You have a good opinion. Do you have any suggestions for today’s drama? Science evolves over time. I knew this would be an investment. It will not make money until a long time because it is not designed to generate profit it is designed to generate food.

In the future there could be a cost of an O.F.F.A to have a child it would need very little maintenance. All computer operated with gears not signals. Like a symphony of science. But if one orbit farm covered 1 person for life. I just solved world hunger
 
Look it up here!


You can creatively customize anything in space from the matter and energy resources of space (solar energies, the moons, the asteroids, and so on). And multiply Earth's surface in the solar system alone in (near) 2-d manmade in-space city-state surfaces and other custom facility surfaces by thousands to millions of times.

Design Studies, NASA's, etc.:

if there is any shrank atoms obtainable while in orbit. Then perhaps they can be obtained through a strong EMF a heated filter.
My theory involves anti matter possibly being frozen atom. Theoretically antimatter might be obtainable in space. If anything is obtained in filter. We could do science to see if we have any tools to work with.

This is just a crazy theory that involves chemistry keeping the earth rotated and the sun actually gives off atoms that eventually shrink and freeze and even form objects.

I had fun thinking how water would possibly be obtained and an emf should create a flow of anything in space. But would there be a filter small enough to enlarge these below microscopic particles..,

This is not real just an idea added to the orbit farm. I do not have any knowledge of math behind it or experiments possible to test this.

I did like thinking cuz it was free.
 
It's fun to think about the day when we can travel the stars and find planets in the right zones under the right conditions to be colonized, if they aren't already.

But I think I am one of the very few who realize there is only one viable route to reach that point. Occupation of our own solar system via mass in-space colonization. Brute force, broad front, inventive, innovative, modeling of the galaxy in our own solar system: Progressive shrinkage of our own system; stepping stones from the model to the modeled.

The above way is the surest way to the galaxy . . . and to survival in gaining space and, concomitantly, gaining time. Trying to shortcut it is looking for technical miracles in the poverty of one miraculous chance in an astronomical infinity of otherwise void.

I know Nikola Tesla was something else. With my scientific theories I have tried to look to my past role models like Einstein for answers. In all my chemistry theories. I found the best attitude to have is “the answer is always in front of you.”

Like when I realized the sun is the most factor of weather. I thought of a funny scenario where an alien told the Aztecs the sun makes it rain so they sacrificed men to it. That was just a funny thought. I wanted to make a rain machine. I got as far as trying to harness the sun. And it’s biproducts
 
I studied for a ten week semester at a desk with a window overlooking a parking lot illuminated by a streetlight. All summer long the local radio station ran a contest with daily clues about a mystery object. I sat there ten weeks putting clues together and couldn't solve it. It turned out to be the light in the parking lot. I remember one of the clues was "a bright light up above us". It was right in front of me the whole time. I kept staring at that light the whole time thinking "Hmmm....now what could it be?"

for me it was a good test taking strategy. And I brain stormed for days wondering how could make it rain. Then it hit me the answer has been there the whole time.

I just have to find a way to mimic or stimulate its process.

Possibly zero.

There is somewhat of a stand off feeling of the current wars. I’m hoping we can solve our problems with ingenuity not war.
. We could hire 500 people to plant 20 trees a day where they originate in a wearhouse. We could even develop a truck that automatically plants the tree. It’s a long investment but those 500 people would create 10000 trees a day for wood crafting enabling more jobs. We could also start making glass products opening jobs that are cheap to pay for.

I think we mainly should invest in a robotic self sustaining low maintenance farming systems. We already have tractor operated harvesters I believe with technology robots could supply a lot more food. When I say robot I mean a programmed machine not a super computer

Apparently to me, you, among so many, many, others, don't understand negative entropy as it applies to life in a closed womb world isolating itself from outer-space and time frontier . . . isolating itself from any real beginning birth from the womb-world. What it means within the box.

Stephen Hawking understood. Which is why he gave Mankind an optimistic 1,000 more years before extinction if it did not begin break out in beginning birth out today! Not tomorrow! Ever tomorrow and not today! It is going to take the essential gold, the essential energies, forces, magnitudes, of artificial gravity creation, a basic support or food of life you might say, a basic essential of life, to do it. Nothing less!

I concur that we will have trouble making it 1000 years without countries unifying. Instead of war. I have theorized that some religions or forms of government would fast to save money. If we had programs such as tree planting and harvesting we open industries of building warehouses to start farm production.

My tree planting idea is not well calculated but I figured it would make a profit because wood tripled in 10 years. I also have job expanding ideas that involve making glass out of sand. A rich man could create endless jobs in my mind.

I feel like they do not because they do not need to and there is only so much food to go around. But if we can master space farming such as a craft that expands to a greenhouse holding 2000 plants and having a extremely low maintenance system maybe once every 24 months

I know it’s wishful thinking. I was thinking poles that expand a 6x6x20 space with easy design we can get 18x18x60 using extension rods and a layer of insulation space air that helps keep plants at proper temperature.

Now I have made drawings of all the parts such as auto harvesters that all use artificial gravity to harvest potatoes. If 2000 pounds of potatoes is your goal then you will need two layers at 18x60=1080 x2 = 2160 pounds of potatoes.

This could operate with timed hydroponic seeds were the next ones are exposed to moisture after the first harvest. If you could grow 1 pound of potato per foot then you are more likely to have an auto harvester where the plant can be harvested whole. Let go into collection chambers and then released at a point in its orbit where it drifts to earth.

This all wishful thinking especially obtaining water in space. But if our population wants to reach 100 billion in even 200 years we need to find better farming methods. Space has no land tax and no cost of land. It’s a long shot saying I will get to eat a space banana. But I have drawn theoretical schematics to obtain food from space
