Own Your Own Island

OWN YOUR OWN ISLAND
Want to claim an island and start your own country?

There are hundreds of thousands of tiny islands spread throughout the oceans of the world, many of which are uninhibited and waiting to be claimed. Many of these islands are built up from oozing volcanoes bringing forth magma and Earth core materials, including rare metals to the surface, some of which are rich in valuable ore deposits waiting to be mined and claimed.

Don't choose any island too close to land, or the adjacent country will supersede you with their own claim on the island and surrounding water. The Earth is continually geologically active and volcanoes are continuing to make more and more islands, so the cycle is never ending. There are additional benefits in the form of grants and investment money to those who can show a serious effort to establish their own country for development of their island. This may include the development of roads and infrastructure, water development, housing and energy sources.

There are other good sense rules to follow. Island selection should take place during lunar high tide, and be sure to calculate the highest height of waves from typhoons and other bad weather storms. The island must be elevated high enough so as not to go underwater at these times. Islands always have the danger from impending rogue killer waves, tsunami, earthquake, and severe storms so emergency plans must be in effect at all times. It helps to choose an island not situated on the top of an active volcano.

It affords an opportunity to create a new high technology space age city with import gains from tourism. Access to the island by boat will sidestep the expense and eco damage of airports. Invest in non polluting clean technology.

Strategic island location nearest a populated region to minimize transit time will be beneficial. Choosing a latitude and longitude to minimize heating and cooling will be helpful. A sunny location can facilitate solar panels.

The minimum number of homes can be small and isolated to their own solar grid for electricity. Water waves and wind can also generate electricity. Some of the greatest science can be accomplished from an observatory at this location to study the night sky and deep ocean life. Apartments will be needed to host visiting research scientists. Marine biologists will also want to study the region and oceanographers will map and categorize benefits of the reef and evolving island geo-activity, bringing in more activity, trade, and investment.

Conservation will be an important part of your island plan, such as the planting of new trees and useful vegetation. Edible coconuts and natural fruit and berry bushes and trees will serve as a food supplement and attract birds that will keep down the bug and mosquito populations. The island could have one 7-11 stockpile store for all your needs. Boat will provide shipping needs and transport people to and from the island. Internet is by satellite service. Home lighting may be provided by resettable pendulum weight generators. Other challenges will need to be solved regarding cooking stoves and a waste disposal system.

Food will primarily come from the ocean, as fish, shrimp, crabs, clams, scallops, lobster, sea vegetables, etc. The Big Brain envisions large net machines that automatically traverse underwater and robotically collect fish.

Perhaps the Big Brain could occupy an entire island such as this.

LAser GEOdynamics Satellite-1 (LAGEOS) was designed by NASA and launched in 1976. It was the first spacecraft dedicated exclusively to high-precision laser ranging and provided the first opportunity to acquire laser-ranging data that were not degraded by errors originating in the satellite orbit or satellite array. LAGEOS-2, based on the LAGEOS-1 design, was built by the Italian Space Agency and was launched in 1992. There are plans for the launch of LAGEOS-3, which is a joint multinational program with collaboration from France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Spain and the United States. Data from LAGEOS-3 would be used to measure, for the first time, a quasi-stationary property of the Earth - its gravitational magnetic dipole moment as predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.

After a 15-month trip, Magellan went into orbit around Venus on August 10, 1990. Over the next four years it mapped 99 percent of the surface of Venus.

MGS Mars Global Surveyor

Pioneer
http://space.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/Programs/pioneer.html
The Pioneer series of spacecraft performed first-of-their-kind explorations of the Sun, Jupiter, Saturn and Venus. The different missions had little in common except that they all paved the way for later in-depth investigations, and were all spin stabilized. Pioneer 0, 1, and 2 were the United States' first lunar attempts. These identical spacecraft, which all failed to meet their lunar objectives, were followed by Pioneer 3 and 4, which succeeded in becoming America's first successful lunar missions. Pioneer 5 provided the first maps of the interplanetary magnetic field. Pioneers 6,7,8, and 9 were the world's first solar monitoring network and provided warnings of increased solar activity which could affect Earth orbiting satellites and ground systems. The twin Pioneer 10 and 11 vehicles were the first spacecraft to ever visit Jupiter and Saturn. The craft performed a wide variety of scientific observations of the two planets and returned environmental data that was used during the design of the more sophisticated Voyager probes. The Pioneer Venus mission, consisting of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (Pioneer 12) and Pioneer Venus Multiprobe (Pioneer 13), was the United States' first long-term mission to observe Venus and studied the structure and composition of the Venusian atmosphere. The mission also provided the first radar map of the planet's surface.

POLAR
http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/polar/
Unlocking the Secrets of Earth's Magnetosphere. The Polar satellite, launched on February 24, 1996, is in a highly elliptical, 86 deg inclination orbit with a period of about 17.5 hours. Within the Sun-Earth Connections fleet, Polar has the responsibility for multi-wavelength imaging of the aurora, measuring the entry of plasma into the polar magentosphere and the geomagnetic tail, the flow of plasma to and from the ionosphere, and the deposition of particle energy in the ionosphere and upper atmosphere. Polar was launched to observe the polar magnetosphere and, as its orbit has precessed with time, has observed the equatorial inner magnetosphere and is now progressing toward an extended southern hemisphere campaign.

Roentgen Satellite (ROSAT)
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosgof.html
ROSAT, the Röntgen Satellite, was an X-ray observatory developed through a cooperative program between Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The satellite was proposed by the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik (MPE) and designed, built and operated in Germany. It was launched by the United States on June 1, 1990. The mission ended after almost nine years, on February 12, 1999.
