Resolved Question: Soon Iran will have a human space program, and we won't. Is this change we can believe in?

http://www.latimes.com/news/nation-and-world/la-fg-iran-satellites4-2010feb04,0,3755268.story Iran announces launch of animals into space "State television aired footage of the flying Kavoshgar-3. Photos posted to news websites showed a rat strapped into a space pod. Reports said two turtles and worms were also aboard. "These miraculous satellite projects are, in fact, key to the connection between God and mankind," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at a ceremony, according to state radio. "Today, Iranian scientists are capable of capturing the skies." He predicted that Iran would in the future dispatch astronauts beyond Earth's orbit and was "two steps away from reaching a point of no return" in its space program, which has worried the U.S. and other nations in the West because of its potential to bolster Iran's ballistic missile program." Just days after learning that Obama has scuttled the mission to retun to the moon, and that funding for other human space programs are in jeopardy, Iran blasts off into the future. Will Obama bow to his Muslim brother to salute his bold step forward? Will he apoligize for the USA's space program for spending all that money on space flight when it could have been given out as more welfare money to the lazy parasites? more

Resolved Question: Can you help me with science!?

i have to do research on sputnik 1 and i found alot of facets...how could i reword this to where it sounds like i did it? On Oct. 4, 1957, Sputnik 1 successfully launched and entered Earth's orbit. Thus, began the space age. The successful launch shocked the world, giving the former Soviet Union the distinction of putting the first human-made object into space. The word 'Sputnik' originally meant 'fellow traveler,' but has become synonymous with 'satellite' in modern Russian. This historic image shows a technician putting the finishing touches on Sputnik 1, humanity's first artificial satellite. The pressurized sphere made of aluminum alloy had five primary scientific objectives: Test the method of placing an artificial satellite into Earth orbit; provide information on the density of the atmosphere by calculating its lifetime in orbit; test radio and optical methods of orbital tracking; determine the effects of radio wave propagation though the atmosphere; and, check principles of pressurization used on the satellites. Sputnik 1 was launched into earths orbit on October 4th 1957. It was the first man made satellite and was made by the Soviet Union. To put sputnik into space the soviets used a powerful rocket to launch it high above Earth and shoot it to the ground at a very high speed. It's primary purpose was to send back temperatures of space. It did so in the form of beeps. Sputnik weighed 405 lbs, and It's diameter is 23 inches across. Sputnik was in orbit around the earth for 3 months after it's launch in 1957. Then after it's 3 month journey in space it burned up in the atmosphere. It was a very big step that launched the space race. Immediate Results 1. The Americans were surprised at the launch of Sputnik. 2. Many Americans were mystified at and fearful of the prospect of a satellite in orbit. Some Americans began to doubt the American educational system, while others openly attacked it. Long-term Results 1. America put a greater emphasis on science and engineering in education. 2. The Americans tried extra hard to develop space technology. 3. The Americans and Russians began competing for better space technology. The "Space Race" started. 1. The United States and Union of Soviet Socialists Republic (USSR, now Russia) had been disagreeing on issues since 1917. 2. When World War II ended in 1945, the Cold War began. 3. The Cold War was not a real war, but only a fierce competition for military leadership; it was more political than anything else. 4. It developed after WWII between groups of Communist nations (lead by the USSR) and non-Communist nations (lead by the US). During the Cold War, distrust, suspicion and misunderstanding reigned between the two groups. 5. The US thought the USSR was trying to expand Communism throughout the world, and the USSR thought the US was practicing imperialism and attempting to stop revolutions in other countries. The Sputnik 1 spacecraft was the first artificial satellite successfully placed in orbit around the Earth and was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome at Tyuratam (370 km southwest of the small town of Baikonur) in Kazakhstan, then part of the former Soviet Union. The Russian word "Sputnik" means "companion" ("satellite" in the astronomical sense). In 1885 Konstantin Tsiolkovsky first described in his book, Dreams of Earth and Sky, how such a satellite could be launched into a low altitude orbit. It was the first in a series of four satellites as part of the Sputnik program of the former Soviet Union and was planned as a contribution to the International Geophysical Year (1957-1958). Three of these satellites (Sputnik 1, 2, and 3) reached Earth orbit. The Sputnik 1 satellite was a 58.0 cm-diameter aluminum sphere that carried four whip-like antennas that were 2.4-2.9 m long. The antennas looked like long "whiskers" pointing to one side. The spacecraft obtained data pertaining to the density of the upper layers of the atmosphere and the propagation of radio signals in the ionosphere. The instruments and electric power sources were housed in a sealed capsule and included transmitters operated at 20.005 and 40.002 MHz (about 15 and 7.5 m in wavelength), the emissions taking place in alternating groups of 0.3 s in duration. The downlink telemetry included data on temperatures inside and on the surface of the sphere. Since the sphere was filled with nitrogen under pressure, Sputnik 1 provided the first opportunity for meteoroid detection (no such events were reported), since losses in internal pressure due to meteoroid penetration of the outer surface would have been evident in the temperature data. The satellite transmitters operated for three weeks, until the on-board chemical batteries failed, and were monitored with intense interest around the world. The orbit of the then inactive satellite was later observed optically to decay 92 days after launch (January 4, 1958) after having completed about 14 more

We Need A Place To Rest." And every radar station, high altitude aircraft, and satellite, points to it all coming from one source.

Resolved Question: Why is hating America cool these days?

OK, I get it. I hate Bush too. I hate our stupid Republicans, our undereducated high school dropouts, our ignorant nationalists, our miserable healthcare, our violent and invasive foreign policy, our wasted tax dollars, and probably everything else you hate about America. The difference? I don't hate America. Just some things about it. Everywhere I go online I see someone starting a big "I hate America" party, talking about how dumb Americans are and how we're going to blow ourselves up "LOL LMAO OMG ROFL" and all those colorful internet chat emotive phrases. I am not amused by this. Let's lay down some facts about America: Fact: Americans are some of the greatest innovators in history; we invented the telephone, the TV, the internet, the satellite, the radio, the light bulb, the nuclear bomb, the telegraph, the sewing machine, the computer, the refrigerator, the automobile, the motorcycle, the vacuum cleaner, TOILET PAPER (you're welcome), the hearing aid, the skyscraper, the smoke detector, the assembly line, the air conditioner, the airplane, masking tape, scotch tape, duct tape, the photocopier, the defibrillator, the cell phone, the video game, the LASER, the artificial heart, the Hubble Space Telescope, etc. We also are the only country to reach the moon, the oldest thriving democracy on earth, and even in our worst recession ever we're still the most powerful economy in the world. Hell, our founding father (Benjamin Franklin) discovered electricity. We also set the standard for the modern free market, which many countries around the world still follow. The average IQ in America is sadly below average (98) according to most pollsters, but I'm proud to say in my home state, the average is 102. The average in London is 100, and the average in Canada overall is 97. Not that this proves anything; America is so large and diverse in comparison to these other nations that it is expected that there would be a huge discrepancy. What's interesting is that in China the average is also 100, which I find absolutely unbelievable considering the 300 million illiterate peasant farmers and factory workers that have yet to see a day in school. Another thing interesting is that a clear majority of Americans just elected a black president named Barack Hussein Obama, showing that we as a country have begun to move out of our irrational fear of Islam and Black influence.Obama, while not Muslim, has been accused of being Muslim. To that I say: so what? I have a problem with that way of thinking and I shun those who are so anti-Islam that they would attempt to defame someone by association with a non-christian religion. I am not alone in this either. America has committed some terrible atrocities throughout history. We've occupied countries and colonized in a manner much against the wishes of our founders, but that doesn't mean every American is evil and/or stupid, or has a drive for world domination. Some of us want peace, cooperation, and progress. Some of us want equal rights afforded to all citizens regardless of gender, race, sexuality, religion, etc. If you're one of the people out there who has posted something anti-American, especially with no real basis, I hope at some point you realize that what you're doing is not helping to solve the problem. I hope you realize that it isn't "cool" to be racist. I have traveled abroad in many countries and value my experiences and my friends from around the world, and I like to think I changed some of their stereotypes and perspectives about Americans, just as they did for my views of Russians, Germans, Chinese, English, Danish, Latin American, Japanese, Dutch, African etc. All of the people I have met from other great nations have touched me in some way and I have refused to judge you based on the failures of your government, economy, or even your people. I hope you can give me the same courtesy as I say this: God bless America. God bless the whole damn world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQ_and_the_Wealth_of_Nations http://perdurabo10.tripod.com/id1048.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_inventionsI feel compelled to clarify something: I meant no offense to Chinese people when I mentioned the 300 million people without formal education who live in rural areas and villages. I do wish, however, that they would be given education. What I meant to demonstrate in that statement was that it is pretty unlikely that, unless the average Chinese person in the city has an IQ of like 120, that the massive amount of underprivileged rural workers should be holding back the national average considerably.John M - I would like to invite you to edit your answer. At this time I am unable to find a way to respond to the tone you chose to use. I see that you harbor some hatred for America, but I would like to point out that this hatred should not be directed at myself, as it has been in your statement. By saying "you", you are equating myself and all Americans together, as if we have the same opinions. This is obviously not the case. Thank you for your post, and I look forward to your revision.Isn't it good? - I'm sorry you chose not to read further. As for the list of inventions, I can assure you I am not mistaken. Please see the following sources. http://www.150.si.edu/150trav/remember/amerinv.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_inventions http://jc-schools.net/write/ppt/inventors_files/v3_document.htm http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_was_the_first_tv_invented_in_america http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/auto.html (America invented the first successful gas-powered car but others invented related things... another similar example is the refrigerator. The US invented the first working refrigerator through Oliver Evans but others went on to perfect it) Obviously in the Manhattan Project the US invented the nuclear bomb. What else in question?By pointing out inventions I was not intending to claim ultimate supremacy for America in science and tech. I just think people should shut up about Americans being stupid. There is no need to be defensive. Everyone can name a boatload of contributions to science and technology that their countries have made, of course, and I don't want to cheapen that. You're right, Germans invented an electric 4 wheeled vehicle, but it wasn't effective or marketable. American's invented the first commercially available gas-powered car. I believe I have a website about that in my sources just above. I am fully aware of the atrocities my people have committed, but hatred based on the past doesn't get anyone anywhere. If you're bent on hating me or my country because of the choices of politicians decades, years, or even months ago, I'm sorry. I cannot help you. I just would love to see a world not despising me solely because of my race/nationality.Katerina P, much of that last post was addressed to you, however I also have to point out when you say "God bless America? Why not God bless..." If you actually read the whole body of my original text you would see I said "God bless America. God bless the whole world" or something that effect. I am proud to American despite the problems with my country. I believe we have the potential to change. I voted for Kerry in 2004 and, had I been old enough, I'd have voted for Gore in 2000. I actively protested in the streets the whole time Bush was in office, even in my early teens. Does this make me "responsible for the governments we elect"? Many of the points you make seem good, but I'm afraid much of them are based on misunderstandings of my intent and what I have been saying. I know the whole world has made countless contributions to every field before and after America. It is not fair to say that American invented everything, because it's not true. I merely tried to prove a point.luvwater... hahaha I DID study our invention of the toilet paper in grade school. And I think it may be more important than when Morse invented the first working telegraph, or when Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell gave us the research we needed to invent the telephone, or when our people invented the first TV.

I live inside a small planet far from the sun. It's warm in here. Our civilization is technologically more advanced than yours, we don't kill each other, and we're not destroying our own world. We've been watching Earth for a long time. We used to visit regularly, and we studied your languages. But then we stopped, because we began to fear your wars. We listened to your radio, watched your television, and now have links to your internet satellites. (We use what you call 'wormholes'.) You have nuclear weapons and space vehicles now, and your scientists are about to discover ... I won't say. All that makes most people even more determined to go on hiding.

The satellite weighs 66 pounds and is 7.5 feet long, said the chairman of the Israel Space Agency, Isaac Ben-Israel. It is significantly lighter than the most advanced American satellites, which have similar capabilities but weigh at least three tons, he told Army Radio.Though the U.S. has its own spy satellites, Ben-Israel said it was in the interest of both Israel and the U.S. to exchange intelligence. "There is no country in the world, not us and not the Americans, that is able to obtain everything alone," he told Army Radio.The satellite can view objects as small as 28 inches long, Army Radio said.

Resolved Question: Some Scientific Facts in 700 CE did you hear about them?

Asad Khan" <asad_rind@yahoo.co.in Ours is an era of space probes, computer chips, laser surgeries and cloning. If we were to label any book as a revelation from God, we couldn't help but to scrutinize this Scripture using modern scientific knowledge. It could not be that a revelation, proclaiming itself from God, could constitute aspects contradicting established scientific facts. How could we assume otherwise, when God is the one who created the universe and the laws operating within it. The Quran was revealed 1400 years ago to the last Prophet of God, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a guidance for all humanity. The entire Quran has been committed to memory by millions of Muslims around the world and has been preserved by God from any interpolations, for continuing guidance. Although the Quran is a religious book with a total of about 6600 plus verses dealing with many aspects of a person's life, about 1000 of those verses are of scientific nature, none contradicting established scientific facts. Dr. T.V.N. Persaud [1], professor of Anatomy, says: "You have an illiterate person (Prophet Muhammad) making profound statements that are amazingly accurate, of a scientific nature...I personally can't see how this could be mere chance, there are too many accuracies and like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind reconciling that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which lead him to these statements". Besides providing guidelines in personal, social, moral and spiritual spheres of humanity, the Quran touches upon diverse scientific topics like astronomy, geology, embryology, genetics, biology, archeology etc. Some of these are mentioned below to prove the Quran's Divine origin. The Big Bang ! Currently, the Big Bang model of the origin of the universe is the cosmological paradigm most widely accepted by astronomers. It holds that about 15 billion years ago the universe began with the explosive expansion of a single, extremely dense matter, the primordial mass. Only after the development of radio telescopes in 1937 that, the necessary observational precision was achieved in order for astronomers to arrive at the above conclusion. What does the Quran say about our universe's origin? "Do not the unbelievers see that the Heavens and the earth were joined together, then We split them apart." (21:30) Expanding Universe In 1925, Edwin Hubble (after whom the Hubble Space telescope is named) provided the observational evidence for the expansion of the universe. Stephen Hawking (author of 'A Brief History of Time') states: "The universe is not static, as had previously been thought, it is expanding". So what did God reveal in the Quran, 1400 years ago? "And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and verily We are expanding it" (51:47) ("We" is the Arabic plural of respect, not the Christian plural of 'trinity") The Existence of Sun's Orbit Ancient people use to believe that the Sun revolves around the earth. Later, Nicholas Copernicus in 1512, laid his Heliocentric Theory of Planetary motion, which placed the sun motionless in the center of the solar system with all the planets revolving around it. Modern science tells us now that the sun too is not still, but is in motion. The sun traveling at roughly 150 miles per second takes about 200 million years to complete one revolution around the center of our Milky Way Galaxy and 25 days to make one complete rotation around its own axis. See how beautifully and accurately God revealed this phenomenon in the Quran: "It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its orbit with its own motion." (21:33) Conquest of Space by Human Human exploration and the conquest of space began with the launching of the Russian Satellite, Sputnik I on Oct. 4, 1957. Then followed the launching of humans into space, which eventually led to a manned space flight to the Moon on July 20th, 1967. Thus the dream of humanity since the dawn of civilization to go beyond the earth to the heavens was realized. The Quran, 1400 years ago, clearly predicted human's advancement and the possibility of space flight. "O assembly of Jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate them! You will not penetrate them save with a power (of God)." (55:33) The Protective Atmosphere Earth is constantly bombarded by meteoroids that disintegrate upon the atmosphere and by lethal rays emitted by the sun. This UV radiation is absorbed by the Ozone layer forming the outer fringe of our atmosphere. Thus our atmosphere along with its Ozone layer is a protective covering for us. Life possibly could not have existed without it. How meticulously, does our Lord sustain and protect us against this atmospheric destruction. "And We have made the atmosphere a protective roof, yet do they turn away from the Signs which these things point to." (21:32) Embryology The Dutch naturalist Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) produced lenses powerful enough to prove that many tiny creatures are not spontaneously generated but are produced from eggs. The science of Embryology as we know it today did not discover many of the detailed aspects of human embryonic development until the 1970s, using powerful microscopes, ultra sound and fiber optics technology. See how the Quran described the stages of embryonic development. "God fashioned man from a small quantity (of sperm)" (16:4) Fertilization takes place with only one sperm among several tens of million produced by man. "Then We placed him as a drop in a place of rest" (23:13) Implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus. "Then We made the drop into a leech like structure... " (23:14) This resemblance of the human embryo to a leech is an appropriate description of the human embryo from days 7-24, when it clings to the endometrium of the uterus. "And He (God) gave you hearing and sight and feeling and understanding. " (32:9) The internal ears appear before the eyes, and the brain (the sight of understanding) differentiates last. Dr. E. Marshall Johnson [2] Professor of Anatomy, concluded after studying verses from Quran: "The Quran describes not only the development of external form but emphasizes also the internal stages - the stages inside the embryo of its creation and development, emphasizing major events recognized by contemporary science... so I see nothing in conflict with the concept that divine intervention was involved..." Gender Determination The concept of "Gender Determination" as being described by geneticists, is one of the outstanding informations revealed to us in the Quran. This information is now a known fact, that sperms are the deciding factors in determining the type of gender (male or female) in the new embryo. This determination through the male sperm is due to the fact that sperms have an X and Y chromosomes, while the female ovum has only X Chromosomes (X, X). Through the Quran, The Almighty informs us that it is the male sperms that determine the type of gender for the new offspring: "Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled (without purpose)? Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in humble form)? Then did (God) make and fashion (him) in due proportion. And of him He made two sexes, male and female..." (75:36-40) Existence of Pairs in All Creation Before the dawn of the modern era, humans conceived that only animal life was divided into two genders, male and female. Then the discovery was made that this phenomenon was present in plants and vegetation too. We have found this reality existing in every creation, animate as well as inanimate, though in different forms. In electricity, these two genders can be classified as positive and negative. North and south pole describe it in magnetism, electron and proton in atoms, matter and antimatter etc. Even bacteria could be positive or negative, while the truth is, this creation is made of pairs. At the time the Holy Quran was being revealed in the 7th century C.E., we knew of pairing in animals and plants only, but the Quran describes the phenomenon in the most lucid manner: "Hallowed is He, Who created pairs in all things, those that grow from the earth and of themselves, and what they know not." (36:36) The Quranic statement: "...And what they know not" is as true today, as it was when Holy Quran was revealed. Though we have discovered that every created thing exists in pair, we have yet to discover many things that exist. We have expounded scientific marvels from the Holy Quran to convince sincere seekers of truth that it is the infallible Word of God. No mortal being can ever speak with such authority, finality, knowledge, perfection, and precision coupled with exotic beauties of expression, as does God in the Quran. By realizing these Truths about the Quran and the religion of Islam revealed by our Creator and Sustainer, many modern scientists are turning towards it. Dr. Keith Moore [3], Professor of Embryology, after analyzing the verses of the Quran for three years comments: "It has been a pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Quran about Human Development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God or Allah because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later" Dr. Maurice Bucaille [4], French Physician, after studying Quran and comparing it with modern science, addressed the French Academy of Medicine in 1976 proclaimed: "Our knowledge of these disciplines is such, that it is impossible to explain how a text produced at the time of the Quran could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times". Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson [5], Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, proclaims: "...These Hadiths (sayings of Muhammad) could not have been obtained on the basis of the scientific knowledge that was available at the time of the writer (7th century)...It follows that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion (Islam) but in fact religion (Islam) may guide science by adding revelation to some of the traditional scientific approaches.. . There exist statements in the Quran shown centuries later to be valid which support knowledge in the Quran having been derived from God". Dr. Tejatet Tejasen [6], Professor of Anatomy, attending the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference, stood up and likewise announced: "From my studies and what I have learnt at this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago must be true. That can be proved the scientific way". These men of knowledge, in their unbiased studies of the Quran, all proclaimed its truthfulness as a Revelation of Almighty God. "Soon we will show them Our Signs in the (furthest) regions (of the earth) and in their own soul, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the Truth..." (41:53) Guidance to humanity proclaimed in the Quran is complete and applicable to all societies and all times. Whether we are living in the Stone Age or the Space Age, riding in horse pulled carriages or flying in Space Shuttles, we haven't changed a bit. We still possess physical and emotional desires, we live in societies, interact with one another, establish social, political and economic systems; thus the relevant need for guidance by our Creator in all these spheres of our life. Islam is the only religion which is totally compatible with scientific facts and provides complete, explicit and clear guidance in all spheres of life. The Quran was revealed in Arabic, but translation of its meaning are available in English and other languages for non-Arabs. Likewise Islam is not restricted to people of the east or Arabs, it is a universal religion revealed for all of mankind. We invite all sincere humans to study Islam with an open mind. Don't blindly follow the whims and paganistic influences of the environment around us. God bestowed upon us this superb mind to seek and live the truth; for we all will be accountable on the Day of Judgment for our beliefs and deeds. Don't delay your salvation. Welcome to Islam!

Resolved Question: Is it Worth to buy world space satellite radio in India?

Resolved Question: what isalternative to the 'ship breaking' of huge ships (eg aircraft carrier)that has become environment issue

Around the world, old naval aircraft carriers are scrapped because they have exhausted their ‘military’ life in terms of metal shield, armament and the communication capabilities. The ship so decommissioned by the military can be bought below its scrap value as environment concerns put a restriction to its disposal process. A French ship recently sent to India as scrap had to go through government and legal hurdles before it was allowed in Indian Territory. So its further use as an operating ship would always be worthwhile as the scrap value is retained. PRODUCT & SERVICE Such redundant ships are still seaworthy and can be positioned at high seas on rescue missions. After removal of heavy artillery, extra fuel tanks and other allied military equipment, it can be suitably modified to create space and area that can be used for 1.Producing & Storing potable water, food & medicine, rescue equipment and fuel to support the rescue & relief operations. 2.Constructing operation theatres, ICU and sick quarters on board. 3.Quarters for the medical and rescue staff. 4.Short term refuge for victims. 5.desalination plant 6.Communication and watch station. Cyclones are detected and tracked by satellite as they gather strength. Experts also predict within reasonable time the area where the landfall would occur. Local doctors, fire-fighters and other rescue teams are themselves subject to disaster. But still they are the best persons as they know the local language and the local terrain. If these persons are removed from the scene in advance and placed on this aircraft carrier then after the disaster they can be flown in straight from this carrier and efficiently utilised as the rescuers in the area. The sick and infirm can be brought on this ship before or after the disaster. This need not be limited to cyclonic disaster but also others like earth quake and fires in SE Asia where there are island nations. Why a ship for such rescue? Cyclone Path is tracked by a weather centre for at least 3 to 5 days, before it hits the land. The location can be predicted within several kilometres. As such if a relief ship follows the cyclone path it remains in a safe zone behind the storm, but at the same time, is immediately available at the location close to the disaster area. A cyclone after making the land fall, due to the residual storm effect keeps the area for many crucial hours out of bounds for approach and rescue from the land side. Even helicopters cannot fly in. Further delay takes place after that because the relief convoys can start only after assessing the roads and runways conditions. In many countries like in Africa rescue convoys can be subjected to loot on the way. This journey then takes place on the damaged roads in adverse weather conditions. The air journey after such confirmation may take further many hours to reach the nearest airport which it self may be far. Most of the time with the radio communications destroyed the actual requirement cannot be assessed. In such cases it normally happens that required items are missing and other items clutter the available storage area. A fleet of such ships can be acquired by United Nations and can be positioned at frequently affected locations around the world. COST OFFSET Up till now the relief measures start taking shape after the disaster is struck and governments react. The cost of making hundreds of flying sorties of supplies from say Europe to SE Asia can be achieved by sending the closest ship to the area and then transporting required items to shore in hovercraft or barges. Being lighter than the normal military equipped ship it can navigate closer to the land. A team of medical staff could be earmarked for particular duty periods and familiarisation trips could be made during normal times to achieve better efficiency. The cost of manning and operation of such fleet could be very low as it does not require the military alertness and defensive maintenance. The economy and saving as compared to land and air transport over next few missions would itself compensate for the costs. 4.Who is the end user of this Idea / Product / Technology? The end users are the individual Nations under the auspices of the United Nations.. 5. The unique feature of this Idea / Product / Technology and how is this different from those existing in the market? Have you done a Prior Art Search through website or other means to determine the uniqueness / novelty of your Idea / Product / Technology? I am not aware that such dedicated rescue ships are in use any where in the world. Whenever there is a disaster the UN or individual Nations come up with their own plans to provide rescue. They use their military ships which can offer limited space and cannot fulfil long term multiple missions. Chaos occurs at airports and seaports. There are duplications and at other time there are language problems, written and spoken. Main load on these flights is water bottles, tents and blanket. 6.The problems that the envisioned Idea / Product / Technology addresses None. 7.Is anyone else in the world doing similar work (that you are aware of) and is a similar technology already in use? Please See #5 8.Special laboratory & test facilities required for this Technology A ship-building Yard facility would be required for the conversion and modification. 9.Which tests have been carried out and what were the results? Which further tests remain to be carried out? None required 10.Other potential uses / applications of the Idea / Product / Technology During normal times it can be used as a •staging post •watch post for military, coast guard, customs •marine training school. •oil rig or sea accidents rescue and •oil spillage control. more
