LISTEN HERE I WAS RECENTLY WATCHING SOME SATILITE MUMBO AND THEY TALK ABOUT ALL THE ASPECTS AND THAT STUFF. THEY HAVE SOME THAT ARE THE SIZE OF A HOUSE AND CAN STORE AND SEND ENOUGH INFO TO REPLACE MANY OF THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE IN SPACE TODAY FOR EACH ONE OF THESE.
NOW HERE IS THE THING THAT REALLY GOT ME. THIS DUDE GOES ON TO SAY "A PART OF THE WEATHER SATILITE IN SPACE NOW, THAT CAN PICK UP AND TRACK LIGHTNING AND WHERE IT STRIKES, REPORTS IT BACK TO US ON THE GROUND TO REPORTERS AND STUFF TAKES 10 MIN. WITH THIS NEW SUPER DUPER SATILITE NOT ONLY CAN IT TRACK LIGHTNING AND WHERE IT STRIKES BUT IT CAN PICK UP GUN SHOTS AND HAVE THAT INFO BACK TO THE GROUND IN 2-3 MIN AS OPPOSED TO 10. THAT IS CRAZY. THINK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU DRAG YOUR NEXT VICTIM INTO THE WOODS?

A FEW MONTHS BACK THEY WERE SHOWING THE DIFFERENT FACES(BODY DOUBLES) OF SADDAM ON THE NEWS. THEY WERE SAYING HOW THERE COULD BE AS MANY AS 5 SADDAM BODY DUMMIES. NOW THIS IS WHERE IT GETS CRAZY. WHERE DID THEY ALL GO. YOU HAVE FIVE COPIES OF ONE GUY. WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF TROOPS ALL LOOKING FOR THIS 1 GUY WHO COULD BE 5 FACES IN 5 DIFFERENT PLACES. BUT WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT WE DIDNT FIND COPY #1 OR 2 BUT WE FOUND THE REAL DEAL ORIGINAL.
DIFFERENT ISSUE BUT TOTALLY CRAZY. THEY PULLED A 97 YEAR OLD WOMEN OUT OF THE EARTH QUAKE RUBBLE IN IRAN. SHE WAS ONLY BURIED FOR 9 FLIPPIN DAYS.

About satellites: in college my prof spoke about these things being able to take aerial photographs of extreme detail. More than large area, down to a single cornstalk. I think this was before GPS went open, but that's what he beleived and maybe he was right? I am a little surprised that it takes ten minutes to relay info, that must be something on the ground that takes that long?
I had the same thought about the missing Saddam clones, where are these guys? He could have slain them to prevent them from passing along info, but he didn't do that to anyone else. Hard to believe these guys had superb Michael Jackson style make-up jobs; either they never looked like the dude to begin with or never existed. Maybe they did surrender? Never to be answered for sure!

I have been following this mars thing a little. Apparently the new rover that just landed is the size of a golf cart. They plan to land another one in a few weeks. This all soubnds great except the last thing they sent to mars missed the planet entirely and nasi is still trying to contact it. Thats not good.

Wasn't the most recent failure a British operation, or was it NASA solo-failure we lose again?
It's weird, within our lifetimes they will send actual people to the planet. Hard thought to get my head around. It hurts too much.

Yeah man,
The idea of actually sending humans to another planet is mind boggling. Its really amazing. But i gotta say that after all these years NASA's percentage of success is still not high enough for me to say its cool to send up humans. Theres like a good 1 in 3 chance they all die. Thats not fun. And the poeple that become astronauts are the smartest most talented people in the world. So it really is a big lose when they die. How bout testing it wih some criminals. Maybe send up Saddam.
The bad part about mars is how it looks. I mean the surface of the moon actually looks like a crazy alien enviroment where there might be monsters or things. But mars just looks like arizona. I dont want 1.5 billions in our tax dollars being used to send some dudes to arizona.
Finally the stuff that cracks me up is that the people at nasa know there aint no life up there. And no trace of it. But they have to perpatrate liek there might be so they can interest the government in giving them funds.
We just need to get nasa to the poit where they aquire their own funds through conquering other worlds.
WHAT?

Anyone else out there ever watch the Discovery channel program called Mythbusters. I think it is awesome. They test urban myths and legends with these two former movie stunt coordinators. They know their stuff and can replicate damn near any physical calamity imaginable. I like this very much.
For instance, they proved poppy seeds DO test positive for drugs, even days later. They also proved urine can conduct enough electric current to give you a heart-attack, but that the stream of urine is too narrow under normal conditions to present a solid stream to be a real threat.
CRAZY THINGS

THIS IS JUST THE CRAZIEST THING. IMAGINE AT TIME NOT SO LONG AGO WE SENT A CRAFT TO MARS MISSING THE BIGGEST TARGET EVER AMIED AT. I DONT KNOW THE NAME BUT LETS CALL IT RANGER. A $350 MILLION WASTE. THEN THE EUROPEANS(NOT A JOINT NASA EFFORT BUT EUROPEANS-NOW EVERY EUROPEAN I HEARD OF SET OUT TO A PLACE THEY NEVER FOUND BUT LANDED IN A FAR AWAY PLACE THEY JUST CALLED WHATEVER MAYBE THEY THOUGHT MARS WAS FLAT LIKE THE NEW WORLD?) LAUNCH ORBITER. ANOTHER $350 MILLION DOLLAR TIN CAN. THEY TOO FAIL TO REACH BOOF ON MARS.(KEEP LOOKING KEN THEY HAVE GOT TO BE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE.) NOW HERE IS WHERE IT GETS WIERD. WHILE EUR. WAITS FOR A SIGNAL FROM ORBITER WE LAND AND RECEIVE SIGNALS FROM ROVER.(THERE WAS NEVER ANY MENTION OF ROVER WHEN OUR 1ST $350 MIL RANGER MISSED THE PLANET. IT WAS CONSIDERED AN "EXPENSIVE LESSON WELL LEARNED AND DOCUMENTED".) SO ARE WE NOW PLAYING SPACE INVADERS? DID THE EUR. ORBITER PUT THE SMACK DOWN ON OUR RANGER TRYING TO GET TO MARS FIRST? DID WE SEND OUT THE BOOF SYMBOL TO OUR REINFORCMENTS(ROVER) WHO WAS WAITING IN SOME SECERT SHADOW OF THE MOON? DID ROVER DISABLE THE EUR. ORBITER AND CLAIM MARS FOR THE U.S.(ROB YOU TOOK MY ARIZONA THEORY) COULD THE U.S AND EUR. GOV'T BE LEADING A CONSPIRACY TO SECRETLY SPEND OUR MONEY AND JUST REALLY BE SHOWING US PICTURES OF SOME REMOTE PLACE INSIDE ARIZONA. WELL GENTELMEN NOT ONLY DO WE NOW HAVE TO WATCH OUR FRONTS AND EACH OTHERS BACK BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOU THIRD EYE IN THE SKY

AS YOU CAN SEE SOMETIMES I HAVE WAY TO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT THINGS. IM GLAD TO SEE IM NOT THE ONLY CRAZY MINDED PERSON. SO REMEMBER THE CRAZIER THINGS SEEM THE MORE THEY COULD BE TRUE.
IF YOU GET EVERY POINT OF VIEW FROM A STORY IT WOULD BE THE CRAZIEST THING YOU EVER HEARD WHEATHER TRUE OR NOT.

Hmmm.
Space exploration would be the best way to steal money. Would not suprise me. There still people who swear the first moon landing was faked.
I am all for exploring space and especially going to mars but we have so much other shit going on right now. I think my biggest problem is how much teachers get paid. For me i think there is now amount of money that is too much. Its a completely reciprical investment. This may seem simplistic but bear with me.
Teachers get paid more We get better teachers. Children are smarter and more graduates. More employment. Less unemployment. People are better at their jobs and make more money. Less poor means less crime. More money by more employed means more government tax revenues means more money all arround. For cops or soldiers or social security.
Yeah thats it. I say more money for teachers and make principles more like CEO's. Hack and slash management. Create productivity or move aside for the next guy.
So i've gone from mars to teachers.
