Blue Origin’s “Road to Space”

3/24/2020

Historical Background
 
The US Government first funded roadways through the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, and began an effort to construct a national road grid in 1921. After Dwight D. Eisenhower became president in 1953, his administration developed a proposal for an interstate highway system, eventually resulting in the passage of the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956. Construction of the Interstate Highway System was proclaimed complete in 1992. 1
 
In fact, its official name is the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.  The word “Defense” is critical in this regard.  Although little-recognized now, Eisenhower, being a retired five-star, US Army general, was primarily concerned with the inability — in 1952 — to efficiently transport large quantities of troops and supplies across the poorly-developed, US highway system.  His objective was to be able to deliver a “heavy-lift” capability for defense materials to any part of the continental US during a national crisis.  Of course, what developed is today’s Interstate Highway System. 
 
Jeff Bezos’ and Blue Origin
 
“We are not in a race, and there will be many players in this human endeavor to go to space to benefit Earth. Blue's part in this journey is building a road to space with our reusable launch vehicles, so our children can build the future. We will go about this step by step because it is an illusion that skipping steps gets us there faster. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.”
      
                                                                                          Blue Origin.com
 
Jeff Bezos may be the founder of Amazon.com, but he now has a much more significant mission than selling kitchen toasters, office furniture and baby wipes over the Internet.  Bezos is literally shooting for the Moon and building future, long-term, human settlements in space.  In a manner similar to building the interstate highways, Bezos clearly intends to go slowly and smoothly, much as President Eisenhower’s highway system that took 40 years to construct and complete.
 
Bezos’ objective is: “Millions of People Living and Working in Space.  Blue Origin’s vision is a future where millions of people are living and working in space. In order to preserve Earth, our home, for our grandchildren’s grandchildren, we must go to space to tap its unlimited resources and energy. If we can lower the cost of access to space with reusable launch vehicles, we can all enable this dynamic future for humanity.” 2
 
Blue Origin is in the process of developing a fleet of partially-reusable, launch vehicles and rocket engines to loft scientific, commercial and military payloads into space. The importance of reusability is the cost of access to space.  Right now, Blue Origin is in the process of developing a fleet of launch vehicles known as New Shepard and New Glenn as well as a Moon lander vehicle called Blue Moon.  The first two vehicles are named after two members of the original Mercury 7 astronauts, the late Alan Shepard and John Glenn.  The term “Blue Moon” has commonly been used to mean “never” or “rarely,” but that doesn’t seem to be appropriate in this context [!].  New Shepard is currently taking payloads to space and will soon carry astronauts. New Glenn's heavy-lift capabilities will bring crew, passengers and payloads to low Earth orbit. These next-generation launch vehicles are powered by their family of high-performance, reusable rocket engines.  In this sense, Blue Origin is focused on developing an infrastructure for the creation of human spaceflight capabilities.  In this way, they are building that “road to space” — a road so that our “children and grandchildren can build the future.”

​October 7, 1972
 
Case 105586: On January 15, 2020, a 62-year old witness-abductee reported a bizarre event that took place in 1972.  Living in Greenville, Mississippi, at that time, he was 10 years old and his brother was 15.  They first sensed turbulence in the air while they were doing chores in their backyard; and, looking up, they saw the image of a “static disguise” . . . “revealing the flat bottom” of a 100-feet diameter saucer about 35 feet above them.  There as a “tingling sensation like a strong static charge” and a solid metal-against-metal sound.  “A panel opened to reveal the inner workings of the craft.   There were clear, gas-filled tubes filled with electrical discharges, and it appeared that the gas was being released, like [refrigerant] gas [such as the equivalent of freon].”  There was a series of square windows with rounded corners that could “darken quickly” and a blue and a red light on the base of the saucer.  The was a very large “exhaust” in the bottom center of the craft. There was a “metal pole [at the] center of [the] saucer.”  There were 25 to 30 “engravings” [glyphs] on the side of the saucer apparently representing star chart references.

SpaceX’s Grand Plan

3/20/2020

Historical Background
 
In 1862, President Lincoln determined that the existing railroad network from Iowa should be extended to the Pacific coast at San Francisco.  Then, California Governor Leland Stanford (founder of Stanford University), Charles Crocker (a founder of Central Pacific Railroad), Collis Huntington (railroad builder) and Mark Hopkins (a founder of Central Pacific Railroad) answered the call. Known as the “Big Four,” they proposed to build the connecting rail line primarily funded by the US Government.  Investing relatively little funds of their own and using a great deal of persuasion, a deal was struck.  The operators were to be Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads.  As an incentive, the Big Four received the rights to the land under the rail line and extending out 20 miles on each side.
 
Elon Musk and the “Railway to the Stars”
 
What is Elon Musk’s grand plan?  Elon Musk, the Chief Executive of SpaceX, plans to populate our Solar System.  [That sentence should probably be followed by at least one exclamation mark. In truth, this is no joke.]  Musk, who became an overnight billionaire on his website, PayPal, plans to populate the Solar System, starting with the Red Planet, Mars.
 
Musk plans to design and build a spaceship, what he calls the BFR — “Big Falcon Rocket.”  Musk unveiled a slightly scaled-down BFR on September 29, 2017 at the International Astronautical Conference in Adelaide, Australia.  Musk’s stated plan is that the spaceship component would transport people on point-to-point suborbital flights or on missions to the Moon or Mars.

9-Year Old Boy Traumatized by "Zetas"

Case 89211: In Clinton, Tennessee, in 1994, a nine-year boy had just finished his Saturday night shower.  As his mother was working, he was staying for the weekend with his grandparents.  He wanted to play, so he went to fetch his tub of toys.  He walked down the hallway, he had a paralyzing fear that something or someone was watching his every move.  His bedroom was at the end of the hall, but the boy had to pass by the study, the room that created the sense of fear.  The hallway and the study were both dark.  The boy walked slowly to the doorway of the study and looked inside at the window. There was a street light illuminating the exterior. There were two faces looking through the window into the study staring at the boy.  The two faces were what are now called Grays or “Zetas.” 1  One of the Grays was at least four feet tall and the one to the right was five to six feet tall.  The taller being had a smaller head and a long, thin neck.  The being on the right had an unusual mannerism and would look very slowly from one side to the other as if it were searching from something or someone else in the room.  Then, a third, long-necked Gray appeared to the left of the short Gray and pressed his face to the window pane.  The witness just stood there in shock and disbelief with with his tub of toys in hand.  He was less than 20 feet away from the three Gray beings.

the "Gipper-Gorby" Outer Space Pact

3/10/2020

In the April 24, 2009 issue of The Christian Science Monitor, comes an article about Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan when they were attending the 1985 Lake Geneva Summit.  In the article written by Jimmy Orr, Gorbachev and Reagan’s Secretary of State George Schultz were interviewed by Charlie Rose. Rose covered a number of topics relating to the Summit conference that occurred 24-years earlier. The two leaders struck up an unexpected personal relationship during the Summit and had private talks in a local cabin.
 
According to the Monitorthe following conversation took place:

​Schultz: “I wasn’t there . . .” [Gorbachev then interrupted unexpectedly]

Gorbachev: “From the fireside house, President Reagan suddenly said to me, ‘What would you do if the United States were suddenly attacked by someone from outer space?  Would you help?’  I said, ‘No doubt about it.’  He said, ‘We too.’  So, that’s interesting,”  [Gorbachev wholeheartedly laughs.]  “I’m sorry for having interrupted you, but it was an interesting moment.”

Dual CE3 Incidents of the Historic Kind

3/6/2020

1 Comment

 
Picture
Cases 89087 and 89088: These reports cover two, separate, CE3 events by the same individual: Case 89088 occurred in 1966 when the male witness was just eight years old.  He reported Case 89087 about a 1974 event that “transformed his reality.” Both events took place in Enfield, Connecticut, and in both cases the witness claimed that he had communication with the same occupant(s) or operator(s) of the UFOs.
 
FIRST INCIDENT
 
May 1966; 8 PM
 
Case 89088:  The witness was lying in bed reading a science book about spaceflight.  His bedroom window overlooked a vacant lot of about one-half acre.  He could watch aircraft take off and land at Bradley Field (now Bradley International Airport).  He claims that at that age he was a “model plane builder and aircraft junkie,” and could easily identify various aircraft types. 
 
The following are his comments:
 
“I’m not sure why I looked up from the book, but I saw a craft about 20 feet [off the ground] and perhaps 100 feet away (see sketch).  In a moment, it shrunk to a small red dot, then disappeared.  My next thought was, ‘Where did you go? Are you coming back?’  Somewhere in the back of my head I heard the words, ‘We will be back later.’  Being an impatient eight-year old, I asked, ‘When?’ and got no answer.  I immediately called my parents in, told them what I saw and asked them if they had seen a spacecraft.  My Mom told me there is no such thing and that I must have seen an airplane.  She took the book away and told me she hoped I wouldn’t have any bad dreams.  She was convinced my imagination was working overtime.  My Dad wasn’t so sure.  I checked the window every night for several weeks and saw nothing except airplanes.  I even told some of my friends.  At least they believed me.”
 
The witness described the oval craft as four feet in diameter, having windows, no sound or emissions.  The silver-blue craft descended, hovered, ascended and then simply disappeared.  It had a small, white cupola, and there was a dull orange glow on the bottom of the craft.  The event took approximately five minutes. Case Disposition: Unknown
 
SECOND INCIDENT
 
March 15, 1974; 10:15 PM
 
Case 89087: The following witness testimony tells the whole story:
 
“In mid-March 1974 on a Friday evening around 10:15 PM, I was returning home from a friend’s house.  My Dad and I planned to fly our radio control planes the next morning, so I wanted to get home somewhat early.  I stopped at a three-way intersection near an open field and a farmhouse.  The roads around the area were originally cow paths and wandered through open fields and new developments.  I saw some lights off to my right about 1,000 feet away.  They didn’t seem to be following the natural curve of the road.  I had just got my driver’s license four months earlier, and didn’t want to take any chances, so I waited.  The next instant, I realized this was no car.  It came to within 300 feet of my car at an altitude of 100 feet and hovered.  I was silvery-blue, like steel looks after being exposed to heat.  It had a faint orange glow appearing from its underside [as in Case 89088].  I estimated the craft to be 25 feet in diameter and 10 feet high.  I stared at it for a few seconds and watched it move rapidly towards me at the same height.  I expected to see it outside my driver’s side window as it moved past, but it was gone.  Somehow, I had to find it.  I opened the window, looked straight up, and there it was, right above me.  Its color was now more of a dull silver-red.  I could not see the entire craft, only the first one-third of the circle.  Someone told me to get my head back inside the car and close the window.  I was alone in the car, and no one else was outside.  Then, I noticed a green glow surrounding all the controls of the car.  This glow outlined the shapes for about one-half inch in all directions.  My head was facing forward, but I couldn’t move it to any other position.  The best that I could do was to force my eyes to look down at the clutch, brake and gas pedals.  I was surprised to see the same green glow around them, even though they should have been hidden from any light beam from above by the instrument panel.  I tried to put the car in gear and get away, but I had little movement of my arms and could not move the shift lever more than one inch.

Who Will Be First: SpaceX or JPL?

3/6/2020

8 Comments

 
Picture
MARCH 5, 2020 - Today, Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, a NASA Associate Administrator, announced that the Mars 2020 rover will be named Perseverance.  NASA's next Mars rover won't just explore the Red Planet; it will be the “first leg of the first round-trip mission” to return Martian soil samples to Earth. Known as the Mars 2020 mission, the upcoming rover will hunt for signs of habitable environments on Mars while searching for signs of past microbial life. According to Space.com, this robotic traveler will also cache a series of samples that can be returned to Earth with a future mission.  Based upon the television announcement today, the return mission will be in about 10 years, making that 2030.
 
How does that work?  A future mission around 2029 would deliver a return rocket to the surface of Mars where a soil sample will have been collected by this Mars rover ( that is, if we can interpret the above literally).  According to the JPL announcement, the return mission will be executed using that rocket launched from Mars with the samples of Martian soil. 
 
Will that mission offer a real payout in terms of discovering microbial life?  Maybe not.  Elon Musk and SpaceX plan to land a manned mission on Mars around 2024.  That means that there will be a human SpaceX astronaut awaiting the arrival of the robotic JPL mission in 2030 (!).  Somehow, I’d say that just won’t happen the way JPL anticipates.  Of course, if the SpaceX mission fails, then the Mars 2030 mission will probably be a successful backup.  We’ll all just have to wait and see.

Dramatic Japanese USO Rescue?

3/6/2020

3 Comments

 
Picture
Case 106561: In the Sea of Japan, off the coast from Tokyo, a UFO was seen by two witnesses who were on night watch (between 12 midnight to 4 AM) aboard a (presumably) US Air Force, ocean-going ship. 1  The UFO (see drawing below) was 40 to 50 feet in diameter and had a height of approximately 20 feet.  There were at least five windows that were emitting a soft-white or smoke-colored glowing light.  It had a coloration of “silver-white-blue.”  According to the report made to MUFON, the UFO came “really close to the ship.“  The UFO then became a USO (Unidentified Submersible Object) entering the ocean at an unspecified speed (!). 2
 
Then, a second UFO is reported to have appeared and followed the USO into the ocean.  After an unspecified period of time, both UFOs emerged from the ocean.  The first UFO was somehow attached to or held by a “magnetic connection” to the second UFO.  According to the report, one (or both) of the objects emitted a “beam” (tractor beam?).   Both then departed in a straight flight path toward the Moon.
 
This report was apparently made by a third party.
