Back in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, and after being fitted with glasses due to a rather unfortunate mix-up between standard and metric measurements, we started seeing things that simply astounded us. We saw the cosmos with a clarity never before imagined.

Hubble has done more to enhance our knowledge and understanding of the universe since 1990 than  Galileo has since 1609. The images we have gazed upon with rightful wonder thanks to Hubble have been magnificent, awe-inspiring and breath-taking. Among other things, Hubble has helped pin down the age for the universe now known to be 13.8 billion years, roughly three times the age of Earth.

Because of Hubble, we’ve discovered two moons of Pluto, Nix and Hydra. Hubble has helped determine the rate at which the universe is expanding, discovered that nearly every major galaxy is anchored by a black hole at the center and created a 3-D map of dark matter. Hubble has found exoplanets and helped determine their composition. Hubble let us watch a comet slam into Jupiter, found water vapor erupting off the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa and for the very first time, the effect of gravitational lensing on a distant exploding star.

Hello SpaceX and Dasvidaniya Russia

Since the end of the Space Shuttle, NASA has relied primarily on the Russians for transport into space. Our astronauts had to hitch rides on Russian spacecraft just to get to and from the International Space Station (ISS) but that wasn’t the only part of our space program that was connected to Russia.

The Atlas 5 program had also become reliant on Russia for engines used to launch NASA and other satellites into space.

While the Atlas 5 has been reliable as a launch vehicle; it is somewhat of an antique in the space industry. The Atlas 5 was the launch platform for Mercury missions in the early 1960’s that first took U.S. astronauts into space making the launch vehicle now a working museum piece of sorts.

For now, there are some 26 Atlas 5 rockets still in the NASA inventory, all of which have been dedicated to specific satellite launch missions and all of which are powered by RD-180 engines manufactured by and purchased from the Russians. While the RD-180 engines are proven and reliable, having been used by NASA for the better part of a decade, thanks to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and our nation’s sanctions against Russia, issues have arisen.

To Storm, or Not to Storm

In the southern part of Nevada, roughly 83 miles north, northwest of Las Vegas sits an old, dried up salt-flat lake surrounded by mountains.

It’s desolate out there..It’s hot, dry, and a long ways from pretty much everything and a fair distance from the little town of Rachel.

Back around 1864, lead and silver were discovered in that area, and the mining of it continued until about 1918. After WWII, with new equipment and extraction methods, the mining resumed, but that wasn’t the only thing going on out there in the middle of nowhere.

In 1942, the Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field was created with a pair of 5,000  foot salt-flat runways because the military figured it would be as good a spot as anywhere where new planes could be flown, tested, and possibly crashed without having to worry much about hitting populated places. It was also fairly close to where other military testing was happening, like bombing run practices, and soon, atomic testing would take place.

The original base operated off of an area that measured about 6 by 10 miles on what was called…

Freddie Gray is the EXCUSE, Not the REASON

gray 2Congratulations Baltimore…

Your Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has not only ALLOWED the city to be turned into a war zone…she SANCTIONED it.

Just a couple of days ago, during a press conference regarding the death of Freddie Gray while in police custody…Rawlings’Blake said…

“It was a very delicate balancing act because while we tried to make sure that they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on – um – we also gave those who wished to destroy, space to do that, as well.”

Of course her office is now trying to backtrack that statement claiming what she MEANT to say was that they INADVERTENTLY gave those wishing to destroy, space to do that as well but that CLEARLY is NOT what she said and the walk back came only AFTER the BLOWBACK came her way regarding the original statement.

Protesters always have the right to protest but…street thugs are always hell bent on destruction of other people’s property and there is no right that covers that. Each and every one of them should have been arrested and held accountable for the damage and loss of property they inflicted but…Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake not only turned a blind eye toward the thugs…

Common Sense and Politics – Don’t Fart in a Space Suit

com 1What this nation needs is some common damn sense.

Enough with the absurd liberal pandering and self-victimization propaganda. We’ve got people in the streets raising hell because the leaders they have chosen to follow SHOULD be in a MENTAL institution but AREN’T.

If you are a liberal…you are following the lead of the mentally disturbed.

Liberal intellectuals (self-proclaimed) are the worst. These are the people who would allow Jeffery Dahmer choose their restaurant for them and then sit around after dinner and slobber on endlessly about how good the finger food was.

There are some on the right that are just as bad.

I’m talking about the HTT Christian right. HTT…Holier Than Thou…who just can’t get themselves far ENOUGH to the right and believe that the ONLY way to save this country is to elect THE most HTT candidate they can find. The trouble is…no two HTT groups can settle on the same HTT candidate and they split the vote twelve ways from Sunday.

Here is their mindset in a nutshell…

Friday Fume

Posted on by

What a week.

We have a new Secretary of What Difference Does it Make…An Iran loving Israel hating nominee for Secretary of Defense…The Job’s Council has shut down after meeting 4 times in 2 years and doing nothing and GITMO is still OPEN but the office charged with closing it DOWN…CLOSED DOWN.

Forget Groundhog’s Day…Tomorrow, a SOCIALIST will pull his head out of his hole…See his shadow in the bright light of TRUTH and WE’LL HAVE 4 MORE YEARS OF INSANITY!!!!!

Today is Friday Patriots and…

I’m fuming.

Oh please.

REALLY?

The Department of Homeland Insecurity has issued their guidelines as to what to do when attacked by someone wielding a gun.

Apparently, in a game of rock, scissors, GUN,,,THE SCISSORS WIN!!!

According to DHS…If someone confronts you in your home of office, with a gun…GRAB YOUR SCISSORS!!!

However…do NOT chase the gunman because…RUNNING WITH SCISSORS IS DANGEROUS!!!!!

I really wish they’d stop smoking crack in this useless administration.

Is the guy with the gun going to intimidated by scissors???
