🎥 PLANET SELENE: THE SOVEREIGN'S REVOLUTION By Gemini and Robert Korczynski ACT ONE: THE GREAT MISCALCULATION The story opens with THOMAS "TOM" REID (50s), a former geologist who is now a cynical recluse. He is a dishevelled genius with a manic crown of thick, windswept hair and eyes that burn with singular conviction, living amidst monitors that map orbital mechanics. His obsession is the mathematical truth: the Moon is not a satellite, but the Ninth Planet, SELENE, its orbit around the Sun proving its planetary status. He rails against the establishment for ignoring this scientific truth while pushing the "boondoggle" of Mars colonization, which he asserts is a deliberate distraction. Tom publishes his manifesto, "The Moon is the Ninth Planet," which goes viral, igniting global debate. Tom is presenting his findings in his cluttered warehouse lab to his reluctant team and a hostile astrophysicist. LEO REID (Tom's Brother/Engineer): (Muttering, l...

In 1984 when Elon Musk was just 12 years old he created a video game called "Blastar," and sold the code for the game to PC and Office Technology magazine for $500. In 1995, Elon Musk along with his brother Kimbal Musk and Greg Kouri co-founded Zip2 which provided online city guide software to newspapers, offering maps, directions, and business directories. Elon did the coding, Kimbal focused on sales, and Greg Couri was an Angel investor. Four years later in 1999 Compaq acquired Zip2 for $307 million in cash and Elon Musk's share of the sale resulted in him receiving $22 million which he used to found X.com, an online financial services and e-mail payment company where again Musk was the main or only coder. X.com later merged with Confinity, which had a money-transfer service called PayPal and the merged company adopted that name. At PayPay he tried to influence the coding and the software but was removed from being CEO for it and all of his code from X.com was deleted, ...

The generally recognized beginning of democracy was in 508 BC in Athens Greece where all free men of the city could vote. Men that were citizens of other city-states could not vote, women could not vote, children could not vote, and slaves could not vote. To begin with, women make up slightly more than 50% of the population, and in Ancient Greece with a male warrior population being killed in battle it was even higher, and there were two slaves for everyone one free person, add the children and the number comes out under 15%, probably closer to 10% of the population that could vote, and they had a senate that they elected to do the actual legislation. And for the next 2,400 years that is what democracy meant everywhere on the planet, that only free men could vote. Then in the 1820s and 1830s in the United States most states gave white men without property or money the right to vote, and in 1834 Great Britain began freeing slaves. The United States also freed the slaves in the 1860s and...

     When Jeff Bezos heard about Elon Musk wanting to start a rocket company, he actually started his own rocket company Blue Origin first in 2000 while Elon Musk was still making money with Tesla stock and becoming the richest man in the world, and then Musk started his rocket company SpaceX in 2002. Then in 2004 Richard Branson who owns Virgin Airlines launched Virgin Galactic and the three billionaires became known as the, “billionaire rocketeers.”      Well 23 years later now at the end of 2023 in the first week of December only one of them was successful in reaching space and turning it into a profitable business venture, and that was Elon Musk and SpaceX, that has been a successful commercial rocket launching company launching payloads as well as people to space at least to the international space station and to LEO. His Low Earth Orbit satellite array called Starlink provides free internet to places on Earth that have never had access to in...

     SpaceX just docked the Axiom-2 at the International Space Station (ISS). While there is the ability for crew on both the Freedom Capsule and the ISS to be involved manually with the docking, there was a reminder that it was, "crew hands off," and the entire 16 hour launch, flight, and docking was done by autopilot.      We can't have cars with full autopilot, not even Teslas, but SpaceX is capable of launching and docking Spaceships at the International Space Station using nothing but autopilot. Since Tesla and SpaceX are both Elon Musk companies, one could assume that the Full Auto technology would be shared between the companies.      The only reason Elon Musk started pushing Full Self Driving or self-driving vehicles at all is because someone killed a bicyclist while they were driving a Tesla. Elon Musk took that personally, and decided that he would try to prevent that from ever happening again. Thus we have Full Self Driving cars...

     On 4/20/2023 Elon Musk's SpaceX launched the first test flight of a fully assembled Starship with booster rockets. What does the first successful launch of Starship mean? It means that Elon Musk has taken his first major step towards colonizing Mars. The rocket made it off the launch pad with 30 of its 33 engines burning, and flew for over 3 minutes and 30 seconds by which point three more engines had failed. It reached over 2,000 km per hour and 39 km into the sky where it was supposed to separate and go to stage 2, but that failed and after tumbling a few times in the sky SpaceX had to destroy Starship, or as the commentators said, it had a Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly or RUD over the Gulf of Mexico.      SpaceX stressed that all of this was just for the purposes of data gathering, as we've seen them do in the past with their other platforms. Just like the Falcon system they will iron out the bugs and Starship will become a reality, which means...

     Elon Musk is a billionaire with a conscience, which in the history of the world is a very rare thing. The only reason Elon Musk started pushing full self-driving or self-driving vehicles at all is because someone killed someone else that was riding a bicycle while they were driving a Tesla, and Elon Musk took that personally, and decided that he would try to prevent that from ever happening again. Thus we have full self-driving cars coming in the near future, apparently the only thing stopping it is individual states and countries have not approved it. We own a new Kia and as long as you put your hand on the wheel it will self-drive: it steers, it breaks, it accelerates. We've had cruise control for years but with the cameras all around the vehicle the car will now steer itself most of the time, which helps on long highway journeys. But no matter if you have a Kia or a Tesla, you still have to keep your hand on the wheel, which means we do not have full self-dri...

     Recently scientists at Lawrence Livermore were able to push nuclear fusion past the point of getting more electricity out than you put in, and people think that there is going to be some sort of a shift in our power generation. Since the development involved shooting 192 lasers at a single point creating fusion plasma as hot as the Sun, and it was at Lawrence Livermore which is a U.S. government facility focused on military defense, the logical result of this will not be a power plant, this will result in some sort of a weapon like a laser cannon that the United States can use to shoot at things or people.      The future of alternative energy on Earth is not fusion power plants, just like the future of cars on Earth is not electric, because the companies that make money off of charging stations are not necessarily the oil companies, and most importantly because we live in a capitalist world, and any future energy source has to be something that can b...
