US Space Race and Side Projects

Space Programme Contradiction - Partly Fact Partly Fiction “And apparently, NASA must be used to convince the public that our current technology, such as with our very old and decrepit Space Shuttle program, is the best we have, while our military conducts space missions with technology that we can only fantasize about while watching Star Trek.” - USAF Medic, 1980s ************************************************************************************************************************************* A bit of German technology/"Paper Clip" development led to the X-20 Dyna-Soar being launched on top of Titan booster allegedly operated only from 1957 to 1963 after many MILLION$ were spent on it. Ironically, in the late 1950s, Sputnik gave America the proverbial "boot in the booty" that caused the USA to develop Telstar. Americans were then and later understandably perturbed by rockets falling on Mexico especially when the Russians with their "bullet in the head" appeared to be more effective than "forgive, forget, assimilate into the melting pot." that "turned around" even "Soviet sleeper spy cells". ************************************************************************************************************************************ Could that Dyna-Soar technology, also worked up and developed by the Soviets, be the beginning of American military's secret space that never was "mothballed"? ************************************************************************************************************************************ In November of 2007, Linda McCartney did not interview Michael Schratt, Armstrong Aerospace draftsman, about his aerospace research. Schratt may have been asked the burning, but paraphrased question," Have black budget trillions gone into a secret American space program that is behind the scenes for the very public and newsworthy NASA?" Michael Schratt, being of sound body and even sounder mind may have answered sounding a lot like a female politician with dubious accomplishments in fluent 5th grader legalese bafflegab. ************************************************************************************************************************************ Not all space programmes are secret or begin that way, but the high tech ones always do. Occasionally, after every spy organization in the world is aware, the government involved will "fess up" or ADMIT to having one, most easily accomplished by unveiling the craft. ************************************************************************************************************************************ The MOL  or Manned Orbital Laboratory was discussed at length in a TV documentary that was even mentioned by famed pilot John Lear on a website. The documentary and history website even named the astronauts and featured their pictures. A fitting tribute these brave men who risked death "riding atop a giant firecracker of sorts. That was the orbiting U.S. mission story, later portrayed on television a very long while after Mercury, Gemini and Apollo space programmes were publicized. According to the aforementioned John Lear, renouned pilot and son of the famous Lear Jet designer/inventor of the 8-track tape,"There are 4,000 astronauts in a secret corps, which is part of the U.S. Strategic Command, and they first landed on the moon in 1962 and Mars in 1966.(1) Most Russian flights, in contrast, were secret in case it FAILED glaringly but clandestinely like the spectacular one with the cosmonaut, Vladimir Komarov, frying, dying and cursing his superiors for his "crispy critter" fate. The "upset conversation" was taped by ham radio operators and others. That burnt corpse is pictured on the internet in at least two photos, and the Russians claimed that a non-burnt-to-a-crisp foot or jut a bone - allowed positive identification, probably via blood sample. The poor hero had a partner in death, who apparently said nothing for fear of retribution to his family. Something to do with that "We the willing...". (2) ************************************************************************************************************************************ "Flotsam" found on Vancover beaches has similarly been tested and the shoes identified which lends some credence but not much to the "unburned foot" identification before the advent of DNA testing. Why would someone's FOOT survive when the other three, and even the skulls, did not? Human feet usually have 32 bones which afford very little protection from burning. ************************************************************************************************************************************ Later on in the twenty-first century, a career federal employee physicist working behind the scenes for and with Project Blue Book in the 1960s admitted that he did work out of Wright-Patterson in that day and time. He also admitted that in the 1960s, the U. S. Air Force had two of what he called "UFOs". He said that Wright-Patterson hangar doors would be opened, probably manually, in the middle of the night and "zip" them out of the hangars going really fast. ************************************************************************************************************************************ Even Richard Sauder, Ph.D. discussed in his books that fact that it is highly likely that there are multiple, secret, classified, tightly compartmentalized UFO and space programs – not just a single space program but programS, plural, and that the U. S. military and NASA have been lying through their teeth to the American people about all of this since at least the World War II era, if not before. ************************************************************************************************************************************ Richard Sauder, Ph.D.,: Oh, sure! I assign a very high probability to that likelihood that there is a secret parallel American space program, or programs, plural, using non-conventional aerospace technologies. I’m speaking of things such as electrogravitics and anti-gravity along the lines of what Thomas Townsend Brown and John Searle did back in the 20th Century in their research going back to the 1930s and coming up to the 1960s." ************************************************************************************************************************************ New York Times reporter, William Broad, reported that the USAF was abandoning a major space control center in Colorado and a $3.3 billion never-used spaceport at Vandenberg AFB, according to the Air Force. ************************************************************************************************************************************ As for the USA, lately, the X-37, then later X-37B - started as a NASA project in 1999, then over to the Department of Defense (DoD) as an orbiter programme, USA-212, then USA-227, USA-240, and the ongoing fourth mission presently in progress - the USA-261 launched May 20, 2015. Their missions as unmanned Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV), are to function as reusable unmanned spacecraft testing heat shields and hypersonic aerodynamic handling and all manner of conceivables. Presumably the non-sequential numbers indicate glider testing and other testing. Obviously, the keyword is reusable since space junk is already very numerous and even frighteningly so as evidenced by the movie,"Gravity". An Earth-bound crew got an award for "protecting American projects" from space junk, several years ago. Incidentally, the Vandenberg spaceport was re-modelled and used for the X-37B unmanned re-entry spacecraft landed at Vandenberg. Lately, these have been orbiting for over 400 days. Two or three have landed, been slightly modified, then sent back up. In 2009, an X-37B was about 30 feet long and about 15 feet wide. Essentially, the thrust of the story was that the USAF spent billions of dollars on a secret 32-man astronaut corps and a secret spaceport and launch control center (LCC) and never used any of it! I simply do not believe this account as put forth by the USAF. I believe, in fact, that the opposite is likely to be true and that the U. S. military does have, and has had, not one but likely multiple secret space programs using both conventional aerospace technologies and also unconventional technologies such as electro-gravitic and nuclear propulsion modes. ************************************************************************************************************************************ I believe it is highly possible that the USAF has put up its own space shuttles, perhaps using Dyno-Soar style technology, and very likely using the facilities at Vandenberg AFB that they told us back in the late 1980s that they lavished billions of dollars on and never used. Linda, I think that’s a stretch. They probably did use them." ************************************************************************************************************************************ Not necessarily to "keep up with the Jones'" or "muddy the water", or make cover on the alleged "Dyno-Soar waste", Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Ingalls Shipbuilding division was awarded a fixed-price incentive, multiyear contract for construction of five Arleigh Burke-class destroyers (DDG 51s) for the U.S Navy back in 2013 amounting to USD 3.3 Billion. (3) ************************************************************************************************************************************ Likewise, the first announcment on December 21, 2006 of the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) to Hawker Beechcraft Inc., a new company formed by GS Capital Partners, an affiliate of Goldman Sachs, and Onex Partners for approximately $3.3 billion in cash. (4) ************************************************************************************************************************************ Why, golly gee, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has even “invested” more than $3.3 billion in what they call “College-Ready Education” projects. (5) ************************************************************************************************************************************ In the words of NCIS character, "Jethro Gibbs", "Mere coincidence, just a happy-go-lucky happenstance!" Several of these vast sums of money happen to be $3.3 billion. Even the famous Harrison J. Bounel would declare,""Tis the rhyme of the pup. You can't 'MTSU'." ************************************************************************************************************************************ 1)http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=12826 ************************************************************************************************************************************ 2)http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/remains-astronaut-vladimir-komarov-man-fell-space-1967/ ************************************************************************************************************************************ 3)http://navaltoday.com/2013/06/04/usa-usd-3-3-billion-contract-for-arleigh-burke-class-destroyers/ ************************************************************************************************************************************ 4) http://avstop.com/news/raytheon_learjet.htm ************************************************************************************************************************************ 5) http://www.artofteachingscience.org/how-the-gates-foundation-used-3-38-billion-in-college-ready-education-grants-to-change-education-policy/ ************************************************************************************************************************************ Misc: When Germany decided to launch an air offensive against Dover (at Normandy, on June 6. 1944?), (hot air?) barrage balloons complicated attack plans and German fighters shot down 50 some odd balloons one day (wasting hot lead that COULD have killed live people). The very next day dozens more balloons were floated and the Germans lost 6 aircraft (which hopefully killed 6 live Nazis who failed to bail!). The Secret Weapon bomb was comprised of 26 flat chambers, each one housing 40 Mexican Free-Tailed Bats. Each bat had an incendiary explosive attached that was timed to go off a few hours later after the bat flew into a wooden Japanese building or a "bellfry". After spending a lot of time, money and effort, "brass" decided that the US had "bats in its bellfry" if this even way attempted. Bats escaped during testing, causing FIRES in the USA, which PROVED the concept was workable but the "brass" killed the deal anyway. WTF (liquor and two dances) esp in light of later... BTW, many B-29 (probably firebombed cities) then dropped lots of leaflets warning the Japanese population to stay out of cities because ANOTHER atomic bomb was going to totally destroy as had one bomb at Hiroshima. Last but not least...Lyudmila Pavlichenko, a woman with a rifle, killed more bad guys than Rambo. Unless of course, Lyudmila Pavlichenko was a certain Finland MAN who got shot in the eye, while taking out over 100 Nazis! For a B-Ching read on a BLACK aircraft pilot...born in 1894 in Columbus, Georgia, ran away from home at 8, English troubador at 10, ship's coal shoveller at 11, dancer and jockey in Paris, legendary Mr. Eugene Bullard --combat pilot, jazz drummer, boxer, spy. Awards for flying heroism included the Croix De Guerre, the Legion of Honor, and the Medaille Militaire for bravery and a military retirement commission for WWI service in over 20 missions with the nickname the "Black Swallow of Death." His SPAD bi-plane sported an image of a dagger through a heart and the saying: “Taut Song Qui Est Rouge…” All Blood Runs Red. http://web.archive.org/web/20090608091803/http://civilianmilitaryintelligencegroup.com/?p=27&cpage=1#comment-11 Sputnik 2 fell back to Earth on April 14, 1958, burning up during re-entry ************************************************************************************************************************************* *************************************************************************************** As for the USA, lately, the X-37, then later X-37B - started as a NASA project in 1999, then over to the Department of Defense (DoD) as an orbiter programme, USA-212, then USA-227, USA-240, and the ongoing fourth mission presently in progress - the USA-261 launched May 20, 2015.

Some conspiracists hold that advocates of Alternative 3 "disappeared them" to places unknown.**************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** The UK hacker of "2001: A Solar Warden Oddity" so to speak, Gary McKinnon believed that he saw "off-world" secret space programme activity. It is truly unusual that the U.S. Navy has not named any vessels for two of its greatest officers who ever lived. Gary McKinnon believes that he saw non-terrestial officer rosters glimpsed by only a few, possibly a "honeypot", devised to entice hundreds of hackers from all over the world. Seemingly FLIPPANT comments like,"We now have the technology to take ET home.” by Ben Rich, CEO of Lockheed Skunk Works, 1993 have spawned acres of speculation and imagination. ************************************************************************************************************************************* The Alternative 3 conspiracy is said to be linked to mysterious disappearances amongst top scientists. A 1977 television show aired a video tape which was supposedly taken of a joint 1962 US/USSR mission to Mars. Conspiracies have even linked this "1962 mission with the JFK assassination. Many researchers, including Richard Dolan, strongly believe that a "breakaway civilization" may exist. Rumours even abound that, like US POTUS Eisenhower in 1954, Soviet Premiere Nikita Khrushchev had a secret meeting with a high-tech flying machine crew in 1959. ************************************************************************************************************************************* Numerous "high technology flying machines" have crashed, among them the one on March 25, 1948 near Hart Canyon, Aztec, New Mexico. Sixteen "foreign-looking bodies" were written about by Frank Scully, whose name appears in hit Sci-Fi as Dr.Scully. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************** We the willing, led by the unknowing...
