VOYAGERS TRAVELS

 (6) Voyager 1 has now left our solar system! The news we have been waiting all year to hear has finally been announced, Voyager 1 has entered interstellar space.




Scientists claim Voyager 1 entered interstellar space more than a year ago. Study claims Voyager 1 left the heliosphere around the 25th of August 2012. The reason for the delay in the announcement was because they wanted to be certain, all the data needed to be checked. After careful analysis, scientists are confident that Voyager 1 has left our solar system and is now the first mission to explore interstellar space, the space between our star and the next. Interstellar simply meaning in between stars.

CROP CIRCLES . . . . Here lies the TRUTH

 

(5) I have always had an interest in crop circles ever since I was a little girl, they were so pretty. Now I am older and have looked into the meaning of these crop circles, I am even more intrigued by them. Are these images made by something from outer space? Are they messages? The answer to both of these questions is yes! Yes they are made from something or someone not of this planet and yes they are messages, that we are getting very good at interpreting. When I started looking at the evidence I was amazed and you will be too.

UFOs IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE . . .

 

Nashville 1989
(4) UFOs, Unidentified flying objects!!  We all presume when we hear the word UFO that it must be extraterrestrial, but as we all actually know, it just means Unidentified!   Or does it?   From looking into the phenomena of UFOs, I have found a startling amount of evidence to suggest we have been visited by extraterrestrial UFOs for a very long time.

When UFO sightings are reported, the majority of them can be explained, but there are about 29% of sightings that cannot be explained.  Most of these reported sightings come from pilots, astronauts, and cosmonauts.  Why would we disbelieve them?  These people are very highly educated, they are not attention seekers or mentally disturbed in any way.  So why don't these reports get taken seriously?  I don't know the answer to that, I can only presume that until you see a UFO with your own eyes then it can be hard to take the word of someone else.  The reports probably are believed, but what can anyone do!  I suppose it's a case of, "Thank you for reporting it, there's nothing we can do so we'll now file it away!" The X Files comes to mind.   Believe this though,  there are a lot of X files out there, some of which I will talk about here and if you are not a believer already, you will be after reading this blog, if you are still a non-believer then you are one of those people who will only believe it when an alien comes up to you and taps you on your shoulder and says "Hi Earthling".

THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAMME

Endeavour
(3) The Shuttles or Orbiters as they are officially known, were designed as the first re-usable orbital spacecraft for carrying crews and various payloads into low-earth-orbit, capable of a wide range of missions before returning to earth. The Orbiter is basically a space-plane that is able to launch using rocket assistance and maneuver as needed in orbit before re-entering the earth's atmosphere to land like a glider. Early missions included the Spacelab series jointly funded by several European nations and many satellite launches. Their most recent achievements include helping build the International Space Station which has taken more than 10 years and is now virtually complete. There is one more mission to the ISS, Atlantis, scheduled for the 8th July 2011; this will be the last shuttle mission ever. A very sad moment for all involved.

There were 6 shuttles altogether, the first being Enterprise which took off from the back of a Boeing-747 cargo plane in 1977. Columbia was the first shuttle to take-off with a rocket from the launch pad in 1981. In 1983 Challenger first launched, followed by Discovery in 1984 and Atlantis in 1985 but in 1986 disaster struck, Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into the flight because an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster (SRB) failed at liftoff. Sadly, all 7 crew members were killed.

BRICK MOON


(2) The Brick Moon is a short story written by an American man called Edward Everett Hale in the 19th century. It is the first known fictional description of an artificial satellite. The story is written as if it were a journal. It describes the construction and launches into the orbit of a sphere, 200 ft. in diameter, built of bricks. It was intended as a navigational aid for ships but is accidentally launched with people aboard. It also provides the first known fictional description of a space station.

Here is the short story called:-

TIME TRAVEL


(1) Time travel, everybody would love to time travel, if it were possible. Go back, maybe change a few things, sounds like science fiction but what if it wasn't, what if it could be done. Well, I think it can be done, we just need the means to do it. The ideas of how to time travel are out there but turning those ideas into a reality are going to prove to be a bit difficult, to say the least, but let's look at ways that we could time travel if we had the means to do so.

There are a number of theories on how it could be possible to time travel, one of those theories is to travel at the speed of light or near to the speed of light. From what I have learnt about physics and the laws of physics, which I may add is next to nothing but from what I gather, the laws of physics will not allow anything to travel faster than the speed of light. Why this is so I do not know but at some point, I will find out and when I do I will blog the reasons why but for now let's assume my facts are correct and it is only possible to travel up to 99.9% of the speed of light, a cosmic speed limit will prevent you from going faster.

In order to have some comprehension of the speed of light think about these examples:- If you had two people standing side by side and another person standing a distance away, down the road lets say (the distance away is irrelevant in this example). One person has hold of a torch and switches it on to shine a light in the face of the person down the road, if you can get to that person before the light from the torch reaches that person's face, then you have travelled faster than the speed of light.
