mars by 2033 A Mandate For Humanity Both chambers of Congress just passed the NASA Authorization Act of 2017. With this transformative development, the space agency got a lot more than just $19.508 billion in funding. They also got a very clear mandate: Get humanity to Mars. To be clear, Mars has been in the works for some time; however, the 2017 Act places a strong emphasis on this goal, making it the focal point of NASA’s long-term plans. In the document, congress asserts that the space agency is to get humans “near or on the surface of Mars in the 2030s.”

Dead Men Tell No Tales: Charlie Hebdo Suspects Allegedly Killed Time for the corporate media to tweak the storyline Kurt Nimmo Prison Planet.com January 9, 2015 The corporate media is reporting that police have raided a printing plant northeast of Paris and killed the Charlie Hebdo shooting suspects.

Space submarines will allow us to explore the seas of icy moons One of the most profound and exciting breakthroughs in planetary science in the last two decades has been the discovery of liquid methane lakes on the surface of Saturn’s largest moon Titan, and liquid oceans under the icy surfaces of many of the giant gas planets’ other moons. Thrillingly, these some of these “waters” may actually harbour life. Unfortunately, we don’t know much about them. Probes such as Juno and Cassini can only get so close. Also, subsurface oceans can only be sensed indirectly. The European Space Agency’s Huygens probe did land on Titan in 2005, but on a solid surface rather than on liquid.

Where’s The Blood? Evidence Shows Paris Shooting May Have Been A Hoax They say that when you see a big story in the media, look for the story they are trying to distract you from. The big story was an attack on a French satire magazine by Islamic extremists that killed 12 people. But some truth seekers around the web are asking valid questions about what appears to be a terrorist attack. For example, where was the blood? According to the video posted below, the shooter was shot at very close range.

Thank You, Houston: Unsung Heroes Star in New 'Mission Control' Doc A riveting new documentary about NASA's journey to the moon pays tribute to the many behind-the-scenes heroes of the Apollo program. "Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo," which hits movie theaters today (April 14), tells the story of the men whose strenuous work put the first astronauts on the moon and launched a new era of human spaceflight. Along with plenty of archival NASA videos and photos, the documentary features several of the original flight-control staff who worked in the Manned Spacecraft Center (later renamed the Christopher C. Kraft Jr.

It's Time for a 21st-Century Anti-Lynching Movement Black women have made connections between their struggles and those of black men since the 1800s. Although African-Americans have made unprecedented progress in terms of politics, business and access to elite institutions, other developments suggest that something else is going on. Voting rights are being curtailed, communities are deteriorating, and incarcerations for minor and even fabricated criminal charges are on the rise.

Big Peanut-Shaped Asteroid Caught on Radar as It Zooms by Earth (Video) An asteroid that zoomed by Earth today (April 19) at less than five times the distance between the Earth and the moon has been caught on radar. The new images, which were taken yesterday (April 18), capture features on the near-Earth asteroid 2014 JO25 as small as 25 feet (7.5 meters) across, scientists said. The photos — which were combined to make this video of asteroid 2014 JO25 — reveal that the space rock rotates once every 5 hours and has a peanut-like structure, with the larger of the two lobes about 2,000 feet (620 m) wide. "The asteroid has a contact binary structure — two lobes connected by a neck-like region," Shantanu Naidu, a scientist from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, who led the observations, said in a statement. "The images show flat facets, concavities and angular topography."

PARIS INSIDE JOB; JE SUIS CIA LIE Anonymous writes: "The head of MI5, Parker, is a Jew... And now it is known that his equivalent in France is also a Jew. Ditto the Danish version. Then there are Kitteridge and Fletcher in NZ BOTH Jews." Death by Asteroid: The Most Likely Ways for a Space Rock to Kill You If you live in fear of an asteroid strike, here's some detail to help flesh out your nightmares. A killer space rock is most likely to get you via violent winds that fling you against something hard or powerful shock waves that rupture your internal organs, according to a new study. "This is the first study that looks at all seven impact effects generated by hazardous asteroids and estimates which are, in terms of human loss, most severe," lead author Clemens Rumpf, a senior research assistant at the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom, said in a statement.
