YOUR SISTER
I have a sister, but we don’t talk. We should, I have that feeling. We grew up together, I left when a teen to go to school and I had seen her some. We still haven’t talked at all. I talk to my brothers just fine. I’m old now and want to make amends, however, I can’t think of how to break the barrier between us. I get the impression it’s just like another person, being so close. Ideas? Comments?

What happened to NASA?

Do We Need Another Space Truck?
NASA’s Space Shuttle program ended July 8, 2011, we no longer have any satellite boosting capacity, other than ‘throw-away rockets’ that were until then the mainstay.
The Space Shuttle was our ‘Cargo Capable Carrier’ from Earth to orbit, retreival of non-functioning, repair and return-to-orbit satellites, and, was re-usable. Only the orbiter’s main tank needed replacing when used (refitting was also required). Once the ‘way to go’ was worked out and snarls removed, many satelittes were put into orbit, including the very large ”International Space Station” inhabited by dozens of ”space fare-ers” up to now. There were a total of 135 missions. Canada produced the ”Canadarm”, the necessary mechanical arm used to remove ‘cargo’ and delicately place it into orbit.
Notable satellite, “The Hubble Space telescope” was one. Due to the vacuum of space and distance from gravity-heavy, atmosphere and tremor-filled Earth, the Hubble has, and continues to produce awesome images of billion light-year distant Stars and Galaxies. Now what could be more inspiring than that? Knowledge of other planets with lifeforms like our own would be a momentous occasion.
”SpaceX” in 2011 has commited to designing and building a heavy-lift, low-cost rocket booster that would do twice the job of current rockets, at a third of the cost, in the ‘mythical’ $1,000/pound range, still being worked on.
In 2012, NASA was building a heavy lift rocket bigger than the Saturn V, that would have a payload of 77 metric tons, due in 2017. But is it a Space Shuttle? Not being reusable, this would not be the case. It’s a ‘different package’ rocket, to be used for deep space missions.
Manned Mars missions would cost $500 million with a scaled up version of this new rocket, with a 130 ton payload, compared to a shuttle SRB worth $23 - $70 million. The SRB did have a lower payload.
So, space is not being ‘left alone’, we do have future plans for inter-planetary travel, and, it will be spectacular.

Suppose there was a takeover of the United States. Now, suppose that it was so insideous, so far reaching that you never even knew. It was so far reaching, far down, deep down, inside, to your very existence, to your own soul. The takeover was so complete, so sure, so true, that you couldn’t tell from yourself, and you didn’t want to play the fool and admit this. The takeover would have to be…
