NASA Fakes Moon Landing!
Heroic images or NASA fraud? At last we have the conclusive proof! The image on the left clearly shows the supposed 25,000 of thrust generated by the lunar lander to arrest its descent. Yet in the image on the right, where is the giant crater this would have created? Looks like the complex web of NASA lies is about to unravel!

Frühjahrsputz im All
Tausende von Trümmerteilen in der Erdumlaufbahn bedrohen Raumfahrer und Satelliten. Um den Weltraumschrott zu beseitigen, plant die Nasa jetzt eine Art orbitale Müllabfuhr. Hier klicken! Die Satelliten wirken so bizarr wie ihr Auftrag. In der Erdumlaufbahn fahnden die "Schäfer" genannten Roboter nach umherschwirrenden Teilen von Weltraumschrott. Spüren sie zum Beispiel eine ausgebrannte Raketenstufe auf, schicken sie eine ihrer kleinen "Schäferhund"-Sonden los. Diese fängt das Trümmerstück mit einem Greifarm ein, bremst es dadurch ab und lässt es dann in Richtung Erde purzeln - dort verglüht der Schrott schließlich als eine künstliche Sternschnuppe.

Solving a 50-Year-Old Moon Mystery
NASA Backs Amateur Stargazer's Claim of Spotting Asteroid Crash. Back in the 12th century, monks in England claimed they saw a spectacular eruption of fire and hot coals on the crescent moon. Others have since made similar claims about mysterious lunar flashes. Professional space scientists have dismissed such amateur reports, saying there's no evidence the flashes related to anything happening to the moon itself. They say they may simply be meteors streaking past the moon. But now, a NASA researcher says at least one amateur astronomer was right. NPR's Vikki Valentine reports.

Astounding photo Mysterious purple streak is shown hitting Columbia 7 minutes before it disintegrated
Top investigators of the Columbia space shuttle disaster are analyzing a startling photograph -- snapped by an amateur astronomer from a San Francisco hillside -- that appears to show a purplish electrical bolt striking the craft as it streaked across the California sky. The photographer requested that his name not be used and said he would not release the image to the public until NASA experts had time to examine it.

NASA Removed Advisers Who Warned on Safety
After an expert panel warned that its space shuttles were facing safety troubles if the agency's budget was not raised, NASA removed five of the panel's nine members and two consultants in what some of them said was a move to suppress their criticism,

Columbia and IP
Operating Missions as Nodes on the Internet
OMNI is the first end-to-end demonstration of operating NASA missions as nodes on an IP (Internet Protocol) network utilizing existing technologies. OMNI demonstrates a new approach to mission design and operations and increases understanding of cost savings, benefits, and risks.
Jan 16, 2003: CANDOS lanuched aboard STS-107! Approximately 2 1/2 hours after launch, the CANDOS processor was powered up and successfully booted. Several successful ground station passes were completed on the first day, using mobile-IP to automatically establish a routing tunnel from the control center at GSFC to the appropriate groundstation. More information, data and pictures can be found in the CANDOS section of this website.

Oh man! Look at those spacemen go ...
The United States hopes to send an astronaut to Mars in a nuclear-powered rocket, according to a senior Nasa official. Under the space agency's ambitious plan, humans would be sent on a two-month journey to Mars in a spaceship travelling at three times the current speed of space travel.
President George Bush may announce the plan, named Project Prometheus, at his State of the Union address on January 28, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. It would commit the US to the exploration of Mars as a priority and herald the development of a nuclear-powered propulsion system. The first voyage could take place as soon as 2010.

It's been 30 years since we've been to the moon.
Apollo 17 marks 30th anniversary
The ultimate strangers in a strange land, travel-weary astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison "Jack" Schmitt huddled in their tiny Apollo 17 lunar lander, ate military-issue omelets, harmonized "good morning to you" and stumbled through a silly parody of The Night Before Christmas. The date was Dec. 14, 1972, the day America retreated from the moon.
