Breathtaking 4K video shows Mars in ultra-high definition. Yeah, we know it’s not political or snark, but we thought it was cool so we’re posting it. Well, on second thought there’s a whole lot of Democrats they should send there, one-way.

Asteroid the size of a bus that Nasa only spotted on Christmas Day is set to have a ‘near miss’ with Earth TODAY as it flies between our planet and the moon at 21,000mph
Asteroid the size of a bus that Nasa only spotted on Christmas Day is set to have a ‘near miss’ with Earth TODAY as it flies between our planet and the moon at 21,000mph. While NASA pontificates about global warming they miss this. Perhaps they should change their focus. If we get whacked by an asteroid global warming won’t matter one whit.
Oops, NASA Finds Mantle Plume Melting Antarctica From Below, not ‘global warming’
Oops, NASA Finds Mantle Plume Melting Antarctica From Below, not ‘global warming.’ Another chink in the global warming scam.
A mantle plume producing almost as much heat as Yellowstone supervolcano appears to be melting part of West Antarctica from beneath.
Researchers at NASA have discovered a huge upwelling of hot rock under Marie Byrd Land, which lies between the Ross Ice Shelf and the Ross Sea, is creating vast lakes and rivers under the ice sheet. The presence of a huge mantle plume could explain why the region is so unstable today, and why it collapsed so quickly at the end of the last Ice Age, 11,000 years ago.

NASA-funded group makes up wacky theory to explain why global warming isn’t causing sea levels to rise
Damn it! Damn it to hell! Satellite measurements show that sea levels aren’t rising like the warmers predicted, so a NASA-funded group has come up with its own scientific theory to explain the shortfall.
Damn it! Damn it to hell! Satellite measurements show that sea levels aren’t rising like the warmers predicted, so a NASA-funded group has come up with its own scientific theory to explain the shortfall. And by “scientific” we mean “making crap up as they go along.”
Forbes has the latest global warming “facts”:
Satellite measurements, however, show global sea level rose merely 0.83 inches during the first decade of the 21st century (a pace of just 8 inches for the entire century), and has barely risen at all since 2006. This puts alarmists in the embarrassing position of defending predictions that are not coming true in the real world.
The University of Colorado Sea Level Research Group is coming to their rescue. The NASA-funded group claims glacial melt is removing weight that had been pressing down on land masses, which in turn is causing land mass to rise. This welcome news mitigates sea-level rise from melting glacial ice, meaning sea level will rise less than previously thought. However, it is very inconvenient for alarmist sea level predictions. Therefore, instead of reporting the amount by which sea level is rising in the real world, the Sea Level Research Group has begun adding 0.3 millimeters per year of fictitious sea level rise to “compensate” for rising land mass.
In other words, they’re twisting the facts to make them fit the theory. Kind of like they did with tree ring data and the hockey stick.
Seems to us that those same precise satellite measurement devices that are capable of measuring a miniscule rise in sea levels should also be capable of measuring any corresponding rise in land masses.
We’ll just sit here and wait for the University of Colorado Sea Level Research Group to deliver that data.
Oh, wait. What were we thinking? They’re the Sea Level Research Group. That data will probably have to come from another NASA-funded organization called the Land Mass Level Research Group.

Of course, they did: NASA told al Jazeera about its Muslim outreach before it told Congress
Imagine that you’re a congressman or even an exalted United States senator. In your mind, you’re one of the most important people in the world. Now imagine how you’d feel when you find out that al Jazeera TV was told about NASA’s Muslim outreach before you were.
Imagine that you’re a congressman or even an exalted United States senator. In your mind, you’re one of the most important people in the world. Now imagine how you’d feel when you find out that al Jazeera TV was told about NASA’s Muslim outreach before you were.
Uh-oh. The Washington Examiner has the surprising details of the surprised congressmen:
Rep. Pete Olson, the ranking Republican on the House Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, got a call from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on June 28, the day the White House released its new long-term plan for the space program. “He ran down some of the things from the president’s new space policy, and mentioned outreach to Muslims,” Olson recalls. “That stunned me. I didn’t believe it.”
Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the Democrat who chairs the subcommittee (and is also married to astronaut Mark Kelly), got a briefing from Bolden the same day, according to a spokesman.
As it happens, Bolden’s calls to Giffords and Olson came several days after Bolden discussed the Muslim initiative with Al Jazeera. According to a NASA spokesman, Bolden sat down with Al Jazeera’s Imran Garda on June 17, during a stop in Doha, Qatar. Bolden’s Mideast trip, which was timed to mark the first anniversary of President Obama’s June 2009 Muslim outreach speech, was devoted to pursuing “a new beginning of the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world.”
Make no mistake. Bolden’s interview with Al Jazeera interview aired on June 30, after Bolden briefed members of Congress. But it was recorded on June 17, before they were briefed.
Look for Congress to issue a fatwa on Charles Bolden.

President Obama says NASA’s foremost mission is reaching out to the Muslim world
“When I became the NASA administrator — or before I became the NASA administrator — (President Obama) charged me with three things,” said NASA administrator Charles Bolden. “One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations….”

MSNBC science reporter criticizes Obama, anchor jumps to his defense
Reporter Jay Barbree apparently forgot where he worked for a moment and criticized President Obama for excluding NASA employees from a speech about NASA employees. (Of course, Obama had to exclude them because they would have known he was lying about protecting their jobs).
Half of this equation is surprising, but the other half is to be expected.
Reporter Jay Barbree apparently forgot where he worked for a moment and criticized President Obama for excluding NASA employees from a speech about NASA employees. (Of course, Obama had to exclude them because they would have known he was lying about protecting their jobs).
Not to worry, though, Obama Kool-Aid drinkers. Anchor Alex Witt jumped in quickly to defend Obama and deliver the official MSNBC party line.
Barbree: But I’m a little disturbed right now, Alex. I just found out some very disturbing news. The President came down here in his campaign and told these 15,000 workers here at the Space Center that if they would vote for him, that he would protect their jobs. 9,000 of them are about to lose their job. He is speaking before 200, extra hundred people here today only. It’s invitation only. He has not invited a single space worker from this space port to attend. It’s only academics and other high officials from outside of the country. Not one of them is invited to hear the President of the United States, on their own space port, speak today. Back to you Alex.
Witt: Alright Jay I can understand why that would certainly get you a bit upset. I will say, on behalf of the Obama administration, they contend that 2500 new jobs will be created, even more, they say, than the 2012 Constellation would have created, that program. So I know all this remains to be seen, but understandably we get why you’re upset, right now. Along with many others down there. Let’s see if the President clears that up later today. Jay thanks so much.

Obama wants to visit an asteroid (Jeez, he’s starting to sound more like Joe Biden every day)
“Sure, I’ve pissed off Neil Armstrong and threatened the jobs of thousands of aerospace workers, but let’s put that behind us and concentrate on the important tasks. Like landing on an asteroid.”
Please allow us to translate the comments made by the President’s teleprompter on Thursday:
“Sure, I’ve pissed off Neil Armstrong and threatened the jobs of thousands of aerospace workers, but let’s put that behind us and concentrate on the important tasks. Like landing on an asteroid.”
Asteroid. Which rhymes with hemorrhoid. Which seems more appropriate.
Especially since the President made these comments before a hand-picked group of Democrat supporters and excluded actual NASA employees who are impacted by his policies.
Are NASA astronauts blasting off even before
they blast off?
NASA Spaceport officials found a small bag containing cocaine next to a bathroom in a restricted hanger. The hanger houses the Space Shuttle Discovery which is set to launch in March and deliver “supplies” to the International Space Station.
NASA astronauts are bringing a whole new meaning to the term “space dust.”
Spaceport officials report that they found a small bag containing cocaine next to a bathroom in a restricted hanger. The hanger houses the Space Shuttle Discovery which is set to launch in March and deliver “supplies” to the International Space Station.
The Register UK reported:
Because access to the hanger requires a security badge, officials know about 200 NASA workers and contractors were around the facility at the time the drug was found. NASA said that while there are “no indications” that anyone was high on cocaine while working on Discovery, drug testing of employees in the area have been conducted.
Embarrassingly, the incident came on the same week space shuttle workers took a half day off work to participate in NASA’s employee “Safety Stand Down,” held each year to “reinforce the importance of maintaining a strong and focused commitment to safety.” Evidently, someone wanted a little extra focus for it.
NASA spokesperson Allan Beutel said, “People know how serious this is and how serious people take it. And it’s not acceptable. That’s the bottom line.”
May we suggest, Mr. Beutel, that this is an inappropriate time to be discussing lines?

ClimateGate is yesterday’s news. Now here comes NASAgate.
Damn it. Just as ClimateGate was getting into high gear, along comes a new global warming scandal – NASAgate.
Damn it. Just as ClimateGate was getting into high gear, along comes a new global warming scandal – NASAgate.
Texas Republican Congressman Ted Poe goes off on NASA because they’re following in the footsteps of the CRU and refusing to release their global warming data as requested under a Freedom of Information Act request.
Let’s give Poe credit: This is the first time we’ve heard the term “NASAgate.” But we suspect it won’t be the last.

Warning: Do not call Buzz Aldrin a coward or a liar
79-year old Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin punched out a conspiracy nut who didn’t believe he went to the moon.
Buzz Aldrin was a fighter pilot and Apollo 11 astronaut who walked on the moon. Doesn’t matter that he’s now 79-years old because he’s still a tough sumbitch, as one of those we-never-went-to-the-moon conspiracy wackos discovered when he approached Aldrin and called him a coward and a liar.
Aldrin responded with a quick punch and the wacko started seeing stars that no astronaut has ever seen.
Way to go, Buzz.
