Forget Bush being a traitor. Forget him being a madman. If anyone is worried about illegal aliens how about illegal aliens from outerspace. For this is what Bush and his right wing buddies seem to be. Ask the Scientologists! These malicious invaders from outerspace seem bent on destroying our home planet. Arrest Bush. Deport him and his friends back to Mars.
All mention of the planet earth has been removed from Bush's Klingon-run NASA mission statements.

From 2002 until this year, NASA’s mission statement, prominently featured in its budget and planning documents, read: “To understand and protect our home planet; to explore the universe and search for life; to inspire the next generation of explorers ... as only NASA can.”In early February, the statement was quietly altered, with the phrase “to understand and protect our home planet” deleted. In this year’s budget and planning documents, the agency’s mission is “to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.”
David E. Steitz, a spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said the aim was to square the statement with President Bush’s goal of pursuing human spaceflight to the Moon and Mars.
Some of the right wing clowns brought in to turn NASA into soupcon of space cadets out to conquer the universe make fun of me on their own websites. But what do they say about this? Eh? I predicted that Bush, being a malign fake human with some sort of alien parasitical life form squirming in his large intestines, would actively plot to destroy Planet Earth.
And the mission to Mars is merely a front for this operation. Is Bush so eager to get to Mars because he and his fellow coaca-maniacs have to get back to their home base after eliminating all life forms here?
If they are so eager to flee, I strongly suggest we humans help them and anyone else addicted to killing lots of humans, build them an ark de triumph and shoot it to Mars and good riddance to bad trash.
Several NASA researchers said they were upset that the change was made at NASA headquarters without consulting the agency’s 19,000 employees or informing them ahead of time.Though the “understand and protect” phrase was deleted in February, when the Bush administration submitted budget and planning documents to Congress, its absence has only recently registered with NASA employees.
Mr. Steitz, the NASA spokesman, said the agency might have to improve internal communications, but he defended the way the change was made, saying it reflected the management style of Michael D. Griffin, the administrator at the agency.
“Strategic planning comes from headquarters down,” he said, and added, “I don’t think there was any mal-intent or idea of exclusion.”
Griffin reminds me of my limo driver at my daughter's wedding. The lights are going out and he drives ahead.
This man is a malicious idiot. I have no Alzheimer's so I remember when he lied and said to all the NASA staff that his office door would always be open and he would consult them all before making vast changes like removing mention of the best, most important planet in all the many galaxies in the universe, my home planet, incidentally, and talk only about Mars. Mars is, like this stupid man's brains, a sterile, dead planet.
I would dearly love to ship Griffin there, one way. Cheney gets shipped to Pluto. With Anne Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.
But it would be far cheaper to arrest them all.
Heh. I knew the Space 'Kid'ettes would link to my dear blog!
Listen, little boys, you want to go to Mars? If you pick up enough cans on roadsides, you could build your own rockets and go there.
Asking us earthlings to ignore this planet so you can return home is not on my own agenda and I have noticed little desire on the street to go to Mars.
Auf nicht wiedersehen!

About - oh - 35 years ago I was engaging in one of many arguments with my then arch-foe, my sister's first husband, a very intelligent technocrat. His response to my questions about environmental degradation? "Technology will solve the problem."
He was completely sincere, too.
Since that time, he has been buffeted about career-wise on account of technology. Let's see. He worked for Wang, another defunct super tech company long forgetten, data processing departments of major companies, ... He was on the leading edge of the tech revolution - now you see it, now you don't. Poof! Lost in space.
We did agree on the value of space exploration, however. He didn't want to pay for it, of course, being a die-hard R.
Broken robots. All of them.

I really want a space colonization program for them. Like in Heinlein's 'A Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.' Get evolution to work on these bean heads.

Nice, thoughtful reply, Elaine. MarsBlog eviscerates your Chicken Little post with facts and links, and the best you have to offer in response is your threadbare ad-hominem about your space critics being teen boys living in mom's basement?
Besides demonstrating your intellectual laziness, it looks pretty silly for you to make that particular swipe. You have a habit of basking in the reflected glow of your father's achievements as if they somehow imparted value on you, living as it were in the basement of your father's reputation. Hypocrite, much?

I have credit and destinctions in senior high school certificate examination in science,now currently prepairing to enter into the university to study physics and astronomy.
I am working on developing researches in space exploration, through my observations I sets questions, astronomy as well as all other fields of science as develop through a series of discoveries. since I am very alert and inquisitive I use my senses to observe what is happening around me and the universe itself.
How I make my discovereies,from a given set of observations I saw a certain pattern, this often leads to a problem which I will try to solve and put forward a reasonable question to ask, and also carry out some experiments,records and make intelligent inferences.
I ve made so many research in so many questions I will love to ask to acquire more knowledge about the (cosmos) which is an orderly harmonious systematic universe in astronomy including our planet earth.
I just have to give a little biography about myself before I commence in taking any step to ask any question in astronomy and space exploration,
Hope to enjoy a good relationship with you in space exploration,
Thanks a lot love to hear from you soon.
Kind regard

Your question on weightlessness is a good one. Spacecraft stay in orbit because of the counterbalance of centripetal force moving it away from the planet it revolves around and the pull of gravity down toward the planet. This works for Earth, the Moon and all others. However the people within the spacecraft do not feel these pulls. They feel like there is no pull at all. Since all of the forces are balanced, they feel just like they would if they were falling all of the time. In fact, they feel just as you could if you in an elevator cage was dropped from a great height. The people inside would have a fun time playing around inside, at least until the sudden stop when it hit the ground. The Shuttle or other satellites are essentially falling around the Earth.
If you wish to look more deeply into this problem, check out this web site: http://octopus.gma.org/surfing/sats.html#stay They have a lot of good and simple demonstrations.

Your question is a very good one and one that is of interest to many people. We will use the Space Shuttle orbiter to explain your answer.
Why do astronauts float in space? The answer is simple. The Space Shuttle orbiter falls in a circular path about Earth. Because the orbiter, astronauts, and all the contents of the orbiter (foods, tools, cameras, etc.) are falling together, they seem to float in relation to each other. This is comparable to the imaginary situation that would take place if the cables supporting a very high elevator would break, causing the car and its passengers to fall to the ground. (In such an example, we have to discount the effects of air friction on the falling car.) Since the motion of the falling car and the passengers are relative to each other, the people inside seem to float.
Free-fall, weightlessness, zero-G (zero-gravity), or microgravity are all names that apply to the floating effect of astronauts in orbit. Space researchers prefer to use the term microgravity because it better represents the actual conditions of Earth orbit. Thus, even though free-fall simulates the absence of gravity, very small (micro) gravitational forces are still detectable.
The second half of your question deals with astronauts on the moon.
One of the common questions asked to the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas is "Where is the room where a button is pushed and gravity goes away so that astronauts float?' No such room exists because gravity can never be made to go away. If we were to establish a lunar base camp, it would enable us to take advantage of the many special properties of the moon; i.e., the 1/6th gravitational field and the native resources, and use it has as a testing ground for future missions to Mars. So, although the gravitational forces on the moon are not as great as those on Earth, there is a force that keeps humans from floating away from the surface. However, since the gravitational pull is far less than on Earth, astronauts do things like jump higher and hit golf balls farther.
thats it.

Many cultures have stories describing the origin of the world, which may be roughly grouped into common types. In one type of story, the world is born from a world egg; such stories include the Finnish epic poem Kalevala, the Chinese story of Pangu or the Indian Brahmanda Purana. In related stories, the creation is caused by a single entity emanating or producing something by his or herself, as in the Tibetan Buddhism concept of Adi-Buddha, the ancient Greek story of Gaia (Mother Earth), the Aztec goddess Coatlicue myth, the ancient Egyptian god Atum story, or the Genesis creation myth. In another type of story, the world is created from the union of male and female deities, as in the Maori story of Rangi and Papa.

Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities nad doubt the opportunities.
