From The Desk Of Tim Ozman 12/27/21: Space Cowboys VS Space Commies The cowboy hat Jeff Bezo wore to space is a visual metaphor about space being the new Wild West. The manner in which the billionaires are exploiting space has gone from egregious and privileged to dangerous and disruptive. For example, Imperator Elon Musk's CubeSats endangered the Chinese space station. China complained that twice its space station was forced to take evasive action to dodge CubeSats from Musk's Starlink program. Some on Weibo(the Chinese Twitter) are describing the CubeSats as "American space warfare weapons." This cannot be separated from the ongoing Space Wars that began earlier this year when China allowed a large piece of junk to endanger anyone between 42 degrees latitudes north and south. This was a booster from the launch which put the first module of their space station into orbit. .. The space drama above follows three instances of the ISS dodging space junk with evasive maneuvers. This, however, is different in that it's a capitalist, the richest man on Earth, who is endangering the Chinese space station. This underscores the basis for the Space Wars: the competing visions of space communism and space capitalism. Interestingly, most of the new shows on Netflix right now have space junk and falling space stations in the first seasons. The 100, Cowboy Bebop, and Don't Look Up all feature falling objects endangering mankind. Don't Look Up in particular highlights the problem of allowing greedy capitalists to manage humanity's ascension into the NWO Heaven, aka, Outer Space. In the case of Don't Look Up, the wealthy politicians and tech-billionaires decide the fate of man, resulting in global destruction. This echoes the global-warming narrative: that capitalism is killing us all. Selfish interests result in the destruction of the collective. I'd also like to point out the connection between The Titanic and Don't Look Up: * Leonardo DeCaprio stars in this film which is about a comet, like a space iceberg, on a course to hit the Earth. * Planet Earth, in this film, is The Titanic, and its passengers are too entertained to care about impending threats until it's too late. Scientist Brian Cox commented that we could learn from the movie and possibly avoid the death of humanity. The interlocking agendas are all pointing at the same inevitable confrontation: Space Wars. The Space Race never ended. Now it's getting close to the finish line. Will we treat the Universe as we treated the Earth? (more at https://timozman.blog/ )
The satellites from Starlink Internet Services, a division of Musks SpaceX aerospace company, had two close encounters with the Chinese space station on July 1 and Oct. 21, according to a document submitted by China earlier this month to the UNs space agency.
Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones lit into former President Donald Trump on Saturday for his recent statements supporting the Covid-19 vaccinations. “This is an emergency Christmas Day warning to President Trump,” Jones said.

As NASA's astronauts prepare to fulfill the Vision for Space Exploration with increasingly lengthy missions, scientists are trying to find a way for them to grow their own food. Plants offer a promising solution in providing food to astronauts thousands of miles from Earth. They could grow crops that would not only supplement a healthy diet, but also remove toxic carbon dioxide from the air inside their spacecraft and create life-sustaining oxygen.

Credit: NASA/KSC Since the Space Shuttle and even International Space Station expeditions are relatively short-duration endeavors, astronauts do well with physical and chemical forms of life support. But for future long-duration missions and colonies on the Moon or Mars, scientists believe a life support system with a biological component (such as plants) -- called a "bioregenerative life support system" -- has several benefits. "If you continually resupply and deliver commodities like food, that will become much more costly than producing your own food," says Ray Wheeler, plant physiologist at Kennedy Space Center's Space Life Sciences Lab. "You can achieve some autonomy with bioregenerative capability." But developing such a system isn't as simple as planting some fruits, vegetables and wheat in space or on distant planets. "It's not a quick-start kind of thing," Wheeler says. "You don't suddenly say, 'We need a bioregenerative system for the Moon because we want to stay there for 12 months, or five years.' It takes a long time to build and evaluate these systems." Scientists are investigating how different amounts of three factors -- light, temperature and carbon dioxide -- affect plant growth. A fourth factor is the species and variety of plants. Inside closed plant growth chambers at KSC, radishes, lettuce and green onions grow "hydroponically" in nutrient-enriched fluid. Light, temperature and carbon dioxide levels are carefully controlled. Scientists are comparing how plant species grow together in "mixed cultures" versus by themselves in "monocultures." Image to right: Plant physiologist Ray Wheeler checks onions being grown using hydroponic techniques. The other plants are Bibb lettuce (left) and radishes (right). Credit: NASA/KSC Why would this matter? First, some plants give off chemical compounds that can poison their neighbors, clearing the way for the aggressive plant to spread. "It's not common in crop plants. You don't see problems with invasive lettuce growing all around," Wheeler says with a smile. "But we want to confirm it." Also, some plants may use nutrients more aggressively than others. For example, some species might be heavy nitrogen users that would be fine on their own but would take away from other species. Another concern is the competition of plants for light, based on how they grow. If one species grows taller and spreads out wider than the species beside it, the larger plant may block the light from the smaller plants. Apart from these environmental variables, scientists are examining the effects of different types of lighting on plants to determine which color best helps them grow. Another consideration is atmospheric pressure. Image to left: Arabidopsis plants appear purple under red and green light produced by light-emitting diodes. Scientists are studying plant growth under various light conditions. Credit: NASA/KSC "We want to see how plants are affected if we reduce the pressure inside their environment, to make it more like that of the surface," Wheeler explains. "Some benefits of lower pressure would be more leeway in structural material choices, better visibility because you wouldn't need as thick a cover, and fewer leaks." In the Vision for Space Exploration, NASA is already looking ahead to a future on the Moon, Mars and beyond. Thanks in part to the life sciences research underway today, tomorrow's astronauts may enjoy a more efficient life-support system... and some freshly grown food. Anna Heiney NASA's John F.
