Space the next industry

This post maybe could have gone to www.concepte-3.blogspot.com,.

The space program is becoming a corporate run business.  Instead of putting man on Mars maybe we should start with a lunar outpost.  An industrial out post used to produce things like super conductive materials that may be grown as opposed to built.  It is a thought.  What about extraction of ores?  This could be done but today I am not open to celestial models of planetary spin and gravitational interactions.  Fortunately other people are.  The question then becomes how much can we take before causing problems.  I like the idea of

capturing asteroids.  If we can pull this off then building a transcontinental Mag-Lev train here in the US would be easy and cost effective.  The cool thing is that newer materials have been found that go into a super conductive state at higher temperatures than ever before.  Here is the next view. If humanity were to expand to the stars then we would need to start with an industrial base on the moon.  Here we can train people heading out to space.  At this time though I am inclined to believe that ET will make themselves known to us.  Probably part of some federation of inhabited planets.  Now if their is no other life but humanity that can make it to the stars.  Then I would see it as our duty to colonize other planets.  

When I think of manufacturing on the moon, I think of metamaterials being developed that can absorb a great amount radioactive spectrum and use these energies to power our space going craft.  I can see it happening with Virgin space and other companies ferrying humans from Earth to the Moon to work and live on lunar outpost. The thing what I am talking about is being pursued now today here on Planet Earth.  Later I'll have a new post for concepte-3's blogspot.  I think it time to engineer a planetary drive system that works. Basically an interstellar spacecraft that works for the long term.

Look Good Naked 'December'

Hey, Hey, Hey For those that have been following the 3 month total body transformation, congratulations if you have been putting in the gym time and the writing time now you are seeing improvements.

Awhile back I said throw away the scale and let the mirror be your new friend.
How many of you did this?

Now it is time to bring out the scale as well as your food journal and training journal.  Initially I said hey you want to find your calorie set point.  Weigh yourself today.  For 2 weeks record all of the food and beverages you consumed and record approximate calories consumed.  2 weeks later weigh yourself again.  If you lost weight then every pound lost is 3500 calories burned.  If you gained weight there are two considerations.  It take 3500 calories to gain a pound of fat.  Closer to 5800 calories to gain a pound of muscle.  Muscle being the more metabolically active tissue, and the one you want more of.

Doing this you learned some good stuff.  December is the last month of this initial transformation cycle.  December gives us a bonus week too!

As far as Thanksgiving and Christmas go, eat that food and have fun.

Here are some of my pictures.  I started at about 278# pounds.

Now I am pushing toward 294#.  My muscles have gotten a lot harder too.

This is evidenced by the denser look.  Now lets talk about your next 

tool, "The Tape Measure".

Me ai use this tool but have learned that muscle size increase is a lot slower than strength and density increases.  So I say if your really new like less than 3 months training with weights or whatever take measurements every month.

After a year or more take measurements only once every 2 months or so.

Women have a couple of additional measurements to take.  Ladies with that bra on take two measurement's.  One Use your tape measure (sewing tape)

and measure the circumference of your back with the tape across your nipples.

The second measurement is just under your bra .  This will give you a more accurate chest measurement.

Here are some more measurements to take.  If you want to notice size increase or decrease faster then use CM.  If you happy with American standard than use inches.

To save space I will list measurements to take, later I'll break out my tape

measure and show you the measurements in photos.

record your height and weight.  Wrist circumference and ankle circumference.

Thes measurement will not change soon.

As a guideline if your wrist are 5" or < you have a small bone structure.

If your wrist are 6"-7" than your bone structure is medium.

Which means 7" + you have a big bone structure.

Now measure neck, shoulders, chest (women take 2 measurements as explained),

upper arms , lower arms, wisat at navel height, hips around middle of your 

bottom.  Upper legs are tricky.  

For upper legs you may pick close to top near groin of if you prefer about 1/3 of the way down.  Then of course calves at the biggest part.

Now you no where you are today  Record this information in your training journal and date it.  Enjoy the Christmas holiday, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah or other festive time. For the Pagans and Wiccans this is the time near winter solstice and the time when the god is buried in the womb. 

Later this month or in January I will talk about a concept called "Periodization".
