In mainstream science, especially rocket science, building a rocket that is capable of attaining the speed of light is akin to fantasy, like using a mirror to enter Wonderland. Now however, there are two physicists who insist that using black-holes (or singularities) to power spaceships is not only possible, but it’s the very reason black-holes [...]
As this holiday season comes upon us (in the Anglo-descended cultures), many space geeks like me have been sitting on pins and needles about what the Obama Administration might use from the Augustine Commission v2.0 to consider what path NASA might take. What? You’re surprised that I keep track of ‘mainstream’ spaceflight issues? Of course [...]
The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) has started to smash proton beams together: The low-energy collisions came after researchers circulated two beams simultaneously in the LHC’s 27km-long tunnel earlier on Monday. The LHC is smashing together beams of protons to shed light on the cosmos. Operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (Cern), the LHC [...]
The Large Hadron Collider, located underneath Geneva, Switzerland in a 27km. long circular tunnel, restarted 1930 GMT on Friday after a 14 month hiatus in which many speculated the machine would never do so because the ‘Higgs Boson’, a primordial sub-atomic particle, was so inimical to nature that it was capable of travelling back in time [...]
More on renewable algae-fuel from NASA this time. From OnOrbit: NASA ARC: As a clean energy alternative, NASA invented an algae photo-bioreactor that grows algae in municipal wastewater to produce biofuel and a variety of other products. The NASA bioreactor is an Offshore Membrane Enclosure for Growing Algae (OMEGA), which won’t compete with agriculture for [...]
Next year the Air Force will launch atop of an Atlas V rocket an unmanned space plane code named “X-37″. It will have a 4′ x 7′ cargo bay and extensive improvements that was learned during the space shuttle era. But the X-37 has a deeper ancestry than the space shuttle that reaches back to [...]
The theory of planetary formation is now being questioned. A discovery of a planet that orbits its parent star in reverse of its spin is certainly an oddity; only three have been discovered to date. Now planetary scientists are scratching their heads about how this phenomenon can occur: Astronomers have found an extrasolar planet with [...]
For all you old ‘Trekkers’ out there, a remastered version of the original Star Trek has been found and will be sold on Blue Ray disk. As you know, if you’re a ST: TOS geek, “Where No Man Has Gone Before”, was the pilot version Gene Rodenberry managed to sell to NBC after they rejected [...]

Big Brother in the American Federal Empire
Big Brother is knocking: In a case that raises questions about online journalism and privacy rights, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a formal request to an independent news site ordering it to provide details of all reader visits on a certain day. The grand jury subpoena also required the Philadelphia-based Indymedia.us Web site “not [...]
