    Default Blue Origin's First Human Flight

    It is the first launch of Blue Origin's New Shepard spacecraft to carry to carry passengers after 15 successful unpiloted test flights. After lift off from the company's West Texas launch site, it will rocket to an altitude of more than 62 miles above the Earth, where the passengers will experience about three minutes of weightlessness and stunning views out of the largest windows ever built into a space capsule before plunging back into the lower atmosphere and parachuting down to landing.

    What's utterly wonderful about this flight (though Bezos is using this as a PR stunt, for sure, so all cynicism about his motives is justified), is that one of the passengers will be legendary woman aviator Wally Funk.

    Wally is now 82 years old, and although she was in the frame 60 years ago as a very early astronaut, she was always passed over because of NASA's misogyny.

    It's a marvelous story. At long last, nearing the end of her very long and extraordinary life, she gets to ride into space, always her unfulfilled dream.


    Here are a couple of photos of her back in her heyday...





    ... and here she is today.

    Pretty impressive day for Blue Origin. I thought for sure this would be posted but I couldn't find it. I searched the title only and not the content. Did not mean to make work for someone else getting the posting in the right thread.

    What I find impressive is the landing of the rocket booster /right on target. Smooth as silk, the capsule landing as well.

    There is processes and systems that afford this precision and accuracy. No chance, and no guesswork.

    Paying Taxes and giving part of that to Billionaires (who do not need that hand-out but gladly say yes) ... becoming fake "hero's" and they themselves pay (almost) no taxes ...

    Google search how much government pays for them to be able what they do in space.

    This may be a bit weird for some...

    I've gradually come to the position that many of the stories we see as 'news' are in fact thinly veiled rituals with an occult objective in addition to, or perhaps sometimes in place of, the stated objectives.

    Chris Knowles 'Secret Sun' site is one of the best windows on the occult symbolism which permeates TPTB. There's two recent blog entries on the Branson and Bezos space tourism stories, which I think are well worth viewing:

    https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2021/...x-rockets.html
    https://secretsun.blogspot.com/2021/...ritualism.html

    Having spent some time learning about the significance of various numbers and symbols I found the cumulative impact of both blog posts was significant but appreciate others experience will vary.

    I'll probably come back to this on another thread rather than derail this one, but perhaps others will find this perspective of interest.
