  About movies, or books etc...
  ever wondered whether alot of the sci-fi stuff that does come out about aliens and different ancient alien races are to get everyone use too it? so that once the day does come, we'll all have an idea and "hopefolly" wont be afraid and unpredicatable as people think could happen if such information were to be available?

  You have to remember though that no everyone reads these books and watches these movies. Most of the ones that read and watch Science fiction on a regular basis are already and have been ready to accept alien visitation for some time. When and if disclosure ever comes, there will still be alot of people who don't read or watch sci-fi that are not ready.

  The story bears similarities to the real-life Apollo program:
  * Verne's cannon was named the Columbiad; the Apollo 11 command module was named Columbia.
  * The spacecraft crew consisted of three persons in each case.
  * The physical dimensions of the projectile are very close to the dimensions of the Apollo CSM.
  * Verne's voyage blasted off from Florida, as did all Apollo missions. (Verne correctly states in the book that objects launch into space most easily if they are launched from the earth's equator. In the book Florida and Texas compete for the launch, with Florida winning.)
  Would it be at all appropriate, in this discussion, to postulate?
  'Stargates', unless I am missing the premise utilizing that stalwart of Science Fiction, the 'wormhole', in order to explain the ability to transport equipment and personnel over distances of dozens, even hundreds of light-years (as WE Humans define Galactic distances) use an unyet-known method to achieve their designed functions.
  Co-incidentally, the iconic 'Star Trek' franchise also uses a 'writer's device' to help a script move along....it is known as the 'Transporter'....the concept being it can, using quantum physics that we do not, yet, fully comprehend, break down into component parts and 'beam' equipment and personnel, and re-create them at the destination.
  As a fully-functional, thinking adult Human....I enjoy the occasional escapism provided by such entertainment, as provided by Hollywood.
  I will submit MY opinion....the concept of the 'StarGate' is just as valid as the concept of the 'Transporter'...given enough time to develop the associated technologies.
  However.....(there's always a 'but')....BOTH concepts are on shaky 'legs', at least as we understand Physics at this time. Yet, I enjoy the concept, and hope that the simple IDEA of such machines may lead to someone actually inventing them, someday!!!

  The StarTrek transporter is actually in developement.
  Here is an old web article.
  If they ever get it to work with people, this could be our own way of creating a modern Star Gate, or at least disclosure that we already have been using them.

  Way back in 1969 I read a copy of Scientific American... there was a small article in it about transporters. Apparently they had set up two huge rooms with machinery and transported an ashtray...
  Then in 1972ish there was an even smaller article that said they tried it with a mouse, but the mouse died...
  I have since tried to find those articles, but never had the time to go search all the old magazines yet. I couldn't find anything online... until you posted this link.
  Thanks for reminding me to hunt again...
  Either that or we jumped time lines and it wasn't written in this one

  What's really weird is the actual possiblity of the technonogy that might lead to a 'transporter' ala "Star Trek" style!!!
  Some programs I've watched, on Scientific Channels on the DISH Network....have promulgated the notion of a possible transferrance of information, 'Faster-Than-Light', via the weirdness of Quantum Theory.
  Some Scientists have actually seen an effect that belies rationality, as we know it!
  This involves particles that, regardless of their actual distance form each other, seem to communicate and react together, as if they are ONE....even though they are apart. AND, the 'speed of light' is not a factor in how they interact....
