POPSIndia launches first unmanned moon mission In the last year, Asian nations have taken the lead in moon exploration. In October 2007, Japan sent up the Kaguya spacecraft. A month later, China's Chang'e-1 entered lunar orbit. Those missions took high-resolution pictures of the moon, but are not as comprehensive as Chandrayaan-1 will be or NASA's half-a-billion-dollar Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter scheduled to be launched next year, Pace said. The most comprehensive maps of the moon were made about 40 years ago during the Apollo era, he said.

POPSCoast to Coast AM Interview - John Lear: UFO Secrets Revealed
In his first interview with George Noory, retired airline pilot John Lear spoke on a variety of topics which included his experiences as a pilot, NASA's secret space missions, and life on other planets. A fourth astronaut died in the Apollo 1 fire of 1967 but the reason it wasn't made public was because he belonged to the "secret astronaut corps,".. This secret program started going to the moon in 1962 and landed on Mars in 1966, apparently using covert anti-gravity technology. Publicized space missions such as the Shuttle are actually a cover-up for what is really going on, added Lear. Also kept from the public, is the fact that there is life similar to ours on most of the planets in our solar system, he declared. For instance, Mars has a population of 660 million (mostly underground) and Venus is actually "green and beautiful." Further, the sky is blue on both Mars and our Moon, Lear said. Earth, he asserted, is a "farm for harvesting souls," and when people die their souls trave

POPSDid our Solar System once have another planet? The fiery demise of a fifth rocky planet in our Solar System might have led to a flurry of asteroid impacts that pockmarked the Moon and Earth billions of years ago. The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) is a relatively brief period, about 3.9 billion years ago, when wayward space projectiles heavily pelted the Moon and inner planets. Craters on the Moon better match asteroids from the Asteroid Belt, located beyond the orbit of Mars.

POPSWhy America Needs to Explore Space I've often heard people question the "waste" of money to the space program. In their ignorance they simply do not know all the advances we've developed for the pittance in cost. Much more knowledge in the article.

POPSAstronauts recall view before Earth Day (con't) "Up in space when you see a sunset or sunrise, the light is coming to you from the sun through that little shell of the Earth's atmosphere and back out to the spacecraft you're in. The atmosphere acts like a prism. So for a short period of time you see not only the reds, oranges and yellows, the luminous quality like you see on Earth, but you see the whole spectrum red-orange-yellow-blue-green-indigo-violet. "I left Earth three times. I found no place else to go. Please take care of Spaceship Earth." _Wally Schirra, who flew around Earth on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions in the 1960s.
