Space X-corporations "Falcon" rocket is representing the new way to make rockets. The rocket itself doesn't need massive space centers, and it can operate anywhere, where finds hydrogen and oxygen. The rocket would lift off and land to any helicopter landing site, and the noise of this construction is, of course, the big problem. The normal vehicle, what can be used with this rocket seems to be the ship, where this new kind of shuttle would operate. In the pictures, this rocket operates from normal space centers, but when we are thinking the capacity of this vehicle, in the future it could operate from anywhere, there is no need to avoid the noise.

I know, why also Pentagon is very interested in this kind of rockets, what can use many times. That rocket would allow NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) to send their satellites anywhere from the Earth, and this kind of heavy rockets can also operate with modern miniature shuttles, what can be used as an anti-satellite, reconnaissance and other missions like giving service for satellites. The concept of Falcon would allow making new kind of Moon shuttles, what can travel between Moon and Earth, and bring samples of the dust also from the asteroid belt.


Also, this kind of concept could work as the base for Mars lander, what would bring samples from red planet to the Earth. Those Falcon rockets can also operate with huge airships, and in this scenario, the rocket would transfer to a very big distance from cities by using airship or big cargo-plane, and then it can be launched to the orbital trajectory. This is the very good point when we are thinking about the noise of space rockets.


This kind of concepts can operate from normal airfields, and they can be shoot to the orbiting trajectory far from the sea. When we are thinking about the innovation of this rocket, the engineers might be stolen the idea of this marvelous spacecraft from "Tintin" cartoon, where the main character flies to the moon by using functionally similar rocket than this "Falcon" is.

The miniature and remote controlled space laboratories and their role in science

The term “space station” is not very well understood in the literature.It actually means the structure, what has long-term being in space, and some of those structures are quite small, the laboratories of those vehicles are remotely controlled. The X-37B and other space shuttles can also operate as miniaturized space stations, and they can stay in orbital trajectory very long time. Because they are unmanned, there would make investigations without risking human lives, and that would give more usages for those devices. When the mission is accomplished that space laboratory would land back to earth.


When we are talking about biological experiments, what are made with those small size spacecraft, they can operate years in space. And there would be no risk for human lives. In those remotely controlled laboratories could be released mosquitos and other bugs, and observe their population in the spacecraft. That could give very good information what could happen in spacecraft where some bug would slip in. Also, cell bases can be tested in long-term spaceflight because the risk of cancer might be very big if astronauts would be in space very long periods.


Those very advanced laboratories are remote controlled, and they are equipped with robot hands, what would be used to taking care of those laboratories. The automatized space laboratories could also use in structural tests, where they might equip with systems, what makes electromagnetic power shield around the spaceship. This shield would drive the alpha- and beta rays off the spacecraft core. But those systems might be dangerous because overvoltage can cause problems with computers.


Cargo bay of space-shuttles can be used to bring the asteroids to Earth. The space shuttle can take small stones from the asteroid belt, and put them in the cargo bay. There those rocks would investigate by microscopes and spectrometers, and the most interesting of them might bring to the Earth. Those small shuttles can operate anywhere in the solar system, and they can equip with RTG, and Centaur-stage for maneuvers. Maybe this kind of devices would send to Jovian and Saturnian orbiter to find out the situation in those systems.


If there would be enough big rocket stage in that device, that shuttle can bring the examples from those gas giants to Earth. When they are coming back, the rocket stage would be left this rocket stage behind it. And land in any airfield on Earth. Those missions would spend years, and the use of automatic spacecraft would give those scientists opportunity to do other projects than this one. And that miniature shuttle can be equipped with sophisticated artificial intelligence, what allows them to operate very independently. And if there would bring something, what risks human lives on Earth, could that spaceship burn in sun.
