One way or the other NASA wants to get back into space, so what are the brains at NASA planning? NASA is planning one-way tickets to Mars for volunteers. 2030 launch date ahead.
I say: What?
NASA say: Humans could be sent to the red planet on an one-way ticket as part of the NASA master plan to permanently colonize Mars and then other planets?
World scientists have released on to the Internet and to the world, images from 13,l billion years ago -- Images of an ancient galaxy, the oldest and the most distant object in the universe, known to human observers. See the video.
Why is this worth mentioning? Why are these images so wonderful and good to see?
Borrowing a word from Mr. Spock, the images are "fascinating."
Why?
Because for what they reveal, and more important, for what they imply, which is mind expanding.;
This is "a very big deal," Virgin president Sir Richard Branson told The Associated Press. "There are a number of big deals on the way to getting commercial space travel becoming a reality. This was a very big step. We now know that the spaceship glides. We know it can be dropped safely from the mothership and we know it can land safely. That's three big ticks."
I can't resist alleged UFO videos, especially when they appear on major network news shows. Yesterday, Monday, on NBC's Today Show, host Dara Brown did a feature on an unidentified flying object caught on camera whizzing across the sky in Cumbria,England. Of course, she asked the question, "Is it a UFO?" NBC isn't going on record, suggesting: Holy Moses, UFOs! There might be something to UFOs, really!
Ms Brown spoke with UFO author, blogger, and expert Pat Regan who says the sighting could be either a secret military project or alien visitors.
Item from the Associated Press -- "A team of planet-hunting scientists say they've discovered a planet 20 light years from earth that could be the most earth-like body ever found."
What does this mean? Newly discovered planet may be habitable? Well, the dudes who should know, the scientist, right, are hinting that this new planet is just right for life?
A survey, reported in yesterday's, (Tuesday), edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, of "50,000 Americans conducted in 2008 and 2009 for the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index that included questions on people's day-to-day happiness and their overall life satisfaction, (concluded) that Happiness got better as income rose but the effect leveled out at $75,000.. Their overall sense of success or well-being continued to rise as their earnings grew beyond that point."
But $75K is the happiness point, below that we're all miserable?
Yup. Discovered just a few days ago.
What else would they tell us? I don't ever expect to see a bulletin like this: 'Issuing non-bulletins from an abandon mine shaft, NASA brass have no comment on that giant shadow covering our planet earth.'
The AP item concludes -- "Asteroid 2010 RX30, thought to be 32 to 65 feet long, will pass within 154,000 miles of Earth shortly before 3 a.m. PDT Wednesday. The second one, dubbed 2010 RF12, will fly by about 11 hours later at a distance of about 49,000 miles. NASA says the second one is 20 to 46 feet long."
Huh, huh.
