SPACE LAB: LAB TECH FUTURE
The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas started developing a prototype space station in 1987. The space station was deployed and became the home to astronauts for months. Part of the space station is the Health Maintenance Facility (HMF). The clinic includes a fully operational lab such as hematology, chemistry, blood gases and urinalysis, operating room, diagnostic imaging device and an EKG machine. The automated machines are modified for zero gravity and tested. The stability of the equipments during take-off and re-entry into the earth's atmosphere has been considered.
Equipment for space exploration is tested in the center's centrifuge, the world's largest man-made centrifuge ever. Researchers have developed a centrifuge and machines for hematology analysis of RBCs, WBCs, chemistry and urinalysis.

NANO-TECHNOLOGY IS THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OF THE FUTURE...The word
NANO started and became a popular alien expression in an 80's TV show
starring comedian Robin Williams and he'd say "Nano Nano." Nano means
one billionth attachment to, from or of something - in this
case, the something is technology. In the field of technological
research, scientists define it as the science that deals with structures the
size of individual molecules. The structures are 50,000 times
smaller than the width of a human hair. It can not be seen or felt
but it is useful by playing with them. Nanotubes can be assembled to any
shapes or size and can handle extremely high temperature. They exist at
the ultimate design scale at which nature works. Creation of
Nano-materials will greatly help in dealing with natural as well as man-made
disasters.

Nano-science and Nano-technology will have a tremendous effect on issues
of:
- Solving civic, societal
problems and in areas of urban planning. - Providing war science
knowledge for national security and
defense. - Developing computer software
security. - Energy, water and minerals are
becoming scarce on earth and Nano-space technology has a lot of potential to
offer. The cost of space exploration to the Moon and Mars will be
greatly reduced by making billionth times lightweight material inside
spaceships; the development of reusable and
infinite launching capabilities. A space rocket made of
nanotubes would be the size and strength of the current space shuttle but will
have the weight of a conventional car. Zoom Zoom. - Establishing human habitat on Mars when
the day of destruction on Earth comes due to environmental disaster and
constant global warming scare by environmental activists. Manufacturing
mining industrial units in space. - Using Nano-technology device in
diverting or destroying asteroids approaching the Earth. - Moving faster in the upgrading of
telecommunication engineering and integrating with application of space
technology, biotechnology and information technology. - Providing building
materials for tiny machines, medical instruments and human body organs built
on an atomic scale and the hexagonal patterns of carbon atoms for extremely
strong and durable materials. - Cars made of nanotubes
would be more stronger and more stable than a car made of steel. It
would only weigh 50 pounds. The dumb but good question is what about a
tornado blowing your 50-pound car away from Kansas to Motor City? Nature
versus machine.
The American President Bush,
ambitious and visionary, has envisioned a synergistic human journey to Mars
by 2050 using Nano-science and Nano-technology. It's all futuristic but
born at the dawn of the new millennium. In the next decades, it's
necessary for space scientists to be involved in the revolution and march and
act in the field of nanoinstruments and nanostructured satellites.
Last October 27th, Wednesday, millions of stargazers all over the world watched
and admired the umbra penumbra of the Moon shadow and total eclipse. Half
a century from now (maybe), new generation will be witness to the
astounding success of many Nanos floating and operating in the solar
systems. Is that a Nano-technological wonder or what? To quote John
F. Kennedy:
