Jul 15 Word of the Day
The safeguarding of Earth and other worlds from biological cross-contamination (i.e. billionaires with too much time on their hands).

Also known as “planetary protection.” Planetary protection / quarantine “reflects both the unknown nature of the space environment and the desire of the scientific community to preserve the pristine nature of celestial bodies until they can be studied in detail.”

There are two types of interplanetary contamination. Forward contamination is the transfer of viable organisms from Earth to another celestial body. Back contamination is the transfer of extraterrestrial organisms, if such exist, back to the Earth's biosphere.
Billionaires are having a dick swinging space race while the earth experiences record breaking heatwaves that cause sea creatures to literally cook inside their shells. We need planetary quarantine.

A high-energy state of matter. Very deadly...radioactive, hot, and toxic...very truly said by the first definition...however...it is not found only in Sci-fi...it is quite real, and is used in the real world. You never see it, because there is simply not enough funding yet to put this incredible technology in place.

Also, the military, like computers, is keeping plasma technology both as a weapon and as an energy source, out of civilian hands, at least for the next 40 years. The reason is to keep civilians from being more advanced than the military, and also to perfect this new technology.

The United States military is already preparing themselves with plasma armaments to be mounted probably first on vehicles such as fighter jets and then guns to be held in the hands of mobile infantry soldiers. The goal in mind is low cost, high-abundance ammunition.

As a power source, it is already being used at the central core of not only the International Space Station, but the central hubs of cities.
Believe it. Because if you don't, one day it WILL come back to haunt you. The United States already has a plasma weapons platform in orbit and on the ground, in sync with eachother, ready to fire on any location on Earth. The purpose of this weapons system is a more efficient way of erradicating a whole area without the nuclear fallout, splash damage, etc.

Get in The Loop. You'll find out stuff like this all the time, and will find it very fascinating and gratifying.
