Premium Member Asteroids

Have you ever considered asteroids for a living place,
if you are a pioneer in the exploration of space?
On any of these countless solar-orbiting rocks,
a space station can be built where a spaceship docks.
They can be stepping-stones during voyages to the stars.
They make it practical to colonize places such as Mars.
We have advanced so far.  Expectations have been exceeded.
Large, expensive rocket boosters will no longer be needed.
Gravitational pull compared to earth’s is just a fraction.
Launching is economical and an easier action.
This would be a fuel saver for a longer journey.
Our progress has made it a plausible possibility.

Premium Member In Fantasy’s Grip

You chase sleep into a dream
without any guarantee.
And dance upon a moonbeam
gilding a navy blue sea.

You may ride a shooting star
simply to know how it feels.
Or view your life from afar
in a series of reveals.

Truths dissipate in dreamland:
their existence, swallowed whole.
For time's but a grain of sand
falling into a black hole.

Dreams let you soar to the stars
on imagination's wings.
And walk the surface of Mars:
or run around Saturn's rings.

Secure in fantasy's grip,
sleep conjures dragons to mount.
Letting reality slip,
there's nothing you can't surmount.

April 3 Look at the sky!

April 3—Look at the sky!

One day the world woke up
To the impending end 
As a new asteroid. 

Quickly dubbed 
The doomsday asteroid
Headed to Earth.

Everyone looked up
At the doomsday asteroid
As the world scrambled
To send space missiles 
To blow it away.

Brazilians, Chinese, the EU, Koreans, Japanese, Iraqis, 
Iranians UAE, Israel,. Indians, Pakistanis,  Russians,  Saudis, 
South Africans, Russians, and Ukrainians.

50 nations all joined the IPDF.
Including to everyone’s surprise
The elusive enigmatic North Koreans.

All join together under a newly formed. 
International Planetary Defense Force
Under the auspices of the UN.

NASA provided the executive leadership
The others all provided parts of the ship,
The software, hardware, and nuclear bombs.

The ship would be unmanned
And was launched worldwide 
Interest as everyone watched
Hoping for the best.

The bombs worked
The asteroid was blown away
With some minor Metroid damage

The IPDF vowed to remain ever-vigilant
And fully funded, with a new mission.

Setting up permanent space colonies
In space stations, the moon, Mars,
The moons of Jupiter and Saturn.

Vowing to have them set up by 2030! 
Using the latest AI-generated 
Research.

The goal to have over 50,000 people
Living and working off the planet.

One of the rare international ventures
That survived the new multi-power 
Global great power conflicts.

Premium Member Running Free

Together as one we shall always be
against the world just you and me
They look and judge but never see
for our love we are running free

Too young to dumb to understand
they never listen just command
Lock you in a room like a cell
away from you is living hell

Apart we could never be
we fled together running free
I am you and you are me
embrace as one plant a seed

Places unknown running far
the night is our blanket of stars
Jump the moon touch Heaven's gate
within ourselves is our escape

Our love young but our love is real
taste of honey more than a thrill
I cling to you as you cling to me
inside you lives our new baby

Running free running hard
Venus tumbles falling Mars
earth below screaming scars
back home bedroom window has bars.

Her Mission

She stepped on Mars,
Wondering, from there, if she could see the  stars. 

Lovingly kissed its soil. 
Her desire to explore began to boil. 

The Red Planet welcomed her with a red carpet. 
To the strange noises around, she is not a puppet. 
		
She's clear about why she was there
She shall traverse the land to find out the life's trace. 

She is a woman with super abilities
Her Mars mission is set to survey life's possibilities

She shall sojourn there for quite sometime
Takes us all to stay there for a lifetime. 

She wants from us, a little assurance
that we shall not cause to its peace any disturbance.

She assures, she tries her best to set up a livable hamlet
Only if we don't disfigure it, like we did to our mother planet.

Premium Member Time

The clock was ticking and the countdown had begun, the moment had now arrived  when myself and six other astronauts would blast off from Cape Kennedy.                                                 

We were going out to deep infinite space on the first manned mission to Mars, that would take six months  to complete with the hope of colonizing the red planet for the eternal good of all mankind.

I couldnt help but think that we the human race had not done a good  job so far of looking after our own planet earth with pollution, terrorism and wars and still people on earth did not have shelter or enough food to eat. 

My thoughts came back to the present as a voice from mission control 
came over the radio, "54321 ignition, we have lift off, we are go" . 
The time had now come to leave the past behind and to create history.

Premium Member An Escape Rocket In 1964

Fine November evening in 1964, when rocket ships were in vogue.
This one was no different, except it had been built by my family
As an escape device, in case the Cold War became a hot one.
We were afraid of Russia, of course. And the atom bomb.

A dragon sky of many hues winked in the distance;
She was blowing fire to the west, in the form of a sunset
Our red ruby rocket stood ready, in full launch mode.
All we had to do was add fuel and push the button.

Will we land in Saturn or Mars? We wondered. But Daddy was silent.
He said not to worry, but this was the sixties. People were assassinated.
The mist upon the turquoise lake gave me a feeling of calm.
Surely the Russians were not going to push the button tonight. Right?

Premium Member Someday Soon

Oh! Someday soon we well travel beyond the stars.
Bypassing Jupiter, Venus and even Mars.
We will freely fly away beyond the sun,
and the moon.

Oh! Someday soon Jesus Christ, our beloved
Bride Groom will appear.  In the middle of
the cloudy air.  We shall be meet the dead
in Christ there. "Chasing the blues away."

Oh! Someday soon in the twinkling of an eye.
With the transformed saints we will fly into
heaven's sky.  By the time the last trumpet's
sounds, we would have already left Earth's ground.

Oh! Someday soon the rapture of the church will
come, and we will be together, forever with God's
only begotten Son. Our mortal bodies with all
of our age and infirmities will have passed away.

Oh! Someday soon it will really be happy days.
Because Jesus Christ died to take all our sins away.
He sacrificed his earthly life by taking our places.
Rescuing the willing members of the human race.

Love in Christ Jesus!

Colortura Differential Scanning Calorimeter

The Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik
Melting and Annealing Process Company
was Established in @029

He was no engineer! He thought he
was smart but he was actually foolish.

One of his Gal Companions told
him to stop breathing on her candy bar.
She liked Mars candy bars and he she said to him
to stop breathing on her candy.
He got an idea from that!
He had heard that Moxie was breathing on the Martian
surface. And
a discussion leaned toward finding diamonds on the Martian surface.
Well days went by and he couldn't
stop talking about the woman and her candy.
A guy told him to change the subject
that he thought
man could use a process to man gold and quarts.
He said One ton of sand and 1/2 ton of iron particles 
from the iron grinding industry
mixed with calcium oxide
sodium oxide
and magnesium oxide
he would allow rusted iron and water to form
and would use it to create a reaction
so the oxided slurry would
form over the sand mixture
were a process of quart create and gold
separation could occur. He found the process would take to long to generate wealth: but
he found that a reformation of melted sand could crystalize and create beautiful crystal that would be valuable
in shaping to create valuable pieces.

Premium Member Dream Alone

They were good friends when they were young…they’d lie together under the stars…he’d search for constellations…she loved Jupiter and Mars.

The two of them were so young all they had to do it seemed…was to laugh and play and sit together under the stars…and dream.

And oh the dreams they dreamed…of things they’d do and the places they would go…never realizing at such an innocent age…there was much they did not know.

They didn’t know on those evenings looking up at the stars from her backyard that life would not always be that easy…or would hit her quite so hard.

As she grew up her life became one of sadness, of sorrow, of uncertainty and doubt.
He saw her sinking into a quicksand of depression…but he could not pull her out.

She left him a note the day she killed herself with instructions to read it…under either Jupiter or Mars…It read: I’m sorry to be leaving you but there’s just too much darkness between the stars.

He rereads her note often…on nights sitting under a starlit sky
and even after all these years…he still can’t help but wonder why…

Why he couldn’t help her find a way through her sadness…over the terror of her starkness…a way to help her see the stars…instead of all the darkness.

As he looks up at the stars today he tells her, “I’m still missing you…and I am sad for all the dreams we made that never will come true.”

“And I have to tell you something when we were young we couldn’t possibly have known…
It’s not as much fun dreaming…when you have to dream alone.”
