We call BS on "OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) is a NASA (NAZIesque "Never A Straight Answer" organization) asteroid-study and sample-return mission.

We are supposed to believe that it just completed a miraculous primary mission of visiting an asteroid hurtling through the vacuum of empty space and collecting ground samples from 101955 Bennu, a carbonaceous near-Earth asteroid [12]?

The [coffee grounds worth of] material, allegedly returned on Sept. 24, 2023 [13], is expected to enable scientists on Earth to learn more about the formation and evolution of the Solar System, its initial stages of planet formation, and the source of organic compounds that led to the formation of life on Earth [14], because many different extraterrestrials could surely not have been involved in coming to this rock and setting things in motion or checking back in from time to time, mining gold and rare earth minerals, taking wives, leaving DNA, and whisking off to other projects in the galaxy.

Afterward, its mission was extended to conduct proximity operations and in-depth study of asteroid 99942 Apophis as OSIRIS-APEX (Apophis Explorer) [15]. Oh, brother, allegedly extends.

OSIRIS-REx was launched on Sept. 8, 2016 -- though we never heard anything about that -- flew past Earth on Sept. 22, 2017 -- completely under our radar as media watchers -- and allegedly rendezvoused with Bennu on Dec. 3, 2018 [16].

It spent the next two years analyzing the surface to find a suitable site from which to extract a sample. Oh, brother! The media reported that it swooped in, extending an arm, scrapping off some random surface material from its pristine fingerprint of the early universe, like a sterile crime scene. The Big Bang sneezed dust, it landed on Bennu, rested there for billions upon billions of years, and we are the first to get our hands on it. Incredible. Unbelievable. BS.

On Oct. 20, 2020, OSIRIS-REx touched down on Bennu and successfully collected a sample [17, 18,19, 20]. OSIRIS-REx departed Bennu on May 10, 2021 [21, 22] and returned its sample to Earth on Sept. 24, 2023 [23], subsequently starting its new mission to study 99942 Apophis.

Sure, it did. Why not? There's a picture of it all burned up, sitting in the desert, except for that bright yellow spot. Why not?

The spacecraft [like a gnat in space, tinsel and fragile] will arrive at Apophis in April 2029, around when the asteroid is expected to encounter Earth.

Bennu was chosen as the target of study because it is a "time capsule" from the birth of the Solar System [24]. Oy vey 🙄, here we go.

Bennu has a very dark surface and is classified as a B-type asteroid, a sub-type of the carbonaceous C-type asteroids. Such asteroids are considered primitive, having undergone little geological change from their time of formation.

In particular, Bennu was selected because of the availability of pristine carbonaceous material, a key element in organic molecules necessary for life as well as representative of matter from before the formation of Earth. Organic molecules, such as amino acids, have previously been found in meteorite and comet samples, indicating that some ingredients necessary for life can be naturally synthesized in outer space [1].

There ya have it. What more is there to say? We must have a secret space program to do such missions, if they're done at all, because we do not have the technology in our open budget programs. If only NASA were a truthful and transparent organization.

The cost of the OSIRIS-REx mission is approximately US$800 million [25], PLUS the cost of the Atlas V launch vehicle, which is about another US$183.5 million [26]. And what with the OSIRIS-APEX extended mission costs, that's an additional US$200 million [15].

It is the third planetary science mission selected in the New Frontiers program, after Juno and New Horizons. The principal investigator is Dante Lauretta from the University of Arizona.

OSIRIS-REx was the first United States spacecraft to return samples from an asteroid; the earlier, similar Japanese probe Hayabusa returned samples from 25143 Itokawa in 2010, and Hayabusa2 allegedly returned from 162173 Ryugu in Dec. 2020. Oh, those pesky Japanese nontheistic Buddhists and atheistic scientists are ahead of us and have better engineers, STEM graduates, and math nerds? There's a surprise. More

Corporations + government = fascism = M.I.C.

(CBS News) A new form of public technology is trying to send items into space with an innovative new method.

Instead of heavy fuel, 90% of which is burned up in the launch, The SpinLaunch aims to reduce the carbon footprint of space travel by using a vacuum chamber to launch objects -- in essence to shoot a projectile 40 miles up. Then gas engines engage for the next ten miles of thrust to make it to "space" because "space" is only 50 miles up. Jeff Glor has more.

“The definition of fascism is the marriage of corporation and state,” according to Italian fascist leader, Hitler's friend and neighbor, and Nazi sympathizer Benito Mussolini.

This object does not exist and cannot exist because it is not cold enough to be a superconductor...except for the one on our desk, suggesting this exact technology on a large scale is already old hat.  The following private project is a mechanical sling. The US Secret Space Program must already have something much better.

Marriage of state + corporations

(WQ) And, of course, since "space" is a vacuum, no thrust of a rocket could go any farther because there would be nothing to push off of, so a quarter-million mile voyage to the moon is a preposterous impossibility in the way we have been told it happens. Either antigravity technology is in use, as was given to the Nazis who attached the antigravity device given to them to an airtight submarine and lifted into space. Or the moon is much, much closer, as flat earth experts like Eric Dubay conjecture. The Nazi advance into space was revealed in a documentary that closed DisclosureFest 2019 in L.A. called Above Majestic.

It is said that secret black budget government agencies already have a "space elevator" that works by the floatation of a platform up into space, presumably by antigravity. It is certainly not by mechanical means, chain, or any kind of propulsion, as the fake sideways traveling rocket launches into the sea we are shown on television attempt to show. SpaceX and others may be getting into space, since "space" is defined as 50 miles up, but they are certainly not doing it by rocket fuel and Nazi continental ballistic missile technology ala American Nazi Wernher von Braun, unless the moon is within our atmosphere like Russian scientists publicly stated and were never corrected by any person with so much as a high school level of science under his or her belt.

The moon is probably close because one day an Asian country, possibly North Korea or China, announced to its people that it had reached the moon, yet its astronauts (cosmonauts, taikonauts) were back for dinner that same night, earning them peels of mocking laughter from the Western media. But if the moon is close, roughly 3,000 miles up, and they orbited, they could have made it back on the same day. If we have an increasingly thin atmosphere extending up hundreds of thousands of miles, the alleged distance to the moon, and there is a way around or through the protective firmament dome or force that acts as a dome, then rocket fuel.

If any or all of this sounds "crazy," simply consider what John Lear said about NASA in relation to space: The official U.S. space agency hasn't told some lies about space; everything they've said about space has been a lie. For instance, Lear revealed, having heard it from military men who told him in private, we think there are eight or nine places to land in the solar system; in fact, there are at least 42. He did not elaborate, perhaps referring to bases on moons, other planets or planetoids, or vimana-celestial-platforms and mindbogglingly large motherships up there or things like the derelict Black Knight ship, this object, Oumuamua, or this thing on the lunar surface.

Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers (NP)

So if one struggles, reading Popular Mechanics, textbooks, and the like, watching official videos and scientific explanations by apologists Niel DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye, one is hopelessly deceived, piling one makeshift gap filling explanation atop another until the next bombshell "discovery" the mainstream media lays on us. The only thing one can do to find out the truth firsthand is excel at her/his studies and hope to be plucked for a plumb black budget agency science post in a real lab learning real physics not the gibberish we all try to rest our hat on.

Could a small startup knock out giant contractor?

Be like Bob Lazar; get in there, blow the whistle, and watch yourself erased from the roster and all official records of you disappeared until you're a laughingstock in the media to everyone but George Knapp on that Las Vegas news station (KLAS)...even as you continue to reveal authentic information. It's just the way they've set up the game for now. It's how the world works when the government does almost all it does in secret. Look what Edward Snowden, Bradley Chelsea Manning, and Reality Winner got for their trouble trying to reveal a compartmentalized portion of the truth as they stumbled on it.

Sesavati's Vimana (heavenly mansion, chariot, vehicle)

Ravana seizes the vimana Puspaka.

[Vangisa:] "I see this delightful and beautiful vimana, its surface of many hues, ablaze with crystal, and roofed with silver and gold, a well-proportioned palace, possessing gateways, and strewn with golden sand.

As the thousand-rayed sun in the autumn shines in the sky in the ten directions, dispelling darkness, so does this your vimana glow like a blazing smoke-crested fire in the dark night.

It dazzles the eye like lightning, beautiful, suspended in space. Resounding with the music of lute, drum, and cymbal, this platform of yours rivals Indra's city in streaming glory.

White and red and blue lotuses, jasmine, and many flowers are there, blossoming sal and flowering asoka trees, and the air is filled with a rich variety of fragrances.

Sweet-scented trees, breadfruits, laden branches interlaced with palm trees and hanging creepers in full bloom, glorious like jeweled nets, and a delightful lotus pool exists for you.

Whatever flowering plants there are that grow in water and trees that blossom on land, those known in the human world and celestial worlds, all exist in your abode.

Of what calm and self-restraint is this the [karmic] result? By the fruit of what deed [phala] have you arisen here? How did this vimana come to be possessed by you? Tell it in full, O lady with thick eyelashes."

Vimana or celestial mansion/chariot in Indian art.

[Sesavati:] "How it came to be possessed by me, this mansion-garden with its flocks of herons, peacocks, and partridges, frequented by celestial waterfowl and royal geese, resounding with the cries of birds, ducks, and cuckoos,

containing diverse varieties of creepers, flowers, and trees, with trumpet-flower, rose apple, and asoka trees — how this mansion came to be possessed by me, now I will tell you. Listen, venerable sir:

In the eastern region of the excellent kingdom of Magadha [where Prince Siddhartha went to find enlightenment], there is a village called Nalaka, venerable sir. There I lived formerly as a daughter-in-law, and they knew me there as Sesavati.

Scattering flower petals joyfully, I honored him, skilled in deeds and worshipped by devas and human beings, the great Upatissa [Ven. Sariputta from Nalaka] who has attained immeasurable quenching [nirvana].

Having worshipped him gone to the ultimate bourn, the eminent seer bearing his last body [final rebirth], on leaving my human shape, I came to (the Heaven of) the Thirty (-Three) and inhabit this place." — Vv. 642-53

Steve Quayle discusses fantastic Empire Beneath the Ice (Part 1)

Author, researcher, and Christian fanatic Steve Quayle (Empire Beneath the Ice) discusses his work uncovering why much of what we know about World War II and the alleged defeat of Hitler and Nazi Germany is mistaken.

Quayle contends that Nazi SS members, scientists, and soldiers escaped with Hitler to create colonies in other parts of the world such as South America and Antarctica and continued their awful research.

According to an interview with a British wartime officer in the summer of 1944, a team of 30 British scientists and commandos found an ancient tunnel in the Antarctic and went through it. Only two returned. They described seeing "Nazis under the ice, polar men, and an under-the-ice city," Quayle recounts.


During Admiral Byrd's "Operation High Jump" in the Antarctic, Nazis in flying saucers attacked the US armada in 1947. To create their disc-shaped space craft, the Nazis reversed-engineered ancient technology via occult means such as seances "with ghost-like figures dictating to them advanced mathematic formulas," Quayle reports.

The whole structure of the Nazi global war machine was based on the occult and supernatural revelations he adds.

Quayle argues that the Germans actually won WW II, and to this day the world is secretly controlled by a malevolent shadow government.

"The Nazis absolutely tapped into the multidimensional stargate realm...and through their banking interests and conglomerates still rule the world and are going to bring about the Antichrist" using hidden technology that is also possessed by the US and Russia, Quayle warns.

BOB LAZAR: ANATOMY OF A FLYING SAUCER: EXTENDED SCENE

There are some alien sightings and encounters with alien life forms that have mysteriously been caught on camera, caught on tape for all to see. The mainstream media shies away from those and hypes the easily debunkable. From mysterious extraterrestrial sightings to people on camera with proof, here are 10 signs of space aliens.

Scattered throughout the Buddhist sutras are references to as many as 31 distinct "planes" or "realms" of existence.

Onto these planes beings are reborn during their long coursing through samsara, the Wheel of Life and Death or literally the "Continued Wandering On [Through Rebirth]."

These realms range from the extraordinarily grim and painful hell realms all the way up to the most exquisitely refined and blissful celestial realms.

Existence in any and every realm is temporary, although the lifespan there may last aeons. In Buddhist cosmology there is no such thing as an eternal heaven or hell.

Beings are reborn into a particular realm according to their karma (actions of thought, speech, deed).

When we pass away, we take rebirth again elsewhere according to the quality of our karma: wholesome actions bring about a desirable rebirth, whereas unwholesome actions lead to an unwanted one. And so the wearisome cycle continues without end [or until enlightenment and final liberation].

The countless worlds in the realms of existence [categorized roughly into 31 varieties] are customarily further divided into three distinct "spheres" (loka), listed here in descending order of refinement:

 

The Immaterial Sphere (arupa-loka) consists of four realms that are accessible to those who pass away while meditating in the formless meditative absorptions or jhanas.

 

The Fine-Material Sphere (rupa-loka) consists of 16 realms whose inhabitants (devas) experience extremely refined degrees of mental pleasure.

These realms are accessible to those who have attained at least some level of meditative absorption and who have thereby managed to (temporarily) suppress aversion and ill-will.

The beings here are said to possess extremely refined bodies of pure light.

The highest of these realms, the "Pure Abodes," are accessible only to those who have attained to the third stage of enlightenment or awakening called "non-returning."
 

The ethereal Fine-Material World and the formless Immaterial World together constitute the "heavens" (sagga) along with the highest of the Sensual Sphere realms.

The Sensual Sphere (kama-loka) consists of 11 realms [including the human world which is much bigger than our minuscule earth] in which experience -- both pleasurable and unpleasant -- is dominated by the five senses.
 

Buddhist, Jain, Vedic "UFO" = vimana.

Seven of these realms are desirable destinations, and include our own human plane as well as several realms occupied by sensual/light body devas (a word that literally means "shining ones").
 

The lowest realms are the four "bad" or unwanted destinations, which consist of the animal, ghost, titan, and hell realms.

Help prepare for Disclosure by learning to practice meditation (Pasadharma)

.

Ready for Disclosure? The night it happened, Jan ran in screaming she had had a sighting. She was carrying her phone, so naturally we asked her if she had photographed it. "Photographed it? I filmed it!" We stared in surprise at the perplexing video, which she had already posted on Facebook for her friends to see and react to. "What about the rest of the world?" "What about them?" "Let's show them your video." "They can friend me and watch it on Facebook." Then her messages started to blow up, and there was no use talking sense to her. Before long "SpaceX" was the explanation.

Once there was a mass sighting on the east coast. Lots of people saw it, lots filmed and photographed it. Before long the powers that be said it was just a bunch of balloons. Never mind that that didn't explain things. It gave people a reflexive go to in answer to anyone saying they saw something "unidentified." "Here, let me identify it for you" based on what the mainstream mass media told me to tell you..." The good thing this time is that, with this excuse, it should be the case that this kind of sighting is replicated because SpaceX is, allegedly, putting up about 80 more satellites or something in the atmosphere. We should have the same kind of spectacular sighting the next however many times. When we don't, we'll know this was something special on the order of the spiral wormhole that opened that time over Scandinavia.
