Patrick Bet-David sits down with Bart Sibrel, an American author and fil maker who has written, produced, and directed works in support of the belief that the Apollo Moon Landings between 1969 and 1972 were staged by NASA under the control of the CIA…

Von Braun admits we could only get to the moon from a space station to refuelAdditionally, we could not even get a live chimpanzee to moon orbit and back because of lethal levels of radiation from Van Allen Radiation Belts…

Using NASA’s Van Allen Probes, new research reveals that the Van Allen radiation belts contain a nearly impenetrable barrier that prevents the fastest, most energetic electrons from reaching Earth.The Van Allen belts are a collection of charged particles, gathered in place by Earth’s magnetic field. They can wax and wane in response to incoming energy from the sun, sometimes swelling up enough to expose satellites in low-Earth orbit to damaging radiation. The discovery of the drain that acts as a barrier within the belts was made using NASA’s Van Allen Probes, launched in August 2012 to study the region. A...

The radiation belts around Earth are loaded with dangerous protons and electrons that can damage spacecraft. Now researchers are launching experiments to see if they can clear away the high-energy particles that pose the hazard by blasting them with radio waves.When humans began exploring space, the first major find was the Van Allen radiation belts, doughnut-shaped zones of magnetically trapped, highly energetic charged particles. The Van Allen belts consist mainly of two rings: The inner belt starts roughly 1000 kilometers above Earth’s surface and extends up to 9600 km, while the outer belt stretches from about 13 500 to 58...

A leading space scientist has called to question the validity of human spaceflight, suggesting that sending astronauts outward from Earth is outdated, too costly, and the science returned is trivial.The human space flight critic is no stranger to space -- in fact he's a pioneer in the space science arena from the premier days of satellite orbiting Earth.James van Allen, Regent Distinguished Professor at the University of Iowa, is the noted discoverer ofradiation belts encircling Earth. His seminal finding -- labeled the Van Allen radiation belts -- stemmed from the scientist's experiment that flew on Explorer1, America’s first satellite to...

Watch the VIDEO of this Moonbat priest deliver a guest "sermon" at Barack Obama's Trinity United Church a couple of months ago and one word comes to mind: FOOL! I put "sermon" in quotes because his rabid rant had NOTHING to do with religion and EVERYTHING to do with Loony Left politics. And what's with that incredibly phony accent he uses? Most people would be embarrassed as hell to be such an obvious phony but this turkey seems to revel in it. And the most frightening part of the whole thing here is that guy, Father Michael Pfleger, is...
