Space Program

UNCOVER THE SPACE MISSION THAT “NEVER HAPPENED” Buried ruins. Alien artifacts. A silent launch no one was supposed to see. In 1972, as the world believed the Apollo program was drawing to a close, a myth began to stir—one so compelling that it refused to vanish. Decades later, a grainy video would appear online, claiming to show the lost footage of a secret joint U.S.–Soviet moon mission: Apollo 20. This supposed mission discovered alien ruins beneath the lunar ice, a colossal abandoned spacecraft, and even a strange, preserved humanoid dubbed the “Lunar Mona Lisa.” The footage ...

In 1955, as a result of a secret agreement reached between the Eisenhower Administration and a German breakaway group in Antarctica, a transnational corporate space program began to emerge. The secret infusion of personnel and resources from US military contractors into Antarctica allowed this transnational corporate program to steadily grow into a major space power, which would eventually surpass and eclipse the secret space programs run by the US Navy, Air Force, and the classified space programs of other nations.

The role of not only the test pilots but the engineers, aerodynamicists, and support staff in making supersonic flight possible has been widely overlooked. Beyond Blue Skies charts the triumphs and tragedies of the rocket-plane era and the unsung efforts of the men and women who made amazing achievements possible.

In this story — Omega Space Program, Earth's premature death is triggered by a rogue sun, forcing humanity’s last hope into space aboard two advanced vessels: the Solaris Ark, manned by scientists seeking new habitable worlds, and the Omega Ark, an automated bio-vault carrying genetically engineered lifeforms designed for alien colonization. While Solaris charts a path of exploration, Omega is knocked off course, drifting toward a mysterious exoplanet.

If the United States couldn’t catch up to the Soviets in space, how could it compete with them on Earth? That was the question facing John F. Kennedy at the height of the Cold War. On February 20, 1962, when John Glenn blasted into orbit aboard Friendship 7, his mission was not only to circle the planet; it was to calm the fears of the free world and renew America’s sense of self-belief. Mercury Rising recreates the tension and excitement of a flight that shifted the momentum of the space race and put the United States on the path to the moon.

Getting to the moon was Chris's lifelong dream. And he had the brains, body, and boldness to do it—that is, until he lost his legs in a motorcycle accident. Even then, the universe found a way to make that dream happen when a private tech company offered him his shot at lunar glory—that is, until his ship exploded after liftoff. Suddenly, somehow, Chris finds himself transported to a new world—and a new body. A goblin body. No . . . a goblin king body!

A compelling look inside the Space Shuttle missions that helped lay the groundwork for the Space Age, Shuttle, Houston explores the determined personalities, technological miracles, and 11th-hour saves that have given us human spaceflight. Relaying stories of missions (and their grueling training) in vivid detail, Paul Dye, NASA's longest-serving flight director, examines the split-second decisions that the directors and astronauts were forced to make in a field where mistakes are unthinkable and errors led to the loss of national resources - and more importantly one's crew.

It has become clear JP, a soldier currently serving within the US Army, is part of a covert disclosure initiative to expose the public to the diverse projects involving “non-human intelligence” and exotic technologies that are known to the US military. However, in true military fashion this is being done in a way that maintains plausible deniability. As you will discover in Volume 2, almost all of JP’s missions involve “non-human intelligence” based on Earth in underwater or underground locations.

This book is not a religious/spiritual adventure but one of facts. The shroud of Turin exists as a photographic negative and dates back from an era (around 2,000 years) - prior to the invention of the camera. The components of the cloth have been newly examined under “EXTREME SCIENTIFIC SCRUTINY” using the latest technological equipment by groups of scientists, among them the scientists involved in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Their findings reveal an intense “instantaneous” burst of radiation as responsible for each marking. There exists no other ...

The story within this book is confronting, seemingly impossible, and beyond logic for the common person. How could someone be kidnapped, live in their body for twenty years, then returned to the point of kidnapping at the same age? Once unheard of, a twenty year tour—often partially served in outer space—has now become a phenomenon that more and more claim to have experienced. Few have the depth of memory and detail as Tony Rodrigues. This is an account of what is being hidden from us and just how far they have gone without us. Deep in our souls, we know the truth is stranger than ...

This edition of Margot Lee Shetterly’s acclaimed book is perfect for young students. It's the powerful story of four African-American female mathematicians at NASA who helped achieve some of the greatest moments in our space program. Before John Glenn orbited the earth, or Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, a group of dedicated female mathematicians known as “human computers” used pencils, slide rules, and adding machines to calculate the numbers that would launch rockets, and astronauts, into space.

Is there a secret space program that is connected in some way to UFOs? Providing a wealth of data and context for the listener, historian Richard Dolan offers his own conclusion: Yes, there is indeed such a program. But this program is not a simple extension of the normal operations of the US government or military, much less of NASA. Instead, it seems to be the product of what Dolan has previously termed a “breakaway civilization”, a radically advanced and increasingly separate structure that has access to classified science and data denied to the rest of us.
