Travelling into space in the future may become a challenge because of the amount of debris that’s currently orbiting the planet. It’s believed that there are currently around 600,000 pieces of space junk surrounding the Earth.

They measure anywhere between 1cm to 10cm wide and have become an increasing problem. It’s believed that at least one satellite a year is destroyed by coming into contact with space junk.

On Twitter December 28, President Trump wrote: “In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”

Late for a party? Miss a meeting? Forget to pay your rent? Blame climate change; everyone else is doing it. From an increase in severe acne to all societal collapses since the beginning of time, just about everything gone wrong in the world today can be attributed to climate change. Here’s a list of 100 storylines blaming climate change as the problem.

Researchers say freezing moons – dubbed “Winter Wonderlands” – could support life on them due to their vast amounts of water and icy surfaces. This includes Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, that is covered in ice and snow.

But because of its surface, life can be protected from ultraviolet radiation and cosmic rays making it habitable. A spokesperson for Warwick University’s Centre for Exoplanets and Habitability said: “Life could be supported on moons of ice and snow with vast oceans under their frozen surfaces, orbiting Jupiter and Saturn.

It is a stunning, almost ghostly view of Saturn’s moon. NASA has revealed the incredible image, taken by the Cassini probe before it crashed into Saturn’s atmosphere in a ‘death dive’.  Although the probe has now been destroyed, NASA is still regularly releasing images from its mission.

This puts in context any claims that 20th-century warming is somehow unusual and alarming. It is not – it is business as usual for Earth’s climate.

Discoveries in the ice reveal our planet’s fluctuating, never static, climate history

By Ptolemy2

During WW2 a macabre find was made 16,000 feet up in Indian mountains – a lake full of corpses. Later scientific analysis would date them to the 9th century AD – at the start of the Medieval Warm Period about 1000 years ago. They had been killed by large hail-stones.

“It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a UFO, it’s a virus from outer space.”

My previous article detailed: cooking up fake threats of viruses from outer space. This could be the next “UFO disclosure” coming on the heels of recent Pentagon reports of alien craft in the skies.

This time next year, there may be a new world leader in lunar exploration. If all goes according to plan, China will have done something no other space-faring superpower has been able to do: land on the far side of the moon. China is rocketing ahead with its plans for lunar exploration.In 2018, they will launch a pair of missions known collectively as Chang’e 4. It is the fourth mission in a series named after the Chinese moon goddess.

The advances of technology have managed to change the world and the way we live today. Studies and research in the field of medicine and technology with the use of nanobots represents a new field that opens the future to the treatments that can extend life expectancy by far.

When herpetologist Andrew Snyder’s flashlight landed on something bright blue in the rainforests of Guyana, South America, he stopped and took a closer look. It turned out to be a blue tarantula of the Ischnocolinae subfamily, a species most likely unknown to science.

As parts of Canada are today reported to be colder than the North Pole, and as Minnesota and Mount Washington report record lows of minus 36 degrees centigrade, as the UK suffers under ice, snow and freezing rain we are still assailed from all sides by  the cries of  Anthropogenic or Man made Global Warming.

As we now sit in one of the coldest “chill waves” in America’s history, with NYC poised to break the record for the coldest New Year’s Eve ever, it’s noteworthy to recall how all the “climate change” experts used to be global warming alarmists.

In my previous essay, Chance Favors The Prepared Mind, I did not end up with the specific topic I intended when I started.  So, to keep this essay on the straight and narrow I note the destination in the title.  But we begin with the prepared mind referred to by Louis Pasteur.
