
NASA needs to branch out into this and similar areas to generate innovation.
RAPID BRAIN MATHEMATICAL COMPUTATION
November 7, 2007 by Anonymous, 1 year 34 weeks ago
Comment id: 25850
Hi,
My name is Chibuzor Okpeh, over the years I have been studying the psychology of the brian in doing mathematical computation without assistance of writing the solution to such mathematical related questions down or being assisted by using calculating devices.
Further more, I conceived a discovery on how one can do multiplication of larger digits of numbers with the brain more rapidly. Take for instance if you were asked $14 multplied by 5, can you give an answer response without being assisted by calculating devices or writing it down in solving the question, in 5seconds? That I have discovered how to do such calculation with the brain.
I want people to share my discovery with me, I am a science student.

There is no straight motion in the universe. only circular motion. There is no doubt for that, even the light, everything.I am sure that.Even the gravitaion is its effect. think about it.

Hi,
I don't know whom I am expressing my inner feelings. I am an engineer "Metallurgy and Material Science" and wanted to explore some of my ideas. I had a very strong reason to do this; which i wanted to give this world in my small period of life. Hope you can understand my thoughts and give me one chance to prove my self. so many things which i have been noted down "mind" which is in very creative way.

Anti Piracy software
February 21, 2007 by Anonymous, 2 years 19 weeks ago
Comment id: 17386
Hi ,
Well this is Amiya from Birlasoft,Hyderabad,India.
This mail is an proposal for launching of very important software known as ANTI PIRACY SOTWARE.
We all know what a Anti Virus s/w does and how is it important .
But do we know that we want something more, which will prevent our s/w been used as pirated s/w in the market. Here comes the s/w which will prevent all piracy in the future. The name of s/w is none other than ANTI PIRACY SOFTWARE.
Brief Description: Now a days there are various software product launched by different product based s/w companies may it be a OS, a game s/w , an music s/w,etc. But it is not sold at at the defined price by the company. The reason being for this is that this s/w is being used as pirated s/w by users.
For Example : Now a days Windows Vista will be launching its product , but it does not ensure anti piracy of its product . as a result of which the organization looses so much revenue. Our anti piracy s/w will ensure its anti piracy . similarly , we feel this product of ours can protect most of the s/w to be released in the near future .
our Proposal: our proposal is that , We have found out a s/w with its various performances which will prevent the end users to use the Pirated s/w and as a result the Organization which launches its s/w will always get the satisfaction of selling their product at a defined price.
Thus in the achieve of this goal will furnish Google to launch an anti piracy s/w which will in turn result in a huge revenue growth.
Things we will be doing to make this product successful is that, initially we will start up with the presentation of our s/w . If the organization feels its worth investing in the launch of this product , we will give and end to end support for successful completion of launching of the s/w.
Future of this Product :
1. there are lots of s/w launched by different companies , But the piracy has not yet been stopped to that level as the organization might be expecting . This product will ensure the complete removal of piracy software in the market in the days to come.
Note:
1. Before proceeding forward we need an confirmation mail from the organization as a reply to this mail .
2. Then only we will be forwarding our proposal fully.
3. This mail is only an vague type of imagination given to have an overview of an high level understanding.
4. Brief proposal can be given only upon request and a lot depends on the interest of the organization.
Waiting for an active and interest shown reply from the organization concerned.
Thanks and regards

its great that NASA is doing a great job in space research but u know day by day pollution level is going up and these space shuttles contribute a lot to it.Its important to do something to improve the ozone condition.find a process to reduce air pollution.we need take a immmediate action to control it otherwise we will be in lot of trouble..
Extra Terrestrial Life

I agree with Mr. Bittick in the fact that we need to start researching better ways of getting to the stars first. However, with all the hoopla about being visited by aliens it dawns on me that they may not wish to communicate with us untill we get our own planet straight.
I mean think about it, You're an advanced civilization watching what looks like a planet full of monkeys run around killing themselves. What we see as everyday life they can see as an ifectious species.
I have no doubt that they will call upon us in the future but it won't be untill we get our s**t straightened out. So let's put our funding and research to good uses and get us up to the stars. In the mean time I think we need to try and get along quite a bit better before thinking about communicating with an advanced civilization.
Better use of funding

In a recent discussion forum, we were talking about possibilities of life on other planets. The subject of Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence or S.E.T.I. (for short) came up.
The discussion was fairly split. Some loyal to the cause of SETI and believe firmly in what they are doing, and those that thought it was a total waste of time.
Someone mentioned:
The universe is somewhere around 13 billion years old.
Earth may be somewhere around 5 billion years old.
In 5 billion years we developed life, and intelligent life at that! (Arguably) Wink
that leaves 8 billion years before that.
It is plausible that somewhere life evolved and given the possible head start
they could have had on us, could be billions of years ahead of us.
Much back and forth about the worthiness of the program, so I then responded:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all; all electromagnetic radiation (which includes radio waves, microwaves, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays) will spread out with distance and will, at some point, become too dim to be observable, so we may not even receive anything understandable anyway. OR we may have already received something (if it was in the radio spectrum) and we filtered it out, because it was merely background static, mixed in with that of nebulae.
Even if there is intelligent life out there, (which I believe there may be) by the time we receive a message, the civilization may be extinct, or just so evolved beyond our own level (technologically or biologically) that we couldn't communicate with them anyway.
If there was a species out there that sent messages out into space, they would have had to do it around the same (or similar) timeframe of development that we are in. Now keep in mind, that this would be a time frame of only about 100 years out of possible thousands, or even millions of years of scientific development.
That could have been billions of years ago. Even if they are still sending messages out... to unknown recipients(or each other), if they are even a bit more advanced than us, do you really think that they would still be using the radio spectrum to send those messages/signals? If a species did become intelligent, and it's civilization lasted long enough to get to our level, or beyond; if they were 50 years more advanced than us(much less a thousand? Or a billion or two?) They would not be using radio spectrum. Many researchers believe that in less than 50 years we will be hardly using that spectrum ourselves, if at all.
I think they (Extra Terrestrial Life) would have a means of communicating that is so far beyond us now, the comparison would be worse than cro-magnum man trying to figure out encrypted messages sent via satellite, with no computer. We don't have the capability to receive such messages, language used, programming language used, or even an understanding of the means of which the message is being transmitted.
If there is life out there, I don't believe that we can understand there messages, or even HOW they are sending it. If we do want to reach out to the stars, we may be better off putting that money towards other research like new power sources( Zero Point Energy, antimatter, Solar Power, fusion, or a more efficient fission), or Propulsion research (Ion thrusters, Solar Sail, magnetic field engine) These would be more useful uses of that money.
Get us out there. Advance the technology for advanced navigation, optical computers, more efficient manufacturing processes, Cryo-Technology. Once some of these are done, And with a more advanced knowledge of physics, we may reach the stars.
In the meantime, we continue to explore our own solar system through telescopes, rovers, and manned missions. So that we can grasp a more solid understanding of the universe one step at a time, before we actually get there.

A free news ticker thing for people's cell phones thats free for them to get sent to them, through some kind of text message or something you can check periodically....also, for phones that can handle it, perhaps you could get random pictures from space sent to them!
