The VASIMR Engine: How to Get to Mars in 40 Days

In theory, the VASIMR can also be used for interstellar travel, it can provide 1g constant acceleration (meaning it can provide artificial gravity). It's being developed since 1977. Thank you Franklin Chang Díaz for creating the 𝖵𝖠𝖲𝖨𝖬𝖱 (Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket) concept! Overall, it's near the speed of light propulsion.

My view of countries prosperity in the long run

List of countries by population (United Nations) - Wikipedia

This is a list of independent countries and inhabited dependent territories by total population, based on projections published by the United Nations in the 2017 revision of World Population Prospects. Figures refer to the population in a country or area projected according to the "medium fertility" scenario.

Infographic - The height (the head) of the man in the image is proportional to the country's population

If all things would be equal I believe that the best prosperity countries are those with more than 50 million and less than 500 million people, in the centuries time frame.

Salt in the wound & Oil on the fire - why (don't be evil) and when (never)

• Salt in the wound (never) => Vinegar or alcohol in the wound (might be right)
  => Healing oil or water in the wound (Ok)
• Oil or alcohol on the fire (never) => Vinegar or water on fire (might be right)
  => Water on the fire (Ok)

Conclusion: Please don't be evil and please never put "Salt in the wound" or "Oil on the fire"!

Happy World AIDS Day 2017!

I have problems accepting these graphics (Flag of the World Health Organization), it looks ugly to me, but don't let it be a problem for you. 

I've tried to mention it before, in my article: "13 first aid facts that are actually lies and another sign of discomfort in publicly funded health insurance programs".

I hope Bictegravir, a new drug, will give good results in the treatment of 𝖧𝖨𝖵 infection.

My view on basic income

Believe in yourself, Trust your bank, Believe in basic income.

On 4 October 2013, Swiss activists from Generation Grundeinkommen organized a performance in Bern in which roughly 8 million coins, one coin representing one person out of Switzerland's population, were dumped on a public square. This was done in celebration of the successful collection of more than 125,000 signatures, forcing the government to hold a referendum on whether or not to incorporate the concept of basic income in the Federal constitution. The measure did not pass, with 76.9% voting against basic income. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
