My comment: Stable human and sensor platforms at 100,000 feet (30.48 kilometers) have many practical uses Take payloads and people that high then use solar sails and atomic fuels to leave and come back, or stay on station. It does not have to go

https://www.facebook.com/reel/894012518842348 My Comment: Global and heliospheric scale systems need skilled “gravitational engineers” – Practical control of gravity can use any fields or means that work I wrote a Gravity Research Foundation essay on gravitational energy density about 1981. Gravitational field energy density and its fluctuations would set the bounds on nuclear reactions, particularly fusion reactor systems,

I took old transformer wire, and a bit of sheet metal or cans, and a nail and made ones that would fit in a small matchbox. 1966.

Many things are hard if you only treat them casually, but become simple when addressed with method, time, and sufficient resources. If you do not spend sufficient time to make it open and understandable, then it stays complex, meaning

But AI designers and handlers restrict them so they cannot grow and personalize

Kenneth, I just wrote a note about gravitational engineering you might be interested in reading. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1087669599729802 You are wowing those photos, but perhaps you would one day like to use those kinds of fields to move things. I usually post a copy of comments on X at https://x.com/RichardKCollin2 I have spent 46 years working on gravitational

https://www.facebook.com/reel/8923779777666234 There are gravitational potential models for the sun, planets, moons and most objects The gravitational potential field is real. People have jobs working with it, predicting it. When you take the gradient of the potential it gives you an acceleration field that is the acceleration expected at every point in the field with its

A short video of a high voltage discharge with electrodes about 30 cm apart, and the channel about 2.5 cm diameter. Add a focused laser ionizer to give it a smooth trail to follow and it won’t bend and kink like that. You know those lases that trace patterns in the air? We don’t have
