The public should be worried that China has completed hundreds of hypersonic missile tests while the US has done less than 10, says the nation’s second-highest ranking military officer, echoing previous concerns by top military brass.
Speaking at a Defense Writers Group roundtable, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General John Hyten said China’s hypersonic missile advancements is an area of concern.
‘What you need to be worried about is that in the last five years, or maybe longer, the United States has done nine hypersonic missile tests, and in the same time the Chinese have done hundreds,’ Hyten said, according to reports.
‘Single digits versus hundreds is not a good place.’
He did not elaborate on his concerns.

It was revealed last week that a rocket failure caused a delay in the US military’s test of its hypersonic weapons system.
The military scheduled a test of its Army-Navy common hypersonic glide body in Kodiak, Alaska but it failed to launch, ABC News reported.
Meanwhile, China conducted a second test of a suspected hypersonic orbital missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, intelligence sources have claimed.
The new test is believed to have taken place on August 13 and involved a similar ‘hypersonic glide vehicle’ to one launched into space on board a Long March rocket in July, which was first reported earlier this week.
The new technology is reported to have caught US officials off guard, particularly as the system ‘defies the laws of physics’ and appears superior to anything in the American arsenal.
Hyten said the pace in which China is moving was ‘stunning.’
Joint Chiefs of Staff General vice chairman John Hyten said the public should be worried that China has completed hundreds of hypersonic missile tests while the US has done 9
China is thought to have carried out two tests of a hypersonic orbital nuke – the first on July 27 and the second on August 13 this year. Observers believe the ‘weapon’ is an updated version of a Soviet concept called a ‘Fractional Orbital Bombardment System’, or FOBS. It is designed to evade powerful US radar systems and anti-missile defences designed to shoot down traditional ICBMs by flying in low-Earth orbit, making it harder to spot, track and destroy
‘The pace they’re moving and the trajectory they’re on will surpass Russia and the United States if we don’t do something to change it,’ he said. ‘It will happen.
The two types of hypersonic weapons:
Hypersonic glide vehicles
A hypersonic glide vehicle is boosted aloft on a rocket to heights of between 25 miles to 62 miles above the earth before detaching to glide along the upper atmosphere towards its target.
It is released at a height and speed that would allow it to glide unpowered to the target.
Control surfaces on the glide vehicle mean it can steer an unpredictable course and maneuver sharply as it approaches impact.
These glide vehicles follow a much flatter and lower trajectory than the high, arching path of a ballistic missile.
Hypersonic cruise missiles
These missiles are powered by high-speed, air-breathing engines after acquiring their target.
While they have internal engines, unlike regular cruise missiles, they travel far faster and higher.
‘I think we have to do something.’
Hyten’s concerns echoed those expressed earlier this week by Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joints Chief of Staff.
Milley called China’s suspected testing of hypersonic weapons ‘very concerning’ during an interview with The David Rubenstein Show on Bloomberg Television.
‘I don’t know if it’s quite a Sputnik moment, but I think it’s very close to that,’ he added, referencing when the Soviet Union beat America to space in 1957 with its Sputnik satellite. ‘It has all of our attention.’
Milley also warned that the new missile systems are just one of many things the U.S. should be concerned about as the Chinese military expands.
‘The Chinese military capabilities are much greater than that. They’re expanding rapidly in space, in cyber, and in the traditional domains of land, sea and air,’ he told Bloomberg. ‘We’re in one of the most significant changes in what I call the “character of war.“’
The technology is designed to cut off enemy supply lines in the event of a conflict, the state-owned Global Times newspaper reported, adding that sneak attacks using underwater charges will make large vessels like American aircraft carriers vulnerable.
Underwater demolitions are a response to changing U.S. tactics in the Pacific, it added, claiming that Washington is dividing its forces between smaller locations instead of concentrating them in one place to mitigate the damage from attacks.
This tactic increases the strain on logistics operations required to keep large vessels such as aircraft carriers afloat, the Times said, making attacks on infrastructure such as ports and wharfs more important.
‘With ports destroyed, enemy logistics support will fail and a dispersed fighting force… will also fail,’ an unnamed military expert told the paper.
ABC News cited a US official who said that a booster rocket with a hypersonic glide body attached failed to launch during a launch test at Kodiak, Alaska. The image above shows a March 19, 2020 test of the joint Army-Navy common hypersonic glide body that is being developed for launch from both land and submarine
It is just the latest move in a global arms race between Russia, China and the US which is taking place against the backdrop of mounting tensions between the superpowers in the eastern Pacific.
All three countries are engaged in wholesale updates of their militaries including the development of new nuclear technology with which they can strike each-other at range.
Russia and China have, in recent years, unveiled new and more-powerful ICBMs which are capable of launching multiple nuclear warheads at targets many thousands of miles away.
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff described China’s alleged testing of hypersonic weapons as ‘very concerning’
China, the US and Russia are engaged in a global arms race that now includes the development of hypersonic missile technology. Here, the MailOnline has compared (from left) each country’s main nuclear weapon, the latest hypersonic technology they have tested, their most up-to-date aircraft carriers, main battle tanks, and cutting-edge jets
The United States, Russia and at least five other countries are also working on hypersonic technology, and last month North Korea said it had test-fired a newly-developed hypersonic missile.
Russia has previously tested a hypersonic cruise missile known as Zircon, but it flies below the atmosphere and uses fuel to power itself to hypersonic speeds rather than the Earth’s orbit.
The Pentagon did not comment on China’s testing of the hypersonic missile, but did acknowledge China as their ‘number one pacing challenge’.
‘We have made clear our concerns about the military capabilities China continues to pursue, capabilities that only increase tensions in the region and beyond,’ John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesperson, told Fox News. ‘That is one reason why we hold China as our number one pacing challenge.’


According to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), over 4,000 operational satellites are currently in orbit around Earth. According to some estimates, this number is expected to reach as high as 100,000 by the end of this decade, including telecommunication, internet, research, navigation, and Earth Observation satellites. As part of the “commercialization” of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) anticipated in this century, the presence of so many satellites will create new opportunities (as well as hazards).
The presence of these satellites will require a great deal of mitigation (to prevent collisions), servicing, and maintenance. For example, the San Francisco-based startup Orbit Fab is working to create all the necessary technology for orbital refueling services for satellites. To help realize this goal, industry giant Lockheed Martin recently announced that they are investing in Orbit Fab’s “Gas Stations in Space™” refueling technology.
A team at Purdue University developed a drag sail to attach to satellites to help them de-orbit to combat space debris. Unfortunately, the rocket carrying the test device, launched by Firefly Aerospace, exploded shortly after launch.
Sometimes simple and elegant solutions are all that is needed to solve a problem. One problem that was searching for a solution was how to track microplastics. These small particles of plastics are what results after the sun and friction (such as ocean waves) break down larger plastic objects. They have become a huge problem in the ocean, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and their constituent organisms. Now, a team from the University of Michigan have used data originally collected to monitor hurricanes to try to track microplastics, potentially helping to reign in a problem that threatens to engulf the world’s oceans.
According to the latest numbers from the ESA’s Space Debris Office (SDO), there are roughly 6,900 artificial satellites in orbit. The situation is going to become exponentially crowded in the coming years, thanks to the many telecommunications, internet, and small satellites that are expected to be launched. This creates all kinds of worries for collision risks and space debris, not to mention environmental concerns.
For this reason, engineers, designers, and satellite manufacturers are looking for ways to redesign their satellites. Enter Max Justice, a cybersecurity expert, former Marine, and “Cyber Farmer” who spent many years working in the space industry. Currently, he is working towards a new type of satellite that is made out of mycelium fibers. This tough, heat-resistant, and environmentally friendly material could trigger a revolution in the booming satellite industry.
Two companies, OneWeb and SpaceX, are racing to put fleets of thousands of communication satellites into orbit. In March they had their first near-miss. Avoidance maneuvers were successful, but how many more close calls will they face in the future?
New research has found that as the number of satellites in Earth orbit continues to increase, their accumulated light pollution will brighten the night sky – making it much harder to do fundamental astronomy.
You can spot ‘GEOSat’ satellites in far-flung orbits… if you know exactly where and when to look.
Watch the sky long enough, and you’re bound to see one.
Seasoned observers are very familiar with seeing satellites in low Earth orbit, as these modern artificial sky apparitions lit by sunlight grace the dawn or dusk sky. Occasionally, you might even see a flare from a passing satellite, as a reflective solar panel catches the last rays of sunlight passing overhead just right…
Researchers looking through archival data found evidence of a previously unobserved phenomenon — a giant swirling mass of plasma above Earth’s northern polar region. The “space hurricane,” as the science team calls it, churned for hours, raining down electrons instead of water.
“You can’t hit what you can’t see” is a common phrase in sports and was originally derived to describe baseball pitcher Walter Johnson’s fastball. But the same goes for things with a more serious spin, such as some of the millions of pieces of debris floating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Now, a team of researchers have come up with a new imaging system that will allow agencies and governments to closely track some of the debris that is cluttering LEO and potentially endangering humanity’s future expansion to the stars.
If the Roman Empire had been able to launch a satellite in a relatively high Low Earth Orbit – say about 1,200 km (750 miles) in altitude – only now would that satellite be close to falling back to Earth. And if the dinosaurs had launched a satellite into the furthest geostationary orbit – 36,000 km (23,000 miles) or higher — it might still be up there today.

The rigors of holiday travel affected passengers at Gainesville Regional Airport. According to the Gainesville Sun, passengers on Delta flight 5059 were bumped in favor of the Florida Gators basketball team.
After the team’s charter flight was grounded due to mechanical issues, Delta made a judgement call to turn over a commercial flight to the Gators. Delta has since apologized for the inconvenience.
“Delta apologizes to those customers on Delta Connection flight 5059, operated by ExpressJet, who were impacted by the resulting cancellation of their flight,” (Delta spokesman Michael Thomas) stated.
The Gators made their tipoff against UConn in Storrs, Connecticut, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion on a buzzer beater from Shabazz Napier.


We all know that computers are crucial to space exploration. How can you fly anywhere without it? Even planes use sophisticated aviation technology to take us from one destination to another, what more to take people to space. Ever since man landed on the moon, we haven’t really achieved much when it comes to space exploration. Things have pretty much stagnated, to say the least. It’s probably why news about sending supercomputers to Mars is exciting everyone right now because it may be the breakthrough we have all been waiting for over the years.
It is not at all impossible for us to develop computers just for this purpose when consumer tech goods are actually pretty advanced these days. Many experts are hard at work in developing this supercomputer that will soon set foot in Mars to ensure the comfort and safety of astronauts sent to explore the red planet. Supercomputers are needed in space to speed up research that is slowly inching its way at a snail’s pace. Although we are not new to Mars, it is undeniably farther than the moon and the environment may be a bit more hostile too. Hence, distance has a lot to do with how well gadgets work out there.
A mission to Mars requires sophisticated computing capabilities to cut down on communication latencies and ensure astronauts’ survival. To advance this mission, HPE and NASA launched a supercomputer into space on the SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft.
This supercomputer, called the Spaceborne Computer, is part of a year-long experiment conducted by HPE and NASA to run a high performance commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computer system in space, which has never been done before. The goal is for the system to operate seamlessly in the harsh conditions of space for one year – roughly the amount of time it will take to travel to Mars.
Many things have changed and improved ever since man first went out to space. These achievements encouraged scientists to push the technology even further and the very same thing may also happen if this mission to Mars proves to be successful. It can propel space exploration even further and be instrumental for us to achieve even more in the future.
NASA and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) are sending a supercomputer into space.
The not-so-shrewdly named Spaceborne Computer, scheduled for launch today from Kennedy Space Center, is part of a year-long experiment.
The high-performance commercial machine will, fingers crossed, operate seamlessly in the “harsh conditions” of the cosmos.
In space, where no one can hear you scream, limited computing capabilities are sufficient for a visit to the moon or hanging out in low Earth orbit. But travel a bit further into the ether—to Mars, for instance—and it becomes much more difficult to keep in touch: It could take up to 20 minutes for someone on the Red Planet to contact Earth, and another 20 minutes to receive a response.
“Such a long communication lag would make any on-the-ground exploration challenging and potentially dangerous if astronauts are met with any mission critical scenarios that they’re not able to solve themselves,” Alain Andreoli, senior vice president and general manager of HPE’s Data Center Infrastructure Group, wrote in a blog post.
Upgrading the computers used in space is the only way to further the exploration of space especially that conditions aren’t always great. This partnership between Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and NASA promises better computing performance that will not only help astronauts work more efficiently in the vast realms of outer space but allow experts on the ground to monitor their work and maintain regular communication with the team. Space experts and both those from HPE are hopeful that through this, advance computing will be made possible in space and pave the way for other discoveries and advancements to be made sooner rather than later.


No rocket science: Space and satellite business in Thailand
How to win one of four satellite network packages in Thailand
Space industry covers business activities related to the manufacturing of components that go into Earth’s orbit or beyond. It covers the full range of activities and resources that create and provide value and benefits in the course of exploring, understanding, managing, and utilizing space. The main sectors are satellite and their subsystems manufacture, including satellite environment testing, ground equipment manufacturing, and service sector, as well as rocket-launch services, vehicle manufacturing, and subsystem manufacturing.
New Thai legislation: The NBTC Act has been enforced at the end of 2019 and provides a more solid basis for satellite businesses in Thailand. The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission acts as the sole agency governing all related satellite businesses. It took this over from the Digital Economy and Society Ministry, which managed a cumbersome concession regime for more than three decades. The new liberalized system promises attractive business opportunities even for foreign investors.
Licenses instead of concessions: Under the new NBTC framework, private satellite investments need a licensing for (i) the sky operation, (ii) landing rights, (iii) the orbital slot space and (iv) the ground segment business. as transmission antennas and equipment for converting signals to an internet protocol signal for terrestrial connectivity. The provided orbital slot space is reserved by the NBTC from the International Telecommunication Union. The ITU, formerly International Telegraph Union is the oldest global international organization and a specialized agency of the United Nations that is responsible for issues that concern information and communication technologies.
Four packages in 2021: In June 2020, the NBTC has allotted four packages of satellite network filings subject to allocation for interested bidders early next year. The bidder will be selected either by a so-called beauty contest or by holding an auction. The procedure will be decided by NBTC in 2020, based on a public hearing to be scheduled for July 2020. The first package consists of 50.5 E and 51 E and the second concerns 78.5 E. The third involves 119.5 E and 120 E and the fourth is for 126 E and 142 E. The orbital slots in first and fourth packages are currently unoccupied.
Low Earth Orbit satellite business: LEO satellites operate between 500- 2,000 km above the Earth’s surface compared to the 36,000 km height of geostationary satellites. LEO business is opened up by an amendment to the Space Affairs Act. The advantage of the lower orbit is lower latency. Areas of application are drone technology and areas that require high levels of accuracy, such as remote surgery,
Thailand’s NASA: Thailand’s Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency, is a Thai space agency and space research organization. It is responsible for remote sensing and technology development satellites. GISTDA operates the satellites Cosmo-SkyMed, KOMPSAT, LANDSAT-5, RADARSAT-2, and Thaichote. Another stakeholder in Thailand’s satellite business is the National Science and Technology Development Agency. NSTDA is a government agency established to promote the development of science and technology for Thailand. It operates autonomously with guidance and support of policies set by the National Science and Technology Development Board.
“Orbital slots will be rented out on a first-come, first-served basis”

No sooner did humanity invent the satellite dish, but it became something that captured our imagination. The idea of waves traveling from space to a receiver on the ground has provided us with cheesy horror movies, conspiracy theories, and a lot of great television programming. Luckily, innovations accompanied our flights of fancy. Today, both the satellite and the dish or receiver that communicates with it are major drivers of communication and commerce around the world.
Satellites first became relevant in the popular culture as a way of broadcasting television. The process of actually installing the dish hasn’t changed much in twenty years, but the receivers certainly have. From HD television to TiVo to On Demand, people expect a lot more from their satellite cable provider today than they used to.
For a technician that means understanding more than just how to reset the receiver. There are thousands of satellites in orbit, but only three or four for each television provider. Technicians need to know where to point the dish, how to angle it, and use specialized equipment to measure the strength of the signal and ensure maximum service.
While satellite television maintenance can be taught with relative ease, satellite internet is a completely different animal. Installing those dishes is a delicate process, and the slightest misstep can cause you to have to start over completely. The dish picks up signal using two tubes inside its shell, and if those tubes come into contact, it causes serious problems.
Internet providers like HughesNet and Wild Blue offer certifications in satellite internet installation which bring any tech up to speed, though it’s not a quick learning curve. When Diverse Net looks for satellite technicians, those certifications let us know a tech is qualified to handle satellite internet deployments and troubleshooting that might be too challenging for others.

Research and Electricity
Today’s students and hobbyists are able to design and launch their own small satellites into the lower atmosphere for a surprisingly low cost, as little as $3000. As satellites become something everyone can use for their own personal study of Earth, the technicians to keep them working (or shut them down) will be critical. Other conversations about the future of satellites have included installing solar panels on them to generate energy, which would be beamed down to Earth by microwaves or lasers.
Clearly, satellites will be important to the future of humanity—for entertainment, for communication, for defense, and even perhaps for generating electricity. Companies who deal in the engineering, manufacture, and deployment of these technologies need expert they can rely on. DiverseNet exists to find those excellent technicians and bring them to the companies which need them. If you’re a satellite retailer or provider in need of deployment staff, contact us today.


From Austin-Bergstrom International Airport:
The FAA reports it has returned to its tower cab at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. This is the top level of the tower and allowed the opening of the airport’s second runway. The move is part of continuing recovery from historic rainfall and flooding on October 30, 2015 which damaged FAA facilities in Austin, causing flight delays and cancellations. Travelers are advised to check their flight status with their airline.
For more information on FAA operational status see FAA statement below.
The below has been issued by FAA on November 4, 2015 at 6:42 a.m.
The Federal Aviation Administration reopened the Austin air traffic control tower Tuesday night after making initial repairs to damage from last week’s flood. The move to the permanent tower cleared the way for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to reopen its remaining runway.
While this move should greatly increase the airport’s capacity, the radar room in the tower’s base building will remain out of service for several weeks while crews repair extensive damage caused by more than a foot of water that invaded the facility.
The FAA is completing tests of temporary equipment that should allow us to transfer radar services to the San Antonio radar approach control. In the interim, controllers in our Houston Air Route Traffic Control Center continue to provide flight separation services.
Due to limitations in the Houston Center’s radar coverage of the Austin metro area, the agency must meter the volume of flights for safety reasons.
Travelers should continue to check with their airlines for specific flight information.

The moon is considered more practicable in terms of economically feasible locality for colonization whereas mars colonization might continue to happen far off in the future when the political and funding winds might shift. Elon Musk is calling for drastic action. And, it is on Mars that they wish to proliferate their war machine and to take hold of Mars and to do to Mars what they have done to this planet.

(You could stuff in one more episode of House of Cards during the day!) He wants humans to colonize Mars—stat. On the other hand, the moon has nearly no atmosphere, therefore, there is not wind to case heat movement from day to night. “I hope to see this [kind of mission] happen in my lifetime,” she said. But the time delay is about 4 to 34 minutes when communicating with someone on Mars, provided the mars position according to the earth. On screen: a depiction of a human colony on the planet Mars. MIT postdoctoral student Valentina Sumini, who has led the interdisciplinary team effort, says they’re now working on a scale prototype of the dome structure. The Frontier program was conceived in the private sector, largely through Elon Musk and SpaceX, with the goal of human colonization of Mars. While we could explore ways to use crevasses and other features of Mars’s topography to our advantage, too, the linchpin of life on the Red Planet will always be technology.

While the Dragon capsule could only support seven astronauts on a limited Earth orbital mission, what would become Ares Lander would carry up to 100 astronauts. In order to answer the question, certain significant scientific, economic, and political benefits need to be considered for initializing colonization on either of the body. The company operates commonly in European and Asian countries. Its location, temperature and availability of water makes this … If it wasn’t innate, we wouldn’t have spread across the world.”. Though Jamestown was a messy failure, it was still founded in Virginia, a relatively benign environment compared to Mars. However, with the discovery of Venus's extremely hostile surface environment, attention has largely shifted towards the colonization of the Moon and Mars instead, with proposals for Venus focused on colonies floating in the upper-middle atmosphere and on terraforming. In spite of lofty dreams, settling Mars will likely take thousands of years. “The sense of exploration is innate. A common argument in favor of colonizing Mars is that it’ll allow us to begin the process of transforming the planet to a habitable state. It could also help turbo-charge a mission to Mars. ,” he said. “It will be just like when the railroads opened up the West in the United States, or the Tall Ships opened up the New World for the Europeans.”. “It’s important to get a self-sustaining base on Mars because it’s far enough away from Earth that [in the event of a war] it’s more likely to survive than a moon base,” Such high-velocity particles It’s basically a space station on steroids—a commercial entity (replete with luxury hotel rooms) that would allow different space-based companies to exchange products and services.

In this interview, we talk with author, Purdue alumnus, and astronaut Colonel John H. Casper, (USAF, Ret.) about his forthcoming autobiography, The Sky Above: An Astronaut’s Memoir of Adventure, Persistence, and Faith.
Q: Could you give a brief description of your book?
The Sky Above tells how persistence and determination led me to fly in space, after serving the nation as a combat fighter pilot and test pilot. Despite life-threatening experiences and failures, my spiritual faith was pivotal in overcoming life’s challenges.
Throughout flying stories told in “pilot lingo,” I invite the reader to ride alongside me in the cockpit, feeling the fear of enemy antiaircraft fire and the squeeze of high g-forces during combat maneuvering in jet fighters. I describe exhilarating Space Shuttle launches, the magical experience of weightlessness, and the magnificent beauty of Earth from hundreds of miles above.
Q: What is the goal of your book? What motivated you to write it?
The goal of my book is to tell readers my life story, which is a true adventure of overcoming adversity through dedication, perseverance, passion, and enduring faith to make a lifelong dream and vision a reality. I hope those trying to reach their dreams, whatever they are, will find inspiration; those unsure or challenged in their faith, encouragement.
Q: Military Service is a tradition in your family. You describe a “service before self” family mentality toward your dad’s service as a pilot. Was this mentality impacted by your family’s faith? Conversely, do you think this mentality affected the way you view(ed) and practice(ed) your faith?
Yes, I believe there is a link between my faith and military service, because both ask a person to “serve” something greater than oneself. Christian faith asks you to love God with all your mind, body, and spirit, and to love your neighbor—those around you—as you love yourself. Those in military or government service are serving our country by defending and upholding our foundational values and traditions. Both faith and the military emphasize the idea of serving others, rather than self-centeredness.
While growing up, I watched my grandparents and parents help others as an extension of their faith, and I witnessed their service to our country in both peace and wartime. They didn’t brag about it; they were merely helping those in need or helping our country defeat those who would destroy our way of life. I’m grateful for the strong example they set for me.
Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring astronauts?
My advice to anyone with a dream or vision is to work hard and not be discouraged if you don’t succeed the first time. For most of us, following our passion or dream takes determined, persistent effort over a period of time to reach the goal.
Those who want to be astronauts will need to study hard and perform well in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. NASA also selects a small number of medical doctors in each incoming group. It’s best that you study subjects and work in career areas that interest you or that you have a passion for. Then, if you don’t become an astronaut, you’ll be working in a career field you enjoy.
Q: Do you have any thoughts on what the future of NASA and American space missions might look like? What would you most like to see explored? What challenges do you think NASA and aspiring astronauts will face along the way?
Future missions to the International Space Station, or ISS, will continue as humankind learns how to live and work in space. ISS is a microgravity laboratory with a multi-nation crew (15 nations cooperate) orbiting Earth at 250 miles altitude. The space vehicle weighs nearly one million pounds, has been continuously crewed since 2000, and has conducted over 3000 experiments and technology demonstrations. Because ISS is also valuable as a primary testbed for future deep-space exploration to the Moon and Mars, NASA plans to operate it at least until 2031.
Artemis is NASA’s Moon landing program to learn how to live on other worlds. This time, the goal is to stay by establishing a true outpost on the lunar surface. The first Artemis mission will fly no earlier than June 2022, using the new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft. The mission will be un-crewed to test the rocket and crew vehicle on a 3-week voyage beyond the Moon and back to Earth. Artemis 2 is planned about a year later with a crew of four NASA astronauts on a similar 21-day mission to check out the human support systems in deep space. A lunar-orbiting habitat called Gateway is being built to sustain our ability to explore the lunar surface.
The next step is Mars: NASA’s goal is to land humans on Mars before the end of this century. The commercial company SpaceX also plans to fly humans to Mars. A human mission to Mars is hard because Mars is much, much farther away than the Moon—Mars is 35 to 250 million miles distant from Earth, depending on the two planets’ orbital positions. At their closest point, a trip to Mars takes about nine months with current rocket technology. A round trip could theoretically be completed in 21 months, with three months on the surface to wait for favorable alignment of Earth and Mars orbits before returning.
Future astronauts will face challenges similar to the ones they face today on the International Space Station—reduced or zero gravity, confinement in a relatively small space, isolation and separation from family and friends on Earth, and risk of damage to their spacecraft from micrometeorites. Radiation is the number one threat for deep space missions: ISS is in a low Earth orbit and shielded from most solar radiation by the higher Van Allen belts. However, crews on Moon or Mars missions will be outside that protection and exposed to greater solar radiation and occasional solar flares. Deep space crewed vehicles will require additional radiation shielding to keep the crew healthy.
Q: Is there anything that shocked or surprised you while working on this project?
I was surprised by the amount of time and effort it took me to research, write, and edit even my own memoir, where I knew the storyline! I had written many technical papers before, but crafting a story that interests and inspires readers is another level of creativity and complexity. Someone advised me that producing the first draft was about 50% of the writing process and I found that to be true—editing, condensing, choosing which stories to tell and which to delete, all took enormous amounts of additional time. Choosing a publisher and negotiating a contract required a completely different expertise and I had to learn that skill.
Q: Any comments for the future readers of your book?
If you like to read adventure stories, especially true ones, where the character overcomes odds to reach a goal, you will enjoy this book. If you would like to know more about flying airplanes and flying in space, this book is for you. If you’re looking for a story about spiritual faith helping someone overcome obstacles in life, my story might interest and inspire you.

One suspect is in custody after causing a "security concern" on board a Denver-bound flight coming from Alaska early Saturday morning, according to an official with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
We have a suspect in custody. @YVRairport operations unaffected at this time. More information when available.
— Richmond RCMP (@RichmondRCMP) January 9, 2016
United Airlines flight 1104 took off from Anchorage, Alaska at 11:55 p.m. local time, and was en route to Denver when "the crew elected to divert the flight to Vancouver due to a security concern," according to United Airlines spokesman Charles Hobart.
The suspect, described as a Caucasian male around 70 years old, appeared to be acting erratically during the flight, according to a witness Denver7 spoke with.
The witness said the suspect was laughing a lot over nothing, and tried several times to pull out the monitor in front of him.
After the planed made a safe landing, Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers went inside the plane and peacefully escorted the suspect out, the witness said.
"We can confirm this appears to be an isolated incident in which security protocols were enacted and the criminal code investigations remains active and ongoing", says Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Dennis Hwang.
The Boeing 737 had 131 passengers and six crews on board. Hobart said they are cooperating with authorities and "will work to rebook our customers on alternate flights."
The flight was scheduled to arrive to Denver International Airport at 5:37 p.m., according to FlightAware.com, but the witness said flight officials didn't know for sure when the next plane would take off.


An unmanned aircraft that approached the Israeli airspace near the Syrian frontier in the Golan Heights, the military says it fired a Patriot missile at.
Although the missile did not hit the drone, and the aircraft “retreated from the border.” the army said on Sunday.
While it was not immediately clear who launched the drone, in February Israel shot down what it said was an Iranian drone that entered its airspace. It bombed Iranian targets in Syria in response.
Syrian troops have launched an offensive against rebel forces in southwestern Syria, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Israel has expressed concerns about Iranian troops supporting Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces, and says it will not allow a permanent Iranian military presence in Syria.

Capt. Michael Opresko, 29, knows first-hand how challenging it is to fly and land the U-2 Dragon Lady
SAN AIR BASE, South Korea
The following article was taken from starsandstipes.com and is about JKB alum and Airforce Captain Michael Opresko.
— The once-secret U-2 reconnaissance plane is known for its high-value role in some of the Cold War’s most critical events. It’s also known as the world’s toughest plane to pilot.
Capt. Michael Opresko, 29, knows first-hand how challenging it is to fly and land the U-2 Dragon Lady, and how punishing it can be on the body. U-2 pilots fly alone for eight to 12 hours, and so high they have to wear a space suit.
“Going up to 30,000 feet cabin pressure is like going from sea level to Everest each day,” said Opresko.
And if above a certain altitude they were to lose cabin pressure or eject, without the suit their blood, saliva and other body fluids would instantly boil. Literally. “Not a good thing,” Opresko said.
A typical U-2 flight leaves the pilot drained, stiff, and because they breathe 100 percent oxygen during the flight, dehydrated.
“You’re completely wiped, you’re ready to go to bed, you’re hungry, you know, you feel like you’ve just worked out like none other,” Opresko said. “You don’t have the body aches and pains, but you just feel wiped. You’re done.”
The U-2’s flight controls have no hydraulics, so unless they’re flying on automatic pilot, working the aircraft takes lots of arm strength. Especially at lower altitudes.
“It’s all cables and pulleys with not too much mechanical advantage, so it does require a lot of arm strength, especially down low when you’re flying in the thicker atmosphere where the aircraft doesn’t respond as well,” Opresko said. “Occasionally we have had emergencies where some of those systems fail, and it does take all the strength that a person has to fly it properly.
“And in those situations, the medical responders are pulling them out of the aircraft. They find the pilot hunched over — can’t even unwrap their arms ‘cause the muscles are completely fatigued and now just stuck in this position.”
The Dragon Lady is also notoriously tricky to land. It’s like an oversized glider with a 150-foot wingspan and bicycle-style landing gear, and it takes great skill to keep the plane balanced on landing and get it to a safe stop, Opresko said.
The plane’s very long nose limits what the pilot can see out ahead, and the space helmet limits what can be seen at the sides.
So, normally, a qualified U-2 pilot in a high-speed car — at Osan it’s a Camaro — has to follow the plane and radio guidance to the pilot to help him set it down safely.
And there’s the matter of in-flight bathroom breaks — or not. The pilots have a device to wear for urinating, but defecating is “absolutely” out.
“We’d ruin the suit,” Opresko said. “So for that reason, we eat a high-protein, low-residue diet.”
As for the device, Opresko said it works well, usually. “We look cool and all that, but just know that we come out covered in our own sweat and urine quite often,” he said, laughing. “It’s still worth it though.”
