      Yes, where is the nice, neat spacestation we see all the time on sci -fi movies, sigh!

      No, Hal computer either?

      There laptops probably liaison with a mainframe on Earth?

        Space station? Where are we going to go?

        I think the last people we sent out there on a space mission never came back.

        I wonder if they are dead.

          This is so cool. I can't get enough of the videos (and our super-cute tour guide.)

          Us humans are capable of doing some pretty amazing things when we want to.

          That's the spirit!

          But, they did have a supply issue for a while with Russian unmanned rockets blowing up all the time, but that is fixed now.

          The spacestation is also a hub for the up to 3 spacecraft the US has, and we aren't supposed to know about.

          An amateur astronomer pulled his telescope apart and put it back together so he could see the Spacestation up close.

          He witnessed several giant craft docking with it. Giant meaning comparative scale to the ST.

          But l might be wrong and it could just be some aliens paying a visit, or a flock of seagulls?

            If we are seriously going to do this, why not do something useful like create a centralised satellite for telecommunications.

              Sorry couldn't resist, he, he!


              Because it would cost billions and there is no profit, as well as p*** off ISP providers!

              Besides sociopaths have to keep a third of the world in abject poverty, how else can they keep funding their 10 mansions in Dubai or the Caribbean with staff, and live it up!

              As well as continue to allow electricity to go up indefinitely and have pensioners get cut off, and have to rely of fireplaces and candles.

              And they certainly need big bucks to buy all the patents for magnetic power systems and keep a lid on it.

              At least for now!

                This is all moving too slow though. I feel like I am living in the time of the telegraph and know for a fact I will be long dead by the time we do something like in the sci-fi movies.

                Bummer.

                  Why Mars One will NEVER get off the ground | Daily Mail Online

                  Hmmm, maybe!

                  I know that this report knocks it, but the point is they will launch an independent rover to Mars within 5 years, (well three if you take the stationary one into account).

                  Once this happens then it will be Viking all over again, except this time no, BS!

                  If they find green stuff on the rocks and an oxygen atmosphere of 20 or higher then it is a slam dunk.

                  NASA will stall their Mars mission til they are in a corner?

                  I have found Curiosity images of water on Mars, (or a clear liquid for skeptics) but why don't we see this on front pages of Newspapers????

                  Not, even a skeptic can answer that one!


                  So we might have concrete proof within 5 years, then NASA will finally be dragged through the courts and the truth will be made available, well some!
