They are not sure whether it is a computer glitch or the actual hardware. Have you seen the movie Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks. If not, its so worth seeing, because a similar situation happens in the movie, where they shuttle develops problems & there are 3 astronauts on board. They were on a mission to mars to rescue a previous team that got trapped there. Wow....reading about the ISS is like a deja-vue from that movie. Are you combining Apollo 13 and Mission to mars? |

I like to think that they are trolling, or just getting attention from their comments. But really when you say such stupid shit, it's... un-nerving that people stoop that low for attention. If they really *are* that dumb, then  And it really is an attention thing. Mommy and Daddy (if they do indeed have a father and know who the man is) decided they wanted to be friends with their kids instead of parents.  I know a few people like that.A flag flown upside down is a symbol of a country in distress. As a result of the many traitors and enemies inside our own government and the many unconstitutional acts, legislation and atrocities passed and/or committed against our lives, liberty and property, as well as a reckless foreign policy meant to enrich and empower an already wealthy group of 'elites' while wreaking havoc around the globe and committing atrocities against large numbers of innocent peoples in the name of 'spreading democracy', the United States is no longer a free country and the lives of its citizens as well as the lives of our brothers and sisters around the globe, are in dire danger and distress. |

You could also throw in horoscopes, seances, and so-called "white magic." ==================================================== "Remote viewing is just as dangerous as the Ouija Board. Both can lead to demonic possession and both are considered a form of divination, which was condemned in the Old and New Testaments. In both cases, the participant attempts to communicate with demons in order to determine information "at a distance" in the present or to predict future events (demons do not know the future but can make highly intelligent predictions based on the information they observe across the Universe at the present). I would stay away from either of these practices. They are highly destructive." |

Watch the movie. Quoting: saffire&gold Is this in a timeline with the Walker Brothers (looks hopeful). Apollo 13 was a mission to the moon in this continuum. I wonder if the Russians will have to pull out one of their cool shuttles to ride up and save everyone? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 2712120 United States12/11/2013 07:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He predicted through "military trained" remote viewers "saw" problems with a shuttle type craft being forced back down to earth due to some technical problems as a pre-cursor event leading up to the "kill shot". Let's hope not eh? Nice find DL! Hi everyone. The ISS is not a shuttle like craft. The GOCE was the shuttle like craft, already confirmed last month by Undergranite from RvCommunity, who is one of Ed Dames remote viewers, and was confirmed by multiple viewers who work with Dames. The GOCE looks like a shuttle, the ISS does not. The GOCE came down at the same time that the Taurids meteor shower peaked. See here: "For what it's worth, our postulate is the GOCE satellite event concurrent with Taurids. Our targeting stratagem in Spring of 2013 was to define the primary objective of the space vehicle in question. We had repeated returns of "mapping gravity." This was several months prior to September 2013 and the news of GOCE running out of fuel with return to Earth in November 2013. Other satellite / space vehicles of course cannot be ruled out (we've had plans to look at the primary objective of X37B but have simply run out of time). In short, we're sticking with GOCE and the Taurids as the ensemble of data fitting the final observable event prior to commencement of Solar Expulsion Sequence (geoeffective). DPRK (Sino/Russian alliance) utilizes the opening salvos of solar expulsion sequence as combat multiplier with resulting "nuke event" on Korean Peninsula occurring within parameters of solar sequence.

Farewell." >> that was posted at: [link to www.rvcommunity.net] Killshot can happen in days, weeks, or months, but we're all set How would the Astronauts return to Earth, in an emergency situation? I'm talking about something other than the ISS falling back to Earth. I imagine Russia, or China can send a ship up there to bring them down. |

| Sarah Conner User ID: 50690143 United States12/11/2013 07:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Don't panic. This from NBC "The crew was never in any danger," he said. "They're fine for the near future." The problem is one of the "Big 14" maintenance issues that NASA and its partners expect to face on an occasional basis during space station operations. "This is the kind of thing that they expected to happen, at about the expected rate," NBC News space analyst James Oberg said. Shutdown mode One of the station's two external cooling loops, known as Loop-A, shut down when it reached a pre-set temperature limit on Wednesday, Byerly told NBC News. That forced NASA to reroute coolant into Loop-B. As a result, the station's six-person crew had to prioritize life support systems, electrical systems and science experiments — including the freezers that preserve scientific samples. Some non-critical systems were turned off in the station's U.S-built Harmony node, the Japanese Kibo lab and the European Columbus lab. The crew "worked to keep the freezers going," Byerly said. Engineers think the problem was caused by a malfunctioning flow control valve for the station's ammonia coolant."  |
