Chinese Cosmonauts!

China: Lunar Space Programme Targets Resources! (12.3.2024)

Yang is widely known for leading the design work on the Chang’e 5 robotic spacecraft that fulfilled China’s first lunar sample retrieval mission.

He was speaking on the side-lines of the second session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, which concluded in Beijing on Sunday. He is a member of the CPPCC National Committee, the top political advisory body in China.

China began its lunar programme in 2004 and has launched six robotic probes since 2007. The most recent mission, Chang’e 5, landed on the moon in December 2020 and soon brought 1,731 grams of lunar rocks and soil back to Earth, achieving a historic accomplishment about 44 years after the last lunar substances were brought back from our nearest celestial neighbour.

Pen is Mightier Than the Sword!

My Shakespeare “Complete Works” Editions! (10.3.2024)

The first was in 1992 – purchased from a local WH Smiths in a place called ‘Tiverton’ in East Devon (I believe during the time that my Irish grandmother – Gladys Kilmurray – was very ill and when her British daughter and American grandchildren were visiting the UK from Seattle, US) – whilst the second was acquired from The Works in Torquay High Street in 2007 (five-years after my family had uprooted and migrated to the South Coast). Both are superb editions with the first being easy to carry around whilst the latter is a very large, impressive and “Grand” Limited Library Edition – designed as a “Reference” copy only NOT to be borrowed or moved about (it is far too heavy for that)! The first is compact – whilst the second is lavishly illustrated and easy to read.

No So Much Spiders From Mars - But Bullshit from Prague!

Czech Republic in Space: How Jaroslav Kalfař Falsified History! (8.3.2024)

This book mimics the ’Socialist’ science fiction works of the Polish (genius) Stanislav Lem – whilst rejecting the ‘Socialist’ progression his work represents. Both the book and the film lull the audience into a false ‘Socialist’ accepting paradigm – space is conquered through Socialist Science – but then bursts this bubble by having the Czech Cosmonaut ‘advertise’ a cleaning agent “live” from his Space Capsule! Capitalist and exploitative through and through – but it gets far worse. The father of the Cosmonaut is described as an ‘Informant’ of the Communist Party (rather than a ‘defender of the people’ – what he really was)! The father is punished, his son (the Cosmonaut) is punished – as are various other members of his family – but by whom? Supposedly by the masses of the Czech Republic – masses who were members of the Communist Party and benefitted directly from its egalitarian policies!

Computer Interface with Brain!

China: Brain-Computer Interface Assists Paralyzed Patients Regain Mobility! (8.3.2024)

Another 35-year-old paralyzed patient underwent surgery in December 2023 and can control cursor movements with his mind after two months rehabilitation.

The implantable device, called Neural Electronic Opportunity (NEO) is about the size of a coin and employs near-field wireless power supply and signal transmission, thus making the internal machine implanted in the skull battery-free, expert introduced.

Experts explained that brain-computer interfaces are divided into three categories: non-invasive, invasive and semi-invasive. The minimally invasive, wireless brain-machine interface project initiated by Tsinghua University will not damage brain tissue, averting inflammation, scarring and other adverse conditions.

Small Buddha!

Richard Hunn’s Portable Buddha-Statue! (2.3.2024)

As it stands, Oxford University is the pinnacle of Bourgeois opulence, class distinction, grace and favour! Indeed, my mother’s family used to live in Lewisham (the East End of London) – before Hitler’s Luftwaffe bombed the area during September, 1941! Thousands of our bombed-out neighbours were moved into the Chislehurst Caves – where they created an underground City for the duration of War (in fact, until the incumbent Labour Party had finished building thousands of decent Council Houses in 1947) – whilst my family (the ‘Gibson’ Clan) were given a Train Pass and relocated to Oxford – where some of our relatives had been sent for work during an earlier bombing.

Darwin Had Read Das Kapital!

Buddhist-Marxism Alliance (UK) – When Darwin Read Marx! (24.2.2024)

A large sign said ‘NO Photography’ – but I politely enquired as to whether I could snap a ‘small’ picture – and was given a cryptic permission. Many (deceptive) Trotskyites state that Darwin never opened the book – but I saw with my own eyes that the pages had been both ‘cut’ and ‘opened’. Interestingly, the correspondence between Darwin and Marx (discussing their respective theories) are not yet publicly available. I am told this might be because of the positive attitude Darwin expressed about what Marx had to say.
