A Newarth?

May be, it is time for America and Russia to just donate NASA and Russian Space Agency to humanity fully and say: look we give you this the best America and Russia  could produce thinking of the words of the first human being on the moon: A small step for a man but a giant step for mankind! 

Astronomers are very excited about this new discovery of theirs which is a new Earth like planet 20 Light Years Away!

One could ask, how on earth the astronomers discovered this planet when the star system to which this planet belongs to, takes thousands of human years to send its lights to reach us! Well, science has its ways to deliver wonders and this is done using existing technologies.

However, this very fact that there is a planet like earth out there somewhere, even if it is 20 light years away, is astounding in itself! This planet, we are calling it, Newarth, is 1.5 times bigger than our Earth and yet it is located in its solar star system in a position that makes it almost as hot as the Earth. 

This only means that there can be water that could support life, although this must be said that because  it is 1.5 times bigger than the Earth its gravity is 1.5 time more powerful than earthian gravity and therefore it would not be possible to have human like or even big animal like beings living or growing there. 

Yet one could speculate that there could still be life growing there very much near the surface or within its marine waters!

The other interesting fact is that although Newarth is much closer to its star than the Earth is to the Sun, its star is not as hot as our Sun. That might mean that there would be lot less radiation, solar rays emitting out, solar wind, and energy fields  and at the same time it would mean that their intensity ought to be rather less powerful offering us opportunities, may be, in the very very very distant distant future to be able to study that star to understand a star much better than we do now for the fact that we cannot ever have direct human contact with our angry burning star the Sun!

These are exciting times for Astronomy! We now ought employ all our efforts to develop the knowledge base, technological advancement and the craftsmanship so that we could make better space crafts and find better and less cumbersome fuelling  system to power the craft because it now takes all the space of craft to have the fuel on board! We are at the horse carriage stage of space craft building and we need to develop concord space craft! 

That's the challenge faced by NASA, ESA, Russian Space Agency and International Space Agency and all other relevant bodies including University Departments to grapple with! 

May be it is time we have all these organisations coming together forming a truly universal organisation led by the expertise of NASA and Russian Space Agency that these two wonderful organisations have developed over the last few decades and it is time for America and Russia to just donate NASA and Russian Space Agency to humanity fully and say: look we give you this the best America and Russia  could produce thinking of the words of the first human being on the moon: A small step for a man but a giant step for mankind! 

And Humanasa would still be based in America and Russia but would not be run by American or Russian Administration. Instead it would be run by a Universal body of Academic Scientists, Astronomers, Astronauts, Cosmonauts, Mathematicians, Geologists, Physicists, Geog-Physicists, Chemists, Dortors, Artists, Designers, Philosophers, Poets, some children's and young people's input, donated from all the nations (there is no big or small nation in this and there is definitely no VETOing!!) out of their best institutions (universities and Space Agencies). And Humanasa would become the core of all space exploration and space science on behalf of humanity and all other national space agencies in all existing countries that have an agency would become part of Humanasa and countries that do not have a space agency would have one! 

Who would finance it? It would be financed by all the governments of the world as well as the bodies from where the academics are coming from (which should treat these people working at Humanasa as though they were in sabbatical leave engaged in research and pay their salaries)  and further finance can be had from the world corporations like the satellite companies, mobile telephone companies and any other companies that use the knowledge and technology developed by Humanasa in their business as well as all the schools, colleges, universities and other research organisations that useservices from Humanasa would be required to pay a minimal subscription fee for the usage of the scientific out product deriving from the works of Humanasa.

Dream like might it sound but we are desperately in need of such a Universal Body to lead us out of this miserable village-nation-identities that our failed political system has boxed us in and take us further into this infinite domain!
