NASA is trying once again to launch a shuttle, the first one since the Columbia disaster a couple of years back. Are the setbacks they are currently experiencing warnings by the Council? Will the mission be allowed to proceed as planned or will interference occur to prevent the mission from being successful? [and from another] I had the notion that it might just be our space friends who are monkey wrenching with the Space Shuttle for their own good reasons. Would the Zetas care to comment on this? And if it is true, what is the strategy and what is the true mission of this flight?
What was the point of the repeated
        warnings that a malfunctioning fuel gauge represented? The fuel gauge
        mechanism was replaced, examined, but still it malfunctioned. The
        message to NASA was that it was going to have mechanical problems,
        problems they would not anticipate and could not fix, problems with a
        mysterious origin and an even more mysterious refusal to be repaired.
        This message was not lost on NASA, who despite the public hand-wringing
        on what went wrong with their shuttle Columbia, despite the declared
        conclusion that it was problems with light weight foam cracking the fame
        of the shuttle, knew full well that we and others had taken the Columbia down, because of the cargo it was carrying. The ISS was
        peeking at Planet X, providing information on its trajectory and speed,
        and to avoid transmitting this information to Earth via radio, which can
        be captured and cracked, they were using the Shuttle to ferry this to
        Earth so that only the elite would be aware of the presence
        and danger that Planet X represents to mankind. We had warned repeatedly
        that the elite needed to begin sharing this information with the common
        man, whom they purport to care for as they collect taxes and govern. 
        
        Why the press to get the Discovery back into orbit? Yes, the Russians
        were carrying the burden of maintaining the ISS, ferrying astronauts and
        providing supplies, and this was an embarrassment to NASA, being in
        second place and dependent upon their former rivals, the Russians. Yes,
        maintaining the ISS indefinitely in this manner was not feasible, and it
        would eventually have to be closed down if the Shuttle could not be
        brought back into operation. But is all this worth lives? Is all this
        worth proceeding despite mechanical problems that cannot be
        resolved, no matter how many times the same problem presents? A
        malfunctioning fuel gauge that malfunctions several times, and continues
        to do so even when replaced? The message was clear, and it was
        also clear to the mass of humanity following this saga that NASA cared
        not one whit for its astronauts, and was desperate to get into
        space, for some unstated reason. 
        
        This was one of the goals of those tinkering with the Discovery's fuel
        gauge system, to force NASA to show the world that they were desperate
        to get into space, begging the question, why the desperation?
        
        What is the future of the ISS space station, or any attempts to get the
        elite to the dark side of the Moon where there are, as they know, alien
        bases where they could hunker down and survive the pole shift on Earth
        in safety? Where Bush has trumpeted the NASA programs as having a grand
        future, talking up manned missions to Mars, the reality of the failing
        space programs has leaked around this pompous stance like water past a
        rock in a stream, fooling no one. The elite will not escape to Mars to
        ride out the pole shift, nor will they escape to the Moon, a place the
        shuttle would be likely to reach, should the shuttle program be
        operational. Is it operational now? Bush and those in his administration
        closely allied with him assume the US Military and the NASA space
        program to be carnations in his lapel, things he controls, and as such,
        reasons the Puppet Master should treat him well. The US Military is in
        revolt against Bush, the control of the oil fields in the Middle East a
        disaster because of his management, and now the NASA space program a
        proven disaster. 
        
        This was another goal of those tinkering with the Discovery, creating
        not only an intractable fuel gauge problem but tearing off foam upon
        take off and ripping a heat seal on the front windows. Getting the
        message yet?
        
        Why then, if the Columbia was torn from the sky as it returned with
        fresh information on the position and trajectory of Planet X, was the
        Discovery allowed to return? During the two and a half years that the
        Shuttle was out of operation, NASA returned to transmitting information
        from the ISS, risking this information being captured and decoded by
        other countries or by members of the public. The information was not
        returned via the Russian ferry system, something the arrogant Bush
        administration could not stoop to, as they consider themselves
        the holder of the secrets, the source of information, and thus, in their
        minds, they consider themselves to be invaluable and irreplaceable in
        the Puppet Master's eyes. Sorry, Bush, the Puppet Master is not fooled,
        and has long been displeased with your performance and concluded the
        assets he has that are within US territories would be better off without
        you. The latest shuttle disasters are only a reminder. 
- Signs of the Times #1486
- Astronauts Prepare to Undock, Return Home [Aug 5] NASA cleared Discovery to return to Earth next week, concluding Thursday that there was no need to send the astronauts out on another spacewalk to repair a torn thermal blanket near a cockpit window. NASA had been considering sending the astronauts out to snip away part of the blanket for fear a 13-inch section weighing just under an ounce could tear away during the latter stages of descent and strike the shuttle, perhaps causing grave danger. The astronauts had to step outside to repair the shuttle's thermal protection and reduce the risk of another Columbia-type tragedy during the trip home, when the spacecraft passes through the blowtorch heat of re-entry.
