"The growth rate is increasing every decade" said Jim Butler director of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Global Monitoring Division. "That's kind of scary" Scientists can't say exactly what levels of greenhouse are safe, but some fear a continued rise in global temperatures will lead to irreversible melting of some of the world's ice sheets and several-foot rise in sea levels over the centuries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we go Again! Let's look at the facts: Recall back in the 1950's, 60's, 70's, and early 80's; The world's gasoline's contained lead. During these years cars did not have catalytic converters. There was no control on Freon, aerosol chemicals and refrigerant gases. All the electrical power plants were either coal, oil or gas fired plants. All the vehicles, chemical companies and power plants were emitting metric tons of CFC's daily. Yet from 1956 through 1980 there was NO OZONE HOLE. By 1982 the size of the newly discovered ozone hole (by NASA) was sized at 235,000 square miles. In 2010 the size of the ozone hole was at 16,920 miles. That's an increase of 7,200 percent. Today we have 141 Nuclear power plants that emit vapor (water) not CFC's. 80 of the old coal, oil and gas power plants have been closed. Plus, add the additional 61 new Nuclear plants into that total. There has been no lead in gasoline from 1978 through today due to 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's, aerosol sprays, 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 square miles in 1982 to 16,920,00 square miles in 2010 with all the changes mentioned that have transpired in the past 31 years? The reasonable question to ask is what has increased from 1980 through 2010? Answer: The world's 47 Space Agencies with 51 Spaceports located throughout the world. The increase in 6 satellite launches in 1980 to 360 in 2010. That's a 6,000 percent increase in launches in a the last 30 years. STOP blaming the greenhouse gases and blame the real culprits, The world's 46 space agencies that are on schedule to launch 652 satellites by the end of this year. Why so many? GREED, the cost of a satellite launch is a minimum of $1,000,000.00. Where are the rich people at the Space Agencies going to spend there monies when there is no earth left?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-8517353690848768638?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/8517353690848768638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=8517353690848768638' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/8517353690848768638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/8517353690848768638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2011/12/worlds-greenhouse-gases-surge.html' title='World&apos;s greenhouse gases Surge'/><author><name>Joe S.

Damaging dozens of homes and buildings. At least four people were killed and dozens more injured. Suspected tornadoes were reported from Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and through North and South Carolina. Forecasters blamed a cold front stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Northeast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another coincidence? There were two satellite launched from Russia on Monday, November 14th and another satellite launch from India on Tuesday, November 15th. As I have stated in my book many times. When these satellites are launched and burn holes in the Ozone layer, the solar winds and flares enter into our atmosphere through these holes. The Jet Stream then increases in excessive speeds that will drive cold fronts into warm fronts. Outcome, tornadoes, excessive winds and rains that develop into climatic weather disasters.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-1201802111812797093?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/1201802111812797093/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=1201802111812797093' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/1201802111812797093'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/1201802111812797093'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2011/11/storms-pound-southeast-states-killing-4.html' title='Storms pound Southeast states, killing 4, injuring dozens'/><author><name>Joe S.

Earth needs to clean up it's space. Since the space age began 54 years ago (1957), civilization has littered the region just above the atmosphere with space junk (satellites). The picture of the computer generated image depicted the locations of thousands of pieces of such trash. Scientist's had plans to limit the cosmic rubbish but then two events, a 2007 Chinese antisatellite weapon test that put 150,000 pieces of debris into orbit and a 2009 crash of tw0 satellite's, doubled the number of fragments in orbit, says a report from National Research Council, a branch of the National Academy of Sciences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have stated this fact on numerous occasions in my book. Not one of the forty six countries, that have fifty three satellite launching stations throughout the planet sending satellite's into orbit a a rate of one or more a day care about the space junk that they are creating. All they care about is the money that they are making ($1,000,000.00) per satellite launch. How many more Weather, G.P.S.'s, Communication or Spy satellites do we need in our upper atmosphere? Currently, there are over 350,000 pieces of space junk orbiting our planet. Where will these 46 countries launching these satellites and making all this money be able to spend it when there is no earth left? Can the weather be predicted any better today then it was predicted 57 years ago? NO! Why waste more money, clutter up our atmosphere, deplete the ozone layer and destroy our planet just for GREED?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-535155759939985825?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/535155759939985825/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=535155759939985825' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/535155759939985825'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/535155759939985825'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2011/09/planetary-trash.html' title='Planetary Trash!'/><author><name>Joe S.

Casey a former NASA engineer and former White House Policy Advisor! In his book, Casey has spelled out a compelling case that a new era has arrived. 1. Global Warming ended years ago. 2. the Sun has entered an ominous state of "hibernation". 3. The Earth's ocean and atmospheric temperatures are dropping rapidly and are now on a long term decline for the next 30 years. 4. Glacial ice worldwide is growing rapidly and the threat of rising sea levels is over. 5. How the ill-effects of current climate trends may lead to global agricultural devastation and social and economic upheaval!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My question to John L. Casey. On what planet has he been living on for the past 30 years? Certainly not here on earth! Global Warming ended years ago? How many years? Why do temperatures all over the world continue to get hotter each year. How can it be getting colder when the ozone hole is now at 16.8 million square miles. The suns rays easily flow through this gaping hole, that is why the people of Punta Areanas, Chile have no protection from the sun and their skin cancer rates are over 80%. Remember the heat from the flames from each rocket booster on the Shuttle is 6,400 degrees, two total: 12,800 degrees of heat and flames. the enormous hole that the shuttle burns up on every launch is devastating to the ozone layer. PLEASE Mr. Casey, I know you are probably trying to shift the blame in the opposite direction away from NASA, but get your facts from adequate and reliable sources, not from NASA! They have done enough damage to this planet. Thank God that the Shuttle program is finally over!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-5979320478496747816?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/5979320478496747816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=5979320478496747816' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5979320478496747816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5979320478496747816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2011/07/360-degree-turnaround-theory-from-john.html' title='A 360 degree turnaround theory from John Casey!'/><author><name>Joe S.

Last week hundreds of other tornadoes ripped through the midwest and left thousands homeless and 200 people reported dead &amp;amp; missing. The current weather forecasters have finally figuered out that the Jet Stream and Global Warming may have contributed to forming these tornadoes. What these current weather forecasters haven't figured out yet is what the REAL cause is to why and how these tornadoes develop and form!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From April 4, 2011 through April 29th (a period of 25 days) twelve (12) different countries have launched twenty six (26) satellites from twelve (12) Spaceports from all around the world. The U.S. alone has launched seven in this same period of time. The U.S. launches ranged from Poker Flats (Alaska), White Sands (New Mexico), Vandenberg (California), Wallops Island (Virginia), Marshal Islands and from the USS O'Kene in the Pacific Ocean. As I have mentioned and stated many times, when these satellites poke a hole through the ozone layer, solar winds and flares enter into the earth's atmosphere which in turn hits the Jet Stream. The Jet Stream then speeds up to over 125 mph, pulling warm air from the Gulf stream into cold air from the North. This is what starts the swirling action that develops into tornadoes. What is it going to take for everyone to realize that what I have written in my book are true with facts to prove my theory is correct!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-5529255740963807679?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/5529255740963807679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=5529255740963807679' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5529255740963807679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5529255740963807679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2011/04/devastating-tornadoes-pulverize-parts.html' title='Devastating Tornadoes Pulverize parts of Southern U.S.'/><author><name>Joe S.

There are over 10,000 additional people still reported missing. The nuclear reactors damaged by the quake are now emmiting high levels of radiation and if the cores melt the devastation will be devastating to the people of Japan and throughout the world. The Japanese goverenment as well as the worlds news media want to blame Mother Nature for this terrible Eartquake &amp;amp; Tsunami.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real blame needs to be directed at India's Satellite launching systems for launching two (2) Satellites the day before on March 11, 2011. These two launches pounded the Earth's crust with Six (6) million pounds of thrust on the same day, 3 million pounds from each rocket launch. From the loacation of the 2 launches in India to the four (4) Ring of Fire Fault lines across the Sea of Japan there is a distance of 3,000 miles. There was also a launch from the United States in Cape Canaveral, Florida on that same day, that's an additional 3 million pounds of thrust. As I stated in my book, since 1902 when records started being kept on the amount of Earthquakes that have hit our planet, the amount of Earthquakes have increased from 1980 through 2010 by 28%. What has increased by 5,000% during that same time period? Rocket launches from 67 countries with 51 Spaceports throughout the world. Another coincidence?

Dr. Somerville said "It is no longer theory or conjecture, we are observing scientific fact". He is absolutely right. What neither mentioned was the cause of the Global Warming. The culprits of Global Warming are the world's 47 satellite countries that launched 312 satellites in 2010. The time period alone from December 4th through December 29th, 2010 there were 45 satellites launched in a period of 25 days throughout the world. These launchings opened up 45 new holes into the protective ozone layer. This in turn lets the sun's solar flares and winds enter through these holes then hit the Jet Stream driving it berserk causing the wild violent weather that followed throughout the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strangely, the world's 47 countries that launch satellites on a daily basis have not launched a satellite from December 30, 2010 until today, January 20, 2011, 22 days without a launch from any of them. What does this tell us? That they know the damage and devastation that they are doing to the protective ozone layer. So they are laying low so scientest, engineers, climatoligist and others don't put 2 and 2 together and figure out they are the ones to blame for Global Warming. Also note that NASA has not revealed the size of the ozone hole in Antartica since 2009 when it was listed at 16.8 million square miles. Could that be that due to the launchings in 2009 &amp;amp; 2010 (over 617) the ozone hole is now larger than 18 million square miles? You can bet on that.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-7598809755982733070?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/7598809755982733070/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=7598809755982733070' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/7598809755982733070'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/7598809755982733070'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2011/01/wild-weather-all-due-to-satellite.html' title='Wild Weather-All due to Satellite Launchings'/><author><name>Joe S.

The current bad weater and high winds are due from the launching of the SpaceX test launh satellite that was launched on December 6, 2010 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida.&lt;br /&gt;It is not another coincidince that these high winds developed when an additional ozone hole that was created by the SpaceX satellite. The solar winds entered through the newly created hole, then hit the jet stream and created the high (50-60 mph) winds that brought the cold artic air from northern Canada into the United States. Even as far south as Florida, where the temperatures are dropping past the freezing point. 10 people have been killed so far from these unexpected low temperatures and freezing winds. The satellite that SpaceX sent up was just a test flight to prove to NASA that they (SpaceX Corp.) will be able to handle launchings to the Space Station when the Shuttle fleet is reired next year. SpaceX does not care if 10 or 1,000 people died due to their test flight launcing, they only want to prove to NASA that they can accomplish this fete in order to make MONEY!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-983922698335073741?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/983922698335073741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=983922698335073741' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/983922698335073741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/983922698335073741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2010/12/winter-blizzards-bad-weather-throughout.html' title='Winter Blizzards &amp; Bad Weather throughout the World'/><author><name>Joe S.

This population is having to wear masks in order not to inhale the heavy smoke from the fires. Tempertures in different parts of the United States have reached 105 degrees (in Yuma, Arizona yesterday) and we are only in the first part of the month in August. Newspaper articles have asked if the heat waves and fires could be associated with Global Warming?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do not have to be a rocket scientist to attribute these conditions to Global Warming. Stop and think, what countries launch the most satellites and missions to the ISS (International Space Station)? Russia. Which country is second in these same types of launchings? NASA and the United States. You may have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out, but I will explain it to you. When the rockets from both Russia and the U.S. continously cut through the ozone layer and blow holes wide open in the ozone layer, solar winds and solar flares enter through these numerous holes and create extreme heat and high temperatures in the same regions in which&lt;br /&gt;they were launced. All these facts are explained in my book. There is no guess work, it is real and it will get worse before it gets better if these launches are not stopped or at least reduced enough so that the ozone layer can recover.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-2148141488301879387?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/2148141488301879387/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=2148141488301879387' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/2148141488301879387'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/2148141488301879387'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2010/08/extreme-temperatures-in-russia-and.html' title='Extreme Temperatures in Russia and the United States'/><author><name>Joe S.

The article stated: True Colors, The changing Face of Greenland. There's a meltdown on the ice sheet-and optimism among Greenlanders. Vanishing Ice, Greenland's ice sheet once seemed too big to melt substantially. Now, as weather warms, the ice is disintergrating faster. Scientests think this could continue for centuries or even milenna, changing the island's geography and the planet's sea level. The article continues stating what the scientest's believe is causing the problem. It is: Solar Radiation. As average summer temperatures rise in Greenland, more ice melts. Surface water and dark cryoconite absorb solar heat, speeding the melting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solar Radiation, is transmitted through the open holes in the ozone layers when rockets penatrate there satellites through it. The solar flares and winds also enter through these holes. In turn, the flares together with the winds hit the jet stream causing cold fronts to rush into warm fronts that produce the climatic weather disasters we are experiencing everyday through out the world. Almost three decades of satellite data reveal an escalating trend in the extent of the ice melt zone--the part of the ice sheet where melting occurs between April and October. What will it take to prove to scientest's that this melting had never occurred until the past three decades? What has also increased 4,850% over the past three decades?

NASA officals laid out plans Wednesday to boost spending on climate research substantially over the next five years, to make up for cutbacks during the Bush administration. The boost increase totals over 62%, or $2.4 billion. NASA has 13 climate research satellites in orbit, which provide most of the needed information, but they are all old, with all but one well beyond their design lifetimes said Micheal Freilich, Earth Science Division director.The agency expects to have launched as many as 10 new missions by 2015 to collect information on issues such as ice coverage and ozone depletion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will NASA reveal that they themselves and the other 45 space agencies are the ones mainly responsible for melting ice glaciers and ozone depletion? I doubt this very much. NASA will probably blame El Nino, La Nina or something else other than themselves. Lets not forget that NASA brought forth the names and blamed El Nino &amp;amp; La Nina for all the climatic weather conditions that took place back in the 1970's. They will always be ready to blame anything or anyone but themselves. Ozone depletion in 1980 was documented at 235,000 square miles. The current ozone hole in 2009 is listed at 16.8 million square miles. The satellite launches in 1980 were a total of six (6). This years launches total 402, that is almost a 7,000% increase in the past 30 years. Can NASA still blame others?

Satellite sales are expected to peek in 2011 and begin tapering off in 2012 through 2013, and while an upswing in low-Earth-orbit telecom and Earth-observation satellites will help compensate, the total value of LEO spacecraft will be less than 20% GEO sales, experts predict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satellite sales and launches are expected to peek in 2011. Notice that the total amount of sales and launches were not mentioned. This year there are 402 satellite launches scheduled, what will next years total launches be 500 or more? Regardless, that only indicates that launches will average more than 1.5 per day. You can rest assured that the ozone hole in Antarctica will enlarge from the current 16.8 to 17.5 million sqare miles or more. All the 2,000 plus weather satelltes currently orbiting Earth will not be able to predict weather patterns due to the constant bombardment of solar flares and winds that will enter through the newely depleted ozone holes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-2951590255206997578?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/2951590255206997578/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=2951590255206997578' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/2951590255206997578'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/2951590255206997578'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2010/03/satellite-manufacturers-launch.html' title='Satellite manufacturers, launch providers may see downturn.'/><author><name>Joe S.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone realize what that $100 billion could do for other projects that are a really needed?&lt;br /&gt;Like saving Social Security, Medicare or helping to feed &amp;amp; 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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-979706816058729010?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/979706816058729010/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=979706816058729010' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/979706816058729010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/979706816058729010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2010/02/satellite-will-keep-tabs-on-solar.html' title='Satellite will keep tabs on solar storms'/><author><name>Joe S.

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 &amp;amp; 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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-1357246553194619850?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/1357246553194619850/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=1357246553194619850' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/1357246553194619850'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/1357246553194619850'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2010/01/earthquake-in-haiti-triggered-by.html' title='Earthquake in Haiti, triggered by satellite launch from French Guiana'/><author><name>Joe S.

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.

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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-3923462099204765990?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/3923462099204765990/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=3923462099204765990' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3923462099204765990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3923462099204765990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/11/icebergs-head-from-antartica-for-new.html' title='Icebergs head from Antartica for New Zealand'/><author><name>Joe S.

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.&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-5167954631049262628?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/5167954631049262628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=5167954631049262628' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5167954631049262628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5167954631049262628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/11/britain-sees-record-rain-biblical.html' title='Britain sees record rain, biblical flooding.'/><author><name>Joe S.

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.&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-3132377488786658076?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/3132377488786658076/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=3132377488786658076' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3132377488786658076'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3132377488786658076'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/10/space-junk-may-drive-up-cost-of-future.html' title='Space Junk may drive up cost of Future missions.'/><author><name>Joe S.

Moderate tremors were felt for about 3 to 5 seconds around 6:38 a.m. and were followed by weaker secondary tremors. The magnitude of the quake was 3.5 on the Rector scale. On Wednesday, September 2, 2009. 15 people were killed and thousands were left homeless when a 7.0 magnitude quake hit 140 miles from the capital, Jakarta, Indonesia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Space Shuttle Discovery was launched on Friday near midnight from Cape Canaveral, FL 6.5 hours later the earthquake struct Summerville, S.C. where there had never been an earthquake recorded. The earthquake in Indonesia was due to the launch on August 31, 2009 of a Palpa-D communication rocket fired from Indonesia, site not named, two days later the quake occurred. Must we attribute these two launchings &amp;amp; earthquakes to coincidenses again? I don't think so.

"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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On August 11, 2009, both Russia And China launched satellites. The Russians &amp;amp; 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 &amp;amp; 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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-9033835875141870175?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/9033835875141870175/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=9033835875141870175' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/9033835875141870175'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/9033835875141870175'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/08/three-tropical-depressions-form-off.html' title='Three Tropical Depressions form off the coast of Africa.'/><author><name>Joe S.

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."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

Take a look at the FACTS:</title><content type='html'>Al Gore's theory of how Greenhouse gases are depleting the ozone layer is a myth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recall that back in the 1950's, 60's 70's &amp;amp; early 80's all the world's gasoline's contained lead.&lt;br /&gt;During these years cars did not have catalytic converters. There was no controls on Freon,&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-758660828881853390?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/758660828881853390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=758660828881853390' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/758660828881853390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/758660828881853390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/08/greenhouse-gas-pretenses-take-look-at.html' title='Greenhouse Gas Pretenses.

"WE could get a bottleneck on the moon, he writes, "with manned and unmanned probes from several countries whizzing around it from different directions." With the Outer Space Treaty now more than 40 years old, Kaku says now is the time to rethink limits and protocols, "before national rivalries and tensions heat up as we approach 2020." &lt;br /&gt;NOTE! Notice that the Russian Space Industry was not mentioned as a country planning to send their cosmonauts to the moon. The reason was that back in 1960's when NASA said they had landed on the moon, the Russian's said they would not attempt to send their spaceship &amp;amp; cosmonauts to the moon for fear of the radiation destruction when crossing through the Van Allen Radiation belts. To all of the countries mentioned above that want to explore the moon.

They travel at about 17,000 miles per hour, fast enough for a relatively small piece of junk to destroy a satellite or even the Space Shuttle. There are 300,000 pieces of debris the size of a marble or larger according to Paul Graziani, CEO of Analytical Graphics, Exton, PA. With 2,200 additional satellite launches scheduled over the next five years, Graziani says he expects to see at least 10 more major collisions in space.&lt;br /&gt;Note that nothing was mentioned about one of these pieces of space junk hitting the International Space Station, there would go $10 billion down to Earth, plus the lives of the astronauts within. They also did not mention that the 2,200 launches over a period of five years (60 months) would average out to a launch every day of the year, the current launches now average one every 2.7 days. What will be the size of the Ozone hole be after that 5 year period, 22 million square miles? We are at 17 million square miles currently. Why increase Global Warming, Climatic Weather Disasters and Ozone Depletion to a faster pace?

The Lockheed Martin-built satellites, scheduled to launch beginning in 2015, will use advanced sensor technology to provide meteorologists with up to 20 times more weather data."NOAA's satellites are a crucial tool for weather forecasters and scientists, saving lives and property and helping us understand our changing climate," said Commerce Secretary Gary Locke. "This award will ensure NOAA remains on the cutting edge in satellite technology."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;"&gt;More weather satellite launchings will create additional ozone depletion as well as more space junk orbiting our planet. Edward O'Lenic, Chief, Operations Branch NOAA-NWS-Climate Prediction Center recently stated "Meteorolsists can predict the weather accurately for 1-2 days, any predictions after that would be inaccurate." With all the thousands of weather satellites currently orbiting the earth, meteorologists can not predict the weather any better today than they could 40 years ago, before all the weather satellite launchings.

"What you really worry about are the pieces too small to track, but big enough to do damage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In knowing all of the information stated above, why did NASA proceed with this repair to the Hubble Telescope? Are the lives and safety of the seven astronauts worth taking a gamble with? What about the possibility of a piece of small debri hitting the Shuttle once it completes the repair and not any of the astronauts are aware of the damage. What do we have to look forward to then? Another Columbia like disaster? Is the repair worth all this? The Hubble has served its purpose and then some. Do not risk the lives of astronauts or destruction of the last three space shuttles to obatin additional information about the Universe.

A spate of recent extraterrestrial incidents is giving new urgency to international efforts to decrease the danger posed by space junk, the remains of rockets and derelict satellites that have been accumulating in Earth's orbit for 50 years. NASA space shuttles and the International Space Station recently survived close encounters, and a U.S. communications satellite was destroyed in February when it hit an obsolete Russian satellite. "Unfortunately, we will see more collisions," says William Ailor, director of the Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies at The Aerospace Corporation. "There's an awful lot of debris up there." NASA currently follows 17,000 orbiting objects and has set rules to limit the litter its missions produce. Cleaning up the exsisting waste, however, remains a "a technical and economic challenge." NASA says space junk remains a threat to "the safety of persons and property in space and on Earth." Traveling at more than 20,000 mph, even a tiny piece of debris could cause catastrophic damage to spacecraft, including satellites that relay cellular phone calls and other critical voice and data communications around the globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even if NASA would set rules to limit the litter its missions produce, who will set the same rules for the other 45 Space Agencies? I believe the solution is to stop launching useless satellites into orbit. How many more weather satellites do we need in orbit? Meteorologist can't seem to predict weather conditions any better now than before all those thousands of Weather satellites were launched. How many GPS's (Global Positioning Satellites) do we need to find a location? Why not depend on our minds, thats what we used prior to GPS's. How many Spy satellites do we or other nation's need to spy on each other? Isn't that an invasion of privacy that generally leads to problems that end up as countries breaking off relations with one another and eventually leading to War? STOP these useless launchings and save this planet.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-232147046008076141?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/232147046008076141/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=232147046008076141' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/232147046008076141'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/232147046008076141'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/05/how-space-junk-threatens-us.html' title='How Space Junk Threatens Us'/><author><name>Joe S.

However, the $2.5 billion in funding will allow it to continue to complete missions to the International Space Station if its replacement is not ready.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reuters News Service on April 30, 2009 stated; Shuttle retirement prompts NASA to start layoffs. The upcoming retirement of the space shuttle will prompt NASA to cut 900 jobs over the next five months. NASA will send the first notices of job cuts out today to contractors Lockheed Martin and ATK Thiokal, which build te shuttle's fuel tanks. NASA plans to retire the shuttle fleet after eight more missions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. I can almost guarantee that NASA will push flying the shuttle until the Constellation Orion is ready. The loss of revenue for NASA would be astronomical as well as job losses.

I realize that the revenue NASA would lose in those four years of not doing experiments for companies in weightlessness would be costly, But look at the alternatives.

The agency's move clears the way for madatory cutbacks on greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and five other emissions that scientest believe are warming the planet when they concentrate in the atmosphere: Methane (CH4), Nitrous oxide (N2O), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's), Perfluorocarbons (PFC's), and Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). These findings confirm that greenhouse gas pollution is a serious problem now and for future generations the report noted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greenhouse gas releases contribute to about ten percent (10%) of the global warming problem. The other ninety percent (90%) has to be attributed to the world's forty six (46) Space Agencies. They are the culprits that are continously depleting the ozone layer, emitting over 10,000 degrees F of heat/flames at every satellite launch. Not to mention the 70 tons of clorine that these satellite launchings release at every launch that now average every 2.7 days. Curtailing the release of just greenhouse gases will not stop global warming.

There are still many missing people that are unaccounted for. The region continues to receive violent aftershocks 42 hours after the main quake hit. The last earthquake (5.2) in this region occurred over four decades ago.&lt;br /&gt;North Korea launched a satellite on Sunday, April 5, 2009. There have been many debates if the launch was sucessful or not. two thinngs are for sure; first, the thunderous force of over 5,000,000 lbs. of thrust emmited from launching the rocket generated vibrations that caused breaking and shifting of rocks along thousands of miles of fault lines. The location of the North Korean launch was located near the 38th parallel, go east a few thousand miles at that same parallel level and where are you? L'Aquila, Italy. Earthquakes are sometimes caused by shaking or trembling of the crust of the earth, generally caused by underground volcanic forces or by breaking and shifting of rock beneath the surface.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;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?

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."&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The auditors did not mention the total cost and cost increases of these nine projects. That grand&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-3573437644861692633?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/3573437644861692633/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=3573437644861692633' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3573437644861692633'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3573437644861692633'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/03/gao-report-blasts-nasa-spending.html' title='GAO report blasts NASA spending.'/><author><name>Joe S.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-6581665586156727317?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/6581665586156727317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=6581665586156727317' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/6581665586156727317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/6581665586156727317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/02/antarctic-is-melting-faster-than.html' title='Antarctic is melting faster than thought.'/><author><name>Joe S.

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"&lt;br /&gt;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?

The Kepler launch is scheduled aboard a Delta II rocket on March 5, 2008 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;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)&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-2251484740600853929?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/2251484740600853929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=2251484740600853929' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/2251484740600853929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/2251484740600853929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/02/wild-winds-emerge-from-no-where.html' title='Wild Winds emerge from no where?'/><author><name>Joe S.

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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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&lt;br /&gt;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 article was posted in the Austin American-Statesman (Texas).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.

The study's authors said there was "no going back" after the report showed that changes in surface temperature, rainfall and sea level are "largely irreversible for more than 1,000 years after CO2 emissions are completely stopped". NOAA senior scientist Susan Solomon said the study, published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal, showed that current human choices on carbon dioxide emissions are set to "irreversibly change the planet."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE!  That this article only mentions that the accumulation of (CO2's) greenhouse gases over 1,000 years is irreversible and will not stop global warming. As I have stated in my book on numerous occasions, the reason for global warming is not CO2 emissions but space launches that are now averaging every 2.7 days from the world's 46 Space Agencies. These frequent launchings have opened the ozone hole to a current 16.2 million square miles. This large hole enables large solar flares and winds to enter without any resistance and play havoc on the world's jet stream. This is what causes cold fronts to encounter warm fronts and develop into climatic weather disasters being experienced throughout the world. Reduce/Stop the launches for a period of one year and watch the ozone hole close and global warming can be slowed down considerably.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-7701293011281851937?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/7701293011281851937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=7701293011281851937' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/7701293011281851937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/7701293011281851937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/01/global-warming-irreversible-for-next.html' title='Global warming &apos;irreversible&apos; for next 1000 years: study'/><author><name>Joe S.

Nothing is mentioned or compared about the temperature of heat that the biodiesel would produce versus the temperatures from each of the two current rocket boosters that are 6,400 degrees F. , 12,800 degrees F total.

Writing in Scientific American, two of those scientists outline nine steps NASA could take, including partnering with "green tech" companies; launching inexpensive spacecraft to monitor Earth's climate; and spearheading efforts to make civil avation carbon-neutral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do these scientists actually believe NASA is going to monitor the Earth's climate when NASA and 45 other space agencies are the culprits that are responsible for climate change, ozone depletion and global warming? I don't think so. Also mentioned today in the St Petersburg Times newspaper an article on page 4A read: "Study: Bottom of globe warming too". Ozone depletion is at a record size of 16 million square miles. Does anyone believe NASA is going to conduct a study to expose themselves and the other space agencies to their destructive measures? Also why did NASA remove the past monthly launches from their website, 2009 in spaceflight-Wikipedia the free encyclopedia? Is it probable that my book contained the references between launch dates,&lt;br /&gt;locations and climatic weather disasters?

Scheduling 10 additional missions, as some have suggested, would come with another cost as well: "We would have a one-in-eight chance of losing the crew in one of the 10 flights," Griffin said.&lt;br /&gt;The 5 year total cost would be $15 billion along with the risk of losing another shuttle as well as the 7 astronauts. Michael Griffin is the same NASA Administrator that submitted his resignation that becomes effective next Friday, January 16. How can this individual even contemplate extending the life of the 3 shuttles as well as the safety of the astronauts when he has no clue as to the circumstances that will be involved when he departs? As usual NASA and everyone involved with their future space flights need to be retrained. Hopefully president-elect Barack Obama seems to be leaning toward selecting Charles Kennel as the new NASA chief. Kennel is a distinguished scientest.

"The exact course the new president charts will be the biggest space news story in 2009," says Florida Today (Newspaper in Melbourne, FL), which goes on to list nine more stories to watch in the upcoming year.&lt;br /&gt;Let us hope that that the new President-elect will investigate all areas and aspects of NASA's programs. Number one should be the safety of the astronauts and the spacecrafts that they pilot. Number two should be a new fuel that will not emit the emence heat and flames that continue to destroy the ozone layer. Number three should be a consolidation of all forty six space programs throughout the world to mandate an order to reduce the number of space flights. Number four should be that the forty six countries deplore more satellites on fewer launches so as not to enlarge the areas of depleated ozone already damaged and possibly subside the current size of the ozone layer.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-6575967838576446284?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/6575967838576446284/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=6575967838576446284' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/6575967838576446284'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/6575967838576446284'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2009/01/top-10-space-stories-to-watch-for-in.html' title='Top 10 space stories to watch for in 2009.'/><author><name>Joe S.

The 400 page report was issued by NASA after almost 5 years after the disaster that occured on February 1, 2003.  In short, Columbia's astronauts were quickly doomed and most likely never knew what was happening. The report stated that if certain safety measures had been taken, the crew could haved lived longer, but ultimately the accident was not survivable, the report concludes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why weren't the astronauts instructed to take a space walk around the shuttle when it was docked to the International Sace Station  and look for any type of damage to the heat absorbing tiles? Wouldn't that safey measure have been more important than the one stated above? When will NASA put the astronauts safety first, ahead of all the other procedures that they conduct? How many more accidents and lives must happen before NASA realizes what Dr Jonathan Clark, a former NASA flight surgeon stated; "I praise NASA's leadership for the report, even though it says, in some ways, you guys didn't do a great job." Incidently, astronaut Laurel Clark, one of the 7 astronats that lost their lives on the Columbia disaster was Dr. Jonathan Clark's wife.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-3050008457213739223?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/3050008457213739223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=3050008457213739223' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3050008457213739223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3050008457213739223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2008/12/details-of-space-shuttle-columbia-crash.html' title='Details of Space Shuttle Columbia crash exposed.'/><author><name>Joe S.

By New York Times Syndicate-The Economist.</title><content type='html'>A report on global warming paints a grim picture for some Latin American countries. More destructive hurricanes, shrinking forests, melting glaciers, disappearing animals: the prospective damage to Latin America and the Caribbean from climate change makes for grim reading. A new World Bank report, timed to coincide with a United Nations conference in Poland, tries to put numbers to the potential economic cost. ("Low Carbon, High Growth: Latin American Responses to Climate Change" by Augusto de la Torre, Pablo Fajnzylber and John Nash.) By taking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's predictions for what the planet might feel like in 2100 and then overlaying data from several thousand farms situated in regions of varing heat and dryness, it is possible to make some informed guesses about what the effect on crop yields, and therefore on GDP, would be if temperatures rose and rainful fell. Some places in the southern cone of Latin America would gain from such a change. But more would lose out: The authors reckon that left unchecked, climate change might cause a fall of 15-20 percent in far revenues by the end of the century. According to another study, this could mean an annual cut in GDP of 0.23 to 0.56 percent. This would worsen rural poverty. It would also entail the shrinking of a number of habitats, whose eventual disappearance would in turn speed up the process of global warming. Four are in the front line: Mexico's Gulf Coast wetlands; the Andean glaciers; parts of the Amazon; and Caribbean coral reefs (they expel tiny algae when sea temperatures rise, which eventually kills them). An increase in malaria in rural areas and dengue fever in cities completes a gloomy picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The simple solution to stop all of the above problems from transpiring. Stop or reduce by a significant number the space launchings by NASA, Russia, the European Space Agency an the other 43 countries launching staellites. As I suggested in my book, if all 46 space agencies stopped launches for one year, the ozone hole would close from 10 to 25 pecent. This would reverse the global warming effect.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-7078053908093992737?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/7078053908093992737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=7078053908093992737' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/7078053908093992737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/7078053908093992737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2008/12/gloomy-forcast-by-new-york-times.html' title='A Gloomy Forcast.

"It's a warning sign."&lt;br /&gt;Melting ice, especially in &lt;a class="cnnInlineTopic" href="http://topics.cnn.com/topics/Greenland" _extended="true"&gt;Greenland&lt;/a&gt; and the Arctic, is also thought to contribute to global warming, Zwally said. When the vast ice sheets and glaciers melt, they lose their reflective power, and instead, oceans and land absorb the heat, causing the Arctic waters and the atmosphere to warm faster.&lt;br /&gt;"We're seeing the impacts of global warming in many areas of our own lives, like agriculture," Zwally said.&lt;br /&gt;As an example, he cited the pine beetle infestation of this summer in the forests of Colorado and western Canada.&lt;br /&gt;"They were believed to be spreading because the winter was not cold enough to kill them, and that's destroying forests," he said.&lt;br /&gt;In the 1990s, Greenland took in as much snow and water as it let out, Zwally said. But now, about 15 years later, sea levels are rising about 50 percent faster, making the global climate situation even more unpredictable.&lt;br /&gt;"The best estimates are that sea levels will rise about 18 to 36 inches by the end of the century, but because of what's going on and how fast things are changing, there's a lot of uncertainty," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just think of what we have to look forward to in the near future. Notice that NASA or any of the other 45 space agencies that are depleating the ozone layer, causing global warming and the melting ice mention why the pace is accelerating. Could it possibly be that they (All 46 agencies) are averaging a launch every 3.7 days?

The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is tracking more than 17,000 pieces of "orbital debris" with the size of 4 inches. Some of those objects are considerably larger, such as the tank of coolant that landed in the South Pacific earlier this month. It was described as about the size of a refrigerator. More than 300,000 pieces are larger than a half-inch and are detectable but not being tracked, so we don't know where they are at any particular time.

The storm brought rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow through the night, and in some areas, including hard-hit New Hampshire, the miserable mix was continuing Friday.&lt;br /&gt;The governors of Massachusetts and New Hampshire declared states of emergency Friday morning, and schools were closed and travel disrupted across the region. New Hampshire's court system canceled all hearings and trials for the day.&lt;br /&gt;"I urge all New Hampshire citizens to take sensible precautions and heed all warnings from public officials," Gov. John Lynch said. Fire departments were responding to reports of transformer explosions, wires and utility poles down and trees falling on homes. Utility crews were so busy dealing with public safety hazards like live power lines that they weren't immediately able to begin restoration efforts. Utilities reported 392,000 homes and businesses without power in New Hampshire, including 300,000 served by the state's largest utility, Public Service Company of New Hampshire. The outages there far surpassed the infamous ice storm of 1998, when some residents spent more than a week in the dark.&lt;br /&gt;In Hampstead, N.H., Mark Cegelis, 36, said things were hectic at his neighborhood gas station, which was jammed with people trying to get gas for home generators.&lt;br /&gt;"It's kind of lawless out there right now. There's a lot of people very frustrated, stacking up at the gas stations. It's pretty ugly."He bought 21 gallons for himself and tried to deliver some to some friends in Derry but couldn't get there because of downed trees blocking roads. So his friends came to him instead, and were expected to hunker down until power was restored.&lt;br /&gt;Gov. Deval Patrick's emergency declaration in Massachusetts would enable the governor to take further steps, such as mobilizing the National Guard, if needed as the day wore on, officials said.&lt;br /&gt;Car and driver are stopped in Derry, N.H. on a road littered with fallen trees and wires after an overnight ice storm Friday, Dec. 12, 2008. The ice storm knocked out power to more than a half-million homes and businesses in New England and upstate New York, and authorities say it could take days for all of them to get service back.

Parts of Louisiana were expected to get up to four inches of snow. Snow also covered a broad swath of Mississippi, including the Jackson area, and closed schools in more than a dozen districts. The National Weather Service in Jackson said up to 8 inches was possible in the southern and eastern parts of the state. A heavy band of snow coated windshields and grassy areas in New Orleans, where the National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning. Office workers stepped out of high-rises to catch a snowflake, snap pictures with cell-phone cameras and swap snow stories. At a park in New Orleans' Uptown neighborhood, Sara&lt;br /&gt;Echaniz, 41, snapped photos and dodged snowballs thrown by her son, 3-year-old Sam. "He didn't believe it was snow until it started sticking to the ground," said Ecahniz, a native of Rochester, N.Y., who was pregnant with the child the last time it snowed in New Orleans, in December 2004.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Alabama, heavy rains prompted forecasters to issue a flood watch for parts of the state. Wintry precipitation also was possible later Thursday as temperatures were expected to drop.&lt;br /&gt;Flood watches were issued through Thursday night for much of North Carolina ahead of the storm system. Colder air behind the front could produce snow late Thursday and early Friday in the mountains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Louisiana, nearly 7,000 power outages were reported in south-central parishes as falling tree limbs snapped under the weight of ice and snow. Some flights at Louis Armstrong International&lt;br /&gt;Airport outside New Orleans were delayed and canceled. Airport spokeswoman Michelle Wilcut said deicing equipment was being used on planes. Cleco Corp., one of the state's largest power providers, said the number of outages was expected to grow. Forecasters said the mix of sleet and snow was expected to diminish later in the day as the weather system moved east. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In southeast Louisiana, temperatures were above freezing so accumulations were not expected to linger much beyond Thursday. An inch was forecast for New Orleans. The wintry weather is rare in south Louisiana, though the state's northern parishes see it about once a year. New Orleans' last snowfall, in 2004, was a dusting that came nine months before Hurricane Katrina struck. The record snowfall for the city is about 5 inches, recorded Dec. 30, 1963. The weather service said the previous earliest date for measurable snowfall in New Orleans was Dec. 22, 1989&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does all the rare weather mentioned above coincide with four (4) launches? Yes it does. On December 5, 2008 there were three (3) launches. #1 A VS-30-Orion U.S./Norway rocket was launched from SvalRak, an Island off the Norwegian coast near the Artic Ocean. #2 A Polaris (STARS) rocket was launched from Kodiak Island, Alaska. #3 A GBI (Ground Base Midcourse Defense) was launched from Vandenberg AFB in California. The fourth occurred on December 10, 2008. A Proton-M-Briz-M rocket was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Russia. These 4-launches produced additional holes in the already depleted ozone layer, causing more solar winds and flares to enter and drive the jet stream crazy. The end result, Rare weather disasters all over the world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-5883726148881293787?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/5883726148881293787/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=5883726148881293787' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5883726148881293787'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/5883726148881293787'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2008/12/rare-snow-covers-louisiana-and.html' title='Rare snow covers Louisiana and Missisippi'/><author><name>Joe S.

Why didn't NASA select to keep Endeavour in orbit one additional day and save the cost of the piggyback ride back to Florida?

The death toll is expected to rise up to 150. In the city of Itajai, 170,000 people were displaced. Officials said there was a risk of more deadly mudslides because the earth is still saturated by continuing rain. On November 26, 2008 three launhes took place. #1 was a Soyuz-U RVSN (Strategic Russian Forces) ICBM (Intercontinental Balistic Missile) is a Progress spacecraft expendable freighter that is an unmanned resupply spacecraft to supply the ISS (International Space Station) it was launched from the Baikonour Cosmodrome #2 was an RS-24, another RSVN ICBM for test purposes was launched from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome for test flight purposes. #3 was an Safir Missile launced from Semnan, Iran there was no payload information for this launch. These 3 launches that occured just one day prior to the terrible floods that hit Brazil. This was due to the 3 additional holes poked through the ozone layer. These rocket procedures enhance the winds and flares to enter through the 3 new holes and disrupt the jet stream that will drive warm fronts to collide with cold fronts. That confrontation produces extreme rains 10"-30" in 24 hours, that eventually results in large mudslides in hilly terains. Depending on the trajectories of the 3 launches, southwest of the launch sites, this would fall in the area south of the equator in the Southern Hemisphere. That is in the vicinity were Brazil is located. Remember, the trajectory of the launches mean that the newly poked ozone hole will direct the solar winds and flares to that area .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-3497716104747793738?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/3497716104747793738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=3497716104747793738' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3497716104747793738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/3497716104747793738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2008/11/floods-in-brazil-kill-99-3-rockets.html' title='Floods in Brazil kill 99, 3 rockets launched a day before floods.'/><author><name>Joe S.

A Cancer is overtaking our space agency: the routine acqueiscence to immense costs increases in projects. Unmistakable new indications of this illness surfaced last month with NASA's decision to go spend at least $100 million more on its poorly-managed, now-over-$2 billion Mars Science Laboratory. This decision to go forward with the project, a robotic rover, was made even though it had tripled in cost since its inception, it is behind schedule, there is no firm estimate of the final cost, and NASA hasn't disclosed the collateral damage inflicted on other programs and activities that depend on NASA's limited science budjet. The decision to pour more money into the Mars Science Laboratory, which is scheduled for launching next year, may ave been like many I witnessed as NASA'a associate adminstrator of science. If so, then NASA's accomplished adminstrator, Mike Griffin, may have calculated that any move to cancel the Mars mission would be rebuffed by members of congress protecting jobs.

During a spacewalk in September, 2006, astronaut Joe Tanner accidentally lost a, spring, bolt and washer. In July, 2006 Astronauts Michael Fossum and Piers Sellers lost a 14" spatula when testing a method to repair a problem on the space shuttle. During a December spacewalk in 1998, astronaut Jerry Rice lost a thermal cover and 2 tools. Three accidents in 10 years by 4 astronauts losing tools and hardware materials.

When the Shuttle Endeavour launched it tore another hole in the ozone layer. This occurrance proceeded to promote solar winds to enter through the new hole and devastate the jet stream. By this happening, out of control winds form into circular motion producing tornadoes.

On November 14, 2008, Russia launched a Soyuz-U Reconnaissance Satellite in LEO (Low Earth Orbit) Orbit from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome. #3. On November 14, 2008, U.S.A. launched the Shuttle Endeavour to the International Space Station. Could these 3 launches, two of them France and Russia that are relatively close to Indonesia and the Shuttle from across the Atlantic Ocean with its forceful thrusts possibly have triggered this eartquake? Or shall we rack this up to another coincidence? You and the rest of the inhabitants of this planet be the judge.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-701471083837890790?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/701471083837890790/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=701471083837890790' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/701471083837890790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/701471083837890790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2008/11/72-magnitude-earthquake-in-indonesia.html' title='7.2 Magnitude Earthquake in Indonesia &amp; Rocket Launches coincide.'/><author><name>Joe S.

A second quake with a magnitude of 6.1 occurred in the Aleutian Islands on November 2, 2008, there were no reports of any deaths or injurys. Both of these earthquakes took place 1 day (for Pakistan) 4 days (for the Aleutian Islands) after China launched a Long March 3B missile with a Venesat-1 communication satellite for the country of Venezuela on October29, 2008. As I mentioned in my book "The Aerospace Assault on Planet Earth" we can now add these two earthquakes to the 42 others mentioned in the book. More coincidences? The facts are very evident, the thursts from the rockets on the earth damage and weaken the platelets on the fault lines which then trigger the quakes in the surrounding areas. Take a look at a map and notice the close vicinities between China, Pakistan and the Aleutian Islands. More coincidences?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2880773642660877546-4712158108408561083?l=aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/feeds/4712158108408561083/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2880773642660877546&amp;postID=4712158108408561083' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/4712158108408561083'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2880773642660877546/posts/default/4712158108408561083'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aerospaceassaultonplanetearth.blogspot.com/2008/11/recent-earthquakes-in-pakistan-and.html' title='Recent Earthquakes in Pakistan and Aleutian Islands'/><author><name>Joe S.

Global warming is truly upon us and we desperately need to do something about this problem. PLEASE listen and read and learn as much as you can. it is real!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We hear about skeptical scientists who say that global warming is just a myth but, look around you. In the history of our nation and even around the world, there are things happening in our weather patterns and in our environment that have never happened before. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The world needs to face the real truth that the earth is facing a far more tumultuous environmental impact than an economic meltdown. Today, we are in an economic crisis but, what most of us do not realize is that we are in an even greater global environmental crisis. Yes, it is hard to believe that are very own existence is in greater danger than our monetary needs. That our very own planet is in far greater danger of failing than our global economy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, we still continue living life and doing what we normally do day after day. Most individuals do not realize that with each passing day, our planet is being continuously destroyed. This translates into a serious cataclysmic effect over a very short period of time. This is commonly known as The Butterfly Effect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Balancing our Eco-System should be our priority because without a planet, there would be no people, plants, animals, nor economic crisis to worry about. Contrary to popular belief, Mars is not an option. And even if life on Mars existed, think about the hundreds of years it would take just to excavate the land for human population. Not to mention the expense it would take to send a multitude of manned spacecrafts to Mars with the Earths entire population. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what would you rather do, protect the planet you currently live on and make it habitable for yourself and generations to follow? Or, would you rather depend on the dreams of others who think they can inhabit another planet? My personal decision is to stop destroying the very planet we live on and start using the billions of dollars that is being currently wasted and put it to saving our own planet. Planet Earth is our home. Would you destroy your own home in the hopes of living somewhere else that may or may not sustain you?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Aerospace Assault On Planet Earth” is not just a book concerning the future or fate of Planet Earth, it is a mindset that is determined to make a difference now and in the future. Join us to help make a difference to stop Global Warming, Ozone Depletion and Disastrous Climate Changes. PLEASE help us to save our planet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aerospace-assault-on-planet-earth.com/order.html"&gt;Download &lt;/a&gt;"The Aerospace Assault On Planet Earth" today and decide for yourself what the published facts and observations spanning the past 26 years of space launch history and the effects it has incurred on our planet even till this day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We want to strongly encourage everyone to watch the movie "The 11th Hour" hosted by Leonardo DeCaprio.
