I hate to sound so stupid. But, here goes. If a sentient hominid wants to learn about what occurred untold billions or trillions of years ago, maybe telepathy is the only answer. Maybe the human soul needs to be able to touch upon the Souls of Those who were around, then. Maybe Ingo Swann was right:...

Indigenous peoples are fair game for culling, is what it means. The US Government since the Indian Removal Act of 1830, simply destroys any culture that gets in its capitalistic, profiteering way. Is there something about this, hard to understand? It is also WHY the capitalist, corporatist MEDIA sup...

the Moon
It's a gorgeous clear day with puffy clouds hanging over our heads, very stably. So, I was sitting on the balcony which has several reference points, and I could determine from the line of the building and points on the hill, that these clouds weren't moving. But, my God! Look at that Moon BOOKING A...

Smooth Sections of Asteroid Itokawa
Are these men trying to be funny?
There's not a "smooth" square inch on this piece of rock; and who cares?
Is this how "scientists" spend grant and tax money, on stuff like this?
Yikes.

As I recall, and I had the link on a previous computer but not anymore, there was one of these whirleegigs at the south pole of jupiter, also. Anybody else remember that, about five years ago, seeing a hexagonal stirring mechanism at the bottom of Jupiter? It was almost as if Jupiter was a mixing bo...

Cool! I can spend a lot of time window shopping there. I guess, I'm more interested in the technical artifacts than the shells. http://www.abidemiracles.com/images/23mars/sol029metal.jpg This looks like a machined hunk of metal -- too many right angels and perfect holes to be a natural thing. Thank ...

Insofar as the third option goes, I understand the Van Allen radiation belts extent from 1000 miles from earth outward. Wouldn't those belts preclude ANY traffic? I have heard or read that ETs approach our planet at the poles, to avoid the magnetosphere, but nobody's talking about (least of all our ...

You're saying to me that we can get square-meter-by-square-meter photos of Mars, but we can't get close-up's of the moon, even with ground-based academic telescopes? Oh? Okay, here's a photo off the Apollo17 trip. http://www.abidemiracles.com/images/77fednasa/apollo17moondata.jpg And here's a recent...

Fascinating. They only have two areas photographed. The Archistarchus crater and the Apollo 17 landing site. That's IT. Nothing else. Ooookay. One would think they would have the whole backside mapped, including the water that Fred Steckling's 1981 book detailed. That's what I was hoping to see some...

Do we have any Moon photos off the Hubble? I have never seen any.
The moon is so close to us, one would think that we would have as detailed photos of the moon, as we have of Mars.
Or, have I simply missed something?
