Morning guys. Haven't been on for a while, busy with work and back treatment several times a week. Its a long road to recovery and still a good possibility I'll need surgery.

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan

OK DOOM on DOOM...WW3 or not.....
THIS IS MESSED UP!

Russia’s Security Council is reportedly considering a ban on supplying the US with powerful RD-180 rocket engines for military communications satellites as Russia focuses on building its own new space launch center, Vostochny, in the Far East.

A ban on the rockets supply to the US heavy booster, Atlas V, which delivers weighty military communications satellites and deep space exploration vehicles into orbit, could impact NASA’s space programs – not just military satellite launches.
 Quoting: [link to rt.com]


so if things are not bad enough with budget cuts.....even if there is funding for new sat's....and this ban goes through, which if this war does start it most likely will,.....we can't get shit up any more.

shame any young one wanting to go into a space program will need to learn russian or chinese.

Coming Nov. 13-14, 2013....

The GREAT NORTH AMERICAN POWER GRID TAKE-DOWN DRILL-
Although solar activity is not mentioned, this subject has been of much interest to GLP SOLAR-WATCHers. The NERC (North American Electrical Reliability Corporation), FEMA, FBI, Booz Allen Hamilton and other suspicious entities are involved....let's hope it's only a 'drill'.

GridEx 2013 NERC page:
[link to www.nerc.com]

Role Players/Descriptions pdf.:
[link to www.signup4.net (secure)]

From the NY Times:

WASHINGTON — The electric grid, as government and private experts describe it, is the glass jaw of American industry. If an adversary lands a knockout blow, they fear, it could black out vast areas of the continent for weeks; interrupt supplies of water, gasoline, diesel fuel and fresh food; shut down communications; and create disruptions of a scale that was only hinted at by Hurricane Sandy and the attacks of Sept. 11.

This is why thousands of utility workers, business executives, National Guard officers, F.B.I. antiterrorism experts and officials from government agencies in the United States, Canada and Mexico are preparing for an emergency drill in November that will simulate physical attacks and cyberattacks that could take down large sections of the power grid.

They will practice for a crisis unlike anything the real grid has ever seen, and more than 150 companies and organizations have signed up to participate.

OK, so the USA can't put up any astronauts or even feed the ones on the ISS anymore; but big rockets we still have. This story is dated TODAY-

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE (CBSLA.com) — The largest rocket ever to be launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base had a succesful lift-off Wednesday.

The Delta IV Heavy rocket was launched with a $1 billion spy satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) “in support of national defense,”
according to aerospace engineering firm United Launch Alliance (ULA).Once it reaches orbit in about two days, the classified payload is expected to be able to distinguish details back on Earth as minute as the make and model of an automobile.
[link to losangeles.cbslocal.com]

No sequestration woes for the spymasters at NRO, no, siree. And don't believe that garbage about identifying automobiles (they could do that in the 1970's); maybe now they can read the VIN Numbers, LOL.

The Delta IV is a huge rocket though, and the engines are American-made!-

In 2002 the RS-68 became the first large, liquid-fueled rocket engine designed in the U.S. since the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME) in the 1970s.[6] The primary goal for the RS-68 was to reduce cost versus the SSME. Some sacrifice in chamber pressure and specific impulse was made, hurting efficiency; however, development time, part count, total cost, and assembly labor were reduced to a fraction of the SSME, despite the RS-68's significantly larger size.

At over 63 meters in length, the Delta IV has been the tallest rocket in active use since its first launch in 2002; it is taller than the Ariane 4, Titan IV, Atlas V, Ariane 5, Long March 5, Proton rocket, Energia, LGM-118 Peacekeeper, and Space Shuttle.

this was the first and only successful launch of that rocket since it was shelved after issues and cost concerns...cost is still off the charts and the atlas V is the US's work horse.
we will just have to see moving on.

all that being said it is still Russia, China, and France who run much of the space launches today.
growing up in the 60's this is still very saddening to see NASA no longer at the top of space exploration.

if we could just get everyone to stop wasting time and money building rockets to deliver bombs to kill each other.

Has anyone noticed that in the last few days, the summaries, forecasts and alerts from NOAA/NASA are delayed by as much as a day and even missing at times?

I was looking at the rsga.txt file and in the last few days it was missing whole parts of its structure (the forecasts). Today it has info that is 36 hours late... So I was just wondering if they have some issues or something? cool2
