Life i enjoy life with all it's challenges and mysteries. i find it exciting and exhilarating to seek new knowledge,horizons and to venture into the unknown.already we are planning on how to ensure mankind will communicate more clearly and be better understood when they make their trip to mars and when they begin the colonization, mining, and exploring the moon in 2045. recent scientific evidence indicates that the moon does have water underneath it's surface.what is unclear at this time is how much water is locked below the surface of the moon.if it is in sufficient quantities then it may hold some real exciting possibilities about what we can do on the moon. the understanding of the communication and semantics of what the explorers,miners and colonizers are saying verbally versus what they really mean or are thinking but not saying is extremely important in order to clear up misunderstandings or when giving directions or watching out for potential dangers that explorers,miners or colonizers may be gettint into but not recognize.-- we are like alice in the looking glass peering into the universe and beholding all of it's wonders that we can see. and dream or fantasize about what the parts of the universe are like that we cannot see.on a planned trip to mars we had originally hoped and planned to send a mission to mars by 2010 and use a sling shot effect of having the space craft go around the sun and use that boost to increase the spacecraft's speed. if we had launched in 2010 the cost would only have been 40 billion dollars. however now we are not going to be able to make that date. so now we will launch in 2028 or possibly sooner a combined habitat and a stores resource mission to mars. this will proceed the manned mission to mars by approximately one to two years from the time the manned mission leaves the space station or moon to the time they return will take a total of three years.the six to eight person astronaut team will have to spend a minimum of 500 days on mars before they can begin their return mission back to the moon or space station. the cost for the combined mission is projected to be 440 billion dollars.there are many hurdles yet to over come such as muscle tone and bone density loss. we are currently making progress on some experimental means to subject the astronauts body to gravity.we are looking at several different options which would achieve this effect.this very necessary goal needs to be accomplished before the mission launch date. also with the above goals there are these additional goals of making sure the astronauts are receiving the proper nutrients and vitamins necessary to maintain the needs of their body chemistry. extremely important are the necessary protocols which need to be put in place to assist the astronauts in maintaining good morale and positive communication among the crew over the three years they will be gone.looking even further into the future when we send a expedition even further out into space exploration we currently plan to have between 68 to 98 persons aboard. half will be men and half will be women and there ages will between 21 to 36. current experiments show that this type of arrangement works best in having better communication,less stressors, better morale. the crew will have a more positve outlook along with a higher energy and accomplish a great deal more in their mission. School i went to lincoln elementary up to the eight grade.then went to yuba city high school grades 9 thru 10. transferred to dinuba high school and went to grades 11 and 12. then i went to the collge of sequoias grades 13 and 14 then on to fresno state where i graduated in 1961 with a major in political economics and a minor in physics and chemistry.then through the navy i was able to complete my master's degree in communication . many years later i got roped into starting my doctoral program.this was due to a training class i attended on how to better facilitate management meetings. the instructor worked for aerojet and had master degrees in communication and semantics. he is an old country boy and cowboy like me. after the class when we were talking and he found out my master's degree was in communication then he proceeded to tell me how he needed an old country cowboy to join him in getting our phd's specializing in communication and semantics.since he already had established contacts with a university campus by previously getting his two master's degrees from them it all worked out for both of us.also it did not hurt on my application that my father had his phd,had been a college professor,and his area of specialization was in multisensory and miniturization devices. some of these devices were placed in the redstone capsules and the mercury capsules.the rest of his research was utilized for military and space operations and almost all of it was classified. presently i now have four years and eight months left in my doctoral program with the goal of obtaining my phd in c...Expand for more
