ENDEAVOUR - the 30-year Space Shuttle hoax

However in this site they don't even mention the word "space" in keronite's applications

Applications

Because of the flexibility and multi-functional nature of Keronite ceramic surfaces, the industrial applications are extremely wide ranging: from automotive body and engine parts to consumer products, textile machinery, tooling and moulding applications, and more recently, architectural panels for the external cladding of buildings.

Most curious indeed...

Conversely, the word "ceramic" is never mentioned in the ESA technical COLD WELDING report (as posted above):

A thick‘Keronite’ coating (20 µm), which is based on a plasma-electrolytic
oxidation (PEO) process, is not only resistant to fretting but also avoids
debris formation. A test using an uncoated titanium pin against coated
titanium discs did not provide a ‘general solution’. All thin coatings – solid
lubricants and hard coatings – were destroyed in the fretting contact. The
best combinations still showed medium adhesion after breakage of the
coating. The combination titanium and low-adhesion steel also did not
provide a solution. Further research will target thick coatings produced
by PEO (Keronite).

Whereas Powdertech (the KERONITE experts) make it very clear on their website that :

"The patented Keronite process uses Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) to transform the surface of light alloys such as aluminium and magnesium into a dense, hard ceramic with outstanding resistance to corrosion and wear. As a ceramic, the surface has other useful characteristics: it acts as a thermal barrier and an electrical insulator, and yet, unusually for a ceramic, the Keronite layer remains flexible and resistant to cracking or chipping and provides extremely good adhesion for scratch-resistant topcoats.

NASA Chief Under Fire For Personal Shuttle Use

NASA Administrator Michael Griffin has yet to respond to recent allegations that he used NASA space shuttles on as many as one dozen unauthorized outings to such destinations as New York City, the French Riviera, and his vacation home near Ketchum, ID.

A report issued Monday by NASA's Oversight Commission indicates a cumulative 1.8 million miles unaccounted for on the Atlantic, Discovery, and Endeavor shuttles. In addition, shuttle pilot James Kelly reported numerous occasions on which he found the pilot seat "adjusted for someone else."
...
Trajectory-optimization engineer Russ Holcum said he'd long suspected that Griffin "had an in" with the staff in Engineering and Fabrication. Said Holcum: "I figured he knew someone who cut him an extra set of keys or two."

Holcum added: "More than once, I heard him ask the Mission Control guys if they'd mind 'counting him down' on his way out before a long weekend."

In a press conference held Tuesday, NASA spokesperson Arjun Congrove apologized to taxpayers for the billions of dollars expended on the unauthorized missions.

"The shuttle costs an estimated $2 billion per launch, not counting delays and repairs, and for Mr. Griffin to use it to take his wife on luxury shopping trips to Europe is not appropriate," Congrove said. "We apologize to affected personnel at NASA, and to the good people of New York City whose homes were vaporized by Mr. Griffin's several unauthorized launches near LaGuardia Airport."

Griffin may face penalties ranging from dismissal to having his salary garnished for the next 376 years in order to pay for fuel.

The onion is a news spoof satirical site. All their news are mock ups. They might have other purposes though as disorienting the public on evident fakery, as the shuttle was.

'Monolith' Object on Mars? You Could Call It That

Amateur stargazers have discovered an intriguing object jutting out from the surface of Mars. The seemingly perfectly rectangular, upright structure, found in NASA images of the Red Planet, bears a striking resemblance to the monoliths planted on Earth and the moon by aliens in the classic sci-fi film "2001: A Space Odyssey."

The object in question was first spotted several years ago after being photographed by the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a NASA space probe; every so often, it garners renewed interest on the Internet. But is it unnatural — a beacon erected by aliens for mysterious reasons, and even more mysteriously paralleled in the imaginations of Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, creators of "2001"? Or is this rock the work of nature? [Photo ]

According to Jonathon Hill, a research technician and mission planner at the Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University, who processes many of the images taken during NASA's Mars missions, the object in question is no more than a roughly rectangular boulder.

The HiRISE camera that photographed it has a resolution of approximately 1 foot (30 centimeters) per pixel — impressive considering the 180-mile (300-kilometer) altitude from which it photographs the Martian surface, but not quite sharp enough to capture the cragginess of a mid-size boulder. "When your resolution is too low to fully resolve an object, it tends to look rectangular because the pixels in the image are squares. Any curve will look like a series of straight lines if you reduce your resolution enough," Hill told Life's Little Mysteries.

The location of the boulder at the bottom of a cliff near many other boulders suggests it broke off the cliff and tumbled to its current spot sometime in the distant past, Hill said. Such a perilous location is itself an argument against deliberate placement by aliens: "If I was going to build a monolith somewhere, that's the last place I would put it!" he said. "The debris falling from the cliff would cover it up pretty quickly, on geologic timescales."

Hill added that the height of the boulder is being exaggerated in the photo by a low sun angle. Photographed when the sun was near the horizon, the boulder casts an especially long shadow.

Gladly! As you know, I like to COMPARE two given clips of a same (purported) event - to look for any discrepancies between the two.

Here are two views of the alleged $225million "DELTA III -259" (1998) as it 'malfunctioned' - from two supposed cameras:

VIEW FROM BELOW: _________________________________SIDEVIEW:


That's a pretty bad deal for some damn expensive CGI - if you ask me !

If anything, American taxpayers should start questioning where the heck their money goes.

"Delta Flight 259: The inaugural launch on 26 August 1998 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station ended in failure, when software adapted from the Delta II caused a guidance failure during first-stage flight. The failure and subsequent vehicle motion depleted the hydraulic fluid used for steering. Upon loss of control, the vehicle was destroyed."

SOYUZ TOURIST LIFTOFF - Destination ISS

You've gotta hand it to the Russians...
- Their Soyuz rockets serving the ISS are now silent enough for reporters to chat away while they lift off
- Their Soyuz rockets are now nature-friendly/ecological - and produce hardly any smoke trail at all
- Their Soyuz program gets financed by filthy rich tourists - happy to fork out $35 million to get taken for a ride

[hollycrap]

Thanks Simon!

I knew this was the most blatant



Also Simon, analyze the mammoth rocket when it fails and gets swallowed 90% by the ground.

And this one is for laughs!


On a side note, investigators having reached the limit you and most on this forum have, say that in order to keep a secret of a scam involving so many people, the people should be "compartmentalized", that is everybody knows a little bit only a handful know about the full scheme.

I think the female reporter above belies this hypothesis, with a toy Soyuz bursting off a green screen.

people are liars and willing to lie for $$$$$$

Also Simon, analyze the mammoth rocket when it fails and gets swallowed 90% by the ground.

I love it how that HUGE final explosion does nothing to the rocket tip -
which just keeps gently toppling over in same spot...unscathed !

Natasha darling could you just unbutton your jacket a tad more and wave your hand up and down! That's it perfect! Nobody will notice it's a Woolworth Toy Rocket!

1. in focus foreground
2. out of focus mid-ground
3. in focus background again

This is impossible with a single shot. It has to be a composite (i.e., green screen, etc)
