Book Description
The year is 2009. For Kip Dawson, winning a passenger seat on American Space Adventure's spacecraft is a dream come true. One grand shot of insanity and he can return to earth fulfilled. But the thrill of the successful launch turns to terror when a micrometeorite penetrates the capsule, leaving the radios as dead as the pilot. Reality hits: Kip isn't going home. With nothing to do but wait for his doomed fate, Kip writes his epitaph on the ship's laptop computer, unaware that an audience of millions has discovered it and is tracking his every word on the Internet. As a massive struggle gets underway to rescue him, Kip has no idea that the world can hear his cries -- or that his heroism in the face of death may sabotage his best chance of survival.

Enhancing Hubble's Vision
Author: David J. Shayler
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319226444
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
This book tells the story of the four missions to maintain Hubble's successful operation. Between 1997 and 2009 these repaired, serviced and upgraded the instruments on the telescope to maintain its state-of-the-art capabilities. It draws on first hand interviews with those closely involved in the project. The spacewalking skills and experiences gained from maintaining and upgrading Hubble had direct application to the construction of the International Space Station and help with its maintenance. These skills can be applied to future human and robotic satellite servicing and maintenance activities as well, not only in Earth orbit but at locations deeper in space. A companion to this book, The Hubble Space Telescope: From Concept to Success, relates the events of the Telescope’s launch in 1990 and its rough start, after a 20-year struggle to place a large optical telescope in orbit. Originally intended to operate for fifteen years, Hubble has just passed its 25th anniversary, and there is every expectation that it will survive for thirty years. Despite its early problems, the Hubble Space Telescope has become a lasting legacy of the Space Shuttle program, and indeed is a national treasure.

Book Description
“…a large planet stood above the North Pole for a very long time.” That is what all the mythology throughout the world uniformly states. Mythology from every nation, region, tribe, and period, in thousands of languages, in hundreds of forms, from every continent; they all resound, “a large planet stood above the North Pole for a very long time.” Every country is accounted for except those located more than 10 degrees below the equator. The mythology of regions as far removed from each other as Siberia, North Africa, and Guatemala all agree. As others have indicated, I will also suggest that this planet was Saturn and that Saturn was initially a brown dwarf star that created Earth, Mars and later Venus. In order to put the story into context, I will make it abundantly clear that the framework will be based upon plasma physics and the existence of the aether. The Solvay Conference, founded by the Belgian industrialist Ernest Solvay in 1912, was considered a turning point in the world of physics. Located in Brussels, the conferences were devoted to outstanding open problems in both physics and chemistry. The most famous conference was the October 1927 Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons, where the world’s most so-called notable physicists met to discuss the newly formulated quantum theory. The leading figures were Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. “Settled Science” and “Consensus Science” began at this time and it is also the moment we stopped doing real physics in the 20th and 21st centuries. The bold theoretical and experimental era of physics, by the likes of Maxwell, at the very dawn of science, as we know it, ended abruptly at the start of the 20th Century. That was when our currently accepted, and very different, view of “physics”, everything from the “Big Bang” Expanding Universe Cosmology, to Relativistic limitations imposed by “flat” space and non-simultaneous time, complicated by a non-intuitive “Quantum Mechanics” of suddenly uncertain atomic “realities”, all took a very different turn from where they had been headed. The quantum theory discarded the basic physics principle of cause followed by effect. Einstein was disenchanted with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and created his own fatal damage when his “thought experiment” made-up the theory of relativity. He isolated his arbitrary observer from the rest of the universe, discarded the absolute standards of length and time, invented an imaginary proper clock that does not exist, removed the aether, and the effect of gravity became an illusion. Make sure you understand this was not done using any scientific method, i.e., observation, experimentation and replication, but by what became known as a “thought experiment”. Einstein should have kept his day job in the post office, as he has set physics, the so-called Queen of the Sciences back 100 years. This conference was also the culmination of the struggle between Einstein and the scientific realists, who wanted strict rules of scientific method as laid out by Charles Peirce and Karl Popper, versus Bohr and the instrumentalists, who wanted looser rules based on ‘expected’ outcomes, regardless of causes and effects. Starting at this point, the instrumentalists won, instrumentalism having been seen as the norm ever since. And that has been the insurmountable problem with science ever since, the loss of the scientific method and accepting causes without effects and conversely. These are all unforgivable losses to the great physicists of the past. We were propelled nearly 2,000 years into past to the Greek Ptolemaic era when geometric symmetry and mathematical beauty dictated that endless the ad-hoc epicycles be added to perfect circular planetary orbits in order to match appearances. That dogma lasted almost 1500 years. How long will we allow relativity dogma and its taboos to persist? It should be no surprise that since that fateful conference in 1927, science has failed to produce any fundamental breakthroughs anything like the 19th century, when some of the finest experimental physicists, such as Ampere, Gauss, Faraday, and Maxwell were discovering the secrets of electricity and electromagnetism. The electric universe and plasma physics and cosmology follows the lead of these experimenting electrical pioneers. According, I will also discard the “thought experiments” of Einstein and defer to real scientists, namely Tesla, Maxwell, Thornhill, and others, who long ago recognized that all perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, of a tenuity beyond conception and filling all space, the Akasha, or luminiferous aether, which is acted upon by the life-giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never ending cycles, all things and phenomena. This primary substance, thrown into infinitesimal whirls of prodigious velocity, becomes gross matter; the force subsiding, the motion ceases and matter disappears, reverting to the primary substance. The structure and nature is most likely a vortex, appearing like a donut from above or below. What I will attempt to present to you in the book, is the real story of our history and the real fact that we, and the universe and everything in it, is electric in nature. I will present facts and evidence that demonstrate that all religions, mystery schools, the Bible, and other religious books are nothing more than a rewritten and edited story of a solar system wide cataclysm. A story that was written, rewritten and edited to make it appear that Jewish people were the ‘Chosen People of God’, We will see that all the pyramids, especially those on the Giza Plateau were built as an energy gathering, converting and storing machines to try to save the Earth and Mankind from the electromagnetic perturbations caused by the Sirius System (the Sun’s binary twin) that occurs approximately every 24,000 years. The Great Pyramid was not a weapon, and certainly not a death star used to explode planets. There has been no atomic wars on Earth and no landings by ‘alien’ beings on Earth, nor on any other planet in our solar system. There is no Planet X and there is no Nibiru. The so-called ‘Planet of the Crossing’ is actually the star Sirius, the Sun’s binary twin. We will see that all the five visible planets, Saturn, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus and the two luminaries, the Moon and our current Sun, became the Gods, with several of them, coming down to Earth from the Heavens to write our history only a few thousand years ago. We will also see and understand that the vast amount of cratering and channels on all of the planets in our solar system are not the result of random meteor or comet strikes, wind or water erosion, but are the results of electrical arcing between planets that has scarred the surface of the planets and has been demonstrated and replicated, in exact detail, in plasma laboratories. We will examine the Exodus, within the context of the Earth in upheaval from a natural solar system-wide cataclysm, and how Akhenaton, Moses and the Ark are main characters in the event. We will also examine Mount Sinai and its real identity and location, as well as, the Sacred Stone(s), its use, who stole them, and why. This story does not depend on miracles or faith, but is based upon evidence, both ancient and current. It is our genuine history that has been kept from us in order to maintain control by those in power. If you can not see the truth in this story and you want to believe in religions or the current false, consensus or settled ‘science’, you must believe them in one of three ways: by faith; by ignorance; or by indoctrination: by faith, because you cannot believe something which does not have adequate scientific evidence except as a philosophical viewpoint; by ignorance, because the only way to be certain in your mind that these theories could work, is because you do not have all the facts; or, if you have been so far indoctrinated you have not made a logical conclusion with your own rational mind, you may have never even tried to question what you have been told to believe. You must decide for yourself what you will believe. If you decide to believe in today’s biblical religious myths or “consensus and settled pseudoscience of the quackademics and media”, that is fine, just realize that none are supported by true science using the Scientific Method. They are myths, and not even good ones, at that. Just remember, believing this nonsense and everything else the ‘authorities’ say is just what they want, i.e., no change in the status quo and leave the thinking to them.
