Comment Re:Content Creation isn't there (Score 2) 302

I create 3D content with my Perl program. I am a consumer who tried the 3D printer service at the UPS Store in February, 2014. The documentation for the consumer to read does not exist. They could not print my Venus Globe as a turn-key job, so communications stopped from their end (New York City). Here are pictures of my consumer application simulation: http://venusglobe.cabanova.com... Conclusion: for the 3D printer retailer to get consumers to spend money, they need to tell us several facts. Facts: use one file for the 3D product. The retailer uses a certain CAD software that is disclosed to the consumer so she can duplicate a problem. The retailer runs a sanity check on the product and gives the results to the consumer, like this: http://i.materialise.com/

I used 3D printers and I wrote the Perl program to make .stl files for globes of Mars and Earth : http://marsglobe.cabanova.com/ The Perl program makes triangles for 3D printers for Venus, and the Moon too : http://spikyglobe.cabanova.com... 3D Systems was the printer manufacturer. I have no CAD software to design, only Solidview to inspect the globes made with my Perl program. Perl is used to take a geographical database and create a 3d Printer file in .stl format for Stereolithography

Comment Re:8 frames of clear skies (Score 1) 50

I predict that Saturn has clear skies under the clouds. The .gif image of 8 frames gives some support for my expectation. The rocky core is seen in the .gif and that core has clear gas all the way to the polar hole in the cloud tops. Venus has clear skies under thick clouds. Mars has clear skies under clouds. Earth has clear air under clouds. Saturn is expected also to conform to that, so I predict the cloud tops of Saturn are over a thick layer of transparent atmosphere over a rocky core that is seen in the .gif movies center.

Comment Re:The real reason: X-Rays (Score 1) 580

When explorers report on the X-Rays on Mars, one quantifiable risk will drive people away from investing. I have seen no report on the X-Rays that bounce up from the soil after a cosmic ray hits red dirt. It is estimated in my book: Mars Tour for New Owners. No instruments are being sent to Mars to measure that withering hazard.

For people, there are three electrical switches to turn off permanently to lose weight: the TV switch, the car switch, the refrigerator switch. After those switches disconnect electrical energy, people adapt to the situation and lose weight. For animals, release them from cages permanently to let them get exercise and escape the urban glut.
