IS NASA TELLING TALL STORIES AGAIN?
Good Gawd!
Boy, those NASA "scientists" apparently will do anything to keep
their jobs.
<
The latest is their revelation that the moon apparently has lots
of water.
<
Amazingly, they have said so even though NONE OF THEM
has actually seen the water, let alone tasted it to make sure it's
water abd not battery acid.
<
Yet these space "experts" have informed us they have discovered
at least 25 gallons within the plumes of the impact of two of their
spacecraft that intentionally slammed into a lunar crater last month.
<
The 5,592 miles-per-hour impact carved out a hole 65 by 98 feet wide.
and kicked up the water in the form of ice and vapor identified by
a follow-i[ craft, according to NASA "experts".
<
The presence of water on the moon reportedly was the result of water
findings came through an analysis of the slight shifts in color after
the impact, showing telltale signs of water molecules that had
absorbed specific wave lengths of light.
<
“Indeed, yes, we found water. And we didn’t find just a little bit. We
found
a significant amount,” said Anthony Colaprete, the principal
investigator for Nasa’s Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing
Satellite, holding up a white water bucket for emphasis.
<
Colaprete and other NASA "scientists" called the discovery of water on
the moon a thrilling discovery that has sent a ripple of hope for a
future astronaut outpost in a place that always seemed barren and
inhospitable.
<
Some space policy experts claim the discovery of H2O makes the moon
attractive for exploration again because an abundance of water would
make it easier to set up a base camp for astronauts, supplying
drinking water and a key ingredient for rocket fuel. More importantly,
such a project would also keep their paychecks coming.
<
Scientists also hope that the water, in the form of ice accumulated
over billions of years, holds a record of the solar system’s history,
which is another bit of NASA nonsense..
<
“It’s very exciting, it is painting a new image of the moon,” said
Gregory Deloy, from the University of California, hailing it as “an
extraordinary discovery.”
<
“We’re unlocking the mysteries of our nearest neighbor and, by
extension, the solar system,” said Michael Wargo, chief lunar
scientist at NASA headquarters in Washington who hopes this
"discovery" of water silences the critics who say spending more
billions on anything to do with the moon is an absolute waste of money
(Editorial comment: I agree.).
<
According to NASA, only 12 men, all Americans, have ever walked on the
moon, and the last to set foot there were in 1972, at the end of the
Apollo missions. Critics say only 10 astronauts ever walked on the
moon because the July 1969 landing -- the first -- was a fake.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who in 1969 made his historic Apollo 11
moonwalk with Neil Armstrong that still smells of deceit, deception,
collusion and conspiracy, was pleased to hearof the "discovery" of
wateer but still believes the US should focus on colonizing Mars.
<
Here is rare video footage of man first stepping on the moon in 1969.

Our NASA LCROSS team is on serious drugs.
At 3e-15 bar, any form of water becomes nearly explosive in how it
would react to such extreme vacuum, and there’s all sorts of secondary
IR that even gets into the deepest of polar craters from time to time,
sufficient to boil off most any volume of ice.
The 50<750 some odd PPM of water that’s sealed in surface and crust
basalt is one thing that’s likely sure enough there to behold.
However, raw/naked ice under a layer of physically dark dust is not
likely to exist/coexist unless that moon either isn’t very old, and/or
there’s water that’s still leaking out from a substantial reservoir
inside the moon.
AP / “The lunar crash kicked up at least 25 gallons and that's only
what scientists could see from the plumes of the impact, Colaprete
said.”
And yet there’s still no UV florescence imaging or public view of
those original gamma spectrum readings. So, it’s still pretty much
insider and/or need-to-know business as per usual, whereas raw/naked
ice in the vacuum of space apparently doesn’t have to go by any pesky
laws of physics.
The LCROSS 20 meter crater is basically 1e3 m3 worth of displaced and/
or partially vaporized basalt that’s mineral saturated and supposedly
containing 250 PPM water. That’s roughly 3.5e3 tonnes worth of basalt
to start off with, and by taking a little over 11% of that as having
been vaporized is perhaps what our NASA has claimed as having given
off that measurable water such frozen basalt should have. I think it
vaporized closer to 25% if not as great as 33%, which means the h2o
content of that basalt wasn’t as great as 100 PPM.
I favor that our moon is about as dry as things get, though I’ll give
a very remote possibility of there being an underground artisan cache
of water that has been gradually leaking out and into just that
continually frozen crater is at least technically possible, although
it's extremely unlikely those unavoidable vapors weren't easily
detected by astronomers and their various sensitive spectrometry as of
at least decades ago.
Here's yet another image of the sorts of crystal dry minerals that our
moon has to offer. These hues are not bogus/false colors, just the
original colors as having been enhanced, similar to the nifty eyecandy
that Hubble gets published and accepted all the time.
Moon in color (natural but obviously cranked up)
http://deepskycolors.com/pics/astro/2008/10/10-12-2008_MoonColor.jpg
In LRO UV fluorescence imaging, this amount of mineral hue reflectance
should be at least ten fold better yet, and a good thousand fold
better resolution when obtained from just 50 km. Any sign of water
vapor as coming off such a naked surface of crater ice would have been
unavoidably unmistakable.
So, apparently our NASA gets to lie, and we don't, because at roughly
250 ppm of what's supposedly h2o within moon basalt, as such it would
have only required vaporizing a few hundred tonnes of basalt in order
to equal 25 gallons (94+ kg) of water. In other words, at 250 PPM it
would only require vaporizing 400 tonnes of basalt in order to release
100 kg of its water, along with releasing at the very least 1000 kg
of sodium (though many areas of the lunar surface are rich or
saturated in sodium) plus there'd many kg worth of other minerals, and
of course there's <60,000 PPM O2 = 24t that shouldn't have been
unexpected.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt
Basalt generally has a composition of 45–55 wt% SiO2, 2–6 wt% total
alkalis, 0.5–2.0 wt% TiO2, 5–14 wt% FeO and 14 wt% or more Al2O3.
Contents of CaO are commonly near 10 wt%, those of MgO commonly
in the range 5 to 12 wt%.
High alumina basalts have aluminium contents of 17–19 wt% Al2O3;
boninites have magnesium contents of up to 15% MgO. Rare
feldspathoid-
rich mafic rocks, akin to alkali basalts, may have Na2O + K2O
contents
of 12% or more.
http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/1995/95JE00503.shtml
"Calculation of oxygen yield (as released by hydrogen gas reduction
of ilmenite) show that (1) beneficiated basalt will provide the most
oxygen (8–10%)"

Yes, good old basalt bedrock has 50<750 ppm of h2o. So what?
Our NASA LCROSS team is on serious steroids and/or hard drugs, as in
cover thy butt with all the media hype, spin and eyecandy meds they
can muster, or else. It’s called job security, except theirs is with
nifty benefits and COL insurance.
They must think our president/BHO and his staff of well educated
advisers are easily snookered and dumbfounded past the point of no
return. Because guess what folks, there’s always water to behold from
creating any crater, mostly because basalt always has at least 50 ppm
to begin with (<750 ppm). Secondly, keeping yourself warm is really
not a problem, as is with keeping yourself and whatever technology
cool. For those polar crater locations, Stirling energy conversions
from photons to electrons is really going to become nifty when there’s
such a terrific thermal (light to dark) differential to begin with.
Once any molecules of water/ice are freed at 3e-15 bar, it becomes
nearly explosive in how it would unavoidably react by expanding into
such an extreme vacuum, and there’s all sorts of secondary IR that
even manages to get into the deepest of those polar craters from time
to time, contributing sufficient thermal energy to boil off or rather
sublime most any raw/naked volume of ice at that extensive vacuum, not
to mention the moon itself is also radiating <22 mw/m2 of it’s
residual and/or thorium core heat (thicker polar crust has got to be
worth at least 10 mw/m2).
The 50<750 some odd PPM of water that’s sealed in surface bedrock and
crust basalt is one thing that’s likely sure enough there to behold.
However, raw/naked ice under a crystal dry layer of physically dark
carbon dust is not as likely to exist/coexist unless that moon either
isn’t very old, and/or there’s water or mineral brine that’s still
leaking out from a substantial reservoir or aquifers inside the moon.

those original gamma spectrum readings. So, it remains pretty much

laws of physics, or any need of independent peer review.

impact vaporized closer to 25% if not as great as 33%, which means the
h2o content of that basalt wasn’t as great as 100 PPM, but then who’s
really counting since ordinary physics and easily peered replicated
science does not matter.
I would tend to favor that our physically dark lunar surface is about
as crystal dry as things within such a terrific vacuum environment
could ever get, though I’ll give a very remote possibility of there
being an underground artisan cache of water or mineral brine that has

good thousand fold better resolution when obtained from just 50 km.
With their LRO extended dynamic range, any sign of water vapor (atoms
of h2o) as coming off such a naked surface of any crater shadowed ice
would have been unavoidably unmistakable. Of course this means there
really is not such raw/naked ice to behold.
So, apparently our NASA gets to lie their public funded butts off, and
the rest of us don't, because at roughly 100<250 ppm of what's
supposedly accessible h2o within moon basalt, as such would have only
required vaporizing a few hundred tonnes of basalt in order to provide
those 25 gallons (94+ kg) of water. In other words, at 250 ppm it
would only require vaporizing 400 tonnes out of the 3.5e3 tonnes of
basalt in order to release 100 kg of its water, along with releasing
at the very least 1000 kg of sodium (though many areas of the lunar
surface are rich or saturated in sodium to the tune of <50,000 ppm),
plus there's many kg worth of other minerals and of course there's
30,000<100,000 ppm O2 = 12<40t that shouldn't have been all that
unexpected or hard to detect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basalt
Basalt generally has a composition of 45–55 wt% SiO2, 2–6 wt% total
alkalis, 0.5–2.0 wt% TiO2, 5–14 wt% FeO and 14 wt% or more Al2O3.
Contents of CaO are commonly near 10 wt%, those of MgO commonly
in the range 5 to 12 wt%.
High alumina basalts have aluminium contents of 17–19 wt% Al2O3;
boninites have magnesium contents of up to 15% MgO. Rare
feldspathoid-
rich mafic rocks, akin to alkali basalts, may have Na2O + K2O
contents
of 12% or more.

"Calculation of oxygen yield (as released by hydrogen gas reduction
of ilmenite) show that (1) beneficiated basalt will provide the most
oxygen (8–10%)"
Of course there’s lots of good old hydrogen and helium 3 (3He at 10
ppb) that need not be wasted.
“The energy content of 3He is: E(3He)= 2e8 kWh/kg-1 ... If Fusion is
the process of obtaining energy by adding things together” could be
interpreted as worth <$2.5M/kg, especially as fossil duels are made
spendy or illegal to use unless their exhaust emissions are fully
certified as green, and average consumer cost of energy hits $0.25/
kwhr
A serious solar farm of mylar mirrors could vaporize lunar basalt
rather nicely, especially in that 3e-15 bar vacuum.
At perhaps as little as one kg per 100 m2 mirror shouldn't be so
unlikely. A full tonne of such deployed mirrors is thus offering 1e5
m2 of reflected and focused solar energy into a bedrock area of
perhaps 4 m2.
At only 90% efficiency is still offering 3.4e6 w/m2, which at 3e-15
bar should vaporize something. That collective 1e5 m2 of mylar mirror
efficiency as focused down to 4 m2 should actually become worth 3.6e6
w/m2.

What's not possible for using Selene as such an interstellar craft of

If that south polar grater wasn't caused by having encountered Earth,
than what happen to that extremely large item which caused such a

In other words, a balloon is actually not even 0.1% hollow?
How about water balloons? How about an Emu egg or the tough soccer
ball that's instead filled with a mineral brine, beer or pretty much
anything fluid or muck instead of air?
0.1% really isn't very hollow, whereas displacements via liquids,
muds, various oily hydrocarbons and of course other gasses (including
hydrogen, helium and methane, or whatever mineral brines (alkaline or
acidic) are every bit as good of hollow worthy as geode trapped air.
How solid is porous rock, such as volcanic pumice and especially that
which floats? (not very if it’s 70% hollow)
How solid is diatomaceous earth(DE)? (not very, unless 95% hollow
doesn’t count)
What exactly do you consider hollow, other than empty beer cans or
that spare empty keg you either sit on or use as a portable urinal
because your $50/month water has been shut off.
Perhaps you really need to be more open minded, or simply more hollow-
head (brainless) thinking about this one. You might also care to go
caving now and then, or at least for God's sake read a few of those
old National Geographic issues about such underground matters. In
other words, what the hell is the matter with you?
btw, what happened inside of our Selene/moon when its supposedly iron
core got pulled or offset towards Earth? (how about, it leaves a void)
You do realize that the heavy mineral saturated farside crust is
nearly twice as thick (<107 km and perhaps even somewhat thicker polar
areas), as compared to the nearside crust (<60 km), which only means
the lunar core had to have been pulled/shifted even further towards
Earth.
At near zero bar, or roughly –15 psi isn’t an insignificant force to
ignore, of such vacuum easily holding up a cavernous domed roof made
of basalt and various minerals that are only slightly (<1.6 m/s)
compressed or loaded down by gravity.
Assuming voids of trapped gasses other than common air inside; How
much inward pressure can a thick basalt sphere of tough bedrock deal
with, without its imploding (especially since there's an outside
vacuum of 3e-15 bar and only 1.62 m/s of gravity)?
With that much outside vacuum and the reduced gravity to work with
(especially deep underneath that thick crust), imagine how extremely
simple and even failsafe it’ll be to excavate or simply vacate
whatever’s (mud, liquid or gas) inside a given geode pocket or porous/
cavernous layer. That moon of ours could just as easily be 1% hollow
as is, with the potential of becoming artificially hollowed out to
10%.

I’d have to agree.
It's hard to regain the trust of an individual, religion or government
agency once having been lied to, and our DARPA/NASA has used up and or
having perpetrated more than their fair share of such lies, as well as
obfuscating each of their butts off whenever anyone questions their
official conclusions.
As I said many times before, up until 10 some odd years ago, I too
believed each and every word of our Apollo missions. But then it
became important to add it all up again, and wouldn't you know, it
simply didn't seem to add up, especially with regard to those
unfiltered Kodak moments (nearly as many from orbit as from EVAs on
that physically dark and mineral saturated surface).
This all started when I'd interpreted what looks extremely artificial
and thus intelligent about the hot surface of planet Venus,
interpreting one small but extremely interesting area of a very large
radar obtained composite image, looking as though some other highly
complex life had once been involved and might even still exist on
Venus, and my having directly shared that deductive interpretation
with NASA is when I got seriously suspicious about other matters that
were supposed to be an objective done deal, such as those Apollo
missions.
It was the way they had ignored my research that should have been
received in a warm and friendly/constructive way, was in fact anything
but warm and friendly, is what gave me further cause to look into
other matters, such as those Apollo missions that we were always
supposed to accept as is, with no questions asked.
There's simply too much about those Apollo missions that seemed hocus-
pocus, need-to-know and/or oddly entirely missing in action. Their
absolutely piss poor reasons for terminating our Saturn V just added
further insult to injury, because everything since has been spendy as
well as less reliable and less capable of getting large payload
tonnage into orbit, and it seems we still do not have a viable
prototype fly-by-rocket lander that you'd dare trust with your life.
So, what we have today are compounded lies upon lies coming out of our
NASA, along with all the public funded media hype and spin they can
muster, not to mention that most every other government agency seem to
have been compromised past the point of no return, leaving BHO as our
commander and chief with almost nowhere to turn, and few options of
telling us the truth without jeopardizing his own life
