First meteor shower of 2012 comes next week
« on: December 28, 2011, 10:48:30 PM »

In 2011, most of the best meteor showers occurred when the moon was close to full. This natural "light pollution" made the fainter meteors impossible to see.

But 2012 starts out with a fine meteor shower, the Quadrantids, with absolutely no moon to interfere with the viewing. The Quadrantid meteor shower will peak on Jan. 4 at about 2 a.m. EST (0700 GMT).

Twin probes to circle moon to study gravity field
« on: December 26, 2011, 07:15:12 PM »


Over the New Year's weekend, a pair of spacecraft the size of washing machines are set to enter orbit around it in the latest lunar mission. Their job is to measure the uneven gravity field and determine what lies beneath — straight down to the core.

NASA's twin moon probes to enter orbit this weekend


A pair of NASA spacecraft is getting set to orbit the moon this weekend, a move that will kick off the probes' effort to study Earth's nearest neighbor from crust to core.

NASA's twin Grail spacecraft are slated to start circling the moon one day apart, with Grail-A arriving on Saturday and Grail-B following on Sunday. The two probes will then fly around the moon in tandem, mapping the lunar gravity field in unprecedented detail and helping scientists better understand how the moon formed and evolved.

"This mission will rewrite the textbooks on the evolution of the moon," Grail principal investigator Maria Zuber, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said in a statement

Russian rocket launches 6 satellites into space
« on: December 28, 2011, 06:36:02 PM »


A Russian Soyuz rocket launched a pack of communications satellites into orbit Wednesday (Dec. 28) in a successful flight that comes less than a week after a similar rocket crashed somewhere in Siberia.

The Soyuz 2 rocket launched six new satellites for Louisiana-based communications provider Globalstar at 12:09 p.m. EST (1709 GMT) in an apparently smooth liftoff from the snow-covered central Asian spaceport of Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

So they don't know where it crashed.

They are not sure on the size of the quake or depth..

New oil?
« on: December 24, 2011, 06:48:33 AM »



Craig Venter is currently working with the folks at Exxon, and they are funding a new program to the tune of $600million.
It involves the genetic mutation and re-engineering of algaes to ingest and absorb C02, and create a viable biofuel.

He's already done this you may say, with BP and the whole synthia/GoM/corexit thing.

Nope, this is new, and he is making a massive investment of his own in this venture, not seeing a penny of return for at least 10 years.

On the face of it, it looks like more of the same frankenstein bio engineering he is famed for. But think about it a bit more. We apparently have large amounts of C02 that are doing us harm at present. We also have a finite resource, oil, that is needed more and more and will ultimately become more expensive.

[personally I believe it is abiotic, and cant run out. However it can be depleted faster than it can be replenished.]

So, we have all these agressive tactics around the world, that are purely designed to guarantee energy, and nearly all political agendas are based around this fact.

If this works, and algae can indeed be used to remove C02 and create biofuels, in large proportions, with no more input than a body of water and the sun, then imagine the immediate change in the political and military agenda.

The mindset will change from a defender and collector of a finite resource to simply a user of an infinite and clean resource.
The green movement has been one of the most influential and successful impacts on modern politics, over just about any other agenda. Theyuse terms like sustainability, environment and long term survival to describe and offset many political decisions. So with that basic need for energy fullfilled, and the green movement no longer attacking, but agreeing and complementing the new energy resource, which btw will require no change of existing industrial infrastructure, what will their new charge be? What will the politicians be able to use as veiled taunts of apocaliptic outcomes should their policies not be followed? I think they'll be stuffed! And shown up for what they are.

And with Mr Average Joe being able to set up such a plant (pun) in his own back yard or roof, then the distribution issue will also be lessened.

Indeed, not relying on certain countries to produce oil, and other countries to refine and distribute it, will change the dynamics of the planet. Why would we need such large armies to defend the black stuff?

Anyway, just a thought I had regarding an idea that I think Six String Woodie originally proposed about the GoM being made in to a giant algae farm. It would still involve shutting off the in and out of the GoM, but that kind of engineering isnt too hard given what they have engineered around the world under the guise of natural earth quakes and the like...

Maybe we've go this Venter guy all wrong?

Japan’s March 11 Earthquake Almost Shook Space: Study
« on: August 08, 2011, 01:30:14 PM »



Vibrations from the devastating earthquake that hit Japan in March 2011, which triggered a massive tsunami, had almost reached the outer space, a new study has revealed.

According to the atmosphere-vibrations study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research, the vibrations from Japan quake and tsunami waves traveled towards upper atmosphere, the ionosphere, where they were amplified to thousands of times their original sizes, the National Geographic News reported.

The velocity and the magnitude of the atmospheric disturbance have not yet been revealed but March 11 earthquake and the following tsunami caused the biggest such phenomenon ever, researchers said.

Such a trend has also been observed during other massive earthquakes in the world.

On December 26, 2004, the 9.3 magnitude Sumatra earthquake and tsunami in the Indian Ocean had excited “giant” disturbances in the ionosphere, according to the journal’s report in 2006.

the vibrations caused the earthquake and the tsunami.. it has been an elf (extreme low frequency) attack.
Better known as HAARP. Stationary huge plants are no longer needet for it.
Hours bevore scientists recognised warming in the atmosphere in that region.

Nuclear plant leak in Antarctica suspected of causing cancer

Nuclear plant leak in Antarctica suspected of causing cancer
Posted on March 5, 2011 by Rick Spilman (Thanks to Phil Leon for passing the articles along.)


Reports are surfacing of Navy veterans contracting cancer after serving at the McMurdo Station in Antarctica when the station was powered by a problem-prone nuclear power plant.

Nuclear plant leak in Antarctica suspected of causing cancer

Charlie Swinney died one year ago from cancer that ravaged his body for more than a decade, but the Navy veteran may have left behind an important clue into what caused his death.

Our exclusive investigation uncovered multiple letters that Swinney sent to the U.S. Veterans Administration describing a nuclear plant that was built at a base he served at in Antarctica.

The McMurdo Nuclear plant was built in Antarctica in the early 1960s and provided power to the base until it was shut down in 1972. Swinney and an estimated 15,000 other veterans served at McMurdo Station as part of a support team throughout the plant’s operation.

The Navy’s final operating report found the plant had 438 malfunctions over its history, including leaking water surrounding the reactor and hairline cracks in the reactor liner as early as 1964.


As noted by an article in Wired Magazine: While the idea of placing a nuclear plant in such an ecologically sensitive location may seem like madness today, in the pre-Chernobyl, pre–Three Mile Island world of 1962, nuclear power was seen as a cost-effective, efficient and relatively safe way of providing power to permanent Antarctic research stations.

From 1962 to 1972, power fro electricity and water distillation was supplied by a PM-3A nuclear reactor. The reactor not perform to specifications and was powered by strontium-90 pellets, a particularly dangerous fuel because of its high radioactivity before entering the nuclear core. The reactor was shut down in 1972 after a leak in the reactor’s pressure vessel was discovered during a routine inspection. The reactor and 7700 cubic metres of irradiated rock and dirt was shipped to California for disposal.

Navy Veterans Diagnosed with Cancer After Antarctica Mission

“The first thing the doctors asked me was, well, that’s the type of cancer you typically get from exposure from radiation,” Bob Boyles of North Carolina said.

The Navy’s final operating report, obtained by Action 2 News, shows a history of repeated problems — 438 malfunctions at the nuclear power plant between 1964 and 1972, including “hairline cracks” and leaking water near the reactor. What finally forced the Navy to shut it down was the possibility of stress corrosion cracking in the piping. Yet the report concludes “no significant increase” in radiation exposure, which the Navy maintains today.

“It’s been peculiar because all these people are saying, OK, now I’ve got cancer. Why is it such a high density of people in such a small group?” Chock said. In remission from testicular cancer, as Chock said, he’s one of the lucky ones.

Charlie Swinney, from Ohio, died last year after battling cancer for 16 years. ”He had over 200 tumors in his body. He was just filled at that point.” his widow, Elaine Swinney, said. Swinney was denied VA benefits, leaving his family bankrupt. ”He felt like it was kicked to the curb. He felt like he didn’t count,” Mrs. Swinney said.

Our investigation shows the Swinneys weren’t alone. Before dying, in 2002 Karl Sackman, from Idaho, wrote the VA saying, “It was common knowledge, among the troops, that leaks from the facilities occurred in the 1960s.” The VA denied him, saying his cancer wasn’t related to his service at McMurdo Station. Boyles was denied, too.

Some comments on this -

Chief says:

I served in Summer Support in Antarctica for three Austral summers. I reported to the command in Davisville, RI in June of 1973. I was the Leading Chief of the Electronics Shop on the hill in McMurdo.

One factual error was that the reactor was not shut down in 1972. The crack in the containment vessel was discovered in either June or July of 1973.

Second factual error was an incomplete statement. In conforming to the requirements of the Antarctic Treaty, of which the United States was a signatory, all irradiated surface material had to be removed from the continent. This material was taken to California to be deposited at the naval base at Port Hueneme. The state of California would not let the Navy off-load the irradiated volcanic material. The ship finally off-loaded the cargo at the Savannah River Plant near Aiken, South Carolina.

My email is: [email protected] I’ll answer any question that I can.

BTW – I knew Charlie Swinney. He was a loadmaster on C-130 type aircraft.

I was not even aware there was EVER a nuke reactor in Antarctica. What were they thinking!!!! I nwas tempted to place this in BEZERK, as it might be another reason the men are getting sick, like the French submariners, but will leave that up to the boss. The video opens with "It's called OPERATION DEEP FREEZE".
