Antarctic is melting faster than thought.

This article appeared on page 14A (back page) of the St. Petersburg Times on Thursday, February 26, 2009. GENEVA - Glaciers in Antarctica are melting faster and across a much wider area then previously thought, a development that threatens to raise sea levels worldwide and force millions of people to flee low-lying areas, scientists said Wednesday. Researchers once believed that the melting was limited to the Antarctic Peninsula, a narrow tongue of land pointing toward South America. But satellite data and automated weather stations indicate it is more widespread. By the end of the century, the accelerated melting could cause sea levels to climb by 3 to 5 feet-levels substantially higher than predicted just two years ago.

When my manuscript "The Aerospace Assault on Planet Earth" was written in 1998-2007, I predicted at the end of Chapter 1 that sea levels could rise 3-5 feet worldwide and submerge cities along all coastlines throughout the world. Scientists predict this will happen by the end of the century. If NASA and the other 45 countries continue launching satellites at an average of every 2.7 days, I predict that the 3-5 feet sea level rise will occur by 2030, not 2099 as predicted by the scientists of 60 countries.

Failure hits NASA's 'CO2 Hunter'

Nasa's first dedicated mission to measure carbon dioxide from space has failed following a rocket malfunction. Officials said the fairing - the part of the rocket which covers the satellite on top of the launcher - did not seperate properly. Data indicates that the spacecraft crashed into the ocean near Antartica. The $270 million mission was launched on a Taurus XL - the smallest ground-launched rocket currently in use by the U.S. space agency. This mission was billed as "NASA's global warming satellite"
Since its debut in 1994, the Taurus II rocket has been flown eight times, with six successes and two failures including this launch. Thats a 75% successful rating. This was the first time NASA has used the Taurus XL. Why didn't NASA use a more reliable rocket for this launch? These are a few of the rockets that could have been used ; LIDOS, Atlas V411 or Atlas V421, Delta II, AMC-14, LGM-30G minuteman III, Pegasus XL. These rockets all have a 100% orbital success rate. Could it be that they did not want to reveal the reasons for carbon dioxide and the true reason for global warming? Why did it take NASA nine years to launch this spacecraft?

NASA spacecraft to seek out Earth-like planets.

A U.S. spacecraft toting the biggest camera ever will be launched next month to scour our region of the Milky Way galaxy for warm, rocky planets like Earth that may host life, NASA said on Thursday. The Kepler spacecraft is scheduled to spend 3-1/2 years looking at more than 100,000 stars similar to our sun, seeking evidence of planets similar in size and composition to Earth. The Kepler launch is scheduled aboard a Delta II rocket on March 5, 2008 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Well, here goes another launch! Another hole in the ozone layer and another few million dollars spent to find out if there is life on another planet. If so, it certainly won't be in the Milky Way galaxy, thats already been proven. If they do find similar circumstances between planets and near by suns in other far away galaxies, how many light years will it take to get there? Let's take care of this planet by not creating additional holes in our ozone layer.

Two orbiting satellites collide.

Two communications satellites have collided in the first reported crash of two intact spacecraft in orbit, NASA reported on Wednesday. The collision occurred Tuesday nearly 500 miles over Siberia. The crash produced a pair of massive debris clouds, and the magnitude of the situation won't be known for weeks at least, said NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries. Each satellite weighed well over 1,000 pounds.

With over 18,000 pieces of space junk (satellites) orbiting over this planet and with no control of their orbits, how can we be assured that there will not be additional collisions in the future? With the world's 47 space agencies now averaging launches every 2.7 days that forecast only means that there will be more collisions more often and debri raining down on humans. What will it take to stop these launches? I have the answer in by book. NASA and the remaining space agencies need to at least map out strategic courses for each satellites orbit in order to avoid the collision that just occurred.

Wild Winds emerge from no where?

Wild winds with gusts topping 97 mph blew from the great Lakes to the east coast on Thursday, knocking out power, disrupting travel and killing at least five people. The high winds, attributed to a strong low pressure system that was caused by a massive cold front hitting a warm front. In New York City there were wind gusts as high as 65 mph, disrupting morning commutes and delaying flights for two hours at both Newark Liberty International and LaGuardia Airports.

Wild winds with gusts of 65-97 mph, these winds were higher than a category 1 hurricane. This happens when multiple launches emerge from different spacports throughout the planet. On February 10th a Soyuz-U rocket with a logistics satellite was launched from the Baikonur
Cosomodrome in Russia. On February 11th another Russian rocket was launched with two Communication payload satellites from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. On February 12th Eutelsat (a French based satellite provider)and SES New Skies (a Dutch based satellite provider)
launched two Communication and Technology satellites each from the Kourou Space Port in French Guiana, South America. These three launches within 2 days, two from northern Russia and one from South America cut new holes into the ozone layer. That caused solar winds to enter and violently disturb the jet stream that surged the cold front from the north (Russia) to meet the warm front from the south (South America) and the effects are the wild winds that emerged in the northeastern parts of the U.S.

Wild Winds and Satellites colliding.

130 Killed in deadliest-ever Austrailian Wildfires.

Entire towns have been seared off the map by wildfires raging through southeastern Austrailia, burning people in their homes and cars and raising the death toll to 130 on Monday in the deadlieast blaze in the country's history. Searing temperatures and wind blasts created a firestorm that swept across a swath of the country's Victoria state, where at least 700 homes were destroyed and all of the victims died. more victims are expected to be found. The skies rained ash and trees exploded in the inferno, witnesses said, as temperatures of 117 degrees F (47 C) combined with blasting winds that created furnance-like conditions.

Question, could it be a another coincidence or facts that this heat, fire and blasting winds are related to two recent launchings from that part of the world? On Monday, February 2nd, Iran launched their first ever, Technology satellite from the Caspian Sea area. On Friday, February 6th NASA launched a Delta II 7320-10C with 2 payloads from Vandenberg AFB in California. In Chapter 1 of my book I explained how the ultraviolet rays with a 10-12 range combined with
temperatures that rise to 100 degrees will ignite dry leaves. Ultraviolet rays with a 10 to 12 range that beam down on on dry leaves will spark a flame and ignite a forest. The 117 degrees F temperatures would create ultraviolet rays from a range of 12-14. This range is more than substantial to ignite fires.

NASA looks to Sente for stimulus money.

As the Senate takes up debate on a massive economic stimulus bill, NASA supporters are hoping space explorations won't get lost in the crush of infrastructure projects and tax cuts. NASA got only a $50 million boost in the House bill approved last week, while agency officials were looking for $2 billion to speed the Constellation program and repair infrastructure damage from Hurricane Ike. This article was posted in the Austin American-Statesman (Texas).

NASA is looking for an additional $2 billion for space explorations. When is NASA going to realize that life can not exsist on any planet in our Milky Way galaxy other than here on earth? I predicted earlier this week on my Blog that NASA would try to receive money from President Barrack Obama's stimulus plan. That $2 billion should be given to some of the families that lost their homes in this collapsed economy. The $50 million they received from the house should be more than sufficient. NASA should increase their outer space experiments that they conduct for companies from $1 million to $2 million. Good luck, especially in this economy

Iran launches it's first satellite into orbit.

Iran conducted its first sucessful orbital launch on February 2, 2009. The United States of America as well as the rest of the world is concerned about Iran having the knowledge to launch missiles with warheads at other countries. These were the headlines in many of the newspapers around the world this morning.

Note, that nothing was mentioned that Iran is now being added to the other 46 countries that are launching satellites through the already depleated ozone layer (16.2 million square miles). Not to mention the fact that South Korea intends to launch their first satellite later this year. This will total 48 countries launching satellites around the world. What do we have to look forward to, the ozone being depleated at a much faster rate together with more climatic weather disasters occurring throughout the world?

Florida's space agency comes under fire.

Florida's auditors are urging Florida lawmakers to freeze funding for Space Florida until the agency has a clear mission and master plan. After completing one quater of its economic development agenda since 2006, Space Florida's "efforts to promote Florida's space industry are hindered by its failure to develop a comprehensive master plan, "according to the Legisture's office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability." Lawmakers appropriated $14.5 million to rebuild Launch Complex 36 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, but no commercial companies have yet signed on to use the facility, according to an article printed in the Orlando Sentinel in Florida.

This is another example of NASA recieving monies ahead of time on promises it can not keep. Why didn't NASA research the plans of the proposed commercial companies and evaluate the length of time it would take before the rebuilt launch pad could be utilized. Another example of NASA recieving money and not having accountability for it. Next they will want more money from Obama's Stimulas plan.
