Sinopsis

In "The Story of My Boyhood and Youth," John Muir offers a poignant and lyrical narrative detailing his formative years amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland and the American wilderness. Muir's prose is rich with vivid descriptions, reflecting his deep love for nature and exploration. The book serves not only as a memoir but also as a philosophical treatise, exploring the interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. Written during the late 19th century, this work emerges at a time when America was grappling with industrialization, making Muir's advocacy for conservation and appreciation of the wild all the more resonant and urgent. John Muir, often referred to as the "Father of the National Parks," was profoundly influenced by his upbringing in the Scottish Highlands and later experiences in the American frontier. His early encounters with nature fueled his lifelong passion for environmentalism and his commitment to preserving natural spaces. Muir's unique perspective blends adventurous spirit with a reflective philosophy, which is evident throughout this autobiographical work. For readers seeking a deeper understanding of nature, identity, and the struggle for conservation, Muir's memoir is an essential read. It not only illustrates his personal journey but also inspires a greater appreciation for the wilderness, making it a timeless narrative that resonates with nature lovers and environmentalists alike.

    This book was inspired by my previous work of Science Fiction in: 'The Book To End All Books'. At the climactic conclusion of that book, I realized that we didn't have the 1,000 years I gave humankind to create a 2nd sun in the sky. We would be extinct by then and long buried in the debris of our own destruction. 
    So, I decided to put all the speculative knowledge that I had learned from my science fiction novel into use in this book in hopes that perhaps humanity would be wise enough to give it a try. We can do this. We can ignite Jupiter and create a 2nd sun. And, I also answer the question - Why would we do this? 
    Humanity has some major challenges to its continued existence that are caused by our technology. But now we have the opportunity to use our advanced space and rocket technology and our laser Fusion Reactor technology to combine them into a major project for the world to take on. 
    We can use our current knowledge of nuclear fusion and space travel to send a team to create a station on the four moons of Jupiter and shoot high energy red laser beams into the hydrogen core of Jupiter to ignite the gas giant into a 2nd sun in our sky. Don't worry - Jupiter is five times further away from us than our present sun, so it would not create any significant amounts of additional heat. It's also 1,000 times smaller than our 1st sun, so again, we have nothing to fear from increased heat. BUT, we would gain twice as much FREE AND SUSTAINABLE SOLAR ENERGY from another sun and this could be utilized by both the Earth and Mars to save our species.

    Much has been written about the Space Race, which is still taught across America today, but the story of human space exploration is mostly one of cooperation. Even in the summer of 1969, the Soviets had given the United States the flight plan for its Luna 15 mission, allowing Apollo 11 to avoid it.  
    	That was the first of many examples of cooperation in space between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and ultimately, their research and cooperation helped lead to the construction of the International Space Station (ISS), a large space station assembled in Earth’s orbit that represents the most ambitious international space project in history.  
    	Thanks to the various components that have been put together, the International Space Station is bigger and brighter than all other artificial satellites. With relatively low power magnification, people can see the solar panels radiating outward from the numerous international modules which make up the ISS. The reality of that platform, at the edge of the ocean of space, is pretty astounding when looked at from the perspective of history. Only 120 years ago, mankind did not know if it was possible to fly in a heavier-than-air vehicle. Constructed with over 30 different modules and pieces that were carried into orbit by dozens of different launches, the ISS is already over 150 feet long, 300 feet wide and 60 feet tall. Astronauts from 10 nations have spent time on the space station as long-term crew. 
    	In addition, the International Space Station can truly be held as a sign that the Space Age is maturing quite nicely, at least on a social and personal level. A total of 34 women have visited the space station, eight tourists have paid for the privilege of taking the trip to the station, and there have been many who have made multiple trips to the ISS.
