His initial voyage was still another “scientific expedition”, ostensibly initiated by the Royal Society to observe the tran- sit of the planet Venus across the Sun. Lord Shelburne personally presented the request to fund it to King George III. Cook’s own sponsor was the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Earl of Sandwich, the number two man in a powerful nexus of Satan worship- pers known as the Hell Fire Club, while the head of his scientific staff was Sandwich’s neighbour, protégé and fellow Hell Fire Club member, Sir Joseph Banks. In the coming de- cades, Banks would become known as the “father of Australia”. Amid much fanfare Cook’s Endea- vour set sail in 1768 to “observe the transit of Venus”; secretly, he carried instructions to claim the unmapped eastern coast of Terra Australis as a fu- ture anchor of British maritime power and trade. This, he did. So important were Cook’s voyag- es, that they continued even during the American Revolution of 1775 - 81. In- deed, the Pacific theatre became ever more important to the British follow- ing the loss of their American colo- nies, the bulwark of their empire in the Atlantic.

Aware that Port Jackson to the north was a far su- perior harbour, Phillip, in less than a week, packed up his entire fleet and set sail for Port Jackson. The strate- gic urgency to beat the French was such that a ship’s surgeon reported that Phillip’s ships had only got out of Botany Bay “with utmost difficul- ty and danger with many hairbreadth escapes … with everyone blaming the rashness of the Governor in in- sisting upon the fleets working out in such weather, & all agreed it was next Governor Arthur Phillip (upper left) report- to a Miracle that some of the Ships ed from Australia to his superior in London, were not lost.” Phillip arrived at Port Venetian Party head Lord Shelburne.

But, “If we can persuade the hare to go to sleep”, Malthus wrote of Ireland’s rapidly expanding population, “the tortoise may have some chance of overtaking her.” The most infamous, but charac- teristic result of Britain “persuad- ing the hare to go to sleep”, was to be the so-called “potato famine” of 1845-49.

Inspired and aided by the Americans, the Irish Volunteers army drove Generals Lafayette (l.) and Washington (r.) at George Washington’s home in Virginia. Lafayette played a crucial role the British from Ireland in 1782. in the American Revolution, and schemed for Irish independence as well. Scottish Martyrs eanwhile, the British looted MScotland almost as savagely as they had Ireland, notably through the notorious “enclosures”, in which the Scots were evicted wholesale from their land in order to turn them into sheep runs for British landlords. Those who resisted, or who espoused the ideals of the American Revolu- tion, were, like the Irish, also shipped to Australia. The most famous of these were the “Scottish Martyrs”: Thomas Muir, Maurice Margarot, Jo- seph Gerrald, Thomas Fyshe Palm- er, William Skirving, and John Horne Tooke.

Selenopolis, Krafft Ehricke’s city on the Moon, seen here in an artist’s depiction, is the first triumph of human creativity and imagination in the colonization of space.

A Worldwide Effort Dr. Chang-Diaz’s VASIMR plasma rocket was, by no means, the only fu- sion design tested, nor is it the only one flying today. A broad-scale re- search and development program was restarted in 2010, to apply fusion to power space travel. A major contri- bution to the international fusion ef- fort came from the stunning results China and South Korea had already achieved.
