Panspermia proposed by Sir Fred Hoyle and Dr Chandra Wickramasinghe
Michael Salla
In surprising support of an earlier Russian discovery of microbes growing on the surface of the International Space Station (ISS), Swiss scientists have confirmed that DNA samples can survive the extremes of outer space. A November 26 report from Science Daily announced that a team of scientists from the University of Zurich attached DNA samples to the exterior of a TEXUS-49 rocket launched into space from the Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, North Sweden. Upon the rocket's return the DNA was found to be preserved and able to perform vital communication functions. The Swiss scientists' findings were published on 26 November in the scientific journal, Plos One. The Swiss scientific finding supports an August 19, 2014 announcement from Russian scientists who had discovered a form of sea plankton growing on the windows of the ISS. Both sets of scientific findings support the radical theory of Panspermia that microbial extraterrestrial life can exist and travel in the vacuum of space on comets, and radiation pressure.
According to the chief scientist for the Swiss study, Professor Oliver Ullrich from the University of Zurich's Institute of Anatomy:
This study provides experimental evidence that the DNA's genetic information is essentially capable of surviving the extreme conditions of space and the re-entry into Earth's dense atmosphere.
The findings of the Swiss scientific team gives vital support for an August 19, 2014 announcement by Russians scientists of the results of a yearlong study of a strange substance that had been obscuring the windows of the ISS. The substance had been collected by astronauts during a prior spacewalk. Vladimir Solovyev, chief of the Russian ISS orbital mission said:
Results of the experiment are absolutely unique. We have found traces of sea plankton and microscopic particles on the illuminator surface. This should be studied further.
One explanation for the Russian discovery comes from Professor Ulrich who points out from the Swiss study how terrestrial DNA can be accidently carried into outer space and be confused as alien in origin;
The results show that it is by no means unlikely that, despite all the safety precautions, space ships could also carry terrestrial DNA to their landing site. We need to have this under control in the search for extraterrestrial life.
While the Swiss scientific finding provides a possible explanation for the Russian discovery, it does not explain how the sea plankton on the ISS was actually growing, rather than just surviving in the vacuum of space. This suggests that it was a form of plankton indigenous to outer space rather than carried into space from the Earth's surface by wind currents.
Nevertheless, the Swiss scientific discovery, together with the August 19 announcement by Russian scientists, gives critical support to the theory of Panspermia proposed by Sir Fred Hoyle and Dr Chandra Wickramasinghe. In 1974, they proposed and were able to confirm that dust in interstellar space was largely organic, thereby making it possible for life to exist in interstellar space despite the harsh conditions there.
The implications of the Swiss and Russian scientific studies suggest that extraterrestrial life cannot only exist in the extreme conditions of space, but can find ways of thriving there. Importantly, NASA's silence in response to the August announcement by the Russians, is harder to maintain now due to the Swiss discovery. The Swiss and Russian discoveries takes scientists one step closer to eventually concluding that microbial extraterrestrial life has ways of adapting to the extremes of outer space, and can be easily dispersed throughout the universe.

Cleanup by shop owners in the after math!But not everyone cowered in fear… some took action!History shows us that those who are armed and protecting their homes or businesses cause the thieves to seek easier targets for their violence and theft.Some businesses in the Ferguson riots escaped looting.Why these businesses avoided destruction of their property and saved their livelihood should be a lesson for politicians.Some business owners with their employees and friends stood firm, right outside their establishments, ready to take on all comers.Why? Because they were armed to the teeth!At Riverfront Tattoo and the adjacent gun store, owners Mike Gutierrez ( below left) and Adam Weinstein (third from left) brought AR-15s, body armor and lots of high-capacity magazines (the type Obama wants banned) to guard their store against bedlam.
Rioters passed right by the store.Mally's Supermarket was protected by armed men and it was untouched.As was Sam's Meat Market.And a beauty supply store owned by Asians.No looting or damage to any of these businesses.Do you wonder why!And the lesson for politicians and all liberal gun-grabbing Democrats is that being armed — and armed to the teeth — is the ONLY defense against a rioting mob.The lesson should have been learned for good after the 1992 L.A. Riots, when only shop owners in Koreatown were spared because they defended their stores with force of arms:The right to bear arms must be sacred!The shop owners and people in these examples worked hard for the life they have. To deny them of the best tools possible to protect themselves and their property is criminal.Regards,Mike Theimer

X37B Boeing proposal
The X-37B: Exploring expanded capabilities for ISS missions March 12, 2013 by Chris Gebhardt As NASA and its new commercial partners continue to push toward the era of realized commercial crew transportation to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Boeing has released a paper detailing the potentiality of expanding the capabilities of the U.S. Air Force's X-37B reusable space plane for cargo and crewed missions to LEO – a proposal, which for unknown reasons, appears to have been pushed aside by NASA's commercial space division. What could have been – A reusable space plane for the commercial era: As stated a Boeing presentation (acquired by L2), the concept of utilizing the X-37B as part of NASA's COTS and CCDev programs stemmed from the idea that the program would be able to "realize cost savings and acceleration of technology developmental timelines by focusing on the payload. See Also Commercial Space Section L2 Commercial Section Click here to Join L2 "Non- recurring costs [would be] substantially reduced by taking advantage of a mature spacecraft bus with well defined bus-to-payload interfaces and a ground station supported by seasoned mission operations staff using flight validated operational products." Given that this presentation came after the first successful test flight of the X-37B, Boeing also noted that "Several key technologies for reusable spacecraft were successfully demonstrated in the areas of aerodynamics, aerothermodynamics, reusable solar arrays, Thermal Protection Systems (TPS), and autonomous Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC)." Development of a mini-Shuttle – The X-37B comes to life: Birthed from the NASA Future-X (1998-2001) and Space Launch Initiatives (2001-2006) campaigns, the X-37B was developed to help lower the cost of LEO transport for post-Shuttle and replacement EELV (Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle) eras. In addition to testing next generation TPS system materials, the X-37B was envisioned as a platform capable of testing autonomous deorbit, entry, and landing GNC; fault tolerant architecture for autonomous on-orbit and entry flight; GPS and dGPS for landing with minimal airfield infrastructure; electro-mechanical flight actuation and brakes; and Li-Ion (Lithium-Ion) batteries for high cycle life and high current capabilities. Moreover, the X-37B would be able to test reusable, deployable and stowable solar arrays; advanced Gr/BMI composite airframes; complex Carbon-Carbon control surfaces; advanced high temperature wing leading edge tiles; hypersonic aeroheating prediction methods; and integrated systems designed for aircraft-like turnaround operations for post-mission processing. Launched on its first test flight on 22 April 2010 by an Atlas V 501-configured rocket from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the first mission of the X-37B spent 224 days in orbit before returning to Earth on 3 December of that year. During entry on 3 December, the X-37B successfully managed its energy, position, altitude, and descent profile using bank angle, pitch angle, and S-turns across a 5,500 nm reentry flight path. More impressively, the craft successfully, and for the first time ever for a spacecraft, "assessed its energy to go and [autonomously] moved the HAC (Heading Alignment Circle) away from the runway threshold to adjust for high altitude tailwinds." As related by the Boeing presentation, "The capability to autonomously adjust for winds and energy by moving the HAC is just one of the guidance algorithm advancements over the Shuttle Orbiter approach and landing methods." Adapting the X-37 design to the age of commercial space endeavours: Noting the reluctance of the American space industry to fly anything in space that isn't in some way connected to the heritage of Shuttle, Atlas, Delta, Ariane, any number of Russian engine technologies, or even the Saturn V, Boeing makes the case that the X-37B is an excellent example of space heritage – while providing the added benefit of incorporating new and evolving space technologies (like solar cell technology for reusable solar arrays) into its design. Specifically, though, the presentation makes note of NASA's burgeoning ISS COTS cargo and CCDev crew transport initiatives, noting a need "to qualify a new generation of autonomous rendezvous, proximity operations, and docking sensors and software." The presentation notes that the X-37B has the capability to perform attitude control maneuvers that are well in-line with NASA baseline standards for ISS and satellite rendezvous operations, and the vehicle's subsystem fault tolerance for automated aborts from Station and satellites is also well within NASA standards. Thus, the X-37B spacecraft design would provide an excellent way to "demonstrate, refine, and validate competing technologies and operational concepts without having to build a unique demonstration spacecraft." Moreover, Boeing notes that the X-37B design would also provide a valuable test platform for "multiple competing technologies [that] can be integrated onto a single OTV (Orbiter Test Vehicle, the official name for the X-37B vehicle) as independent subsystems." The X-37B vehicle would then be able to independently test these "multiple competing technologies" during a single demonstration flight to the ISS or orbiting satellite, thus eliminating the need to conduct separate flights for each independent technology. Making the case for X-37 ISS operations: With the retirement of the Space Shuttle orbiter fleet in 2011 came the elimination of the capability to return sensitive cargo, requiring a soft landing, from the ISS. Enter the X-37, the only vehicle currently in operation that is capable of providing a soft, 1.5g class return landing. Making use of the X-37 design would allow sensitive cargo of the biological and material science variety (the science that forms the core of microgravity research aboard the ISS) to be safely and softly returned to Earth inside the X-37B's payload bay. Following a runway landing, any time sensitive cargo could be safely and quickly removed from the vehicle. Additionally, Boeing states that "At the X-37B's current size, upmass cargo would be carried internally and externally while downmass cargo would be entirely within the payload bay. "The considerable excess launch capability of the EELV class launch vehicles and unused volume within the 5m fairing [would] enable the X-37 to carry several large ISS LRUs (Line Replaceable Units) or other items externally on the service module," notes the Boeing AIAA presentation. Under this proposal, using the X-37B itself with an attached service module, the craft would be launched into a 51.6 degree inclination orbit for rendezvous with the ISS. After arriving at ISS, the X-37B would maneuver itself within the berthing box of the ISS's Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) arm. The ISS crew would then use the SSRMS to reach out and grapple the X-37B and then attach it (dock it) to one of the Common Berthing Mechanisms (CBMs) on one of the nodes of the Station. During the course of docked operations, the X-37B would require no support from the ISS, less the physical CBM attachment, as all power and electricity would come from the deployed solar array and onboard batteries. The crew of the ISS would then be able to use the SSRMS to remove all external cargo from the outside attachment points on the X-37B itself. Internal cargo for ISS would be stowed within containers in the X-37B's payload bay to make transfer of materials to and from ISS easier for the Station's crew or any robot that might be tasked with moving the internal cargo. All downmass cargo would then be loaded into these containers before the containers would be returned to the X-37B's payload bay. After completion of docked operations, the SSRMS would unberth the X-37B, and the spacecraft would then maneuver itself away from the Station. The service module would be jettisoned prior to the initiation of deorbit, entry, descent, and landing operations. Evolving the X-37B for crew transportation: For the consideration of expanding the X-37B baseline design for the inclusion of crew launch and return capability, the Boeing presentation notes that an increase in size of approximately 160-180 percent would be needed to meet a 5-7 crew-size capability. Under this design, the X-37 would nominally be able to accommodate 5-6 astronauts with enough provisions and space for one injured astronaut requiring a stretcher-like return configuration for reentry and landing. The launch and entry seats for the crew would be aligned along one side of the pressurized volume within the X-37, leaving a clear access path for launch pad climbing and zero-G operations. The crew would enter the spacecraft via a hatch on the top of the X-37. The same hatch would provide emergency launch pad egress capability. For in-flight abort scenarios, a "pusher-style abort system between the Atlas V's Centaur upper stage and the X-37 [would] provide the appropriate acceleration and Delta-V for the required abort scenarios." Completely autonomous, the crewed X-37 would be capable of launching, aborting, rendezvousing, docking, undocking, deorbiting, and landing itself without any input from the crew. Cross-range capabilities of the X-37 design would allow for multiple deorbit opportunities per day to the Kennedy Space Center, FL, White Sands Space Harbor, NM, and Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA. While the Boeing presentation – created in 2011 for the AIAA – makes a fairly convincing case for the evolving capabilities of the X-37B, there is no indication at this time that pursuit of this option is ongoing or even under the slightest consideration from NASA.
