Speculation Space Missions

Why do I keep coming back to space? Subterfuge is a very effect tool in persuading incorrect information. It worked admirably for the tobacco industry and the health issues of smoking. It is working well for climate change deniers of a human causation. It has worked well for Republicans in Congress dispelling that the party has a specific class focus of serving the wealthy. But the roll model for this type of communication success might be the whole issue of space.

Suppose the Soviet Union, which was significantly ahead of America in space achievement, got to the moon first. Suppose they found something that caused them to clamp down on that fact. They also would not want to announce success in a moon landing because it might spur America to emulate them and have a moon discovery revelation. Surprise! America went after it anyway as a means to overshadow Soviet space achievements. The Soviet Union’s dilemma was rather to remain silent.

Once the moon discovery was made by America, the Apollo moon missions became a security nightmare. The only solution was to go underground. Officially Apollo 17 was the last moon mission. But there have been persistent rumors of at least one more, called Apollo 18. It was supposedly ultra top secret directly under The Defense Department.

Things stayed pretty much under control with America’s lockdown of space. But in 1981 the Shuttle missions were underway. It was a source of national pride. Too politically important to just shut down. It was an even worst security nightmare because of the large numbers of civilians involved.

The space shuttle missions were a source of abnormalities being noted. The Defense Department needed the program shut down so tightly that no zealous Congress or President would take the risk of keeping it going. They were desperate.  Then there was the fortuitous Challenger disaster, depending on how you look at it. When the space shuttle missions resumed later, they were staffed with people completed encased in the secrecy.

The nineteen sixties were a very scary time in America. We emerged from the social conservative nineteen fifties into an unsettling unorthodox time. Social unraveling was on everyone’s mind. The RAND corporation issued a report that society would completely collapse if the public really believed aliens were among us. The government embarked on a major effort to debunk any mention of aliens.

But aliens are just one manifestation that would contribute to social collapse. Any revelation that significantly upsets our belief system would have the same effect. The question becomes why the revelations about all the planets being discovered had no such effect? The answer is that the discovery method is mathematical in nature. Americans particularly have no affinity for mathematics or its rigor. It is to most merely a mysticism. But turn things around and look at the attack on “extremophiles” or earth biological life not based on the accepted universal model of oxygen and carbon. There is repeated instant denial of extremophiles discoveries.

An example of belief system destabilization would be finding “humroid” [humanlike] evidence on the moon. Then we would be in the intellectual game of the “chicken and the egg”, especially if the evidence was hundreds of thousands of years old. This would bring into question human origins and achievements. It would render most Western religion to the realm of mythology. Another example might be ancient technological prowess discovered on earth far beyond our archaeological view.

One day there might be an anomaly that defies rejection. One that peaked my interest should have been in all the media - IF True. Supposedly the Mayans had calculated the length of a day to a ten thousandth of a decimal point. Their calculation is within 2 ten thousandths of a decimal point of atomic clocks. Scientist admit atomic clocks have a plus or minus error rate of 5 ten thousandths of a decimal point. The only reasonable answer, if this is true, is that the knowledge was given to the Mayans. That means intervention. The question becomes by whom or what? The fact that so many ancient religions reference a specific point of the sky suggests visitors. It should be publicly taken very seriously and rigorous scientific methods applied. But it might already be taken extremely seriously and cloaked in government secrecy. I am certain the Pentagon takes it seriously.

I suspect that humankind is far older than our current dating. I believe Homo sapiens co-existed with prehistoric man and did not naturally evolve from them.  I suspect humans have reached significant achievement in the past, only to be plunged back to a barbarous condition.  Evidence of early human advanced achievement is probably obscured by time and the fact these peoples were relatively few in numbers.
