NASA survival training: When astronauts had to train for survival in deserts and jungles, 1960s
The original âMercury Sevenâ astronauts, L. Gordon Cooper, M. Scott Carpenter, John Glenn, Alan Shepard, Virgil I. Grissom, Walter Schirra and Donald K. Slayton wear clothing fashioned from parachutes during desert survival training at Stead Air Force Base in Nevada. 1960.

Iâve been saying this for yearsâŠ
Yeah the article isnât ground breaking but itâs nice to have a whole lot of sense listed out and voices and opinions we donât often hear on space being aired.
Itâs a good read and well put together.
Oh, no criticism⊠Iâm going through it now and itâs absolutely what people need to hear, since people here seem to be of the mind that we can only explore space via competition or by handing it over to rich assholes.
Thanks for posting it!
Itâs fake ooze, donât fall for fake ooze: Alien fossils found on Mars might just be simple chemistry, uni pair warn
Scientists should remain skeptical if they study rock samples drilled by NASAâs Perseverance rover for evidence of alien life lest they be fooled by fake fossils, academics in the UK have warned.
Itâs difficult to find definitive signs of ancient microbial life in geological materials, Sean McMahon, an astrobiologist at the University of Edinburgh, and Julie Cosmidis, a geobiologist from the University of Oxford, argued. Chemical processes on the Martian surface could produce substances very similar to those created by living organisms.
Interesting patterns in sediments of clay or layers of rock may look as if they were deposited by cellular life, such as stromatolites, for example. Scientists may be excited about finding these structures, but before they jump the gun they should also consider whether those markings may have been carved by geological or chemical processes on Mars.

Mentioned in the article: Lunokhod 2 belongs to Richard Garriott?
Iâm reading this book right now.
It describes the lunar rover development, selection, and usage on the moon. Good read so far.
It is time to put the science aside and call a good priest, of any religion.

So, someone dropped the feckin thing. Great.
