Spaceflight and the MidAirport

Because so many spaceflight missions will coincide with the action of the MidAirport, we now prepare for spaceflight and their scientific potentials and energy techniques useful for upper-atmosphere and space travel. We also recommend that US DOT and NASA become attached.

Using Stanley Meyer's water fracturing strategem, we can easily produce seperate tanks of hydrogen and oxygen. These tanks, as gasses, would be lighter than a tank of water due to their density and the prevaling atmosphere. However, their weight when compressed may be different and break atmospheric buoyancy. Nevertheless, a spacecraft containing hydrogen and oxygen fuel instead of a hydrocarbon based fuel would produce substantially more energy per pound, allowing spaceflight to become much easier and less labor intensive. We can produce these materials today, without the water fracturing strategem.

Performing this action from the equator would be the lowest possibly energy level of task. It would use a large and heavy amount of hydrogen and oxygen fuel. Performing it from the top of the midairport, as high as contained helium gas can meaningfully elevate a zeppelin, possibly as high as 25-50 miles in altitude, would be a much lesser task, and begin at a much higher potential of energy.

The majority of the fuel required by a space task is escaping earth's atmosphere. If that could be overcome by a degree of 80%, space science would become more of a possibility. However, before accomplishing major space initiatives, we should accomplish major earth initiatives, such as twomillionwells.blogspot.com, or receiptforlabor.blogspot.com, or thepowercompany.blogspot.com.

A spacecraft could have that split water to accomplish the principle escape thrust of a planetary gravity, but once in space navigation should be simple. Also, when experiencing reentry a spacecraft has massive amounts of energy to play with, so turning that evenly into usable energy instead of merely velocity should be a simple task. Even landing at 25 miles altitude on a spacepad should be accomplishable by gliding along the earth's atmosphere until reaching the appropriate area and then moving in.

What goals are to be accomplished in space? Space need not be a living space, earth can provide all the space and industrial support an intelligent race could need. Abundant water, minerals, natural resources, a healthy electromagnetic sphere, and an environment we are still technically suited for. Space could be excellent for vacationing, for broadcast, for astronomy and other physical and pure science. Space seems more like the highway between places than a place itself. The moon could be a place to visit and broadcast events to the earth from stationary locations rather than by orbiting satellites.

The moon could also be an excellent staging ground for interplanetary or interstellar flight someday. The moon has low gravity for low takeoff expense, but is stable and close to earth. We could launch space journeys from the top of the MidAirport and make the moon a base of operations like a giant space station, with certain laboratories or refineries, industrial or production facilities for custom repair or other works, and be a chemical refuelling station or store or conduct tests of large amounts of electromagnetic energy there. We could establish a different kind of MidAirport on the moon to further reduce takeoff expense, [or simply use the motionless electromagnetic generator MEG] for all the power one would need for lift off.

We must examine the potentials of non-chemical force production. It is inefficient to rely on chemical rocketry for all of our thrusting needs. One of MidAirport's next major steps will be to electricity's bedroom.

Bigelow Aerospace is also working on the space elevator. As well as Liftport Group.

The Latest

I would expect the Midairport to be constructed off-site from the critical materials and floated complete into place. It could be constructed in even hundreds of individual portions and assembled in air, tethered one by one to the main whole, and then inflated as appropriate. The entire construction could be 5 miles long. A layout of 5 miles by one mile would probably be one of the best organizations to serve an entire metro region suitable for service through 2030 or later.

This airport replacement would also be a wonderful opportunity for greenspace and urban diffusion. It would increase the land values around the region equal to or greater than the cost of the project itself. Pollution would plummet, noise from the airport would cease, and suitable parking could be acquired around the base. The structure could also serve as a major wind turbine site, solar collector, lightning rod, broadcast tower, and eventually a spaceport and upper atmosphere launch site. It will save on jet fuel and allow for safer take offs and landings with appropriate construction and safety features. It is undeniably profitable and will service humanity far better than normal airports.
