Mahaksa Das:We know stories from history about humans or other living beings borne on this planet have try to build a means to go to upper planetary systems. We know about Ravana who had tried to build staircase or Babylonians to build a tower which will reach the heaven.<\/p>\n
As time passes humans try to get out of the inner atmosphere of their mother Earth. Some people from recent history even claim that they have carried four cars on the star named Moon, and one of the cosmonauts was \u201ceven\u201d driving the car there. Each car cost to taxpayer app. 20 000 000 dollars and looks like a simple construction with four wheels which fifteen years old boy can construct for 50 dollars with little help of father.<\/p>\n
The modern utmost progressed and most powerful civilization ever the sunshine saw has a proposal of space elevator by 2050. Oh, yes, the space \u201cstaircase\u201d is to childish story to believe it, and the \u201ctower\u201d is too comical. But a space \u201celevator\u201d is something what is truly worth of such progressed civilization ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cJapanese Firm Plans Space Elevator to Run by 2050<\/p>\n
Japanese construction company Obayashi has announced that it plans to build a space elevator by the year 2050, as reported by Australia\u2019s ABC news.<\/p>\n
If built, the elevator would revolutionize space travel, reducing the cost of putting materials into space exponentially.<\/p>\n
The company pointed towards the increases in carbon nanotube technology, which is slowly making this dream a reality. One researcher, Yoji Ishikawa, says about the nanotubes that “The tensile strength is almost a hundred times stronger than steel cable so it’s possible. Right now we can’t make the cable long enough. We can only make 3-centimetre-long nanotubes but we need much more… we think by 2030 we’ll be able to do it.”<\/p>\n
If the company is successful in building the space elevator, costs of sending materials to space would drastically be reduced. Currently, according to ABC news, it costs roughly $22,000 per kilogram to take cargo into orbit. With a space elevator, the costs would be reduced to around $200.<\/p>\n
If built the space elevator will revolutionize how we view space and our access to it. Obayashi is confident that they can make a climber capable of delivering 30 passengers into space, according to ABC.\u201d<\/p>\n
They can make the cable only three centimeters long! But if taxpayers and national investors will give at least 3 trillions dollars they will surely make it 200 km and lift it to the up. And then, of course, after a work day one will simple sit in the elevator and meet his aunt on the orbit get some talk, have a view over the stars and come back.<\/p>\n
\u201cTherefore Vedic literature says that “Do not waste your time in that way. Better you utilize your valuable time to understand Krsna. Then your life is successful.” Yasmin vijn\u00e4te sarvam eva vijn\u00e4tam bhavanti. If you simply try to understand Krsna, then you’ll understand everything very nicely. Just like we sometimes challenge the big, big scientists, philosophers, psychologists, but we are not psychologist or scientist. Ten years before, in my Easy Journey to Other Planet, I have written that “This moon-going attempt is childish and waste of time.” And still we are challenging that “Mars-going, so-called, it will also fail.” Write it: It will fail. Not that process. So how we are saying? How we are challenging these big, big scientists? Because we know from the Vedic literature that it is not possible to go to the moon planet or Mars in that way<\/p>\n
So the intelligent person, they will try to attempt for this, mad-y\u00e4jino ‘pi y\u00e4nti m\u00e4m. “Let me become a devotee of Krsna so that next life I go directly to Krsnaloka.”<\/p>\n
