Space X


Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 01 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous)



The Space x launch of astronauts to the ISS has been a success and everyone is to be congratulated on a fantastic technical mission which has so far succeeded. I watched with some consternation the look of glee on some astronauts, astronomers and administrators faces. NASA can leave going to the Moon to commercial organisations, and it could now concentrate on going to Mars. It is my opinion that space organisations such as NASA should confirm whether there is life or not on Mars. If there is life on Mars, then humans should not go there.

It is almost certain that a human colony on Mars will infest and infect the environment with microbes and viruses from the Earth and human detritus. Mars should be left alone as a pristine environment for scientific study without being colonised and commercialised.

Mars could already have been infected with Earth microbes, and it might already not be possible to confirm that any life discovered on the red planet originated there.

Le lancement des astronautes par Space x à bord de l'ISS a été un succès et tout le monde doit être félicité pour une fantastique mission technique qui a jusqu'à présent réussi. Cependant, j'ai regardé avec consternation le regard de joie sur le visage de certains astronautes, astronomes et administrateurs. La NASA peut laisser aller sur la Lune à des organisations commerciales, et elle pourrait désormais se concentrer sur Mars. Je pense que les organisations spatiales telles que la NASA devraient confirmer s'il y a de la vie sur Mars ou non. S'il y a de la vie sur Mars, les humains ne devraient pas y aller.


Il est presque certain qu'une colonie humaine sur Mars infestera et infectera l'environnement avec des microbes et des virus de la Terre et des détritus humains. Mars devrait être laissé seul comme un environnement vierge pour l'étude scientifique sans être colonisé et commercialisé.

Mars pourrait déjà avoir été infecté par des microbes terrestres, et il pourrait déjà ne pas être possible de confirmer que toute vie découverte sur la planète rouge y est originaire.

I'm taking a break - Je vais me reposer un moment

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 24 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) I am now finding that writing a daily blog is becoming more of a chore than a pleasure and that it is becoming harder to think of new ideas. I shall therefore be taking a rest for a while.

The Voyager Golden Record - Le disque d'Or de Voyager

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 18 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) Will alien civilisations find us? It is possible that aliens will receive radio and television signals, which have been broadcast within the last century, or so. The aliens would have to be relatively close, nearer than 200 light years. They would have to send a message back and that would take 100 years assuming that the aliens had the ability and desire to talk to us. All this sounds very unlikely. The is another possibility: the 2 Voyager spacecraft launched to observe the outer planets of the solar system, in 1977, are now in interstellar space. Both spacecraft contain “time capsules” with messages and audio-visual images of the way of life on earth. The “time capsules” were in fact phonographic records engraved onto gold plated copper discs which could last for billions of years. Both spacecraft are now in interstellar space, but they are not even 1 light day from the earth. In abou...

Spontaneity

Thoughts in Darrick Wood by Trevor Morgan 23 June 2020 (traduction française ci-dessous) For me, a social life needs some spontaneity. I like to walk in Darrick Wood whenever I feel like it. Sometimes, my wife and I decide to walk through the woods but then continue to the village of Downe. In Downe, we often used to stop in the “Queen’s Head” pub and drink a pint of the best kept beer in London and have lunch. This was great, but these days it seems so far away. On 4th of July the government is proposing that pubs should be allowed to re-open under social distancing rules. It looks like we will be asked to book our slot in the pub in advance. This means strolling to a timetable; none of the spontaneity, of going for a long walk in the country and stopping off for a drink, will remain. I am in two minds about this. Yes, the economy needs to be protected as should pub life, but does this mean that I must book in for a pint? Booking in is ok to go to a restaurant for a formal meal b...
