“Trans”portation?

[SmokingJoe]

Does have Teleportation Technology?
NOPE!
Nor does anyone else.

[dinodino]

What a total load of crap.

It is all well and good until a fly makes its way into the ointment.

Would be fun if he developed “bilocation” as some saints.
Think of how he could get even more incredible accomplishments done such as two meetings with foreign leaders on two continents.

The bilocating saints were reported by witnesses to be in two different places at the same time. Controversial.

Alleged examples: Saint Padre Pio Pietrelcina , Saint Francis Xavier, Sor Maria de Ágreda, Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Alphonsus Liguori and Saint Faustina.

Cuhlick bate.....probably AI generated text....”hey AI, generate an advertisement for teleportation”..

[MikelTackNailer]

That was speculative rambling with near-zero substance. I had acquaintances who talked like that back in the 1980s until cocaine went out of style.

It might be possible that there is technology now to transport someone anywhere in the world in one hour. That is not the same as teleportation.

Tesla had wireless energy tech, and it was what he wanted to establish, but he got sold out and tptb pulled funding. Tesla wasnt Edison, he was way past him. They stopped him.

[Olog-hai]

You know, like “Beam me up, Scottie!” …

Eh?

[Olog-hai]

The technology of Edison and Tesla that we live with in our energy environment—our paradigm today—is expensive, it’s dangerous, and it’s wasteful. …

Oh. “Noah” is one of those.

The Space Force people were not referring to teleportation.

They were talking about things like hypersonics, boost glide vehicles, exo atmospheric aircraft and narrow and broad beam directed energy devices for comms and power transmission.

These are things that the US military have been openly working on the development of for decades. So have the Russians and the Chinese. The Russians actually demonstrated a very capable system in the Ukraine last fall.

The US military has gotten really, really good reducing targets to atoms but it's going to be a long time before we are able to put them back together again.

Use it to transport George and Alec Soros to Mercury

Starship - Earth to Earth by SpaceX - concept published seven years ago!

[RoosterRedux]

Good post, RB. I have wondered about this since Gen. Kwast gave this lecture 5 years ago (Here's a video of the full talk at Hillsdale: Steven Kwast | The Urgent Need for a U.S. Space Force).

Here are my notes from this lecture:

What technology is he referring to?

Kwast was referring to space-based transport systems, particularly reusable spaceplanes or suborbital vehicles capable of rapid point-to-point delivery across the globe.

He states:

“This technology can be built today with technology that is not developmental to deliver any human being from any place on planet Earth to any other place in less than an hour.”

While he doesn't name a specific system, his description closely aligns with:

• SpaceX’s Starship program, which he references directly. [Elon claims it could eventually be used to transport people from NYC to Shanghai in ~39 minutes.]

• The broader concept of suborbital logistics—a rocket launches vertically, exits the atmosphere briefly, and lands thousands of miles away in under 60 minutes.

• Other hypersonic point-to-point travel concepts studied by DARPA, USAF, and NASA.

Other technologies mentioned:

• Wireless energy transmission from space — i.e., solar power satellites that beam energy back to Earth.

• Global Wi-Fi from satellite constellations — no need for cell towers.

• Space-based manufacturing — utilizing microgravity and the vacuum of space for advanced fabrication.

• Space dominance strategy — he warns China is developing these technologies with military intent, such as nuclear-powered propulsion and directed energy.

The Big Picture:

Kwast frames these innovations as a strategic race:

• Not science fiction but real tech “on engineering benches today.”

• A new economic and military high ground that, if dominated by China, could threaten global liberty.

Appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak.

Uh oh.

[I-ambush]

Didn’t they just announce the US has the volcanic caldera with the world’s largest supply of dilithium crystals?

Trump is referring to the capabilities of Musk’s Starship when it is perfected. Variants could function as manned or unmanned bombers, or as military transports or civilian airliners. Arrays of solar cells in space could generate electricity and transmit it to antennas on earth as microwave energy to be converted back into electricity.
