ANN: #FujiNet ISS Tracker for #ColecoAdam

[tschak909]

The #FujiNet iss-tracker for #ColecoAdam has been released onto adam-apps.irata.online TNFS, in the Displays/ folder. Code is here: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-apps/tree/master/iss-tracker/adam and is a good example of how to use the built in JSON parser.

I am running this on my Adam.  Awesome

This video shows how I brought in a stock image of a world map, and processed it to be shown on a #ColecoAdam, which uses a TMS 9918 VDP, for the #FujiNet ISS Tracker application. #retrocomputing

The 1983 Coleco ADAM is more powerful then the Apollo Guidance computer. Someone should make a fictional movie about someone making a homebrew spaceship that uses the 1983 Coleco ADAM to navigate to the Moon.

An Ethernet Cable should be run to the moon and that way you could have “a 100% 1GB home network and offering 1,000MB ethernet”… on the moon! ?

If the human race has two underground cities on the Moon one day, super fast Internet would be possible between the Internet servers in those cities using high speed underground fiber on the Moon. However, its not technically possible to have any type of optical fiber cable, Ethernet cable, or any other type of cable between the earth and Moon. So, to reach the Internet websites on the earth, wireless Internet would need to be used with high 3,000ms latency in one direction. That would be the slow part of the Internet connection when someone has to access a website on earth, or someone on earth accessing a Moon based website would experience a slower connection because of wireless over great distances. But at least with advances in wireless satellite Internet technology the fiber Internet provider between the two or more cities on the Moon, could link up a stationary dish to an Internet satellites that orbits the Moon and transmit the Internet communication to earth base dish’s or orbiting satellites. If one day there are cities on the Moon, then there would need to be GPS based navigation satellites orbiting the Moon so consumers can use their Garmin’s when driving around in their Moon style car exploring the Moon. The Moon has gravity but it’s much weaker than the earth’s gravity. But having some gravity would be healthier for humans and animals versus the existing space station that has no gravity. Also, human spaceships that are affected by gravity and use rocket based compulsion system would save a lot of fuel if launched from the Moons orbit (or little more fuel used from the Moons surface).  

 

Future generations will find out if one day underground cities on the Moon become a reality. There are many advantages for underground cities on the Moon versus above ground cities on the Moon. An atmosphere leak in the city would be minor if the city is underground when compared to above ground cities. Also, underground cities protect one from very small asteroids and other space objects hitting the surface of the Moon. Before humans traveled to the Moon in the late 60’s, some people in the early 20th Century had theories that there was life on the Moon, however most likely absolutely no life exists on the Moon. Possible future humans from earth colonizing the Moon would bring life to the Moon for the very first time along with maybe a pet dog or cat (but studies would need to be done regarding the long term positive or negative effects of a lower gravity on humans and animals. A government policy might need to be put in place that only adult full grown humans and animals are allowed on the Moon, and any reproduction of humans and animals be done on earth if scientist discover the Moon's weaker gravity has a negative effect on humans and animals that have not reached adult form yet). The Moon’s surface area is close to five times the surface area of Australia. The Moon is 37.94 million square kilometers.
