Roddenberry hit it dead-on!



I love SciFi, UFO, space...etc. I spend a lot of time with this.
Most interesting so far would be Philip Schneider and definitely William Rutledge's story.
William Rutledge suppose to be Apollo 20 pilot, a mission that never happened. He claim that they found billion years old huge space ship on the moon, with two women bodies on board. You can search for this videos on YouTube. Most interesting is Nasa pictures of the Moon, where you can see something, that William says it's the space ship.

This is hard to believe and probably hoax, but i'm 100% sure it would make excellent movie. :)

I was soooo expecting the goatse ass at the end of this moon image.
 
Had a friend that was in the Air Force for over 25 years and was a certifiable bad a$$ (Earned medals etc.) but passed due to medical issues a couple of months ago. His funeral was with full military honors and was quite impressive.

We've worked together for almost 10 years and he got very sick when one day out of the blue, we started talking about Aliens and all this stuff and he started talking to me about his service. Yes, I did know that he was shot down during the Vietnam War and walked his way out of a place we never officially fought. Didn't know that he served at Area 51.

From what I have pieced together, over dozens of hallway conversations is this: Area 51 has been closed for a long time now and moved to a state bordering Canada. My guess is Wyoming but he would never really say - that's all I got.

When I tried to talk about Aliens - he always blocked it and talked about Indian tribes... That was his little game - he would not talk DIRECTLY about the subject ("Never know who's listening" :)). From what I gathered, we are in touch with three different civilizations. One friendly, one which doesn't care and one that doesn't really like us but 'tolerates' us.

For the most part they don't want and are not getting involved into local 'politics/human issues' unless we get 'really' stupid.

Obviously, its not a ton of info - nor is it very detailed but pretty much all I've got from him.

Sooo, obviously this is the big bad Internet and you shouldn't believe everything you hear...
 
In other news, a user named Gertex here was suddenly stricken with an unexplained illness and passed away this afternoon...
ROFL!

What's sad... My buddy did pass really agonizing and slowly... All natural causes (as far as we know).

His last year (at which point he could have retired years ago) he spent at work, most of the time he was sleeping at his desk. Nobody DARED to say anything to management or anybody for that matter - simply because he literally was revered within the ranks.

Always asked him WHY he would want to work instead of retire and his answer was always the same... "Your youngn's keep me alive and kicking... Makes me feel young"...

Miss the old dude...
 
helium 3 mining

Yeah, we need a way to make Mining the moon (presumably for helium 3) profitable, and while we're there, sell real estate.

It would be the shiznit to go for a vacation on the moon... Perhaps a week in low gravity at a time... Even if they can't make grand palaces there yet; surely some resort & casino is going to put up one before too long for all of the space tourists to come and stay/play at.

Have you read the book "Return to the Moon" by Harrison Schmitt? It's all about how he thinks private corporations will eventually be mining helium 3 on the moon in the near future. Unfortunately it looks like Russia will be there first... but at least we'll have universal healthcare!
 
Moxie: What possible incentive would they have to share advanced tech with us? Do we share advanced tech with newly-discovered tribes in the amazon? & don't forget about the Prime Directive!

Yeah, they would probably want to quarantine us now if anything, but maybe not into the future if they thought we wouldn't mess anything up. Long before they did that though, they would probably let human representatives ride on their craft as guests.


Area 51 has been closed for a long time now

They still use the base for something; workers get flown out every day.

Moxie, I asked about that back then and he said that was for current testing and to keep people busy. Like a Magician, watch the hand in front and not the one behind the back...

Remember him talking about Scramjets being tested there etc.. But that was several years back. Sorry, he never really got 'specific' which was sometimes quite maddening when you just want to know! lol
 
European technology firm Astrium is teaming up with US company Alliant to make a "low-cost" space rocket launcher that could one day take tourists into orbit, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
It said the companies plan a 300-foot (91-metre) launcher dubbed "Liberty" to take astronauts and scientific payloads into space for about $180 million (132 million euros) a time, 40 percent cheaper than some current launches.

The newspaper said the project's backers hope to gain funding from US space agency NASA for the project, which they say could lead eventually to commercial projects such as orbiting hotels for space tourists.

Astrium, a subsidiary of defence giant EADS, is the main maker of the Ariane commercial rocket, used to launch satellites. US firm Alliant Techsystems is a leading maker of space shuttles.

The companies hope to test the new "low-cost commercial launcher" as soon as 2013, the report said.
