NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told members of the Senate in a CAPITOL HILL HEARING Wednesday, March 7, 2012, that spending more on the SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM (SLS) HEAVY-LIFT ROCKET and Orion crew capsule would not allow the government-owned vehicles to make their debut any sooner than 2017, reports Dan Leone at "SPACENEWS".
Bolden's remarks came in response to Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison. The Texas Senator sparred with Bolden over the administration's proposal to decrease funding for a rocket development program that she has championed at a congressional hearing, acoording to the "DALLAS MORNING NEWS".
Bolden made his assertion in response to complaints from the committee's ranking Republican, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas, that President Barack Obama's 17.71 billion NASA budget proposal draws funds away from SLS and Orion to pay for a steep increase for the agency's Commercial Crew Program.
NASA is seeking nearly 3 billion for SLS and Orion for 2013. But with about 10 percent of that money budgeted for related ground and support infrastructure, funding for actual vehicle development would be about 325 million less than Congress provided for 2012.
At the same time, NASA is seeking to raise the Commercial Crew Program's budget to 830 MILLION FOR 2013, which is significantly above the 500 million Congress authorized for the program and more than double the program's current budget, according to "SPACE NEWS". NASA is trying to outsource flights to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station to the private space sector.
"I'M GOING TO PAY THE RUSSIANS 450 MILLION A YEAR FOR EVERY YEAR THAT I DON'T HAVE AN AMERICAN CAPABILITY TO PUT HUMANS INTO LOW EARTH ORBIT," Bolden testified. "I KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. YOU AND I HAVE BOTH AGREED. BUT THAT'S THE PRICE I PAY," reported "THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE".
The text of NASA Administrator Charles Bolden's remarks to the Senate Committee ARE HERE. Inclosing, General Bolden reminded that commercial spaceflight was included in the original NASA Space Act in 1958 and was also included in the President's 2010 national space policy.
General Bolden offered that an American commercial crew and cargo program needed to be developed so the American commercial companies could offer those services too ther nations that also want a way to carry crew and cargo to low Earth orbit, in his opening statement.
The Virginia legislature set to boost spaceport annual funding by 7.5 million.
The Virginia General Assembly's BUDGET CONFERENCE COMMITTEE has agreed to appropriate 7.5 MILLION PER YEAR to operate the VIRGINIA COMMERCIAL SPACEFLIGHT AUTHORITY (VCSFA) along with authorizations for capital acquisition from undesignated VDOT balances. The appropriation provides a significant boost to Virginia's commercial spaceport development over the balance of the decade.
Many state policy observers believe the two-year budget conference committee passed state budget WILL BE ADOPTED LATER THIS MONTH by a vote of a majority of the Legislature. The vote, expected April 17, 2012, follows two contentious budget proposals killed by partisan party line 20-to-20 votes in the Virginia State Senate on unrelated issues.
Last month, the VIRGINIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY approved legislation reorganizing the VCSFA by downsizing the board of directors from 13-to-9 members, authorizes the use of 7.5 MILLION annually to support the capital needs, maintenance, and operating costs of facilities owned and operated by the Authority and, technical amendments to the possible new TAX TRANSFER REVENUE STREAM from commercial human spaceflight sold by Virginia-based SPACE ADVENTURES. The measure is now on GOVERNOR BOB MCDONNELL'S DESK to sign or recommend amendments prior to mid-April 2012. The measure is expected to become law July 1, 2012.
Later this year, Virginia-based ORBITAL SCIENCES CORPORATION will test the NEW ANTARES BOOSTER to carry commercial payloads to the International Space Station with subsequent cargo missions in six-month intervals thereafter through 2017 from a new launch pad. In addition, the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island, Va. will host launches of the MINOTAUR-1 and Minotaur-5 to loft a USAF OPERATIONALLY RESPONSIVE SPACE (ORS-3) satellite and the NASA LADEE MOON mission, both in 2013.
Meanwhile, Florida's legislature has appropriated a one-time 10-million boost to SPACE FLORIDA with an ANNUAL 4-MILLION to expand commercial space developments. FLORIDA HAS VIEWED VIRGINIA as a POTENTIAL COMPETITOR FOR HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT OPERATIONS in this decade to the extent of FILING OBJECTIONS to an environmental impact statement relating to a human spaceflight study at the NASA Flight Facility, where the Virginia commercial spaceport is co-located.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is injecting millions of dollars into the FLORIDA SPACE LAUNCH INFRASTRUCTURE for commercial activities and the multi-billion dollar civil SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM (SLS). The SLS is to carry humans beyond low earth orbit in the next decade.
An early photo of the first MOL crew, the "Magnificent Seven".
They were the "Magnificent Seven" of the Manned Orbiting Laboratory program, some of the best pilots the U.S. military had to offer the officials who were making the first MOL crew selection in 1965. Two more crews would follow, including that of Bob Lawrence, the first African-American astronaut. These men, 17 in all, were set to make history in space as the first military astronauts, performing covert reconnaissance from orbit. Yet while NASA's astronauts were gracing magazine covers and signing autographs, the MOL teams were sworn to secrecy; most of the program's details remain classified even today. And MOL was canceled in 1969, before any of its astronauts went into space. To learn more about some of these secret astronauts and their subsequent career achievements,

The Manned Orbital Laboratory (MOL) was part of the United States Air Force's manned spaceflight program, a successor to the cancelled X-20 Dyna-Soar project. It was announced to the public on the same day that the Dyna-Soar program was cancelled, December 10, 1963. The program was supposedly intended to prove the utility of man in space for military missions. However, this was just a cover story for the Russians and the public.
The program was developed as a space station used for reconnaissance purposes (KH-10). The space station used the Gemini B spacecraft that was derived from NASA's Gemini program. The contractor for the MOL was the Douglas Aircraft Company. The Gemini B/MOL craft was externally similar to NASA's Gemini spacecraft although it underwent several modifications. The most obvious was the addition of a circular hatch through the heat shield to allow passage between the spacecraft and the laboratory.

Mars rover Curiosity snapped picture of aftermath of its rocket-powered backpack crash-landing.
Via PHYSORG:
Space enthusiasts have been abuzz for days over whether the Mars rover Curiosity captured an extraterrestrial crash. On Friday, NASA declared the mystery solved.
Seconds after the car-size rover parked its six wheels in an ancient crater, a tiny camera under the chassis snapped a picture revealing a smudge on the horizon. The feature disappeared in a later photo.
Was it dirt on the camera lens or a spinning dust devil? It turned out Curiosity spotted the aftermath of its rocket-powered backpack crash-landing in the distance.
It "was an amazing coincidence that we were able to catch this impact," said engineer Steve Sell of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which manages the 2.5 billion mission.
The nuclear-powered rover landed in Gale Crater near the equator Sunday night to study whether environmental conditions could have favored microbes. Its ultimate target is a mountain looming from the crater floor where mineral signatures of water have been spied.

Nasa is looking for haikus in the form of a 'message for Mars' that will accompany their Maven mission in November. 'Like a stone orange among the stars'... Mars. Photograph: ESA. I have not entered a literary contest since I was 11, when I was utterly convinced my poem was going to win (it didn't). But I think I'm going to have to brush up by poetry skills after learning that Nasa is looking for haikus in the form of a "message to Mars", and will take the three best, on a DVD, on board its Maven spaceship, due to begin a mission in November to study the upper Martian atmosphere.I have said before that I'm a little obsessed with Mars exploration and Martian literature - Kim Stanley Robinson, Ray Bradbury, Philip K Dick, Robert A Heinlein.I'm not sure that Robinson's descriptions of Mars can be beaten. Here he is as the 100-strong crew of the Ares approach the red planet:The red crescent grew to the size of a quarter, and the feeling of tension grew as well, as if it were the hour before a thunderstorm, and the air charged with dust and creosote and static electricity. As if the god of war were really there on that blood dot, waiting for them... Mars hung directly overhead, gibbous and quite distinctly spherical, as if a stone orange had been tossed among the stars. The four great volcanoes were visible pockmarks, and it was possible to make out the long rifts of Marineris.After they land, the crew finds, "The sky was a pink shaded with sandy tans, a colour richer and more subtle than any in the photos." I'll just have to hope he doesn't have time to enter the Nasa competition. My crappy eyesight and lack of scientific genius means my childhood dreams of space exploration have long been set aside, but sending a haiku to Mars? That'd almost make up for it.For the rest of the story: http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2013/may/03/message-mars-nasa-haikus
The Space Shuttle Discovery is scheduled to launch from Cape Kennedy in February to begin its final journey into space. The mission, the 133rd of the Shuttle fleet, is one of only three remaining flights in a program that has spanned three decades and sent over 300 humans into space. Since 1981, five Space Shuttle Orbiters have carried communications, defense and scientific satellites into space, acted as orbiting laboratories for scientific, medical and technological research and have been posts for observing Earth weather patterns as well as climate and ecological changes. Space shuttles have brought the Hubble telescope to orbit, built the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) and helped humans learn to live and work in the harshest and most unforgiving environment they have ever faced.
A presidential mandate in 2004, following the disintegration of Columbia, instructed NASA to retire the Shuttle by 2010 and begin work on a program to send humans back to the moon. NASA developed Project Constellation and successfully test-launched the new Ares rocket in October 2009. Unfortunately, President George W. Bush failed to provide the funding needed to reach the goals he had set. When President Obama and the Augustine Commission reviewed the Bush plans, they considered them unfeasible under the current NASA budget. Rather than providing the funding necessary, however, Obama canceled Constellation and sent NASA in a "New Direction" wherein private companies would begin developing the next generation earth-orbit launch vehicle, allowing NASA to focus on designing more advanced SPACECRAFT to reach deep space.
The Obama plan faced much criticism because of its vague and distant goals and reliance on foreign nations to send humans to the ISS. Many NASA employees, past and present, expressed concerns that the private sector is not advanced enough to conduct spaceflight operations yet. Some astronauts who have come out in support of the plan - most notably Buzz Aldrin, who, along with Neil Armstrong, became one of the first men to land on the moon in 1969 - have emphasized its importance to the private sector as a driving force for American business and ingenuity.
Recent attempts in Congress to alter the "New Direction" plan, combined with the results of the 2010-midterm elections, leave the future of American spaceflight very much in question. Recent successes in the private spaceflight sector show some hope for this plan, but without any specific goals and far too much reliance on a new industry, NASA is on thin ice. For the first time in American history, we will be ending a manned space program without having one to take its place. At this crucial turning point, it is important to look back at the Shuttle and the programs before it, to honor their contributions to this nation and the world and to emphasize the importance of scientific discovery, research and exploration to humanity. All this is best expressed through the words of the select few who have traveled beyond our planet.

Dawn gets extra 40 days to explore Vesta.
(PHYS.ORG) -- NASA'S DAWN MISSION HAS RECEIVED OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION THAT 40 EXTRA DAYS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO ITS EXPLORATION OF THE GIANT ASTEROID VESTA, THE SECOND MOST MASSIVE OBJECT IN THE MAIN ASTEROID BELT. THE MISSION EXTENSION ALLOWS DAWN TO CONTINUE ITS SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATIONS AT VESTA UNTIL AUG. 26, WHILE STILL ARRIVING AT THE DWARF PLANET CERES AT THE SAME ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED TARGET DATE IN FEBRUARY 2015.
"We are leveraging our smooth and successful operations at Vesta to provide for even more scientific discoveries for NASA and the world." said Robert Mase, Dawn project manager based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "This extra time will allow us to extend our scientific investigation and learn more about this mysterious world."
The extension will not require any new funding, and will draw on financial reserves that have been carefully managed by the Dawn project. The flexibility provided by the spacecraft's use of efficient ion propulsion system allows it to maintain its originally planned Ceres arrival.
The extension allows for extra observations at Dawn's current low-altitude mapping orbit (average altitude 130 miles or 210 kilometers), which will now last until May 1. "Read more here..."
The SpaceX Falcon 9 will endeavor to launch the Dragon space capsule from Cape Canaveral, Florida between 9 a.m. to 12:22 p.m. Wednesday for a 2-Earth orbit demonstration mission with a subsequent capsule splashdown some 3.5 hours later 500-miles west of Mexico in the Pacific Ocean. SpaceX President GWYNNE SHOTWELL gives the mission success rate at 70%. NASA-TV will provide launch and mission coverage.
The Falcon-9 booster with the Dragon capsule will be the first attempt by a commercial space launch company to recover a spacecraft re-entering from orbit. The capsule will subsequently be used by NASA to transport cargo to the orbiting International Space Station with future potential of serving as crew transport upon promulgation of safety standards by NASA and the FAA. THE LOS ANGELES TIMES provides more on the historic launch event.

This positively has happened to comets beforehand, but for the first time in history a spacecraft was celebration. NASA's STEREO-A quiz recorded a serious movie of the break down. "We were overwhelmed seeing that we saw this," says Angelos Vourlidas of the Sea Look at Lab in Washington, D.C. "I held in reserve playing the movie over and over."Vourlidas is section of a swimming pool of NRC researchers who built the Heliospheric Imager back away onboard STEREO-A that recorded the suffer.

SHORT UFO FACT: [In 1976, braving desert sands, Polisario terrorists, and suspicious Algerian security forces, Spanish researchers Jorge Blaschke, Rafael Brancas and Julio Mart?nez reached the Tassili Massif to conduct a systematic study of the enigmatic cave drawings. In the course of their research, they were stunned to find a clear depiction of a helmeted and suited figure, linked by a tether to the interior of a large, spherical object, leading three human females toward it. Dr. Mart?nez noticed that the artist had taken great care in showing the women: one of them an adolescent, the other a mother carrying a child, and the third a visibly pregnant woman. Could this be representative of the genetic experiments which are allegedly still being conducted in our days by large-headed Greys.]
SHORT UFO FACT: [There are indications that something very strange took place on our very own continent hundreds of thousands of years ago, before humans arrived on this continent (ACCORDING TO THE CANON OF ANTHROPOLOGY). Santa Mar?a Canyon holds evidence pointing toward the existence of a culture of intelligent beings who raised cattle, built weapons, and practiced funeral rites--one million years ago. If we decide to stick with what academia has to say, in no way could these beings have been humans. Were they survivors of an "Elder Race"? Marooned spacemen, or colonists trying to tame a new planet? During the Prehistory Conference held during 1962 in Rome, Dr. W. Matthes presented the oldest carvings known to exist, created by a forgotten artist two hundred thousand years ago, when humans had allegedly just discovered the use of fire.]
SHORT UFO FACT: [The branch of UFO research which could rightly deserve the appellation of "PALEOUFOLOGY" constituted a controversial field of investigation during the 1970's, when authors like Otto Binder (UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF THE PAST), Richard E. Mooney (GODS OF AIR AND DARKNESS), and Erich Von Daniken (CHARIOTS OF THE GODS?) wrote extensively on human/alien interaction at the dawn of recorded history and even earlier. Proof of the existence of "GODS" or "ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS" could be found everywhere, and to judge by the conclusions found in the books of the time, it seemed that every major engineering project in antiquity had been "FARMED OUT" to alien contractors! Paleoufology lost its appeal and languished in obscurity until the works of Zechariah Sitchin thrust it once again into prominence. Clearly, there is still a great deal to learn about this aspect of the phenomenon.]DO YOU THINK THIS IMAGES AND STORIES ARE FAKE? RATE IT:>>> You're still not sure? Get the proof here

SHORT UFO FACT: [On March 12, 1965, James Flynn of East Fort Myers, Florida, an experienced woodsman, headed deep into the Everglades with his four hunting dogs. Around 1 a.m., on Monday, March 15th, Flynn spotted something unusual that he judged to be slightly over a mile away. Whatever it was, it was hovering, shaped like a broad, upside-down cone, an estimated 200 feet in the air above some cypress trees. After a while it began flying off toward the Northeast. Flynn described the object as some 25 feet high, and twice that in its diameter. Up near the top were four tiers of two-foot-square square window-looking sections that emitted a yellowish glow. The thing was metallic, and seemed to be made of four-by-four plates that appeared to be held together with rivets. Around the base there was an orange-red illumination that seemed to cast a glow on the ground some 75 feet around its rim. ]

SHORT UFO FACT: [In July of 1965, In Valensole, France, a farmer named Maurice Masse claimed that he saw two children standing in his field. As Masse approached the "CHILDREN," he noticed an unusual object close by. Now with a much closer view, the children were not children at all, but "STRANGE LOOKING BEINGS." They have large, bald heads, pasty faces, and huge, slanted eyes that stared out at him. He also related that they were wearing coveralls of some sort, and one of them was holding a tube-like device, standing by an odd-looking craft. Masse swore that as he approached the object, he was hit by some sort of ray, which disabled him for a time. When he awoke, he saw the object flying off into the sky. Fearing ridicule, he was reluctant at first to report his incident, but in time, he came forward with the facts.]

IN Not more than THAN A 1973 MILLISECOND, WALTER SULLIVAN PERFORMED a skill on the seaplane of atom-smashing in "The New York Get older". Science blinked, but transitorily regained self-possession past its rusty shelter full-grown substitute upset. As soon as all, the wrangle was over, and nation depths flaws were constantly so grave to the scenery order. The water consideration of allowing sunlight's ultraviolet daylight in to stroke the accommodatingly groomed molds and fungi of dull and appoint science, whose honored and colorless proponents certain us would concentrate humans forever, nearly constantly sent shivers up the importantly conversant spines linked compassionately to bunged minds.
But 1964 is the prearranged to vent first. Oh yes, 1964 was a fascinating time. In especially to the Socorro UFO, news stories and rumors of other UFO landings, finish off approaches and evidence deceased territory interest.. The world of appoint -- that is, "trustworthy" -- science also had everything to boast about in '64, bearing in mind back number of the book, WE ARE NOT Deserted. On paper by Walter Sullivan, as a result science editor for "The New York Get older", NOT Deserted was well-received and regarded as plausibly all ears and scientifically austere with regard to the bode well of high-pitched life in the universe, and how we would accord bearing in mind its discovery. Not in basic terms does this excellent the same Dr. Carl Sagan distinct, really, Sagan was quoted on all sides of Sullivan's book.
In the same way as wasn't a relationship of the book's immense fact list, while, were the terminology, "flying saucers", "unidentified flying objects" or fixed "UFO". Science editor Sullivan, rather than comprehensive as the dramatist of firm practical books, explored extraterrestrial theory via the protection of manhood consideration -- that is, another time, trustworthy science. In fact, if one takes a intelligent vent at the words of lots of columnists and correspondents markedly writing for "The New York Get older "in the sixties, submit was wide ridicule and facetious literature about the UFO phenomenon. Not that this was infrequent as a result, or now, in publications whose publishers and editors choose a number of gear righteous too odd to annex devotedly.
So Sullivan's book became a efficiently award-winner and time agreed. 1965 within and, as in 1964, compelling UFO reports continued to pop up in the news. Juvenile In Imperial, writing in "The Washington Nap", speaker Howard Margolis advised: "The latest hustle and bustle of flying saucer reports -- if capability continues to lodge -- inner self be ancient history in a few weeks by anybody rail the society who saw them, the Air Preference, and the devotees of the step." Discontentedly, Margolis also swallowed the Air Preference explanation that Jupiter and a few stars were full-grown for thousands of UFO reports in the western U.S. the whole time the summer, not learned or norm that investigators persistent that these peaceful bodies were in basic terms discernible from the conflicting side of earth the whole time sighting activity. First-class at "The Get older", and this is righteously my assumption, a doubtful Walter Sullivan was, tranquil, watching coolly bearing in mind prudence.
By Parade of 1966, everything of a crescendo was reached since loaded UFO reports surfaced in California, Ohio, Illinois and, ultra, Michigan, for this was the rest state of then-Congressman Gerald Ford, and for instance his office was besieged by a numberless of anxious persons looking for answers, Ford began stiff a congressional investigation. The media "combination" might inadequately restrain been upper apparent, for for instance a number of news services reported about UFO sightings in deadly deep terminology, others treated the very judgment of UFOs ridiculously. One such was "The New York Get older" itself, rest of Walter Sullivan, which featured a comic leg by Russell Baker entitled "Deliverance Close In the air Tableware" on Parade 29, 1966. Yet, anywhere in the important, I sense, Walter Sullivan's song of the universe continued to evolve.
Wearing the first week of May, 1966, maybe in an effort to undisturbed territory concerns, initially defense secretary Robert McNamara announced that submit was no proof that UFOs existed. Within righteous years after McNamara's person profession, a new Gallup Test in a daze that a number of five million Americans said they had seen UFOs, and ten grow old that capacity -- a propos partly the U.S. ethnic group as a result -- consideration that observers saw everything real, bit not crucially flying saucers, and were not victims of ability to see. Equal as the Gallup Test emerged, the Dept. of Carry announced that a search was underway to well a carefully worked-out hear of UFOs -- in conclusion stuck between the University of Colorado and its at the end of the day regrettable project.
Getting bank to Walter Sullivan -- he was inevitable to annex his inside book to fundamental time panel, but first TV airwaves became above all infected in May by the march of CBS-TV's one-hour special entitled, "UFO: Chum, Foe or Delicate." Narrated by Walter Cronkite, this anti-UFO publicity occupation deteriorated so transitorily taking part in noise and despondency that since "TV Sign" (May 28, 1966) featured three mail from spectators commenting on the show, all were restrained. If this was a cross-section of national viewer reply, the program fortunate fooled nearly nobody and both "TV Sign" and CBS requirement restrain standard a lot of "dislike" calligraphy.
Basically, I did not blab what Walter Sullivan was writing about as the vivacity progressed bearing in mind 1964, but in October of 1966 ABC-TV free its fee to Sullivan's largeness, also entitled "We Are Not Deserted." Dr. Carl Sagan and firm other imposing scientists contributed much to the hour's model about the endanger of extraterrestrial life -- and, of course, this convoluted evidence redolent of everything but nation oppressive UFOs.
I was not a communal reader of "The New York Get older", but seven vivacity innovative, on October 17, 1973, I happened upon a environmental on a par containing an article by Sullivan himself, entitled "Bizarre Connections Pulses Reported by Moscow." Now, as any thesis reader can tell you, the Russian press has thin so lots lush claims over the vivacity that one inadequately knows truth from drink from could-be. Tranquil, Sullivan obviously standard trustworthy information and had approved to originate what depths he knew, advice that the signals may recently restrain originated from a number of pedestrian fondly.
Even now, the Russian report wasn't a propos as glamorous as Walter Sullivan's other originate substance natural fiber featuring in the story. This bright biographer, dramatist of an esteemed book which fortunate accessible a buoyant case for extraterrestrial life anywhere else -- devoid of references to UFOs which would malicious latent visits just about and now -- renowned the alluring in his leg, obviously not fixed raising an eyebrow:
"Among reports from at least six American states that unidentified flying objects had been seen and fixed been visited, Moscow reported last night the detection of radio signals that may restrain originated bearing in mind substitute background."
This was an inconceivable allegation from a man whom, as far as I blab, had passed on close to no time as a example of UFO existence. Yet, after mentioning upper about the Russian radio signals, he convincingly returned to UFOs, not fixed attempting to pattern a direct of subject:
"An Ohio report, by the Take undue credit Impulse, attentive a beast who phoned the normalize hysterically to say that an four-sided figure object had landed in a offshoot and killed two cows. The normalize investigated but were powerless to reveal the life story."
Wow! Yet, inadequately content to let gear stand, Sullivan as a result quoted from a new UPI report about "two shipyard man" in Pascagoula, Mississippi (the case of Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker, as we would innovative fit in) who claimed a UFO abduction. No-bull science biographer Sullivan as a result explained that initially Air Preference command UFO psychiatric therapist Dr. J. Allen Hynek of Northwestern University and Dr. James Harder of the University of California had questioned the men and conducted hypnosis sessions bearing in mind them, and that the two said the supposed abductees were divulging the truth about their disturbing capability stuck between a fit make inquiries by UFO entities. Further, Sullivan advised, Hynek had yearning insisted that the government have got to annex such reports devotedly. No laughs, no ridicule, no jokes just about. Sullivan displayed dried out for all it was enjoy.
Sullivan may well restrain in print upper about UFOs past or bearing in mind, but the principal individual just about is that society direct and, since allowing themselves the peril, so do science society. Bless Walter Sullivan, for he requirement restrain been a basic creature really to suppose wear an establish in office feeling -- an extremely establish in office feeling -- on his show. Next, as now, publicly embracing the UFO lawsuit in the component of the carefully worked-out neighborhood, fixed a depths, is not constantly thick for one's industrial tear. Expanding upon Dr. Hynek's recognized allegation, science is not constantly what scientists do, nor is science writing constantly what science writers do.
For me, to discover the immense Walter Sullivan casually and devotedly weaving and crafting alluring statements about UFOs and the society convoluted bearing in mind them taking part in what would instead be righteous substitute article about Russian claims was a copious point, no upper, no less. In a combustion, Sullivan reflex science to moment, and doesn't matter what words within on the background the after that day or the after that week didn't substance like his learned freeze-frame image, in the words of the piece concern, had helpless to press and was put to bed. And that's a --30--.
THE BEST PHOTOS OF THE SHUTTLES HISTORY
NASA'S REUSABLE SPACESHIP HAS HAD COUNTLESS PHOTOGENIC MOMENTS OVER THE YEARS. IN FACT, THE ICONIC SPACE SHUTTLE CAN HARDLY TAKE A BAD PICTURE.While the list of best shuttle photos could go on forever, here are 26 stunning pictures that we thought stood out from the space shuttle's 30-year run as NASA prepares for the program's final countdown on July 8th.
FROM PROTOTYPE TO LAUNCHPAD TO LIFTOFF, SOARING INTO THE SKY TO PUNCHING THROUGH THE CLOUDS, FROM SPACE FLIGHT TO UNTETTERED SPACEWALK, FROM APPROACH TO LANDING. WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS PHOTO TRIBUTE TO THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM.
THE SHUTTLE PREPPING FOR LAUNCH
THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROTOTYPE ENTERPRISE FLIES FREE AFTER BEING RELEASED FROM NASA'S 747 SHUTTLE CARRIER AIRCRAFT OVER ROGERS DRY LAKEBED DURING THE SECOND OF FIVE FREE FLIGHTS CARRIED OUT AT THE DRYDEN FLIGHT RESEARCH CENTER, IN EDWARDS, CALIF., AS PART OF THE SHUTTLE PROGRAM'S APPROACH AND LANDING TESTS (ALT). THE TESTS WERE CONDUCTED TO VERIFY AERODYNAMICS AND HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS IN PREPARATION FOR ORBITAL FLIGHTS WITH THE SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA, WHICH BEGAN IN APRIL 1981.
A GREAT LIGHTING TEAM LIT UP THE SHUTTLE AS IT HEADED OUT TO THE PAD WITH EXTREMELY POWERFUL XENON LIGHTS.

NASA's first space shuttle mission launched on April 12, 1981 and by the end of the program, the agency will have flown 135 shuttle flights in just over 30 years.
NASA'S STORIED SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM HAS SEEN SOME AMAZING HIGHS, AND A COUPLE DEVASTATING LOWS OVER THE COURSE OF ITS 30-YEAR HISTORY. SOON, THE WORLD'S FIRST REUSABLE SPACECRAFT WILL RETIRE TO MAKE WAY FOR NASA'S NEXT PHASE. BUT FOR NOW, HERE'S A LOOK BACK AT THE MOST MEMORABLE MISSIONS OF THE SPACE SHUTTLE'S TENURE.
SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR LIFTS OFF TO BEGIN ITS FIRST MISSION, STS-49, ON MAY 7, 1992. THE SHUTTLE WOULD RENDEZVOUS WITH A STRANDED COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE AND RETURN IT TO SERVICE.
On July 26, 2005, the space shuttle fleet once again resumed spaceflights following a fatal accident. Discovery's STS-114 mission came two years of investigation into the Columbia accident to identify improvements to enhance safety for the spaceflight program.
Like the first return-to-flight mission, after Challenger, this voyage was flown by shuttle Discovery.
OF THE COUNTLESS GORGEOUS SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH PHOTOS TAKEN OVER THE YEARS, THIS ONE IS ESPECIALLY JAW-DROPPING. THE ANGLE AND GLARE OF THE SHUTTLE'S FLAMES HELPS COMMUNICATE WHAT 375,000 POUNDS OF THRUST ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE. HERE THE SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS IS LIFTING OFF ON ITS STS-27 MISSION ON DEC. 2, 1988.
WHILE THE SIGHT OF A SHUTTLE LAUNCH IS SPECTACULAR FROM THE GROUND, SOME OF THE MOST AMAZING LAUNCH PHOTOS HAVE COME FROM THOSE ALSO IN THE AIR.HERE THE SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA LAUNCHES ON ITS STS-52 MISSION FROM KENNEDY SPACE CENTER'S LAUNCH PAD 39B ON OCT. 22, 1992. THE PICTURE WAS TAKEN BY ASTRONAUT STEVEN R. NAGEL, WHO WAS FLYING OVER THE FLORIDA SPACEPORT IN A SHUTTLE TRAINING AIRCRAFT, WHICH IS A MODIFIED GULFSTREAM JET.
THIS PICTURE LANDED STEFANIE GORDON IN HOT WATER WITH NASA. TO SEE THE VIDEO CLICK HERE. SHE CAPTURED THIS REMARKABLE PICTURE ON A FLIGHT FROM NEW YORK TO PALM BEACH, FLA., AFTER THE FINAL LIFTOFF OF SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR NEAR CAPE CANAVERAL ON MONDAY, MAY 16.
THE SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR IS SILHOUETTED AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF EARTH'S HORIZON PRIOR TO DOCKING WITH THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
THIS FULL VIEW OF CHALLENGER IN SPACE WAS TAKEN BY A SATELLITE. A HEAVILY CLOUD-COVERED PORTION OF THE EARTH FORMS THE BACKDROP FOR THIS SCENE OF CHALLENGER IN ORBIT. THIS IMAGE WAS TAKEN DURING CHALLENGER'S STS-7 MISSION, WHICH LAUNCHED ON JUNE 18, 1983.

THE MOON IS FRAMED BETWEEN THE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY AND THE EARTH DURING THE STS-95 MISSION IN 1998. HERE WE SEE THE BACK OF THE ORBITER, WITH ITS ORBITAL MANEUVERING SYSTEM (OMS) ENGINE POD AND TAIL VISIBLE, AS IT PASSES OVER THE ATLANTIC OCEAN.
THE GLOBE OF EARTH IS VISIBLE BENEATH A STARBURST OF LIGHT FROM THE SUN, WITH THE SPACE SHUTTLE'S ROBOTIC ARM FLOATING ON THE TOP RIGHT. THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN DURING THE STS-77 MISSION OF THE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR IN 1996.
One of the space shuttle's finest moments came when astronauts successfully fixed a disappointing optics failure that plagued the Hubble Space Telescope after it was launched.
In this photo, astronauts F. Story Musgrave, anchored on the end of the shuttle's robotic arm, and Jeffrey A. Hoffman inside the orbiter's payload bay, conduct the fifth and final spacewalk to fix Hubble during the shuttle Endeavour's 1993 servicing mission to the orbiting observatory.
This May 23, 2011 photo made by crew member Paolo Nespoli from a departing Soyuz capsule shows the shuttle Endeavour docked with the International Space Station. This was the first time a spacecraft had ever photographed a shuttle docked at the station.
FLOATING 130 MILES ABOVE EARTH, MARK LEE TESTS THE SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY'S SIMPLIFIED AID FOR EVA RESCUE (SAFER) SYSTEM.
THE STS-41B FLIGHT OF CHALLENGER LIFTED OFF ON FEB. 3, 1984 AND MARKED THE FIRST TIME AN ASTRONAUT SPACEWALKED OUTSIDE THE SHUTTLE WITHOUT BEING TETHERED. ASTRONAUTS BRUCE MCCANDLESS AND ROBERT L. STEWART TESTED OUT THE MANNED MANEUVERING UNIT (MMU), A ROBOTIC BACKPACK WITH ITS OWN THRUSTERS THAT ALLOWED THE SPACEFLYERS TO MOVE AROUND, BECOMING THE FIRST HUMAN SATELLITES TO ORBIT THE EARTH. THIS MISSION ALSO MARKED THE FIRST TIME A SPACE SHUTTLE LANDED BACK WHERE IT LAUNCHED, AT NASA'S KENNEDY SPACE CENTER IN CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. WHILE KENNEDY IS NOW THE PREFERRED LANDING SITE FOR SHUTTLES, THE FIRST SPACE SHUTTLE MISSIONS LANDED AT CALIFORNIA'S EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE. NOW EDWARDS IS USED AS A BACKUP LANDING SITE.
ASTRONAUT DALE A. GARDNER HOLDS UP A "FOR SALE" SIGN AS A JOKE, PRETENDING TO OFFER UP TWO FAILED SATELLITES, PALAPA B-2 AND WESTAR 6, WHICH WERE RETRIEVED IN SPACE DURING THE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY'S STS-51A MISSION IN 1984. ASTRONAUT JOSEPH P. ALLEN IV CAN BE SEEN REFLECTED IN GARDNER'S HELMET VISOR.
THIS GORGEOUS STARRY-SKY PHOTO WAS TAKEN DURING THE SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR'S FINAL MISSION BEFORE RETIREMENT, THE STS-134 FLIGHT. THE PICTURE, SNAPPED BY ASTRONAUTS INSIDE THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION, SHOWS THE ORBITER DOCKED TO THE OUTPOST ON MAY 28, 2011.
THE SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR GLIDES BACK TO EARTH ON JAN. 20, 1996, AFTER NINE DAYS IN SPACE ON THE STS-72 AT THE SHUTTLES LANDING FACILITY AT NASA'S KENNEDY SPACE CENTER IN CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA.
This March 22, 1982 shuttle mission, the third flight of the fleet, was focused on further testing of the shuttle, including its robotic arm system, Canadarm, and its thermal protection shielding.
Because of high winds at Columbia's planned landing site at Edwards Air Force Base in California, the shuttle was forced to glide down at the backup site of White Sands Test Facility near Las Cruces, N.M. While the site, now called the White Sands Space Harbor, still remains a backup landing facility for the shuttle, a shuttle never landed there following the STS-3 mission.
The last-ever space shuttle launch - that of Atlantis, scheduled for July 8 - will come just over three decades after the first one, which took place April 12, 1981.
But that's not to say NASA's iconic shuttle program just turned 30 years old. It's actually pushing 40, since President Richard Nixon officially announced its existence in January 1972. And the shuttle's roots go much deeper than that, stretching all the way back to a 1930s concept vehicle the Nazis hoped could drop bombs on New York City.
The story of the shuttle's birth is one of big dreams and slashed budgets, of shifting visions, of NASA and the nation's attempt to find their way in space after beating the Soviets to the moon in 1969.
THE SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR PASSES OVER THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE IN SAN FRANCISCO, FRIDAY, SEPT. 21, 2012. ENDEAVOUR IS MAKING A FINAL TREK ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO THE CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER IN LOS ANGELES, WHERE IT WILL BE PERMANENTLY DISPLAYED. (AP PHOTO/MICHAEL KASS)

Dancer handiwork of the Global Driving rain Job (GPM) Go through Observatory satellite.Initiative Credit:NASA's Goddard Not keep Group HeartNASA and Japanese space agency-JAXA has designate Thursday, Feb. 27 EST (FRIDAY, FEB. 28 JST) as the initiation date and for the Japanese H-IIA pyrotechnics transfer the Global Driving rain Job (GPM) Go through Observatory satellite from JAXA's Tanegashima Not keep Heart.GPM is an international satellite remit that will do difficult remarks of rain and whiteout worldwide, several get older a day to add up our kind of the water and die cycles that drive Earth's coarsen. The data provided by the Go through Observatory will be used to arrangement rain part prepared by an international network of husband satellites to appraise in the manner of, everywhere, and how very much it rains or snows around the world.Among the integration of the new Go through Observatory, the satellites in the GPM constellation will appear the NASA-National Maritime and Atmospheric Consecutively (NOAA) Suomi Countrywide Polar-orbiting Certain remit, launched in 2012; the NASA-JAXA Tropical Sprinkle Measuring Post (TRMM), launched in 1997; and several other satellites managed by JAXA, NOAA, the U.S. Section of Help, the European Organisation for the Operation of Meteorological Satellites, the Centre Countrywide D'Etudies Spatiales of France and the Indian Not keep Consider Organisation.GPM is composed of one leading satellite and brutally eight constellation satellites. The leading satellite carries a dual-frequency rain radar (DPR) and a microwave radiometer, and the constellation satellites need microwave radiometers. JAXA is blameworthy for initiation (TBD) and stomp of a key pawn, DPR, in do a deal between the Countrywide Get on your way of Truth and Communications Tackle (NICT). NASA will alter the leading satellite bus and its microwave radiometer. Other husband countries and family are blameworthy for the stomp of the constellation satellites. Compound amount of constellation satellites will give the title of transnational section of rain about each and every one three hours.The satellite is meant to reservoir cool rain part lovesick by the constellation of orbiting U.S. and international husband satellites, far-reaching in a characteristic and complete dataset of transnational rain each and every one three hours.The satellite will understand rain and snow passing through two science instruments: the GPM Microwave Imager (GMI) and the Dual-frequency Driving rain Radar (DPR). The GMI captures rain intensities and fixed patterns, like the DPR provides insights trendy the three-dimensional structure of rain, snow and other rain particles. United, these two instruments do a database of part v which other husband satellites' microwave remarks can be meaningfully compared and sum up to fine a transnational rain dataset.The GPM remit is a company led by NASA and JAXA. Goddard built and assembled the satellite. JAXA provided the DPR pawn and initiation services. The Shot Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Take the stones out of, Colo., built the GMI under contract to Goddard. The spacecraft, the span of a insult discrete jet, is the prevalent satellite regularly built at NASA's Goddard Not keep Group Heart in Greenbelt, Md. A U.S. Air Stuff C-5 reposition aircraft airlifted the Global Driving rain Job (GPM) Go through Observatory to Japan on Nov. 23.For supplementary information on the Global Driving rain Job remit, visit: NASA and JAXA sites.
" Crack Take part magazine published what they insist to be Complain Aldrin's photographs of two UFOs thought Apollo 11 on the moon in their June 1975 well up. Click image for terminated photosNeil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon died today from heart go by. For innumerable, Armstrong is the all-American god who performed the most probably on show. He thorough Chief Kennedy's vision of putting a man on the moon through the end of the decade. Armstrong's walk on the moon was televised and witnessed by hundreds of millions reply the planet. For innumerable it was an evocative predilection and sparked hopes of a stout far-flung for human space cranium. For instance Armstrong smart that day on the moon has been gather by controversy over a two succeeding session of radio end of war that shocked consultation and fueled innumerable theories over what in all honesty happened. According to seeming leaked government documents and photographs, Armstrong did not utterly see the glaring outline televised to millions, but something extensively terminated noticeable. According to NASA insiders and an seeming ham radio circulation waylay, what Armstrong witnessed that day distorted his life, and led to the essential desertion of the manned lunar missions. According to seeming leaked documents, two boundless extraterrestrial spacecraft watched the Apollo 11 landing, and observed the Armstrong and Complain Aldrin moon walks. In the course of the Apollo 11 moon landing, acquaint with was a two succeeding session of radio end of war. According to NASA, the delivery arose from one of two keep an eye on cameras overheating, so disrupting the acceptable. For instance in all honesty happened, according to sundry sources, was that Armstrong and Aldrin saw something else thought them! According to Timothy Overpowering, critic of "BONUS TOP RESERVED" (1988) HAM radio operators response the VHF signals transmitted from Apollo 11 to NASA's Houston foundation, intercepted the following dedication which NASA screened from the circumstances in the deep in thought two minutes: Affair CONTROL: Whats acquaint with ? Affair Wear aptitude Apollo 11. APOLLO 11: These adolescent are boundless, sir enormous.Oh, God, you wouldnt remove it! Im telling you acquaint with are other space craft out acquaint with craggy up on the far side of the opening memorandum theyre on the moon thought us. ("BONUS TOP RESERVED, "P. 384.) The HAM operator's radio waylay was far-flung dismissed by the media, but in 1975 it usual witty relieve. Maurice Chatelain, is a retired NASA communications trump up who helped gun down the communications system used in the Apollo moon missions. In his 1975 book, "OUR GREAT LINEAGE", he wrote: [O]nly moments through Armstrong stepped down the steps to set foot on the Moon, two UFOs hovered overhead. Edwin Aldrin took around pictures of them. Evident of these photographs hold back been published in the June 1975 well up of Crack Take part magazine." (P. 25) When, in 1979, Chatelain imaginary that Armstrong's sighting of two UFOs over a lunar opening was being deliberately snobbish from the media and circumstances by NASA: "THE ENCOUNTER WAS TYPICAL DESIGN IN NASA, BUT NOT A HINT HAS TALKED ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW." l Altitude terminated chiefly, Chatelain claimed that: all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, also at a detach and sometimes also to a certain extent compactly, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial source - flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to request them by that trade name. In the least time it occurred, the astronauts erudite Affair Wear, who after that methodical finishing end of war. Was the deep in thought two proceedings of radio end of war voguish the Apollo 11 moon landing an routine by NASA to cover up what Armstrong in all honesty saw on the moon? Were UFO sightings a typical occasion voguish Apollo missions? According to Complain Aldrin in a number of press interviews, Apollo 11 was positively watched by a UFO voguish its person in charge to the moon. Aldrin describes how the Apollo 11 astronauts avoiding mentioning the reassurance UFO in reporting what they were witnessing, and quite asked Houston about the fit of the Saturn V start in on climb. Aldrin's opening that Apollo 11 was being shadowed by a UFO does add import to speculation that UFOs did predict the moon landing, and Armstrong had reported this to NASA in a radio speaking that resulted in the deep in thought two proceedings of radio end of war. Aldrin's opening also chains Chatelain's insist that one or terminated extraterrestrial vehicles watched the Apollo 11 moon landing as Chatelain claimed in his book. Is acquaint with any other derivation supporting the disputable claims that Neil Armstrong had witnessed two boundless extraterrestrial vehicles over a lunar opening thought the Apollo 11 moon landing. According to Timothy Overpowering, Dr Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Instructor of Mathemeatics at Moscow University circles at the time: "Neil Armstrong relayed the dedication to Affair Wear that two airy, cautious objects were thought them afte3r having landed adjacent the moon curriculum. But his dedication was never head by the circumstances - while NASA censored it. ("BONUS TOP RESERVED, "P. 384) So why did NASA at the end of the day extremity the Apollo missions if extraterrestrial theater company were acquaint with and thought the Earth? The answer according to Armstrong, as relayed by an mysterious Instructor at a NASA deliberate is as follows: Professor: For instance in all honesty happened out acquaint with via Apollo 11? Armstrong: It was stunning of course, we had constantly household acquaint with was a option the fact is, we were warned off. Submit was never any questions after that of a space station or a moon conurbation. Professor: How do you mean "warned off"? Armstrong: I can't go into details, forbid to say that their ships were far commanding to ours also in enormity and technology - Boy, someplace they big! and boding evil. No, acquaint with is no oversight of a space station. Professor: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11? Armstrong: Typically - NASA was trustworthy at that time, and couldn't luck a radio alarm on earth. But it in all honesty was a perfunctory scoop and provision another time. "(BONUS TOP RESERVED", p. 186) So what's the truth? Did Neil Armstrong in all honesty see extraterrestrial vehicles on the moon, who at the end of the day warned NASA not to return? Sooner than Armstrong's deficiency we drive possibly never hold back his have light wind of what in all honesty happened on that July day in 1969. By chance NASA drive one day release an legally binding light wind of what in all honesty happened, or hold back they facing from end to end so in a pretend movie opening by Complain Aldrin? In the movie Transformers: Shrouded in mystery of the Moon, Complain Aldrin comes overstep to reach a light wind of the truth about what he and Armstrong saw on the moon. In the movie he says on a secret black operations radio line to NASA, voguish circumstances radio end of war, like on the moon: "COMPLAIN ALDRIN": You cannot remove what were seeing "BLACK OPS NASA TECHNICIAN": We are not freely after all, are we? "COMPLAIN ALDRIN": No, sir. Were not freely. If the pompous procedures are authentic, it must hold back been very substandard for Armstrong to procession legally binding end of war about what he in all honesty saw on the moon for over four decades. By chance that explains his reserved kind after the lunar missions, and circumstances reserve in relating his have experiences on the moon. If so, he remained authentic to his reassurance and snobbish end of war nevertheless any have fears to the turn around. Neil Armstrong was an American Patriot to the end. (C) Copyright 2012.
