SpaceTime: Command and Control of the Speed of Light and Sound
In the 1960 film, “Ocean’s Eleven,” Veterans of the 82nd Airborne Division devise an elaborate plot to simultaneously rob five casinos on New Year’s Eve. In one scene, one of the “Eleven” questioning the likelihood of pulling off the robbery, asks Danny Ocean, played by Frank Sinatra, “if it’s so easy why hasn’t anyone done it?” Sinatra responds, “for the same reason no one has gone to the moon, equipment.” Years later, man built the equipment and went to the moon.
Before traveling to the moon, roughly three decades earlier, man built an atomic weapon and “Top-Secret” U.S. Military Bases. Victim of a surprise air attack, the U.S. retaliated with its nuclear equipment on Japan. Intensity of the blasts, painfully visible, and ramifications lasted years deterring future actions culminating into a Cold War with the Soviet Union.
Pentagon’s “Propaganda Document” leading up to the 1980s and 90s, specifically “Strategic Defense and Space Operations” have its origins in past wars. Remnants of the Cold War appear to have been seeded and sown. Some remain buried and others exposed to the elements as the earth’s climate changes.
Reports of U.S. Military Bases worldwide and abandoned “nuclear weapon beneath the ice in northern Greenland following a crash in 1968” have emerged. Renewed diplomatic ties appear purposeful. U.S. Consulate was said to have reopened in Nuuk this past summer for the first time since 1953.
Soviet Union early expeditions of the 19th Century came across the polar deserts of Antarctica after commanding the Arctic Seas to be followed by its 20th Century engineering feats in space only to be topped by Russia’s understanding and command of high-hypersonic velocity from Mach 10.0 to Mach 25.0 + .
U.S. has capitalized on Ernst Mach’s name adopting it for defense and business (aircraft, motor vehicle model names, etc.). U.S. also capitalized on the work of Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer. Still, the U.S. did not name the bombs they detonated on Hiroshima and Nagasaki the Einstein bomb or the Oppenheimer bomb.
Ironically, it is said that Mach was not in favor of atomic theories. Einstein understood them well, but reportedly regretted how they were used. Oppenheimer, reportedly, took the theories and put them into practice working in The Manhattan Project, earning the name, “father of the atomic bomb.”
Mike Griffin, Defense Under Secretary for Research & Engineering, on the topic of “exploring the future of the space economy” conceded that “Our adversaries are using 3 or 4 year timelines…as we were able to do.” Sir, time for hard and calculative choices.
Elon Musk’s “hard choices” appear to have paid off royally. His strategic and business savy moves have led to “Space X.” As he observed in 2011:
“We’re entering the era of commercial space flight, which will advance dramatically faster than in the past. But I made the decision to patent almost nothing: Our competition is the Chinese and Russian governments, against whom patents are unenforceable and can simply be used as a recipe. It’s much better for our technology to be trade secrets. I’d rather keep the information to myself. There could be a Chinese spy or a cyber attack, but my CIO is from PayPal, which never got cracked.”
Elon, never say never. A decade later, NASA and Elon appear to have come full circle in reexamining their choices and competition (more players in space). Yet, unlike Musk, U.S. Defense did not foresee the implications cyberattacks would have on their next generation fighter jets. Still, his observation of the era is incorrect. As long as government funding is in the millions for your “joyriding” expeditions, the era remains private space flight.
The actual Nikola Tesla, Serbian American inventor and electrical engineer whose work spanned the 19th and 20th century, put his life on the line successfully demonstrating his proposed alternate current was safe and operative. Elon, why have you not taken a seat in Space X? Nikola Tesla has the last word,
“Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.”
҈ Retrieval of Resources and Water Reserves
SDC initial design plans focused on the Moons of Saturn, specifically Enceladus. Since its discovery in the late 18th century by William Herschel, little attention was given. Prototype and deployment of a drone with a self-propelled testing device was designed by SDC. German Aerospace Center (DLR), however, preceded my designs in 2012 with their Enceladus Explorer (EnEx). In recent years, a Russian private party reportedly allied itself with the Americans.
As a female commanding SDC, I see no advantage in return trips to a moon already explored for five decades by man. The idea of the “first woman and next man on the Moon by 2024…,” is ludicrous, costly and an unsupported mission. Apparently, no cost benefit analysis was conducted. U.S., what is the ROI for spending close to $30 Billion?
SDC has considered what a former NASA Astronaut Colonel Frank Borman sees as three ingredients when pursuing missions: “Goal, $, and support of the country.” Otherwise, you’re just there to “collect rocks.” As to “partnership with commercial entities,” SDC observes NASA’s alliance with private industry’s reported failures and successive “joyriding” attempts of the space travel industry.
Nasa announced Space X Crew Dragon’s return on 8.2.2020 after 64 days at the International Space Station (ISS). Based on observations, we see and hear that maintaining the ISS is no easy feat.
As one American astronaut describes the experience, it’s like “running a marathon and taking an exam at the same time.” Indeed, a mind-body feat best left to be executed by a few. Are the Astronauts being utilized as mechanics in space and conducting experiments or are they themselves the test subjects?
Commanding SDC, I strategically sketched and built my command station to be fully operational with little maintenance required. Troubleshooting is handled remotely. An engineering feat accomplished by experts in their field. Operational blueprints were designed to provide laser-focus spry incisive calculations accomplishing its missions.
SDCs satellites have made multiple observations of past and present:
Insipid attempts of authority to capitalize space outside of earth’s U.S. jurisdiction:
The April 6, 2020 Executive Order on Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources appears to break away with past agreements and treaties:
“By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America…it is hereby ordered as follows…Successful long-term exploration and scientific discovery of the Moon, Mars, and other celestial bodies will require partnership with commercial entities to recover and use resources, including water and certain minerals, in outer space.”
Authors of said Executive Order are mistaken on this presumption of authority and preparation. At Mach 20 a high-hypersonic weapon travels 20x the speed of sound and can easily warp through even the vaporous of words. Velocity rips through this fabricated self-serving “Executive Order.”
Readily, the aforementioned partakers confuse the infinite and timeless galaxies in the universe with earthy invasions and occupations of past centuries and their ideas of “heavenly bodies.” Contain your raids, exploitations, and raptures to earth. Factions with notions of spiritual claims of the Heavens and the “meek inheriting the earth” need to be reminded of the progenies and legends commanding and controlling the universe with elegance and power.
The added notice of “No later than 180 days after the date of this order, the Secretary of State shall report to the President,…[October 3, 2020]” is an indication of the author(s) confounding U.S. federal laws of eminent domain on Earth with that of the galaxies in the universe. President’s many October deadlines appear in anticipation of upcoming election count.
Galileo Galilei’s surveillance of space and all whom have followed in their study and quest of space precede the likes of this president and his kind. Astronomers, physicists, and mathematicians, “Rock Stars,” will supersede them long after he and his kind have exited the stage.

Physicists point out that, “we mostly understand linear phenomena…” I find the experiment of tossing a paper airplane is a good example of the unpredictability of a non-linear pathway.
We perceive our world in three dimensions of space, the fourth, time. Viewing time from a non-linear perspective, I discover in dark space the incomprehensible effects become luminous.
Commanding SDC, I continue to play, design, build, and navigate. “Rock Stars” have inspired me! Yes, Elon, “People forget the power of inspiration.” Still, even fewer are empowered with calculation, imagination, and resources to best explore SpaceTime.
