Without another $50 billion, The U.S. won't put astronauts back on the moon by 2020 -- and even 2030 could be a stretch. That is the view emerging from the presidential commission charged with setting NASA's strategy for human spaceflight, and many of the options for speeding up the timeline -- including decommissioning the International Space Station -- appear politically unpalatable. "Unless the president is willing to step up and take a bold step like President Kennedy did, the manned spaceflight program is going to go in the ditch," says Senator Bill Nelson, D-Fla. This report was in the New York Times on 8/24/09.
Do we need to spend another $50 billion to visit the moon again or other planets that can not sustain life? I don't think so. Spend that money towards health care, saving medicare & social security. My thoughts are that Bill Nelson is a huge NASA enthusiast, being he was given a ride on the shuttle several years ago, he is not looking out for it's constituents.

Three Tropical Depressions form off the coast of Africa.
Three tropical depression storms have formed off the west coast of Africa since August 12, 2009. One of the depressions (Bill) is expected to form into a category 4 or 5 hurricane headed for Florida or the eastern United States. The other tw0 (2) storms are also headed in that same direction. What has happened recently that caused these three (3) storms to develop? Lets take a look at recent launchings and what launches are planned for the remainder of August.
On August 11, 2009, both Russia And China launched satellites. The Russians & Americans (International Launch Services) did not specify what type of satellite they launched from the Baikonur Spaceport in Russia. China launched an AsiaSat 5 communications satellite, from somewhere in Asia, the actual site was not disclosed. Between August 17 through August 31, 2009 there are 19 launches scheduled. That averages out to more than one launch per day. Imagine how warm and hot the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans will get with 20 more new holes made in the ozone layer. Those holes will let in solar winds and flares that will disrupt the Jet Stream. It will also bring in heat from the sun to make the oceans warmer. This will certainly escalate storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and the sunami seasons as climatic weather disasters will increase throughout the world.

Artic ice cap could melt to record low this summer.
The above headline was displayed on page 2A of the St. Petersburg Times newspaper on Monday, August 10, 2009. The article said; An area the size of Indiana vanished each day in July, scientests say. Global average temperatures rose 1 degree in the past century, but artic temperatures rose twice as much or even faster, almost certainly in good part because of man-made greenhouse gases, researchers say. In late July the mercury soared to almost 86 degrees in Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, near the artic ocean. "The water was really warm," veteran observer Eddie Gruben said. "The kids were swimming in the ocean."
The state of Indiana has 260,000 square miles within it's borders. Multiply that amount by the 31 days in July and that is a grand total of 8,060,000 square miles of ice that was lost this past month. Yet scientific researchers want to blame man-made greenhouse gases. The real blame needs to be attributed to the worlds 46 Space Agencies that have totaled 91 sucessful launches from January1st through July 31st of this year. That is an average of one launch every 2.2 days. Calculate how many solar flares and winds entered through those new 91 holes that were punched and the flames from the rockets that devasted the ozone layer. That is why the artic ice caps are melting, not by the man-made greenhouse gases as the scientific researchers are claiming. I call these researchers, conspiracy resarchers, because they are covering up the real truth so that the worlds space agencies will continue to make large sums of money while devastating this planet. GREED is the name of their game!

Greenhouse Gas Pretenses. Take a look at the FACTS:
Al Gore's theory of how Greenhouse gases are depleting the ozone layer is a myth!
Recall that back in the 1950's, 60's 70's & early 80's all the world's gasoline's contained lead.
During these years cars did not have catalytic converters. There was no controls on Freon,
Aerosol chemicals and refrigerant gases. All the electrical power plants were either coal, oil or gas fired power plants. All the vehicles, chemical companies and power plants were emmiting metric tons of CFC's daily. Yet from 1956 through 1976 there was no ozone hole. By 1980 the ozone hole size was 235,000 square miles. In 2009 the ozone hole is 16.8 million square miles. Today we have 141 Nuclear power plants that emit vapor (water) not CFC's. 80 of the old coal, oil and gas fired power plants have been closed including the additional 61 new nuclear plants. There has been no lead in gasolines from 1978 through today because of the Clean Air Act law that was passed in 1996. All the vehicles manufactured since 1975 have catalytic converters automatically installed at the factories. Freon, Aerosol spray chemical compositions and Refrigerants have been changed so as not to dispense any CFC's into the Atmosphere. Why would the size of the ozone hole increase from 235,000 sq. miles in 1980 to 16.8 million sq. miles in 2009 with all the changes mentioned that have transpired in the past 29 years?
The reasonable question is what has increased from 1980 through 2009? Answer, The Space Agencies. NASA, The Russian Space Agency, The European Space Agency and the remaining 43 other world space agencies that have 51 Spaceports located throughout the world. The launches from all these agencies last year in 2008 totaled 178 launches, that averaged one launch every 2 days. This year there have been 81 sucessful launches from January 1st through July 1st. There are 211 more scheduled launches slated from July 6, through December 31, of this year. Not to mention the grand total of 291 launches that will take place this year. That averages out to one launch every 1.3 days. There is quite a difference between 6 launches in 1980 to 291 launches in 2009. That is a 4,850% increase in launches in a period of 29 years. In 1980 the average was one launch every 60.8 days. Can anyone wonder why the ozone hole coninues to grow larger every year? The problem is not Greenhouse gases, it is the World's 46 Space Agencies that continue to launch weather, communication, GPS's and spy satellites through the ozone layer almost daily.
