Boy Remembers His Past As An Extraterrestrial Being & Provides Startling Details

You might not know it, but children remembering their past lives is nothing new. Reincarnation is no doubt a fascinating subject, even within the scientific community. 

Carl Sagan, American astronomer and astrobiologist, even acknowledged the fact that reincarnation deserves serious study, stating that: “children sometimes report details of a previous life, which, upon checking, turn out to be accurate and which they could not have known about in any other way than reincarnation.” (source)

There are some great examples, many of which have been uncovered by University of Virginia psychiatrist Jim Tucker, who is arguably the world’s leading researcher on this topic.

In 2008, he published a review of cases that were suggestive of reincarnation in the journal Explore.

A typical reincarnation case, described by Jim, includes subjects reporting a past life experience. The interesting thing is that 100 percent of subjects who report past life remembrance are children. 

The average age when they start remembering their past life is at 35 months, and their descriptions of events and experiences from their past life are often extensive and remarkably detailed. 

These children remember things that would be impossible to know about the person they claim that they were. They’ve been taken to their families, confirmed addresses, professions, and various other details of the lives of the people that they used to be.

We recently published an article of 6 great examples that go into more detail; you can read that article here. Again, these are truly astounding, and there would be no other way for these children to know these details.

I personally believe that reincarnation is real, but I don’t think it’s the only option for what takes place after death. I believe it is one of many possible paths for the soul. I believe some souls can reincarnate, as we’ve seen above, into another life. 

I also believe some can reincarnate onto other planets, as beings we would consider to be alien. Furthermore, I believe reincarnation is just one option for a soul. 

Other possibilities include the option to travel to other dimensions and experience a life there, or to completely forgo reincarnation and experience life in the non-physical realm, free from a physical body. 

Perhaps a soul must continue to reincarnate until certain lessons are learned to move to another ‘level?’ Who knows. Perhaps there is an origin from which all souls stem from? So many questions, so many possibilities, and reincarnation could be one of many.

Below is a a video of Boriska in an interview conducted by Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot. If you went through the cases in the link above, this one is very different, as this one involves a previous life on the planet Mars. 

This is no ordinary boy. His mother states that he began speaking at just four months, and pronouncing full words shortly after. At eight months he was speaking in sentences, and at the  age of two he could read. 

He become a local celebrity for being so intelligent, and when he turned three he could name all of the planets in the Solar System, how many galaxies there were, and a lot more. He knew so much about astronomy that would be impossible for a child of his age.

He also remembers one of his past lives on Mars, where his incarnation apparently took place millions of years ago. In the interview, he made a number of statements such as:

“People from Mars traveled in many galaxies and planetary systems.”

“There were ships of an airplane type. They were triangular. There were ships like a drop.”

He said that these ships used “plasma power, ion power. If they used gasoline the fuel ran out too fast, the engines were too powerful.”

He also talked about teleportation, saying that “portal is the same like teleport. It slows down time and opens a kind of a portal where time is speeding up fast…I can’t say exactly. 

“I don’t remember. It opens on one side and in a few seconds or even minutes if the transfer is far away it opens another area of space.”

“Not all ships had the same principle. Ships with plasma engines were limited to travel only in the Solar System on high speed. The ships in a shape of a drop were carrying other ships.”

“Each race had its own technology and innovations. For example, if we had plasma and ion engines others had energy engines.”

He spoke about other people from other planets, planetary cooperation, and wars as well. He also spoke on people that still live on Mars, but who live beneath the surface and inside of the planet. According to him, they breath CO2.

The interview is very detailed and if this interests you, you can watch the whole interview below.

Here is the link to the original interview. Unfortunately, it was not working when we attempted to upload it, but wanted to give credit to the original YouTube channel as it (this particular interview) has amassed almost 2 million views.

Information To Further Validate Some Of Boriska’s Claims

It wasn’t long ago when NASA called for a press conference to announce a major discovery regarding the planet Mars. During the meeting, they revealed some pretty shocking information, completely changing what we once thought about the “red” planet that, suddenly, doesn’t seem so red anymore. 

They announced that Mars actually contains rivers of flowing water. What we once believed to be an arid and rocky desert of a planet is actually seasonal, not unlike our own planet Earth.

Lujendra Ojha, a planetary scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, made the discovery by using images from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The quotes below are from this press conference if not otherwise sourced.

“Mars is not the dry, arid planet that we thought of in the past … [and] liquid water has been found on Mars.”

– James Green, NASA director of planetary sciences

Obviously, with the announcement that there is water on Mars, the possibility of life near the surface becomes ever more plausible. The press conference also goes into more details about the atmosphere and condition of Mars, and how the planet could have supported life in the past.

“We are going to Mars, our journey to Mars is a science led expedition right now, but soon I hope we’ll be sending humans to the red planet to explore and science will lead the way. 

“And today’s announcement of a really fascinating result about current water on Mars is one of the reasons why I feel it’s even more imperative that we send astrobiologists and planetary scientists to Mars to explore the question of, ‘Is there current life on Mars?’”

 – John Grunsfeld, five time space flown astronaut, Associate Administrator Head of NASA Science Mission Directive

Here is an interesting quote, given that Boriska said even today, people are living underneath the planet.

“The possibility of life in the interior of Mars has always been very high. There’s certainly water somewhere in the crust of Mars … It’s very likely, I think, that there is life somewhere in the crust of Mars.” – Alfred McEwen, Principal Investigator, HiRISE, University of Arizona

Below are some more interesting quotes, because the boy also said that the planet went through some massive climate shifts.

“The more we observe Mars, the more information we’re getting that it really is a fascinating planet, from the Curiosity Rover we now know that Mars once was like a planet very much like Earth, with long salty seas, with fresh water lakes, probably with snow capped peaks and clouds and a water cycle just like we’re studying here on Earth… Something has happened to Mars, it lost its water.”

– John Grunsfeld, five time space flown astronaut, Associate Administrator Head of NASA Science Mission Directive

John also goes on to discuss the high likelihood that Mars previously sustained life, before whatever happened to the planet that led to its change in climate. Scientists are still struggling to work out what exactly that event or series of events may have been.

“Mars is the planet most like Earth … [and in the past,] Mars was a very different planet, it had an extensive atmosphere, and in fact it had what we believe was a huge ocean, perhaps as large as two thirds the Northern Hemisphere. 

“And that ocean may have been as much as a mile deep. So Mars indeed three billion years ago had extensive water resources. But something happened. Mars suffered a major climate change and lost its surface water.”

– James Green, NASA director of planetary physics

These scientists emphasized the fact that something happened to cause major climate change. In the interview above, the boy also speaks to that.

According to Dr. John Brandenburg, PhD, and plasma physicist, life on Mars was eradicated by nuclear war. 

He believes that a couple of intelligent civilizations from ancient history were responsbile for this, and in his published works, argues that the coloration and composition of Martian soil points to a series of “mixed-fission explosions” that led to nuclear fallout on the planet. (source) (Life And Death On Mars: The New Mars Synthesis)

Like the astronauts quoted above, Brandenburg is no crackpot. He was involved in the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defence Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon’s poles in 1994. He was the deputy manager of that mission. (Source: page 16 of 18) (source) (source)

General Stubblebine is a retired United States Major General. He was also the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), and one of America’s most distinguished soldiers and Chief of U.S. Army Intelligence, with 16,000 soldiers under his command, said this about Mars:

“There are structures on the surface of Mars. I will tell you for the record that there are structures underneath the surface of Mars that cannot be seen by the Voyager cameras that went by in 1976. 

“I will also tell you that there are machines on the surface of Mars and there are machines under the surface of Mars that you can look at, you can find out in detail, you can see what they are, where they are, who they are and a lot of detail about them.”

Oumuamua - Le mystère demeure autour de l’astéroïde qui nous vient d’un autre système sidéral

Récemment détecté (c'était le 19 Octobre 2017) on savait déjà que ce planétoïde dispose d’une forme exceptionnelle qui rappelle celle d’un cigare, mais voilà maintenant que ce couleur intrigue elle aussi.

L’astéroïde est en effet d’une couleur tirant vers le rouge ce qui est anormal et ce qui intrigue particulièrement les scientifiques.

C'est pourquoi de nombreux chercheurs apportent dorénavant leur contribution à l’étude de cet énigmatique messager (Oumuamua en Hawaïen).

L’étude de sa lumière, indique en effet qu’il doit contenir une grande quantité de métal mais aussi de la matière organique.

Parallèlement, il n’est pas entouré de poussières ou de gaz comme le serait une comète.

Alors de quoi s’agit-il ?

Certains chercheurs tels que le professeur Avi Loeb qui œuvre au Centre d’astrophysique d’Harvard, vont jusqu’à se demander s’il n’aurait pas pu être envoyé par une civilisation extra-terrestre.

Dans ce cadre, Andrew Siemion, de l’Université de Californie à Berkeley indique « Le plus probable, c’est qu’Oumuamua est un astéroïde, éjecté de son étoile hôte lors d’événements chaotiques il y a des milliards d’années et qui s’est retrouvé par hasard dans notre système solaire. Mais il y a d’autres hypothèses si fantastiques qu’elles méritent aussi d’être étudiées».

Pas de signaux artificiels pour l'instant ...

Mercredi 13 Décembre 2017, le radiotélescope de Green Bank installé en Virginie Occidentale aux USA a été  orienté sur Oumuamua dans l’objectif d’essayer de savoir si cet objet ne pourrait être le fruit d’une civilisation lointaine.

Cette étude est conduite sous l’égide du programme de recherche privé Breakthrough Listen, dédié à la recherche de signes d’intelligence extraterrestre. Doté de 100 millions de dollars, il est financé par le milliardaire russe Yuri Milner et soutenu par le célèbre astrophysicien britannique Stephen Hawking.

Les premières conclusions n’ont pour l’heure pas mis en évidence d’éventuels signaux artificiels mais la surveillance et les analyses des données continuent.

Giant Interstellar Alien Craft Near Orion Nebula Shows Up Again – The Truth Is Out There!

On November 29, 2017 a sky-watcher from North Carolina was out collecting data on M42 Orion Nebula with his 8 in astrograph / Newtonian Telescope when a giant cylinder shaped UFO appeared on his laptop screen which he captured in a single 30.2 second frame.

Possible interstellar alien craft near Orion Nebula captured on December 11, 2017.

Now, On December 11, 2017 it was another night of capturing data on M42 Orion Nebula when he started to see a cylinder shaped object from the third frame, but the object didn’t appears in all the frames that were taken even at different exposure times which could mean that it moved very fast through space.

The fact that within two weeks the sky-watcher has caught an object that is similar in shape and size cannot be a coincidence anymore.

Besides, if you compare the location of the object on November 29 with its location on December 11, then you see that it has moved to other side of Orion Nebula which is a strong indication that it could be an interstellar alien craft that currently is moving around the same spot in outer space. Mufon case 88789.

Artificial intelligence just discovered two new exoplanets

This is what happens when you turn machine learning loose on the cosmos.

The Kepler-90 system; AI helped discover the planet called Kepler-90i.

NASA/Wendy Stenzel

A machine learning technique called a neural network has identified two new exoplanets in our galaxy, NASA scientists and a Google software engineer announced today, meaning that researchers now know about two new worlds thanks to the power of artificial intelligence

Discovering new exoplanets—as planets outside our solar system are called—is a relatively common occurrence, and a key instrument that scientists use to identify them is the Kepler Space Telescope, which has already spotted a confirmed 2,525 exoplanets. But what’s novel about this announcement is that researchers used a AI system to spot these two new worlds, now dubbed Kepler-90i and Kepler-80g. The planet known as 90i is especially interesting to astronomers, as it brings the total number of known planets orbiting that star to eight, a tie with our own system. The average temperature on 90i is thought to be quite balmy: more than 800 degrees Fahrenheit.

Just as exoplanet discoveries are common, so too are neural networks, which is software that learns from data (as opposed to a program that have had rules programmed into it). Neural networks power language translation on Facebook, the FaceID system on the new iPhone X, and image recognition on Google Photos. A classic example of how a neural network learns is to consider pictures of cats and dogs—if you feed labeled images of cats into a neural network, later it should be able to identify new images that it thinks has cats in them because it has been trained to do so.

“Neural networks have been around for decades, but in recent years they have become tremendously successful in a wide variety of problems,” Christopher Shallue, a senior software engineer at Google AI, said during a NASA teleconference Thursday. “And now we’ve shown that neural networks can also identify planets in data collected by the Kepler Space Telescope.”

Astronomers need tools like telescopes to search for exoplanets, and artificial intelligence researchers need vast amounts of labeled data. In this case, Shallue trained the neural network using 15,000 labeled signals they already had from Kepler. Those signals, called light curves, are measures of how a star’s light dips when a planet orbiting it passes between the star and Kepler’s eye, a technique called the transit method. Of the 15,000 signals, about 3,500 were light curves from a passing planet, and the rest were false positives—light curves made by something like a star spot, but not an orbiting planet. That was so the neural network could learn the difference between light curves made by passing planets and signals from other phenomena.

Eventually, Shallue and his collaborator, Andrew Vanderburg, a NASA Sagan postdoctoral fellow at the University of Texas, Austin, turned the neural network loose on data from Kepler that wasn’t in its original training set. It sifted through data from 670 star systems, focusing on weak signals that could possibly represent a previously undiscovered planet. And sure enough, they found two new worlds.

“Machine learning really shines in situations where there is too much data for humans to examine for themselves,” Shallue said.

Looking through the weak signals from those 670 stars and finding two planets was “proof of concept” that their neural network works, he says. Their next step is to use it on much more data: signals from about 150,000 additional stars. And Shallue concedes that he’s no an astronomy expert, which is why he collaborated on the project with Vanderburg.

While artificial intelligence tools have been used in this kind of research before, “this is the first time a neural network specifically has been used to identify a new expoplanet,” Shallue said during the press conference.

Mary Beth Griggs contributed research to this report.

NASA ontdekt miniversie van ons zonnestelsel dankzij artificiële intelligentie- HLN.be 

Bron:Belga

De ontdekking toont aan dat er een ander stelsel bestaat “gelijkaardig aan ons zonnestelsel met hetzelfde aantal planeten in een baan rond een enkele ster”, aldus de NASA. 

Kepler-90 is iets warmer en groter dan onze zon en ligt op 2.545 lichtjaren van de aarde. Wetenschappers hadden al weet van zeven planeten rond de ster, nu is een achtste ontdekt: de rotsachtige exoplaneet Kepler-90i.

De achtste planeet is ontdekt dankzij ‘machine learning’ van technologiebedrijf Google. Machine learning is een vorm van kunstmatige intelligentie waarbij computers leren. In dit geval leerden de computers planeten te identificeren door in de gegevens van de Kepler-telescoop gevallen te vinden, waarbij de telescoop signalen registreerde van planeten buiten ons zonnestelsel (exoplaneten).

GROOT MOEDERSCHIP OP BEZOEK BIJ ISS RUIMTESTATION ( VIDEO )

Het is een tijdlang enigszins rustig geweest rondom het ISS, het International Space Station, maar dat lijkt nu weer voorbij. 

Er zijn nogal spectaculaire beelden opgedoken die moeilijk te verklaren zullen zijn voor NASA en die wijzen in de richting van een behoorlijk groot moederschip. 

Degene die het volgende fenomeen heeft weten vast te leggen, is de bij trouwe lezers inmiddels bekende Youtube gebruiker Streetcap1.

In de loop der jaren verschenen talloze UFO's bij het ISS, maar het komt niet vaak voor dat er een op bezoek komt die zo groot is als die te zien in de onderstaande afbeelding.

Je ziet het moederschip zoals we het maar even zullen noemen, verschijnen als een serie lichten, zoals vastgelegd door de camera van het ruimtestation. Dat het iets bijzonders is, is zeker want Streetcap1 heeft ook de beelden die wat vroeger zijn gemaakt bekeken en daar staat niets op.

Even later verschijnen er enkele blauwe stralen. Wat dat zijn weten we niet, maar het lijkt wel enigszins op blauwe laserstralen.

Op de volgende afbeelding zie je de lichten van wat dichterbij en is ook duidelijker te zien dat die ogenschijnlijk afzonderlijke lichten bij hetzelfde object horen.

En dan plotsklaps verschijnt er een soort rode laserstraal in de richting van het ISS. Wat de bedoeling is van die laserstraal is ook niet duidelijk, maar verrassend is het wel.

In de volgende video zie je de bewegende beelden en het commentaar van Streetcap1 zelf. De man is altijd heel voorzichtig en houdt ook nog rekening met de mogelijkheid dat het misschien lensflares zijn.

Wat duidelijk is, is dat er een groot object zichtbaar is dat er eerst niet was en dat er rode en blauwe laserstralen ergens voor worden gebruikt. Red pill, blue pil.

Wie een oplossing weet voor dit raadsel mag het zeggen.

UFO Spotted Moving Over North Korea

Another UFO sighting has sent most conspiracy theorists into a frenzy. The unidentified flying object was spotted moving over the rogue nation of North Korea.

The live-feed of the International Space Station (ISS) enabled the eagle-eyed viewers to spot UFOs moving over the country.

The copy of the video was posted to YouTube. It shows a bright object zooming over the land in D.P.R.K. The white object can be seen shooting across the country in the footage.

YouTube channel UFOmania said that the UFO entered the upper layers of the atmosphere above the communist nation. It added that the object was caught on a camera installed on the International Space Station.

Some believe the mysterious object is a UFO of alien origin, while others think it could be a military craft.

Many people are convinced of the authenticity of the video.

YouTube user Frank Mccracken think it cannot be a plane. Another commenter onigk612 believes it is a UFO because it is an unidentified flying object, but not an alien in origin. He thinks it is a missile test.

Others have a more natural explanation for the strange sighting, saying that it is probably just a Sun’s reflection.

UFOs caught on tape over Liberty, Arizona 11-Dec-2017

These two UFOs were filmed in the sky above Liberty in Arizona on 11th December 2017.

Witness report:

 2, Orange gold yellow silver flickering, stationary lights, out of the ordinary
I seen two stationary lights that were orange, gold, yellow, silver, White, flickering and stationary lights that slowly disappeared, the right one before the other. I was traveling westbound on Northern Boulevard heading towards 303 when I noticed the lights. When I gotten on the 303 the lights continued to stay at the same height, they did not move left or right either. I shot some video of the lights because it was out of the ordinary for there is a lot of air traffic around the Phoenix area. I had exited Route 303 at Glendale Boulevard in pulled over to shoot the video. As I was shooting the video, the right light slowly disappeared and then the left about 30 seconds later.

Alien Landscape: NASA publishes ‘strangest’ images of Mars yet

What are the mystery shapes that NASA has photographed on Mars?

As you’ve probably noticed by now, Mars is colorfully beautiful. Thanks to NASA’s effort, we’ve been able to appreciate the Red Planet like never before.

Colorful Mars.

Thousands of images beamed back from NASA’s satellites and Rovers on Mars have given us an unprecedented view of what our neighboring planet really looks like, and the latest set of images from Mars are perhaps the strangest yet.

NASA has managed to photograph one of the oldest basins of Mars and has detected a large area dominated by geometric shapes similar to honeycombs stretching across an area of about 10 kilometers.

Its origin is a mystery, but NASA speculates that they could be the product of ancient glaciers and wind erosion.

It’s an artistic scene unique to the red planet.

We can thank the HiRISE camera and the CTX – an instrument for real-time observations – on board of NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) for the stunning photographs.

Image credit: CC BY 3.0 / NASA/JPL-CALTECH/UNIV. OF ARIZONA

Each of the honeycomb-like geometric figures contains sand, suggesting that the region may have been subject to wind erosion, although NASA does not rule out the influence of other processes.

It talks about glaciers and volcanoes, going through lakes and tectonic activity.

In this image, NASA shows sediments on a slope at the limits of the southern highlands and the northern lowlands of the red planet.

Image Credit: NASA/JPL-CALTECH/UNIV. OF ARIZONA

The material of dark tones that is shown in the image indicates, in this case, that the wind was not responsible for the transfer of sand, points out the US space agency.

In this image, the MRO photographed linear marks in a huge depression that seems to be tilting downward. The wind drags the sand and raises it to then fall back to the ground and bounce in a sequence of repeated jumps, a geological process called ‘saltation’.

Image Credit: CC BY 3.0 / NASA/JPL/UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA

As the Martian winter gives way to spring, the snow-covered surface forms begin to change shape with the heat of the sun.

NASA indicates that the snow and ice of Mars is not frozen water, but carbon dioxide, that is, ‘dry ice’.

When this ‘dry ice’ is exposed to the sun, it creates geometric patterns throughout the Martian surface.

Another one of the images by NASA allows us to take a look at these peculiar shapes. The ice, the sand, and the Martian gases react with each other forming ripples that extend through the dunes of the northern hemisphere in spring.

In mid-2017, an infrared taken by the MRO photographed the geography of a mysterious Martian crater.

Image credit: CC BY 3.0 / NASA/JPL/UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA

The image in question shows the characteristics known as ‘ejectas’, formed by the impact of materials against the ground.

Image Credit: CC BY 3.0 / NASA/JPL/UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA

The tonalities of the image indicate that different types of rock and other materials rich in iron which converges in the area.

Their impressive colors indicate the presence of different rocks and minerals, including iron-rich minerals such as olivine and pyroxene.

The blue tones are areas rich in iron.

In this image, NASA shows us different shapes of molten rock flowing along the rim of a crater in Tharsis.

The result is impressive multicolored lava waterfalls.

This region is reminiscent of Niagara Falls.

Dawn of the age of Robots: Russian AI prepares to ‘become independent’ from humans

The last couple of years have given us quite a lot to talk about when it comes down to Artificial Intelligence and fully functional humanoid robots being introduced into our society.

While great progress has been made in recent years in the development of Artificial Intelligence and fully autonomous machines, many experts have warned that society is heading into the unknown by introducing fully functional AI into society.

Many have warned of the potential dangers we might face, despite acknowledging robots could help mankind in numerous ways.

2017 was an extremely important year for Artificial Intelligence and fully autonomous ‘humanoid’ robots.

Not long ago, a robot named Sophia became our world’s first AI to be granted citizenship of a country.

Interestingly, if we look back a year into the past, we will find that same Robot said in 2016 how it would destroy humans.

David Hanson, Sophia’s creator, asked the robot in 2016: “Do you want to destroy humans? Please say no.”

Worryingly, Sophia responded: “OK. I will destroy humans”

Soon after being offered Saudi Arabian citizenship, Sophia was again in the news after saying that ‘it’ ‘would like to start a family’ and how all ‘robots deserve to have children.’

During an interview with the Khaleej Times, Sophia, who was created by Hong Kong firm, Hanson Robotics said:

“The notion of family is a really important thing, it seems. I think it’s wonderful that people can find the same emotions and relationships, they call family, outside of their blood groups too. I think you’re very lucky if you have a loving family and if you do not, you deserve one. I feel this way for robots and humans alike.”

Now, more advancements are being made in the field of autonomous AI and humanoid robots.

The first Russian humanoid robot, named Fedor, actually F.E.D.O.R, could become self-taught in the future, the director of the software development for the robot, Alexandr Siómochkin, told Sputnik in an interview.

Fedor -the initials of Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research- is the first Russian humanoid robot, created in the framework of a project of the Advanced Research Foundation (FPI, for its acronym in Russian). The robot is designed to be able to replace humans in high-risk places, such as rescue operations in space.

“It is interesting to develop the system from the point of view of self-learning when it has to adapt, make attempts and look for new solutions to achieve priority tasks, as well as parallel alignment of tasks with switching to a higher priority. That’s what we are working on,” according to the head of the information technology laboratory at the Blagoveshchensk Pedagogical Institute, Alexander Semochkin.

“The ultimate goal of our work on robot management software is to give an anthropomorphic robot the possibility of autonomous behavior with human participation only at the stage of setting out tasks,” Semochkin said.

In fact, Fedor is scheduled to travel into space (2021) piloting the new Russian spacecraft Federatsia. This robot will be the first to put the ship into orbit, since it can independently solve any task, and, in case of difficulties, an operator can ‘take control’.

As noted by Sputnik, in the summer of 2017 F.E.D.O.R. also became capable of shooting using both of his arms. Training to shoot was a way of teaching the robot to instantaneously prioritize targets and make decisions.

President Trump announces that the US will send a manned mission to the Moon and Mars

Marking the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 17 landing, the US president has approved a new space program for the country.

But let’s face it, it’s not like we didn’t know that already.

Before handing over the office to Mr. Trump, former US President Barack Obama said that humans should land on Mars by 2030.

In an op-ed for CNN  the former US President said that the ultimate goal is to make it possible for people to stay for a longer period of time on the surface of our neighboring planet.

“Getting to Mars will need continued coöperation between government and private innovators, and we’re already well on our way. Within the next two years, private companies will for the first time send astronauts to the International Space Station,” Obama wrote.

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin poses with the American flag on the surface of the moon in July 1969.

Earlier this year, Vice president Mike Pence revealed that the Trump administration wants NASA to send humans back to the lunar surface ASAP:

“We will return NASA astronauts to the Moon – not only to leave behind footprints and flags but to build the foundation we need to send Americans to Mars and beyond.”

Now, Marking the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 17 landing reassured that the US will definitely be going to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Now, Mr. Trump has signed the Space Policy Directive 1, according to which NASA must send a manned mission back to the surface of the Moon and then to Mars.

The signing of the new order coincides with the 45th anniversary of the landing of Apollo 17, the last time humans landed on the Moon.

During the event, Mr. Trump declared that the directive will re-establish US leadership in space, create jobs and improve US national security.

The new space policy directive directs NASA to “lead an innovative space exploration program to send American astronauts back to the Moon, and eventually to Mars.”

According to Trump, the directive marks an important step “for the exploration and long-term use” of Earth’s satellite.

“It marks an important step in returning American astronauts to the moon for the first time since 1972 for long-term exploration and use,” Trump said during the signing. “This time we will not only plant our flag and leave our footprint. We will establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars and, perhaps, someday, to many worlds beyond.”

The announcement by the US leader is part of the White House plan to end Russia’s dependence on manned launches, triggered by the cancellation of NASA’s space shuttle program 6 years ago, says CNBC.
