Total cost of for ISS so far, $100 Billion Dollars

An article in Monday's (02/22/10) St. Petersburg Times Newspaper on page 12 A, section Nation & World read: Shuttle defies forecasters for on-time night landing. Endeavour and its six astronauts returned safely Sunday, making a rare night landing to end a mission that resulted in the virtual completion of the International Space Station (ISS). The two new compartments were supplied by the European Space Agency at a cost of more than $400 million. Their addition brought the 11-year-old station to 98 percent completion. The space station, a joint project involving 16 countries, has cost around $100 billion, mostly funded by the United States.

Does anyone realize what that $100 billion could do for other projects that are a really needed?
Like saving Social Security, Medicare or helping to feed & house more than 1 million U.S. homeless people. The ISS is merely a cash cow for the 16 countries that conduct experiments in weight lessness for any companies that want to experiment at $1 million a pop. With the more than 19,000 plus satellites roaming loose without control in troposhere, don't be surprised to read or hear one morning that the ISS was destroyed by one of these out of control satellites. What do we receive in return for that $100 billion investment if this were to happen?

Satellite will keep tabs on solar storms

There was an article in Monday's St. Petersburg Times newspaper in section B, page 6 that read "Satellite will keep tabs on solar storms". A new NASA satellite could help predict powerful solar storms that cause havoc on Earth. The Solar Dynamics Observatory or SDO, is scheduled to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center on Tuesday (February 9, 2010) with instruments designed to analyze the sun's atmoshere, its surface and even its interior. SDO's total cost is projected to be $856 million, which covers five years of operation and six years of data analysis.

Why spend $856 million into operations and data analysis when I have all that detailed information in my book? In the book I explain in detail how the sun's solar flares and winds enter through the Earth's depleted ozone layer (caused by the more than 19,000+ satellite launchings over the past thirty years). Which in turn plays havoc on the World's jet stream driving cold fronts into hot fronts and causing the massive snow, rain and ice storms that are being encountered throughout our planet everyday. NASA needs to focus on other projects like finding an alternative fuel that does not blow a large hole into the ozone layer when they pass through it.

Earthquake in Haiti, triggered by satellite launch from French Guiana

The massive earthquake that struck Haiti on January 12, 2010 I believe was triggered by a weather satellite launch from French Guiana (just off the east coast of South America, about 600 miles southeast of Venezuela) on January 10, 2010. In my book "The Aerospace Assault on Planet Earth" in Chapter 4, Earthquakes, I explain how launches propel over 4 million pounds of thrust into the earths crust at take off and will damage and shakes the Earth's Fault Lines and Tectonic Plates. Along the eastern coast of South America there is the South American Plate that runs North & South and it attaches to the Caribbean plate which runs East to West under Haiti and the Domincan Republic. When there is a weak Tectonic Plate that is attached to any cross over Fault Line such as this one, 4 million pounds of thurst will certainly trigger a magnitude 7 earthquake along a weak Tetonic Plate. There had not been an earthquake of this size in Haiti for over 200 years. Would you consider this another coincidence? I think not! Also the frequent satellite launchings, 6, from Russia since January 10, 2010 are attached to Juan De Fuca Plate that attaches to Philippine Plate which finally attaches to the South American Plate. Total all these 7 launches that expelled over 28 million pounds of thrust onto the earths crust and see if a weak Tectonic Plate through out this planet does not break into an earthquake.

Article in Popular Science "The New Space Rush".

In Popular Science's January 2010 Issue there was an 8 page story about fifteen (15) new Aerospace companies that are planning to launch flights starting next year, 2010 through 2014. These flights will be sub orbital as well as low earth orbits. Regardless, these flights will only contribute to increasing the size of the Ozone hole and accelerate Global Warming and increase the Climatic Weather Disasters that are happening throughtout the world today. The list of Aerospace companies and planned launch years are: 1. VIRGIN GALACTIC-2010. 2. SPACEX-2010. 3. ORBITAL SCIENCE CORP.-2010. 4. SCALED COMPOSITES-2011. 5. master space systems-2011. 6. ARMADILLO AEROSPACE-2011. 7. PLANETARY SOCIETY-2010. 8. BIGELOW AEROSPACE-2014. 9. XCOR-2013. 10. BLUE ORIGIN-2012. 11. A D ASTRA ROCKET CO.-2013. 12. INTERORBITAL SYSTEMS-2010. 13. ARCA-2014. 14. DA VINCI PROJECT/THE DREAMSPACE GROUP-2012. 15. SPACE ADVENTURES-2013. By adding these fifteen (15) companies to the world's already exsisting forty six (46) Aerospace companies the grand toal will be sixty one (61) Aerospace companies that will be launching satellites and tourists daily into the stratosphere. At this rate both the Artic and Antartic wil be ice free by 2015. There will be drought, rising sea levels, famine, excessive rains, sunami's, hurricanes, typhoons, eartquakes, volcanic eruptions and the end of mankind as we know it. We MUST stop these daily launchings or it will be lead to the end of this planet as we know it.

Icebergs head from Antartica for New Zealand

The above was a headline posted on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 in the Washington Post Newspaper: Ships are on alert and maritime authorities are monitoring the movements of hundreds of menacing icebergs drifting towards New Zealand in the southern Pacific Ocean, officials said. The current floatilla of icebergs that split off Antartic ice shelves are slowly drifting in the direction of New Zealand. The nearest one, measuring about 330 to 660 feet (100 to 200 meters) long, was about 160 miles (260 kilometers) southeast of New Zealand's Stewart Island on Tuesday, Austrailan glaciologist Neal Young said.

My comments: Is it another coincidence that these ice shelves broke off just after The Space Shuttle Atlantis launch from Cape Kennedy on November 16th, Plus a Soyuz-U rocket Russian launch from Plesetsk on November 20th, An Atlas V 431 rocket launched from Cape Canaveral on November 23rd, and a Proton-M/Briz-M Enhanced rocket launched from Baikonur Site in Russia on November 24th. Four launches within eight (8) days. Four additional hole bored/burned through the ozone layer. Numerous solar flares and winds enter through these additional holes. Is it a wonder why these artic ice shelves are breaking off and drifting towards New Zealand? The oozone hole in the Antartic is now at 16.8 million square miles. When these ice shelves begin to melt and the sea levels start to rise, then maybe someone other than myself will start to fiqure out that the frequent launchings are the cause of the problem.

Britain sees record rain, biblical flooding.

The above headline and the description below was posted on msnbc.com on November 20, 2009: Two hundred were rescued in one town, two bridges collapse; Irish castle, hotel swamped winched dozens of people to safety and emergency workers in inflatable boats rescued scores more on Friday following the heaviest rainfall ever recorded in Britain. British soldiers conducted house to house searches for those trapped by floods as deep as 8 feet. Two hundred people were rescued in the hardest hit town, Cockermouth were about 1,000 homes were flooded and destroyed.
My comments: Just 4 days before (November 16, 2009) the above devastating flood occurred, NASA launched the Space Shuttle Atlantis from Cape Kennedy towards a northeastern trajectory that included Britain, Geenland and Iceland. In burning and opening a new hole in the ozone layer in this area of the upper atmosphere, the solar winds and flares that entered through this hole hit the jetstream. The jetstream then drove a cold front into a hot front. Conclusion, the devastating rains and floods that hit Britain on November 20, 2009. Another coincidence? No, just NASA in a hurry to try and complete construction on the International Space Station and conduct more experiments in weightlessnes for companies in order to receive more revenue at a $1,000,000.00 an experiment, times 20-30 experiments per launch.

Space Junk may drive up cost of Future missions.

An Article in New Scientist revealed that scientists fear a "blizzard" of space debris will make future rocket launches dramatically more expensive. With the U.S. now tracking 19,000 objects in orbit around Earth, Hugh Lewis of the University of Southhampton in the U.K. predicts a 50% rise in near-misses over the next decade and a 400% jump by 2059. By that year, his statistics show, satellite operators will have to take five times as many collision-avoidance measures as they will in 2019.
Have any of these scientists calculated the percentage of possible collisions and where the debris may fall onto the Earth? True that the majority of debris would fall into the oceans. But what if it falls on an airborne aircraft, ships in the oceans or possibly land where hundreds could be killed or injured. If you calculate the 19,000 pieces of satellites (Space Junk) divided by the past 29 years of excessive launchings that averages to 655 launches per year. Divide that by 365 days in a year and that averages to a launch every 1.8 days (or every other day). The worlds 46 Space Agencies with their 51 Spaceports located around the world must stop these excessive launches not only to reduce possible collisions, but to reduce constant depletion of the ozone layer.
