Can balloons take us to the edge of space ?

"Forget rockets. A Spanish company is exploring a gentler ride to the edges of our planet's atmosphere.
Watch the video below of one of their test flights" ...

By David Robson

16 May 2016

"Imagine that you could float into space as effortlessly as a helium balloon floating from a kid’s birthday party. That’s the dream of Jose-Mariano Lopez-Urdiales, whose company zero2infinity is pioneering a new type of space tourism in the form of a vehicle he calls a “bloon”.

If his vision is realised, you would first enter the pod from a giant dome-shaped launching pad. A 96m-tall (315ft) balloon would carry you aloft, taking around an hour reach around 36 kilometres (22 miles) above the Earth’s surface. There, the bloon would drift for a couple of hours, as you take in the view of the Earth below from four huge panoramic windows – perhaps while sipping Martinis or enjoying a talk from a former astronaut.

When it comes to the time to descent, the bloon would vent some gas, before discarding the balloon sack altogether. A parachute would then open above the pod to slow the landing, and as you reach Earth eight airbags would cushion the impact. Using meteorological data and atmospheric simulations to plan their path, the bloon pilots could ensure that always landed in a safe location.

At least, that’s the plan. Admittedly, it won’t be reaching the heights of the flights offered by the likes of Virgin Galactic, which hope to send space tourists to 110 kilometres (68 miles) above the Earth’s surface. But Lopez-Urdiales says it will still be high enough to see the curvature of the blue planet below, framed against the blackness of space. Astronauts say this produces a profound feeling known as the overview effect – and Lopez-Urdiales says the “change of perspective” will encourage passengers to take more care of the Earth after their trip.

Watch the 360-degree video below of an unmanned test flight – at about half the scale of the real thing."

"And the bloon may offer other advantages. It should give you longer to linger over the view, for instance – whereas a rocket-powered flight may only spend a few minutes at the peak of its arc. “It’s like either watching a trailer for a movie – or watching the whole movie,” says Lopez-Urdiales. “That’s a critical difference between spaceplane and balloon.” What’s more, the bloon will save burning so many fossil fuels, making it more environmentally friendly. Since it will not be carrying explosives, it should also be a lot safer.

Monica Grady, a planetary scientist at the Open University, says the general concept “sounds amazing”, although she does question the scheme’s green credentials. “Helium is not called a rare gas for no reason, and it is a non-renewable resource,” she points out.

Ultimately, Lopez-Urdiales does not see the bloon as direct competition for other forms of space tourism, but an alternative experience.

Frederick Jenet at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and a director of SpaceX’s partner Stargate, agrees. “Zero2infinity’s bloon project provides another avenue for people to connect with the dream of space exploration,” he says. It may not appeal for people who have dreams of “Captain Kirk/JJ Abrams style space travel”, he adds. Instead, he thinks the bloon is better suited “for customers that want fewer bumps, shakes, and free-falls, and more of a quiet and meditative environment that would allow careful contemplation of the world we live in”.

Lopez-Urdiales is now seeking approval with the European Aviation Safety Agency and the US Federal Aviation Association, with a plan to launch the first flights in 2018. “I’ve got a spacesuit tailor-made for myself and I hope to use it sooner rather than later,” he says."

Free Energy/ Mind Potential

Host: George Noory
Guests: Joel Garbon, Dr. Norman Rosenthal

"In the first half, consultant Joel Garbon discussed his 25 years of travels through a fascinating international scene some call the free energy underground. He reported on the various stories of energy breakthroughs, as well as attempts to suppress them. While there are a lot of good things going on with wind and solar, the types of technology he focuses on are "new forms of generating energy that go far beyond the conventional renewables. So these may be frontiers in physics, new understandings; it may be learning how to finally measure and deploy forms of energy that always existed" but only now do we have a technology platform to convert them into a usable product, he detailed.

Cold fusion technology is becoming more robust and closer to commercialization, and he believes we'll possibly see the deployment of the first industrial applications of it within the next three years. Using either hydrogen or water, there are many variants to the cold fusion process, but generally they're seeing 3-4 times as much thermal energy coming out as the electrical energy being inputted, he cited. A company out of Seattle called Global Emergent Technologies is developing the work of a German inventor, Marcus Reid, that involves a self-charging crystal power cell and nano-structuring. It results in a continuous output of electrical current that is thought to be operating out of the "quantum fluctuations of the vacuum" or so-called "zero point energy," Garbon enthused."

---------------------------

"In the latter half, psychiatrist Dr. Norman Rosenthal, who first described seasonal affective disorder and pioneered the use of light therapy for its treatment, spoke about maximizing the mind's potential via meditation. The type of meditation he recommends is Transcendental Meditation or TM, a simple technique in which people sit comfortably twice a day for twenty minutes at a time, close their eyes and repeat a specific mantra or sound. "What you find is that the time you spend doing it is actually repaid in terms of being more efficient and also enjoying your life," he remarked.

People from all walks of life can benefit from TM, said Rosenthal, who cited such examples as former SF Giants pitcher Barry Zito being "in the zone" when pitching during the 2012 playoffs, wealth fund managers finding their work in the finance world enhanced, and a ballet dancer whose fainting spells ceased when she became a practitioner. TM, which can be thought of as a body-mind practice, can also do a lot for a person's physical health-- it has been shown to lower blood pressure, and improve heart health and sleep patterns, he added."

Dark Journalist: Joesph Farrell - 911 And The Fascist International Trap

the latest ...

"In this exclusive Part 1 interview with Dr. Joseph Farrell, Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt goes deeply into his brand new book on the role of a Fascist International Syndicate in the tragic events of 9/11 and the implications of the advanced energy weapons that were used to collapse the World Trade Center Towers.

Three Levels
In Farrell’s view, the entire event was the product a three level operation. The first level were the hijackers used as patsies by elements inside the National Security State that form the second level, which is usually the target of alternative 9/11 researchers. The third level, being brought forward here for the first time by Dr. Farrell, is a coalition of forces developed after the defeat of Germany in World War II who still cling to the fascist ideology of the Nazi Party.

This worldwide network became a force after the war in everything from global drug running to development of the The Bilderberg Group and the development of a secret system of finance to deal with the hidden Nazi loot. They eventually infiltrated American intelligence and the NASA Space Program with help from major players the military industrial complex and also played a major role in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Exotic Technology
Over time this network developed exotic technology and directed energy weapons that were first developed in secret tests of torsion physics in projects like The Bell in Nazi Germany and were brought into play during the attacks of 9/11 to bring down the towers. This third level has somehow infiltrated the level 2 Neocon plan of creating this massive deep event as a new Pearl Harbor to develop a new aggressive policy of war in the Middle East. This infiltration of level 2 was accomplished using the PROMIS software that the Reagan Administration had originally used to spy on other countries by developing back door capabilities and selling it to countries around the globe."

In memory of - Ray Manzarek was one of the world’s greatest musicians and innovators;
The most exceptional soul. Ray believed music could change the world. – Pablo Manzarek

Sadly, legendary musician and Doors co-founder Ray Manzarek passed away on May 20, 2013. While an integral part of the groundbreaking LA band, with his sinuous, serpentine, haunting organ setting the musical tone of one of the 1960's iconic bands, Ray was also a director, songwriter, author, and much more. His recent work with Roy Rogers on the CDs Ballads Before the Rain and Translucent Blues was powerful and inventive, and his ongoing tours with Doors bandmate Robbie Krieger were always compelling and more than mere nostalgia.
