Parsek 2014: We continue to talk about space

I believe that there is an inextricable link between the dreams of a particular person and the benefits that he brings to society. And as a result, those who are obsessed with science fiction have every chance to bring the future closer. For example, those who watched Star Trek in the 60s - later worked at NASA, and those who are involved in robotics in no small part came to it thanks to Azimov.



My fellow members and I wanted to contribute to this process. And therefore, at the weekend, in the framework of the international convention of fans of fiction Starcon, for the second time, the small but very intensive conference Parsec 2014 will be held.
')
I invited excellent speakers there (some of them from Habra) and I was surprised how willingly they responded. Special thanks to the Federation of Astronautics.

Below is a short list of profile reports:


The beauty of space and astronautics. Alexander Shaenko


“Can you imagine the rising of the Earth? Immersion of the Sun in Jupiter? Radiating space between planets? Tamed the power of fire, bringing into the sky a spark with people? Stars made by human hands? The robot, in a ten-year dream, traveling over billions of kilometers, in order to wake up for a few hours from the goal and then fall asleep forever? You can imagine all this and more! Carefully, the lecture causes a craving for space exploration: _) "

From myself I will add that Alexander is one of those who created the first Russian private space satellite DX1, the launch of which occurred the day before yesterday.

Mars One or Luna Seven? What makes sense in the next decade, fly to Mars or the Moon? Alexander Khokhlov

December 14, 1972 members of the Apollo 17 expedition Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan left the surface of the Moon, the only natural satellite of our planet. It was the sixth and last landing of people on another heavenly body. For many years, mankind has lost interest in such flights. And after 42 years there are no approved programs for the study and exploration of the moon by man. NASA is preparing to fly to Mars for the 2030th year, Roskosmos is planning automatic missions to the Moon, which are not the first time moving to the right. China, although it claims of a future colony on the moon, has not yet presented its plan for landing a man on our satellite. But at this time groups of enthusiasts, both in the USA and in Russia, became more active. One of the participants of the Russian team "Luna seven", Alexander Khokhlov, will tell about the perspective plan for creating the first inhabited lunar base by the mid-20s of our century.

Alexander already has three reports. He also tells about errors in the film Gravity and how to become an astronaut

The state of rocket modeling in our galaxy. Alexander Shlyadinsky

The task for the near future: on Orion or in another place of the Universe to start production of rocket engines. The organization of the rocket fests, the demonstration starts in the Peter and Paul Fortress - how with the help of the model of the rocket you can cross the model of the Galaxy. What should be done so that cosmonautics does not become only science fiction, will tell the head of the club on rocket-modeling Alexander Shlyadinsky.

And still


Survival in extreme conditions. Svyatoslav Morozov

Starships - a new space strategy. Anton Pervushin
The world piloted astronautics is in crisis. The shutdown of the space shuttle space shuttle flight program hit the plans for expanding the human presence in the solar system. The International Space Station is supported by the obsolete Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. The Chinese rocket and space industry has not yet been able to prove its effectiveness. But perhaps the main problem is the lack of a magnificent goal. The voices of those who believe that mankind in space has nothing to do, sound louder and more convincingly, and it is better to spend resources on solving more mundane tasks. What can the supporters of space expansion say to this harmonious chorus?
