Coming to a theater near you: "GUTH Venus"

At a mere 0.271AU, and that's real close. In fact, from Earth's L1, Venus will become 6.5% the diameter of the sun and, all that's about to happen towards the end of October 2002.

I've had several asking as how specifically to create a sufficient CW light emitting source by utilizing their telescope. A powerful laser would obviously have been be great, however, getting our hands on several or even one will be unlikely but not impossible. So, converting your telescope into something nearly as bright by utilizing a 1kw gas projection lamp, along with the required CW driver circuitry, should do just fine, as we'll simply need a lot more of them in order to accomplish what otherwise one "Star Wars" laser could do.

NASA has been a little too occupied with all sorts of "damage control" issues to even bother with this opportunity. However, their loss can become our gain, so have at it and, keep me advised as to your design progress, as I'll post your project and insure that you receive whatever credits, including sufficient funding that should eventually more then compensate for all your efforts.

My "first contact" effort or challenge is coming up this October 2002 and, you're all invited to join in and to work towards the worthy goal of achieving "first contact".

By the way; From the liquidation of some of NASA's secret holdings (somewhat like those of ENRON), there are truly big bucks available here, just waiting to be taken by the first few that manage to achieve "first contact" and, Venus will be so damn close that just applying solar reflecting mirrors could do the trick.

Remember; we all need to be linked so that the messages are thoroughly unanimous, as well as the dwell necessary for receiving any reply.

Thanks much, Brad Guth / IEIS 1-253-8576061
