Footage is from STS-117 and 127. Thanks to fellow writer, Matt Bille for posting this to his blog, and thanks to the incomparable Steve Saffel for posting it to Facebook for Matt to discover!
All sounds are real.
Check out the launch and SRB contrails in the background.
The other booster in the background.
“The graceful tumble.”
Reentry!
Mesmerizing!

ERO—or Exoatmospheric Reconn-aissance Organization—will be released next week, July 20th, to coincide with the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing (or hoax, if you’re into that). Lon did an incredible job…and he did it after having read the entire manuscript…from all I’ve been told, not the norm in the industry. When I saw this, I saw the “heart and soul” of ERO. Lon…fricking nailed it.
So, please join me next week for the first-ever release of ERO. And hope you enjoy the cover as much as I do!
This article claims a new Martian discovery will soon be revealed by NASA.
“It could be all kinds of things,” said Peter H. Smith, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona who was the principal investigator for NASA’s earlier Phoenix Mars mission but is not involved with Curiosity. “If it’s historic, I think it’s organics. That would be historic in my book.”
That NASA is being tight-lipped about it is not all that “exciting” to me. What’s exciting to NASA isn’t exactly big shakes to the rest of the population, IMHO (and I could very well be wrong…).
Why?
Cause we’re all looking for the discovery of alien ruins, fragments of C3PO, or a used Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator…not some perchlorate, or a whole, entire molecule of some “…carbon-based molecules known as organics…” in Martial soil.
We already know about the robot face (hmmm, images of which have curiously disappeared from the search engines…), Cydonia, and other conspiracies.
But then, a day later…NASA is already backpedaling. Okay, maybe not “historic”…just “interesting.”
Really? Over UFOs, ruins, and an Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator?
C’mon, top those, NASA.
Read this interesting article and this one about how the Earth makes this little “dawn chorus” music, which was recorded Sept. 5, 2012, using satellite radio receivers. There are numerous five-second bursts strung together to make one smooth, continuous video.
What beautiful music!
