NASA finds perfect spot for israel
Finally, a viable solution to the Arab-israeli conflict . . . a land without people for a people without land.
Earth's first off-world colonists will cruise the surface in a new-generation lunar lander that will function like a low-gravity pickup truck, possibly journeying to the dark side to build the most ambitious collection of observatories ever constructed, NASA said.
The dark side of the moon - it's perfect!
"We will begin with short missions. Then we will build up to the point where we are staying 180 days, and then we will have a permanent presence," [said] Doug Cooke, deputy associate administrator for exploration systems[.]
See - I told you - just their style!
According to NASA Deputy Administrator Shana Dale, the agency met with hundreds of scientists, potential international partners and space businesses over the past year to discuss the options — whether the plan should be based around sorties to the moon or around an outpost and later settlement.
The conclusion, she said, was that an outpost was the best for science and in preparation for exploration deeper into space.
Dale said the team debated where the outpost should be established, with a focus on either the lunar north or south pole.
"Conditions at the south pole appear to be more moderate and safer," she said.
The south pole in particular is constantly bathed in light and would be an ideal place to collect solar power, plus the site has possible resources to mine nearby, Cooke said.
Previous NASA moon missions detected unusual amounts of hydrogen at both poles.
Some scientists have speculated this could be traced to hidden ice deposits, a potential source of water for moon colonists. A recent study has raised doubts about that theory.
Officials said the area around the lunar south pole has craters that likely hold volatile gases that could be collected for commercial purposes. Highest on the list of possible targets is helium-3, a form of the gas seldom found on Earth but possibly well suited as a nuclear-power fuel.
They couldn't ask for anything more - exclusive, secure, rich in resources that are ripe for exploitation, potential water source - it's prime real estate!
NASA officials said they won't make a final decision about where to build the lunar base until they obtain results from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a mapping mission scheduled for launch in 2008.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.
Witty humour, something to start the day with!
Sounds like a great plan!
Something tells me they're not laughing, though.
well goyim haters will never accept that, first of all we all know that they love to suck blood, not from their own though, so they always have to live among goyims because that blood tastes better. and gives them life. get it?
if not try to study the famous THALMUD, gives you all the answers
QRSWAVE, however it's missing one ingredient, one very important ingredient.
And that is a native indigenous population that they can kill, rape, assault, steel from, harvest organs from, torture --- anything to "boost" their EGOS as the "Chosen Ones" (TM).
This little important fact cannot be overlooked.
