NASA's Shuttle Plans 549

Gerhardius noted a NYT article (you know the obnoxious deal) about new "shuttle" designs coming out of NASA. The payloads are riding up top to avoid debris.

    ...see this as a bit, er, optimistic?

    By making the rockets from shuttle parts, the new plan would draw on the shuttle's existing network of thousands of contractors and technologies, in theory speeding its completion and lowering its price.

    Well, I guess they did say "in theory"...

    I can't believe that people are still denying the truth. Just yesterday, there was a SECOND article about the discover of Planet X. Planet X is returning on it's 4000 year orbit, which means that the race that enslaved us nearly 4000 years ago, the Niburu are coming back. It's not a surprise that we haven't had a successful manned space mission in the last few years. The Bush administration, NASA, the U.S. military and some of the most powerful corporations on the planet are covering this up. Why, you may ask? Because, they have a deal with the Niburu to spare their families from the enslavement when they arrive in a few years time. It is as it was written by the Sumerians and as Zecharaiah Sitchin translated (he is the only man on Earth who can read ancient Sumerian properly).

    One of the requirements that the Niburu required as part of the deal is that humans will not make any manned flights off of the planet anymore. This is why we haven't been able to get a shuttle off the ground for so long. NASA talks about the supposed failures of various systems, but it's just a cover-up. Just like the cover-up they pulled off when the manned space station jsut a couple years ago hear strange sounds coming from the outside. The sounds were the sounds of a Niburu operative crawling around on the outside of the station. NASA later claimed it was just a bit of casing that had been damaged and needed to be fixed. What really happened? The anstronauts were reprogrammed to become Niburu operatives and came back to Earth to infiltrate NASA.

    What about the dead astronaut found in the Arabian dessert? What? You didn't hear about that? Maybe it's because the Niburu controlled media don't want you to hear about it. They've been stirring things up on the global front to get the commoners at each other's throats so that we are in disarray when they arrive to enslave us. The real story is that a dead astronaut was found in the Arabian dessert after he had unwittingly announced the discovery of Planet X back in the 90s when that comet was going to slam into Jupiter. Why didn't Jupiter ignite into a big sun when that happened? Because the Niburu prevented the ignition with their awesome mind control. But they didn't do it to protect us out of goodness. They did it to protect us as property. So, this dead astronaut was found in the Arabian dessert. And that's why.

    Don't fall for the cover-ups. Read the teachings of Zecharaiah Sitchin. And prepare for the intergalactic battle with the Niburu. Our politicians, military and business men have sold us out, so it's up to us to get armed to the teeth and fight when the invasion force comes. One of the most imporatant weapons you can get right now is a telescope and some astrophotography gear. Print out the photos of the impending approach of Planet X and post them everywhere online and in real life. Make sure that everyone knows about the conspiracy. This ain't no time to go wastin' away in Margaritaville.

    Might you be willing to share some of the "groovy pharmaceuticals" you are partaking in? If your writings are any indicator, they seem to be of exceptional quality and potency.

    Okay, at first I thought this guy was off his chum. But then I googled "Arabian Dessert", and sure enough: http://www.thebirthday.com/recipes.html [thebirthday.com]

    "Muhallabia ~ an Arabian dessert
    Ingredients:
    1/2 cup rice, picked, washed and soaked in 1/2 cup milk
    5-1/2 cups milk
    1/2 cup sugar
    a handful of almonds, blanched*and sliced
    a few drops rose water
    a few pistachios. chopped
    1 astronaut. dead
    Directions:
    Blend the rice and milk. Make it into an absolutely smooth paste. Pry the astronaut's head off with a teaspoon.
    Bring the rest of the milk to boil in the large pan. Pour the ground rice and sugar into it. Drop the astronaut in. Stir continuously, on a low fire till the whole mixture thickens. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the almonds, and rose water. Stir in gently. Pour into the glasses or bowls. Cool and chill.
    Sprinkle over the chopped pistachios. Top with the little helmet. And the exotic, Arabian dessert is ready to eat.
    * To blanch the almonds put them into a bowl and pour hot water over. After a few minutes the skins will slip off easily. Then slice and chop the way you like with no sweating."

A failure will not appear until a unit has passed final inspection.
