What If We Could Have A Permanent Presence In The Deep Oceans?

A presence paid for by another, very necessary requirement, that wouldn't have any trouble at all allowing this sort of basic research need piggyback on what that primary requirement was intent on doing. And what if that primary requirement could also be part of a very useful public works project; a project that was itself the beneficiary of being leveraged by a third necessary requirement, that would also be a great public works project?

What I'm talking about here are two of the three critical technologies I want to see us implement in a big way: Producing liquid hydrogen at sea with Yen Tornado turbines, but doing so on my new, hemp composite, modular sea support platforms, and the construction of the world's first underwater, suspended tunnel, to house the mass driver tube that will give us truly mass transit capability to near earth orbit.

The third technology, hybrid dirigible blimp, air trains, would also be key here, for the hydrogen distribution logistics, as well as a better kind of world public transportation utility.

Building the mass driver tubes puts us at the seafloor of deep oceans because going deep with a starting point gives you the most flexibility in order to get the best balance between the angle of launch incline, and the overall amount of tunnel length, as it is extended down range. And you want to be mindful of that, certainly, because the longer you make it the less acceleration stress (in the number of gravities of acceleration) you need to apply on both your cargo, as well as the launch mechanism itself. And as long term usability, and reliability, will be key components here, that's a mindfulness that will be essential.

It is also a matter of happenstance though. I say that because it just so happens that, with launching from at, or near, the equator, you just tend to end up over some pretty deep ocean anyway.

The sequence of how we proceed will be key as well of course. We will need to start with the sea based platform technology, and integrating that with an effective Yen Tornado Turbine design. That means a lot of setup work not only in verifying the long term viability of the hemp composites in a sea environment, but also in setting up the hemp production streams to support a very vigorous production scenario, probably eventually including virtually every ocean the planet has, and as many places producing hemp as we can get. And that will be needed because it won't be just wind turbines we will need to have floating out there. It will also be living habitat, airfields, and logistics staging areas for various distribution needs.

In the meantime, preliminary work in R&D can begin on what kind engineered configuration of mass driver, and recoil absorption technique, would be best suited to this operating environment. As well as the engineering to survive deep ocean pressures with very large diameter facilites tubing, and base support structures.

This is no trivial undertaking at all, and it will necessarily involve forming partnerships with a good portion of our fellow travelers on this fragile little rock we call home, but that too is essential. Because these big projects must also be seen as the means to start building bridges to cooperation in solving common problems; as opposed to simply creating more destructive, confrontational competition for scarce resources, or markets. Which is itself another reason why getting rid of Capitalism is also required.

The thing is here, this will be the start of not only creating challenging, necessary work for our own people, it will be helping the rest of the planet to the same damn thing. And oh, wouldn't that just be a terrible new direction to be going in. You know actually helping others as you help yourself. One trembles before the unbelievable radicalness of the whole concept.

I urge you to give this some serious thought. It would be a win win for the entire world. All it needs now is for you to be talking about it to everyone you can, everywhere you can.
