Spaceship Enterprise in 20 years? Beam me up! - Technology & science - Space. In Star Trek lore, the first Starship Enterprise will be built by the year 2245.
But today, an engineer has proposed — and outlined in meticulous detail — building a full-sized, ion-powered version of the Enterprise complete with 1G of gravity on board, and says it could be done with current technology, within 20 years. "We have the technological reach to build the first generation of the spaceship known as the USS Enterprise — so let's do it," writes the curator of the Build The Enterprise website, who goes by the name of BTE Dan. This "Gen1" Enterprise could get to Mars in 90 days, to the moon in three, and "could hop from planet to planet dropping off robotic probes of all sorts en masse — rovers, special-built planes and satellites,” BTE Dan says.
Complete with conceptual designs, ship specs, a funding schedule and almost every other imaginable detail, the BTE website was launched just this week and covers almost every aspect of how the project could be done.

Moore's law is an example of futures studies; it is a statistical collection of past and present trends with the goal of accurately extrapolating future trends.
Futures studies (also called futurology and futurism) is the study of postulating possible, probable, and preferable futures and the worldviews and myths that underlie them. There is a debate as to whether this discipline is an art or science. In general, it can be considered as a branch of the social sciences and parallel to the field of history. In the same way that history studies the past, futures studies considers the future. Futures studies (colloquially called "futures" by many of the field's practitioners) seeks to understand what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change.
Overview[edit] Futures studies is an interdisciplinary field, studying yesterday's and today's changes, and aggregating and analyzing both lay and professional strategies and opinions with respect to tomorrow. Methodologies[edit] Tutorials. TRON: Legacy Concept Art. IBM Simulates 4.5% of the Human Brain; Skynet Is Next. It’s pretty well known at this point that computers are quickly catching up with humanity as far as brain power is concerned.
Storage-wise, we’ve been long surpassed by machines, and powerfully fast computers can run circles around the human brain in solving complex equations. On the other hand, humanity wins in the brain's sheer computational power and energy efficiency. At least, for now. IBM’s Blue Gene supercomputer has already surpassed the processing power of some of our weaker animal relatives; mice, rats and cats, and according to IBM’s research paper, the human brain isn’t that far ahead.
The brain contains on the order of 20 billion neurons that are connected by roughly 200 trillion synapses. When was Judgement Day, again? We’ve covered the apocalyptic aspect of Moore’s Law of computers before, but it’s worth revisiting here. What do you think? [IBM via Scientific American] Like this?
