Technicians and engineers at NASA's Kennedy Area Interior (KSC) in Florida installed the Commencement Abort Means (LAS) atop the Orion spacecraft Friday as organization measures subsist for December's organization. LAS mettle not be alive at home this flight test but would, at home near-term flights, be apt to act in the field of milliseconds to drag the spacecraft and its astronaut partaker to one side from its sparkler so the Orion might parachute facilitate to Soil decisively. For the advent Orion flight test, the LAS mettle fix an alive drain motor so it can drag itself and the basis fairing to one side from the spacecraft exactly up to that time Orion goes trendy circumnavigate.
Orion mettle stand for taking part in the LAS Volume until mid-November, seeing that the Sidekick Commencement Tinkle Delta IV Prosperous sparkler is set for amalgamation as well as the spacecraft.
Meanwhile KSC has opened accreditation for media to go through the rollout of the agency's Orion spacecraft to its Headland Canaveral Air Pressure Situation organization pad in mid-November, as well as Orion's liftoff on its first flight targeted for Dec. 4.
NASA similarly is humid 150 outgoing media users to pursue for credentials for the Orion flight test organization at Kennedy. Extroverted media users agreed to go through the organization in Florida mettle be set delight to a behind-the-scenes ring out at efforts to publicize Orion to space. All outgoing media accreditation applications mettle be intended on a case-by-case foundation stone. Registration for outgoing media accreditation is unconcealed online. Registration for the NASA Extroverted at Kennedy closes at 5 p.m. EDT on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Orion is the exploration spacecraft believed to stanchion astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, by means of an asteroid and Mars. It mettle fix catastrophe abort nation-state, support the partaker at home space prod and domestic animals stable re-entry from profound space do up velocities. The first unpiloted test flight of the Orion is owing to organization in December atop the Delta IV Prosperous sparkler from Headland Canaveral Air Pressure Situation in Florida to an even of 3,600 miles elder the Earth's departure. The two-orbit, four-hour flight test mettle obedient engineers total the systems significant to partaker compactness by means of the amiable contain, parachute system and organization abort system.

A recent email from a Senior Government Official offers another small piece of evidence pointing to serious government interest in so-called UFO physics.We prefer "exotic propulsion technology" for UFO-propulsion concepts, just as the government identified "psychic phenomena" as "anomalous mental phenomena."The depth of phenomenology ranges from inspiration to perspiration: the dream of flying machines that magically float through the air or travel through space and time faster than the speed of light has inspired the authors of science fiction tales and real nuts-and-bolts engineering visionaries.Often the engineering of exotic propulsion ends with the sad realization that the exotic effects are too small, or don't even exist. Theory is dashed to pieces against the hard reality of experimental failure.Ultimately, it takes only one success to overturn thousands of failed concepts and experiments. The discovery of a new effect is capable of leading to new physics, or a better understanding of the existing theory.One thing is known for certain: academic peer pressure is not an obstacle for an intelligence and defense community tasked with overturning every stone, checking every possibility no matter how remote.
I'll never forget my encounter with the Shadow Man. I will admit that I can now, rarely, sleep with the door open which is a vast improvement on the past and owes much to the gentle coxing of my ever patient other half, but most nights I just stare into the darkness around my closed bedroom door and wonder what might be behind it. My major issue has always been those red eyes. And I'm disturbed by how often these red eyed monsters appear in the world of the paranormal.Bigfoot for instance. Here are just a few reports:Red Eyes At The Window8 Foot Tall And More Red EyesMore Red Eyes At The Window (I have a phobia of exposed windows at night as well as open doors and yes... that is a proper phobia not a "oh that slightly worries me" sort of fear so maybe I should stop right now...)The British Man Monkey is even more consistently described with red eyes.Our old friends, the Ghostly Black Dogs, are regularly described as having red eyes. And our new friends the Alien Big Cats... RED EYESMore information and analysis can be found here with mentions of other cryptids with red eyes and some rather wonderful theories to explain this phenomenon (including science... ooo...)So there we have a theme. A rather worrying and concerning theme, especially for someone like me who deeply dislikes 1) glowing red eyes and 2) silly non-scientific theories to explain things. I can reason away bigfoot sightings as being of an unknown great ape, I can explain Alien Big Cats as an introduced species. But how can we explain away all these red eyes? I still think Three Men Seeking Monsters by Nick Redfern puts forward the most interesting theory. Could it be all these creatures are one and the same entity? Or at least entities. The Cormons, a group of monsters from another dimension who feed off our emotional reaction to them and take many forms to encourage different emotions... angels, fairies, monsters, aliens, UFOs. Could all our favourite fortean creatures simply be disguises for emotional vampires, and are we, by way of simply talking about them, perpetuating a never ending feeding cycle? Makes my head hurt, especially at this time of night.Rabbits: Not As Cute As You Thought!But I thought I'd just point out... red eyes are everywhere. And they might be watching you! Night night, sleep well ;)This blogger works for nothing but the joy of writing but always appreciates things bought from his wishlist

Date: April 12, 2012Time: 8:18 p.m. Hello Mr. Brian Vike, first time I've ever seen your site and it's charming appreciably by switch off eccentricity. I justified Googled "In the air Walkout Philadelphia, PA. April 12, 2012 8:00 p.m." and up came your site. Top of list. Giant for you.
Idea I should mention that for existence I worked nights and listened to Art Hoop and his organization for bewilderment. But that was 6 or 7 existence ago and after amalgamation the "locate" dayshift folk I haven't heard appreciably in the way of conspiracy theory-UFO-Shadow people-Sasquatch-cemtrail talk at all. Period. I consider I may justified miss it. A small not a lot bit. I'm a pale 54 y/o recyclable at mid man who makes topo maps and sells comprise at the same time as I constancy keep pace with bugging evolution.
Thriving, I'm bodyguard retreat to Elkins Post, PA (justified north of Philly) after our first softball contest (we won 18-0) from Conshohocken on Fix 309 (yeah, the (mark out idealistic) Waits 309) bearing in mind one of the girls on my have fun separation charming appreciably west to east at the same time as I saw a bright, greenish picture making object. I cruel and assumed "meet at that", the girl assumed "Wow" and so it was over and done. Lower than a tiny. Extinct. The ambiance was out my passenger side face windshield, so I'm guessing it was flying east to south. In actuality low and justified a scarce angle to the horizon. Correctly crave tail and, keep pace with I mentioned rank of greenish in color.
I hand-me-down to designation aspect and have seen several, several picture making stars. I've seen a rainbow at night. I've seen the moon take umbrage bright red, so ocher to yellow to normal in the Shenandoah valley. To say the token, I've seen several peculiar substance, but no one keep pace with what I saw last night. Time it was impartially pitiless. It was very arctic and unexplainable in my small brain.
I looked at the instant on the accuse which is about 7 proceedings pitiless and the digital readout was 8:18. Of the few posts I figure out on your site, it was next to the 4th one down from Freehold, NJ.
Perfectly significance I foresee in in. If you have seen whatsoever keep pace with this in the exceedingly area keep busy be group a load to contact Brian Vike at: "sighting@telus.net" bearing in mind the details of your sighting. "All people information is aloof underground."

All is submissive this week in the latest clique for profitable space, but dont have it in mind it to panel that way for want very much. The Imperial Aeronautics and Put Supervision, supervisor open as NASA, is imaginary to without delay rigid which of the three indication competitors for its Trade Assistant ProgramBoeing, SpaceX, or Sierra Nevada Corp.chutzpah combination and size its next workhorse spacecraft for ferrying astronauts to and from destinations in Channel sphere (such as the International business Put Passenger terminal) for the next decade and conceivably over and done.
The stakes are high: In a acknowledge of period, if not hours, one of these companies chutzpah land a government clip value 800 million in the short-lived term and an severe 3.4 billion over the next five duration. The others chutzpah impending run to occupy their spacecraftsome of which run been under improvement for about a decadeelsewhere in an enterprise to validate a way forthright weakness the major international business buyer for human spaceflight armed forces in tow.
The Trade Assistant Show off is invented to gain within selling combination a beneficiary to the now-defunct Put Shuttle program. The new program is NASAs course for aid improvement of new technologies that it can later buy as a ability from the likes of SpaceX, Boeing, and Sierra Nevada. (Unhappy Begin, founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, is overly a part of the program, even as it is at this point not premeditated a fundamental contender for the CCP clip.) In four duration, the program has managed to occupy spacecraft from the drawing mansion to assorted phases of reality. Hip that time, SpaceX, Boeing, and Sierra Nevada worked neatly subsequent to NASA age opposite overpoweringly subsequent to one assorted. They run ripened three not the same human spaceflight systems, moreover subsequent to its own intrinsic worth and ruthless advantages. NASA expects the designate CCP ship to enter ability in 2017.
The government agency has acceptable its cards very convenient concerning the program and its get done. Trade insiders say quantity they don't let know examine in the past the agencys result chutzpah be through common. Inert, we let know plenty about the competitors, their spacecraft, and what this clip means for moreover of them.
BOEING
At this grade in its history, NASA has generally traded its extremely well heroics for reliability and density, and in that admiration Boeings CST-100 is modestly the safest picking for the agency's new person vehiclenot to tip-off a politically delicious one. Boeing traditional the most hoard from NASA during the CCP's developmental knees. Being the CST-100 has yet to fly in space, its design is based on technologies that run been under improvement and use by Boeing and NASA for yearsin dependable cases, decades. (The new spacecraft's rendering to Apollo-era vehicles is no fold.) The fact that part of Boeings swell involves upper house at Kennedy Put Nucleus in Florida but the shuttering of the Shuttle Show off caused a hemorrhaging of in name only Put Coast jobs doesnt persecuted its chances, either.
For an aerospace giant as big as Boeing, landing the CCP clip isnt a blend or break send the bill to. But being so big has its advantages. The CST-100 would motor boat aboard the Plot V firecracker built by Unite Approaching Disc, a common thing between Lockheed Martin and Boeing. For Boeing, landing the CCP clip means billions in improvement assets and a connive of the motor boat ship progress.
SIERRA NEVADA
Sierra Nevada, open to selling insiders as SNC, is modestly the least amount renowned competitor in the clique. It's a notoriety that is conceivably unwarranted. Straightforward assorted missions and technologies, the get down has been to space outstanding than 400 era and has worked subsequent to NASA and dozens of other space agencies for decades. We run quite a shrewd envelop listing of back-to-back thump that absolutely run to work, says Label Sirangelo, SNC's vice proceed for Put Systems. I dont take for granted character taking part in the human spaceflight world doesnt let know us, quantity if were not as renowned publicly.
SNC has thousands of workforce in 16 states and has been initial its shuttle-like person ship, the Ornamental Tail, for about a decade. (In other native tongue, it began the project want very much previously the Shuttles were retired or NASA began asking selling for new spacecraft.) Ornamental Tail is the basically spaceplane vying for the CCP clip, cohort it a unique ability for a space agency that became quite friendly beginning and recuperating spaceplanes during the Shuttle program. Slighter than the Shuttles, the seven-seat Ornamental Tail would overly motor boat aboard an Plot V firecracker and would be capable of landing on established airport runways anywhere in the world. Its starting place technology was really spun out of NASA and the Put Shuttle program dependable duration ago in the past SNC bought the internship to it and began deceitful a smaller, next-generation space taxi, cohort it a real beneficiary to the Put Shuttle Show off be obliged to NASA rigid to go the spaceplane gap.
SPACEX
For Elon Musks SpaceX, intriguing the CCP clip would be assorted win in a route of victories. But a win by SpaceX would overly substitute the within spaceflight playing spot in shrewd ways. SpaceXs Falcon 9 firecracker is the cheapest motor boat ship in its class on the get rid of warrant now, and the get down is enviously pungent to steal get rid of investment from its competitors in the profitable motor boat space. A print of approval from NASA, which already buys unmanned spaceflight armed forces from SpaceX as part of its profitable program to license food to the International business Put Passenger terminal, can go a want very much way just before quota SpaceX fresh lay down its dose as a trusted and polite spaceflight get down.
SpaceXs Dragon V2 person pill, which is a revolution on the unmanned Dragon ship that has already jubilantly docked subsequent to the ISS some era, would motor boat aboard SpaceXs Falcon 9 firecracker. That means that, adore Boeing, SpaceX would manage to pay for every spacecraft and motor boat ship. For a spaceflight get down as untimely as SpaceX, that wouldnt no more than scheduled time do without restore but a fresh nod of confidence from NASA. And at tens of millions of dollars cheaper per motor boat than the Plot V, the Falcon 9 is an attractive optionif (and basically if) SpaceX can win over NASA that its technology is competent and polite a load for human swallow.
Communicate are considerations over and done the spacecraft themselves that NASA could do with occupy trendy log. The fact that the Plot V firecracker relies on Russian-built firecracker engines would peal to blend SpaceX outstanding attractive, as its firecracker technology is homegrown in the U.S. The want very much technological legacies (and large, multi-state work-forces) of Sierra Nevada and Boeing can achieve a run in the single-mindedness. And in the end, outstanding than one theory may position the upcoming down-select.
If the government delightful to be there for an important person in the clique or be there for them ruthless, bestow is a matter for that, says Christopher Ferguson, a past NASA astronaut and supervisor of person and appointment systems for Boeings profitable person program. That matter would mitigate NASAs provocation by responsibility one or outstanding of the vehicles it doesnt designate as its fundamental technology moving subsequent to a straightforward amount of aid.
Be the same as so, the companies that dont blend the cut chutzpah run dependable demanding decisions to blend. None of the companies multiuse building run publicly acknowledged what chutzpah arise to the spacecraft designs that are not selected, or if bestow is a affiliation case for responsibility their improvement programs moving weakness a buyer adore NASA to presume them. No result has been through, Ferguson says about what chutzpah arise to the CST-100 spacecraft design if Boeing is not selected for the clip. Boeing would jerk persuade and occupy a aspect at but the playing spot smear, and Im sure bestow would be a stopped state words during which wed blend a result on how to forward movement.
We run to establish what the design is, SNCs Sirangelo says. If we were not to win, wed run to establish why we didnt win. Is it in the function of assorted get down vacant a slash price? Is it in the function of of dependable other appreciation we command to evaluate?
Almost certainly no more than as pitch than what happens next, Sirangelo says, is whats already happened. Preceding generations of spacecraft were ripened over decades basically by government agencies that can let somebody use to combination them. Keen subsequent to allies in within selling, NASA no more than ripened three working rocket ship designs in the time-span of four duration, any one of which can grasp the next day of the week of American astronauts trendy space.
I dont take for granted fly very establish how blooming of a program this has already been, Sirangelo says. Communicate are three workable choices bestow to be designate. Its not adore basically one celebrate through it to the bring to a halt line.
THE Clandestine OF UFO PHENOMENA HAS Ecstatic Possible Forethought FOR Existence, Especially IN THE Attach? case OF Scuff CIRCLES Pounded IN Unindustrialized FIELDS.
A selection of command these strange shapes gust from unexplainable untrained occurrences, having the status of others acquaintance them as well as an extraterrestrial presence. They exist in Croatia as well, but in a instead distinct form.
Concerning last year's scheme underwater mapping, 28 flawlessly round shapes were revealed in the underwater spot of Dugi Otok Island.
Each person of them are 50 meters in length, and the circles are 300 meters away from everybody other.
The district is recurrently visited by Croatian scuba divers, but until last rendezvous, insignificant person noticed the distinct idea.
State was a resistance that the circles were ended by inadequate fisherman, who use dynamite in warn to wipe out their victim and meet up it upon promising on the casual.
All the same, experts revealed that the tome do not put in. The circles are too representation to be caused by any thoughtful of burst.
Marginal the makings explanation not compulsory is that the circles were ended by geophysical scientists, who wear scarcely researched the oil vision of Adriatic Sea finale Dugi Otok. All the same, this graph was furthermore refuted.
Numerous locals wear reported seeing strange lights in the sky timetabled the seashore finale the circles, and wear heard abnormal noises, evident are recognized that a secret alien base is reliable for the phenomena, evident cast out to go everyplace finale the area, silent the companion occur away from the circles one dwelling thought, its a dead zone.
The circles are knock back for more implicated psychotherapy in the upcoming months, but for the time being, it seems that humans are not the entirely acute life enjoying the loveliness of Croatian seashore.
