Can Alaska Be Settled With a Lower Mortality Rate? Two Ways to Improve Alaskan Transport And Other Frontier Travel.

.. ...Alaska is believed to be the only state to be planned before it's settled, a sort of giant urban land with volume up in the months ahead. Alaska has a much higher accident rate in air travel than other states. Alaska senator Ted Stevens, a strong proponent of plane safety in Alaska died in a plane crash in 2010. Alaska needs planes to keep in business, to deliver food and supplies to remote villages, hunters to the outer realms of woods and giant streams and massifs, and like around here a way to travel from A to Z is always of Woolworth.

...

To solve this problem and for other remote areas two systems might be used. First to deliver supplies much faster and more reliably, rockets can go much faster than small planes and with minimal risk of loss of life, they would land like a helicopter and be resuable to save money too. Talk about unfrozen cheeze that won't go rancid, with g forces the lunch will always be a power lunch..

... Second, a system of redundancy could be used to make the planes safer for travel. Flying over realms like water and wasteland with just the reliability of the motor on the line, or between two cliffs to reach the goal for pilots in Alaska is common. The system could be retrofit to existing planes, using airships. In this plan, on sensing danger, the pilot is warned and or asked if the emergency system should be used. If so a leader balloon is filled with air, rising up to a higher height with a wire. The wire then serves as the path for a larger balloon to rise around the wire with a seal at the top, being rapidly inflated. North is how the airship would elevate! Next an anchor-rich would be dropped or fired into the ground. The plane now slowed or stopped by the balloons would safely lower down, perhaps holding the airplane a few feet above the ground till the storm is past, this could also be used to anchor above water if a torpedo is used to anchor the airship. A ladder on the anchor wire leads to the ground or pontoon in the water. This method solves the old problem for air travel, how to park the plane in an emergency, "Stop the plane It's an emergency! I'm a tourist and I wanna see the cute stewardesses!" There's often no place to land. The anchor would be a sort of narrow landing field. Unlike present emergencies, the supplies, food, and heated inflatable shelters could then be delivered by the rockets in just minutes not days or weeks. The smaller pilot balloon could be the right size for the speed so it would gradually slow it enough for the large balloon to slow it further, Higher speed would use a smaller inflation and take more time to slow to safer mph, common with higher speeds. Once the storm is past and after seeing if the plane is safe via computer sensors, the airship might rise, let go of the plane, and it would sail then start from high altitude to the destination. If the plane wasn't safe, at least a regular supply of food heat and first aid supplies could be sent till the others arrive.

There is no echo in the marm room where I'm typing now, AHHH! Foam is Worth Volumes.

One problem of the old idea of beaming power from solar collectors in orbit (where it's sunshine often and optimists celebrate!) is about the risk of beaming the radiation sideways by accident and frying a nearby village. I think this could be solved by using a mirror on the ground and beaming the beam in phase. If it reaches the mirror in phase, the change of phase generates power while if the beam is to the side away from the mirror, the energy is always low enough to be safe, it's out of phase.
