Fargo N.D. Floods & Alaska Volacano eruptions.

The current news in the newspaper, radio and television has mentioned that the Red River would crest to a record 43 feet. Thousands of people are forced to flee their homes. The Volcano in Alaska that started erupting last week and continues to spew lava and ash today. Could these climatic weather disasters have been impacted by the ten rocket launches carrying 24 payloads from March 7th through March 26th 2009? The follwing ten rockets were launched in the following order; Delta II and Kepler from Cape Canaveral (3/7/09), Space Shuttle Discovery from Kennedy AFB (3/15/09), Rokot/Briz-KM from Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia (3/17/09), THAAD from USS Tripoli near Barking Sands Missle Center in Hawaii (3/18/09), Two THAAD missiles from Barking Sands Missile Center in Hawaii (3/18/09), Black Brant XII from Poker Flats Missle Base in Alaska (3/20/09), Delta II from Cape Canaveral (3/24/09), Soyuz FG from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Russia (3/26/09). Ten additional holes that penetrated through the ozone layer allowed solar winds and flares to enter through these holes into our atmosphere and cause violent turbulance into the jet stream. These conditions worsen as a cold front hits a hot front, end result; snow, rain, wind and tornadoes.

Third of nation's bird species are threatened, study says.

Article from Nation & World printed on Friday, March 20, 2009 on page 5A in the St. Petersburg Times Newspaper. Work is urgently needed to prevent "a global tragedy" of bird loss. Habitat destruction, pollution and other problems have left nearly a third of the nation's 800 bird species endangered, threatened or in serious decline, according to a study issued Thursday. Described as the most comprehensive survey of American bird life, the report analyzed changes in the bird population over the last 40 years. "This report should be a call to action." Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said at a news conference in Washington.

There was a brief article that said, "Climate change will make things worse, and work is urgently needed to prevent "a global tragedy" of bird loss, the report added. Climate change over the past 40 years has made things worse. Ozone depletion is currently at 16.5 million square miles and continues to grow. We will lose the bird population, polar bears, low land gorillas and many other animals if NASA and the other 45 Space Agencies don't stop their frequent launchings that average every 2.7 days. They are the real culprits to blame for Climate change, not aerosol sprays or refigeration products.

Five-inch debris chunk causes space station evacuation.

Three astronauts from the International Space Station spent 10 minutes Thursday hunkered down inside a Russian Soyuz space capsule as a five-inch piece of space junk hurtled perilously close to the station. Traveling at an estimated 20,000 miles per hour, the piece of debris could have caused a fatal loss of pressure had it hit the space station. One NASA official said it was the closest call he could remember in more than 15 years of tracking debris. This article appeared in The Baltimore Sun Newspaper.
Is it just now dawning on NASA that with more than 18,000 pieces of space junk orbiting this planet that one of these objects could collide with the space station? With that amount of space junk in orbit from launches over the past 29 years is why Ozone Depletion is at a record high 16.5 million square miles, Global Warming continues to grow and Climatic Weather Disasters continue to escalate. NASA, The Russian Space Agency, The European Space Agency and the other 43 countries Space Agencies that are averaging a launch every 2.7 days MUST STOP launching useless satellites into orbit. When will it stop? When debris hits the space station, possibly destroying it or killing astronauts, or the debris falling to earth and killing innocent humans? Satellites and space explorations are not worth the destruction of this planet and its inhabitants.

GAO report blasts NASA spending.

This week auditors found that on nine projects alone NASA is nearly $1.1 billion over-cost estimates that were set in the last two years. Still, the new stimulas package gives NASA $1 billion for climate-watching satellites and exploration, among other things. In a statement, NASA said its missions "are one-of-a-kind and complex, which always makes estimating challenging. ... We do believe NASA is a good investment of federal funds and strive to provide the best value."
A second GAO report used NASA as one of its leading poster children for bad practices in estimating costs. The space agency has a budget of about $18 billion, needs "a more disciplined approach" to its projects, the GAO (Government Accounting Office) said.

The auditors did not mention the total cost and cost increases of these nine projects. That grand
total is $7,815,200,000.00. Plus the complete loss due to equipment failure of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory on February 24, 2009, this satellitte was launched to study global warming. The loss of this satellite was $311 million. The next project Glory, slated to track global warming is scheduled to launch in June, 2009. Do not be surprised if this mission also fails to either equipment failure or technology problems on the satellite. All the projects and missions that have been scheduled by NASA to track global warming in the past ten years have not succeeded. The reason is that they will expose themselves and the other forty five space agencies as the real culprits that are causing global warming, climatic weather disasters and ozone depletion. The auditors claimed that NASA was a good investment (over $7.8 billion dollars). This same investment could have saved both Social Security and Medicare programs.

Kepler set to begin search for Earth-like planets.

This was an article printed in the New York Times newspaper on March 2, 2009. NASA is prepared to begin its first "planetary census" Friday evening with the launch of the Kepler space telescope. Armed with a 95-million-pixel digital camera, Kepler will spend three and half years staring at the same area in the Cygnus and Lyra constellations, monitoring some 100,000 stars for blips that would indicate the transit of a planet crossing in front of a star. Th goal: to determine whether Earth-like planets at a proper distance from the sun are common or rare -- a first step in seeking out other life in the universe.

Once again, notice that the cost of this endeavor was not mentioned. The cost was $467 million. Also not mentioned is that the closest constellation Cygnus, is 149 light-years away from Earth.
The most distant space probe, Voyger 1, was about 14 light-hours away from Earth as of March 9, 2007. It took that space probe 30 years to cover that distance. Should Kepler find the right combinations for a star and a planet location for life in that constellation, it would only take 927 earth years to get there. Good Luck.
