Contact Report 224 Translation

| Billy: We've spoken already once about this, that the Earthlings, in addition to the Hubble space telescope, will send another into the sky that's much bigger. | Billy: Wir sprachen schon mal darüber, dass die Erdlinge nebst dem Hubble-Weltraum-teleskop noch eines in den Himmel schicken wollen, das viel grösser sei. |
| Can you explain something more about that? | Kannst du da noch etwas dazu erklären? |
| Quetzal: 12. Always presuming that the concerned Terrestrial technology develops further in this context, and the still coming plans actually would be realised, then, in about the year 2025, a gigantic laser space telescope, made of many parts, will be brought into a stationary Earth orbit, that primarily will serve in the discovery of planets in foreign solar systems, for which reason it will also be named The Planet Seeker. | Quetzal: 12. Immer vorausgesetzt, dass sich die diesbezügliche irdische Technik im gegebenen Rahmen weiterentwickelt und die noch kommenden Pläne tatsächlich verwirklicht werden, dann wird ca. im Jahre 2025 ein riesenhaftes und mehrteiliges Laser-Weltraumteleskop in eine stationäre Erdumlaufbahn gebracht, das hauptsächlich zur Auffindung von Planeten in fremden Sonnensystemen dienen soll, weshalb es dann auch Planetensucher genannt werden wird. |
| 13. This would be so, along with other projects of a similar type that would, however, indeed find their fulfillment earlier. | 13. Dies wird so sein nebst anderen Projekten ähnlicher Art, die jedoch schon früher ihre Erfüllung finden sollen. |
Translator's Notes
- These starlight interferometers are not to be confused with the (secret) longitudinally polarized electromagnetic interferometers largely responsible for the raging World Weatherwar.
- Such is the incredibly broad subject matter discussed by these two men that trying to decide what to relay first to the world of people who are unfamiliar with the German language is difficult and often bizarre. As a good example, in the short space omitted between the above two subjects, Quetzal mentions that our planet’s finite reserves of oil will be gone in 70 years (from 1987).
