For weeks now, I have been thinking of possible topics for year-end blog articles. My little area in cyberspace must at least contain something before 2008 will turn over the spacetime to 2009. I am thinking of consolidating the knowledge (trivia, concepts and even patches of information as infotainment) I encountered and learned since January. Or maybe list certain topics I want to learn and to specialize next year. Or maybe anything that enters my chaotic mind. How about tracking my progress on certain physics and math subjects? Or maybe work on some future timelines?
I admit I really have this bad habit of jutting down things to do and creating elaborate timelines but not actually following them. In a day, I usually work on chaotic line up, unstructured process, or in short whatever my mind will tell me to do. So, there is really no point of doing a timeline. Anyway, maybe I should start with anything.
I have decided to start with this:
I am addicted to this new addition of Chowking to their beverage selection. Sjora is indeed refreshing.
On the burger side, Burger King also captured my tongue with this:

What else? Chocolate... that would be from Max Brenner, the Mexican Spicy drink in their hug mug.
On technology, I said goodbye to my small notebook aka FM (MSIVR340) and welcomed my new huge lappy aka Ivan (HPG60).
Also, I have to say goodbye to my N70 and will welcome E71 this January (hopefully will give the unit soon).
Anyway, the items above are just my refresher. I can’t think and write on the main topic I am going to blabber here. My mind is telling me to write about Space Elevator, but actually my mind has a lot of things of the future lined up to be written. It’s not only about space elevator. It’s all about the future. Nevertheless, I’ll start with the space elevator.
Unknown to most of us, there is actually an existing consortium on this technology and because of this I realized that we are indeed serious in building this stuff. Few years ago, I read about this space elevator and I doubted that this can be built. Well, with the exponential trend of technology nowadays, I guess nothing is really impossible. Imaginations of science fiction writers and visionaries are concretely transformed to reality. In fact, right now, the International Space Elevator Consortium is already putting together the theoretical foundations for this technology. Who knows, a decade from now, we might already have the blueprint of the first space elevator. You can read more information from this website, the International Space Elevator Consortium.
You can check videos of this technology here and here.
I guess we are passed of the spermatozoan stage of our Space Age. In fact, we are actually already in the Gestation Stage of our Space Age, laying the foundations for our conquest of space. Soon we will be populating our system.
Let’s visit some of this preliminary works.
One good example above is the space elevator. In few years from now, the world will start materializing that dream.
We already have the ISS, the International Space Station, checking our survival in low gravity environment.
As well as, exploring all other technological needs we have to put in place before we embark on full space conquest.
On one hand, we are creating better and more efficient space machines such as satellites, shuttles, and droids.
Space tourism is also growing. Private companies are laying out their future plans and business expansions.

Google is also preparing for Space internet, connecting possible human space outposts in the future.
Technology is growing in exponential trend and is catching really fast with our vision to explore and conquer space. Theoretically, we are exploiting the power of spacetime already. It is just a matter of few decades that we are capable of manipulating spacetime for our advantage. We know the physics and math behind space exploration. What we are lacking right now is technology. But I have great confidence that we can achieve our dream of space soon. Nuclear reactors are shrinking in size. Research on alternative energy sources is speeding up also, giving positive results. Soon, we won’t be dependent on fossil fuels.
For me, I believe I can still reach the Infancy Stage of Human Space Age, when we are exploring planets of our system.
