A little late to ask this question but......Why?

Friends,


I know the World is in turmoil it would appear to most if not all of us but there are those among us that still ask the question- Why?


I ask why can't we use old technology to continue forward further than we have gone or in other words traveled before?


Maybe I've been out of the loop on a few too long but it seems that a second docking port on the Space Station could have been utilized as a permanent docking port for the shuttle.


The reason?


Leave one in orbit with the station and let the thinker's think on the subject and refuel it or what have you using the Russian rocket til we get "our" new rocket on line that's supposed to be so much more fuel efficient than the old heavy life one that got "us" to the moon in the first place!


The bottom-line is maybe that should still be a consideration before we ship off the fleet to the tourist destinations.


Why?


Hell I don't know I'm just trying to get my mind working again back to the point I can write a little bit and who knows that shuttle might be able to take a trip on out a little further because like someone mentioned yesterday it's easier to go to a lower orbit than it is get to higher orbit.


We could always collect some space junk and and sell it on E-bay! LOL!


Put a 20 mm cannon on it and blow somethin up!


The nuclear waste at Los alamos and the history of the old Space 1999 series got me to thinkin about it yesterday.


Not to mention the Asteroid deal and some Aerosmith!


Have a good day.


God bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!

How many Stars are there in the Universe? NASA estimates?

Citizens of Planet Earth,


How many Stars are there in our Universe? Is it the only Universe God has created and only 1 planet in that universe is in that ideal location in orbit around our particular Star to enable life as we know it to exist?


What is life as we know it?


What if I said that NASA estimates that there are certain areas around each Star like our sun that can be called the "Goldi-locks" zone? Well maybe NASA didn't come up with that idea all by themselves but even still the idea is an amazing one to consider.


Earth and Mars are the 2 planets in our Solar system that are within are close to that so-called "Goldi-locks" zone. Why?


Readers because the Sun our Star is a certain size and emits a certain amount of heat from it's nuclear reactions on continuous basis every second of every minute of every hour of every day our our short lives here on this beautiful blue planet!


That heat given off is the basis of life in my opinion and obviously that of many other people that think of such things as "what is out there that we don't know about?


The size of a Star, it's age, size and other things I do not know determine where that "Goldi-locks" zone is located and most likely many of the estimated number of Stars NASA released today have such a zone!


The number of Stars? 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000! Anyone know that number?


How many of those have planets circling them in that perfect zone for life?


God only knows but wouldn't it be a wonderful thing for us as humans to venture out and discover some of those planets in somebody's lifetime? I would think so!


Do I think God cares if we find such life prior to his allowing us to know the rest of the story?


I doubt it and you should too because like it or not we were instilled with a "free-will" by God our creator to beleive or not to beleive!


I personally beleive and the fighting we have to do among ourselves here on this planet only holds back a race of beings from reaching it's potential!


Maybe Evil is discord among the people's of this planet and maybe it is our own fear of the unknown that let's people with shallow minds and selfish hearts hold us back!


The math isn't important but the very fact we have come so far but so little in the last 500 to 1000 years in development is astonishing don't you think?


Jesus is my savior that I know and that became almost an instant reason to live on once in my life and continues Today as I'm sure it does in all Christians but other faiths have our foundation as well and if you just walk outside on a star filled night you might or especially as the Sun our Star rises over the blue-green ocean wonder the same things as I!


God Bless, Peace, Love and knowledge as we were created in an almighty God's image and you don't need the Bible to tell you this but it does in so many places that many people seem afraid to pay attention. New Testament or Old.


Regardless of your faith and on what it is based wonder is out there for this race of beings and remember intelligence may be based on more than we expect or less or vise-versa!
