  • Q: Can outer surfaces of the spacecraft do the same job as the tethers?

    Q: Is adding in anything mechanical to service the tether system a mistake as all mechanics will fail over time?

    Q: Don't magnetospheres extend very far beyond bodies and don't some magnetospheres extend to other bodies?

    Q: If Birkeland Currents exist in space, how do you use them for propulsion/transmission?

  • Well UFOs seem to like them.

    Any explanation to STS-75?

    Donna Hare quit her career at Nasa and is now testifying against Nasa in Supreme Court that there editing photos and fabricating "scientific data". Three-hundred other high ranking Government officials are testifying with her and treason in supreme court serves 5 years to the death penalty, she is dead serious. Why hide? Its time we begin comprehending reality entire and stop with biblical and political nonsense.
