Re: Alert!!!!!!!! cluster of asteroids beginning to appear!
DOUBLE ASTEROID FLYBY: It's a cosmic coincidence. Two asteroids, each about 10 to 15 meters wide, will fly past Earth within hours of one another on Sept. 8th.
Although both are coming inside the orbit of the Moon, there is no danger of impact.
At closest approach, 2010 RF12 will be 77,000 km (0.2 LD) away; 2010 RX30 will be even farther at 231,000 km (0.6 LD).

That's a understatement. We are all going to die horribly is more accurate.



I prefer a direct hit on my head..


I prefer a direct hit on your head too.



In that case the horrible death is yours.

tounge


yeah imagine the pain as the tip of the fuckersmashes your face in an instant as you look up chances are your hair and face will melt prior to any impact on your body...wow the agony if only fleeting..would your brain have the chance to register the pain before the death point..also if you were beating off and about to blow your load could the pain be reverted to an intense orgasm...hmmm if i see an asteroid im gonna start pullin my pud...you betcha!


the real question here is: would you rather be eaten alive by rats or get sanded down to death from your feet up.

just imagine sand paper scrubbing away your flesh until you die. or rats eating your eyeballs as you scream like a little btch.

death by snoo snoo?

Is this because the rats might go mad before an asteroid impact do they have a plan..and the sand paper bit ..dont think this will happen as a naturally occuring event...dont tell me it says about it in the bible...anyway have you ever tried sanding a tomatoe...it gets very messy...people arnt made of wood and therefore this sand paper lark dosnt seem ethical or reasonable in the present reality...

Re: Alert!!!!!!!! cluster of asteroids beginning to appear!
This is my personal opinion on why the asteroids...

I think we are beginning to see the "space debris" that is being pushed at the head of the Galactic Wave.
It will push all kinds of stuff into out Solar System...asteroids included.

About the Air Force having some sort of "vehicle" to try and take these things out....
I do believe that they have been working on this for the past several years.
My ex-Father-in Law is a private contractor for the Air Force, and when he came in 2004 to see us.....he said he was working on some sort of "vehicle".
He wouldn't tell us specifics about the project, because it was Classified/Top Secret.
He informed us we were fully investigated before he was allowed to come for the visit, because of the sensitivity of what he was working on.
Just after he told us he had to return early, to be available for some "announcement"...there was a News story about some sort of Space thing.
I felt that that was the reason he had to be back, the project he was working on, why all the secrecy, and us being investigated.
It was some sort of vehicle that had lazer capabilities, or something like that.
Anyway, I think I was too close to the truth, because when I posted my feelings about his visit on a forum I frequented ( Psychic Prediction Board), I suddenly started having problems posting there.
Computers fried out, 3 in a row!.....then even though I had an account, it would still block me out, and keep me from posting.
I still cannot get back into that forum, 5 years later...

So, I have no doubt that THEY have known about the approaching event, and have been trying to come up with some sort of defense against the debris that is going to be pushed in at the head of that Galactic Wave...but I also don't think that their 'solution' is going to work very well.
I think it's going to be hit with an energy force that Science cannot even comprehend, let alone be able to deflect it enough for the 'vehicle' to be able to stay in orbit to accomplish it's mission.

I begin to think the Norway Spiral was a Test for a Technology, like a Microwave Cannon to destroy Asteroids, the Light Beam was Northern Lights like and you could think the Spiral was created by a certain Wavelength (think of the grains of sand structures controlled by soundwaves in different frequencies).

Secret X-37B Space Plane Has Changed Orbit
By Leonard David
SPACE.com's Space Insider Columnist
posted: 24 August 2010
12:57 am ET

The U.S. Air Force's secretive X-37B space plane apparently boosted itself into a new orbit Aug. 9, according to reports from seasoned satellite trackers around the world, SPACE.com has learned.

The orbit-raising maneuver was first noticed Aug. 14 by amateur skywatcher Greg Roberts of Cape Town, South Africa, when the object failed to appear as predicted by the last known orbit. After several nights of searching, Roberts found it again on Aug. 19, which enabled the new orbit to be estimated with sufficient accuracy to easily locate the X-37B space plane on subsequent nights.

That detective work led to other sky-sleuthing detections by Alberto Rango in Rome and Brad Young in Tulsa, Okla. Their sharp-eyed skills were essential in refining the calculation of the space plane's new orbit and confidently determining the circumstances of the orbit-raising maneuvers. [Photos of the X-37B space plane.]

www.bol.com/Gedichten-LiefdeAlso called the Orbital Test Vehicle-1 (OTV-1), the hush-hush X-37B — a robotic reusable spacecraft — was launched April 22 atop an Atlas 5 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla. From that point onward, mum has been the word about what it's up to.

Air Force officials have said only that the winged spacecraft is undergoing planned mission tests.

"Following the successful launch and initialization, the first flight of the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV-1) continues to focus on checking out the on-orbit performance of the vehicle and proving the technologies required for long-duration, reusable space vehicles with autonomous re-entry and landing capabilities," Air Force spokesman Andy Roake told SPACE.com in a statement.

The X-37B had circled Earth for 123 days as of Monday. Air Force officials have said the unmanned spacecraft could stay in orbit for around 270 days.

This week the space plane is expected to fly over many North American cities and towns, according to the satellite-watching website Spaceweather.com. Skywatchers who know where to look using telescopes have a chance to see the X-37B space plane, weather permitting.

A key team member of the amateur network and an eyes-glued observer and analyst of X-37B's flight is Ted Molczan of Toronto.

Molczan is part of the amateur skywatching group that initially spotted the space plane in May and recorded video of the X-37B in space using ground-based equipment.

Coincidence is meaningful

Molczan's analysis of the new orbit enabled him to discern that during the orbit-raising maneuvers, the space plane passed within range of several Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN) facilities: the Hawaii Tracking Station at Kaena Point, Oahu; Guam Tracking Station at Andersen Air Force Base; Vandenberg Tracking Station, Vandenberg AFB, California; Colorado Tracking Station, Schriever AFB in Colorado Springs; and the New Hampshire Tracking Station, New Boston (N.H.) Air Force Station.

"To put this into perspective, these are five out of the eight fixed AFSCN tracking stations, and X-37B's orbit only passes within range of six stations," Molczan said. "Diego Garcia was the one of the six that was out of range for the orbit-raising. So it seems reasonable to conclude that the coincidence is meaningful."

The Diego Garcia Tracking Station is on the Diego Garcia atoll, part of British Indian Ocean Territory.

From launch until Aug. 9, the X-37B was in a 40-degree orbit, zipping around the Earth at a 250-mile-by-260-mile (403 km by 420 km) orbit. It maintained a nearly constant altitude by making frequent small maneuvers to counter atmospheric drag, Molczan said.

Then on Aug. 9, the space plane made two larger maneuvers, increasing its mean altitude by roughly 17 miles (27.5 km).

The mystery space plane's first orbital adjustment occurred near its apogee (high point of orbit), raising its orbit to approximately 260 miles by 276 miles (420 km by 445 km). The final maneuver occurred near the next high point of its orbit, which happened to coincide near overhead passes of Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado. The resulting orbit was 268 miles by 276 miles (432 km by 445 km), Molczan noted.

Flight testing

As for whether the space plane's orbit change relates to its imminent return to Earth, slated to be at Vandenberg, Molczan told SPACE.com he doesn't think so.

"The spacecraft has considerable cross-range capability, so I suspect that phasing maneuvers for landing seldom would be required. Had this been a phasing maneuver, I suspect it would have been smaller, and a decrease in altitude. Very small maneuvers well ahead of a planned landing can bring about any required shift in ground track," he said.

In Molczan's view, the orbit raising may have been part of the flight testing of the military space plane. "It could also have been required by the payload. The nearly four-day repeating ground track of the original orbit — and the nearly 6 day repeating ground track of the new orbit — suggests that a reconnaissance payload is aboard. But I have no way to be certain."

Robotic landing in California

Little is known about the classified duties of the X-37B. However, Air Force officials did make it clear in pre-launch statements that the craft's first mission would focus on proving technologies necessary for long-duration reusable space vehicles with autonomous re-entry and landing capabilities.

According to the Pentagon, a second X-37B is under construction. This SPACE.com X-37B graphic illustrates some details of the space plane and its relative size.

The robotic mini-plane resembles the space shuttle and is equipped with a payload bay about the size of a pickup truck bed.

Built by Boeing's Phantom Works division, the X-37B space plane is just over 29 feet (9 meters) long and weighs about 11,000 pounds (5,000 kg). It stands slightly more than 9.5 feet (3 meters) high and has a wingspan of just over 14 feet (4.3 meters).

The spacecraft's new mission is overseen by the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office. The X-37B is believed to be operated by contractors under the direction of Air Force Space Command's 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron at Schriever Air Force Base.

The X-37B is designed to orbit Earth at altitudes of up to 500 nautical miles, loiter in orbit for up to 270 days, then re-enter the atmosphere to make an automated landing at Vandenberg.

"After the test objectives are satisfied, we look forward to a successful re-entry and recovery at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, and post-landing refurbishment of the vehicle," said Roake, the Air Force spokesman. "No landing date has been scheduled."

yeah imagine the pain as the tip of the fuckersmashes your face in an instant as you look up chances are your hair and face will melt prior to any impact on your body...wow the agony if only fleeting..would your brain have the chance to register the pain before the death point..also if you were beating off and about to blow your load could the pain be reverted to an intense orgasm...hmmm if i see an asteroid im gonna start pullin my pud...you betcha!


the real question here is: would you rather be eaten alive by rats or get sanded down to death from your feet up.

just imagine sand paper scrubbing away your flesh until you die. or rats eating your eyeballs as you scream like a little btch.

death by snoo snoo?


Is this because the rats might go mad before an asteroid impact do they have a plan..and the sand paper bit ..dont think this will happen as a naturally occuring event...dont tell me it says about it in the bible...anyway have you ever tried sanding a tomatoe...it gets very messy...people arnt made of wood and therefore this sand paper lark dosnt seem ethical or reasonable in the present reality...



are you kidding me? i got sanded to the bone by one of those table grinder. my index finger got caught between the wheel and the spark guard. if my finger had been in there for a few more second it would have been sanded right off. i can see my bones and the joint of my fingers were grinded down half way. so it would work, you just need to put some effort into sanding someone from head to toe.

the rats just like eating people a live, its what they do.

i understand the pain you recieved from that unfortunate sanding accident..i have not had such an experience..however i did watch my mate put his finger into a vespa flywheel when it was running cuz he couldnt see the cooling fins going round at that speed. not quite sanding more a quick FUCKIT and the realization of his sheer stupidity..Rats might do this chewing on the eyeballs you mention but this is not their usual behaviour especially if you live in a house and are by no means restricted in you movement of have your appendages tied down.Or is this like a double torture you might wish to put upon a fellow human being? I think the rats might fear an electric sander but may wish to feast on its handy work once the electrical device is switched off...The waiting for the rats to feast on oneself may turn out to be worse than the actual act itself...still i would rather the asteroid hit if i have such an option choice. thanks?

Re: Alert!!!!!!!! cluster of asteroids beginning to appear!
bet nothing happens and they whizz past missing us by a couple of thousand miles...we have a forcefield on earth and things like this just dont ever happen...if you lot rekon a rocks gonna hit us where and when??

Force field?

The only thing protecting is is a layer of air called atmosphere surely the small ones burn up in the atmosphere but i'm not worried about these ones.

I'm just saying these could be the first signes of a big one or many big ones coming at us.

Remember that secret nasa military space shuttle they launched in space...

I think they were about to destroy it before it hits us.
Just like the armageddon type of stuff.


[link to www.universetoday.com]

Here it is on the link above it was called X37-B and take a look at the shape of that shuttle no wonder they didn't wan't to disclose what was in it!

I think this shuttle carried a small nuke!


The vehicle was built at Boeing Phantom Works. Boeing guy, ring a bell?

Not really what are you trying to say?

That's a understatement. We are all going to die horribly is more accurate.



I prefer a direct hit on my head..


I prefer a direct hit on your head too.

As the world surrenders to tyranny will you do the same thing?

Will you be able to stand your ground without faith?

Think about it!
