What Is A Starseed? Could You Be From The Stars?

What is a Starseed? Starseeds are beings who have come from a far distant star system and galaxies. They are highly evolved souls who have incarnated into a human body, carrying a whole variety of knowledge and they have specialized abilities.

Every starseed is encoded with a dna activation or wakeup call which unlocks at a predetermined time. The activation unlocks the potential of these starseed beings; this may happen through spiritual awakening.

Going through life most starseed’s feel like outcasts on planet Earth, they have the sense of emptiness within them and feel homesick, longing to go back to their true home. Then again there are many who have made Earth their home and are helping and guiding people with their spiritual knowledge.

What are the Starseeds Types?

There are many different types of starseeds here on Earth… Listed below are some of the most common starseed types.

Andromedan Starseeds

The Andromedan starseeds are from our neighboring galaxy andromeda. Andromedan beings are freedom seekers; they will always change jobs, homes and relationships to find their freedom. They are seekers and never comfortable being in one place for too long and often have feelings of being trapped.

They love to travel and they thrive on many types of realities. They have a passion for cars and enjoy driving fast, or even flying in airplanes. Their passion stimulates their subconscious memories of their home.

Apollonian starseeds

Apollonian starseeds thrive on learning, they love the idea of improving their abilities in any way they can. They have varied interest in taking classes to develop their skills. Simply Apollonian’s don’t allow themselves to be limited to anything. They hate being labeled or limited in their roles.

Apollonian starseeds know they have work to do on Earth; they have taken on a healing approach mainly because of their deep connection to earth and her needs. They have early recognition of energy fields, auras and spirits; they are very much drawn to spiritual learning as way to find answers and information

Arcturians Aliens

Arturians aliens are deep thinkers; they are the ones with strong personalities and deep inner strength. On the surface they appear hard, but they are very capable and powerful. They have a feeling that they have a important purpose in their life.

Arcturians don’t seem to have many close friends, or intimate relationships but instead they have casual friends. However if they were to accept you as their close friend, know that you have been carefully considered.

Lyran starseed

Lyran starseeds are all about their mission here on Earth. They are interested in space travel and astronomy or science fiction. Often Lyran starseeds are master at healing and are the ones who founded Lemurian civilization.

Lyran beings often see other people’s potential. People are attracted to them and acknowledge their authority. They appear confident, chilled and sometimes they can be serious. They don’t like keeping their family and friends close, they seem to be very independent.

Pleiadians and Sirians

Pleiadians and sirians have been here on Earth for a long time. The pleiadians are very ancient, they have traveled many places in the universe, pleiadians are a humanoid type of race. Pleiadians are very sensitive, loving and compassionate. They always carry pleasant and gentle energy. They want everyone to be happy and be at peace.

Sirians have deep connection with Earth and the energies of nature. Many Sirians have had numerous lives as American indians and they maintain close ties and memories of these lives. Sirians are very intuitive and visual; they have the ability to see things which others do not.

The Many Starseed Physical Symptoms

Now that we have gone through the list of many known starseeds, you may resonate with some of the descriptions. Maybe you have already known where you are from. You have felt lonely and sometimes felt home sick, yes the Earth’s energies can feel foreign to many of the starseeds here and as a result they face many physical symptoms. Here some of the common starseed physical symptoms.

1. You feel like you are in a pressure cooker or in overwhelming energy; you feel stressed. This is a symptom that you are adjusting to a higher vibrational state and you will at some point adjust. Your old behaviors, patterns and beliefs are coming to the surface so there is a lot going on inside of you.

2. A feeling of disorientation, you feel like you don’t know where you are, a loss of sense of place. After the activation you move into higher vibrational frequency or higher dimension.

3. There may be some unusual aches and pains throughout your body. Your body is purifying and releasing blocked energy.

4. You are waking up at night between 2 and 4 am. Much is going on in your dream state. You can’t seem to be there for a long time and need a break.

5. There are some periods of deep sleeping. You are just resting from all the acclimating and you are integrating, and building up for the next phase.

6. You are sensitive to your surroundings. Crowds, noise, foods, tv other human voices are barely tolerable. You also tend to overwhelm very easily and become over stimulated. You are just tuning up.

7. You don’t feel like doing anything at all. Your body is in a rest period and knows what it needs.

8. You can’t tolerate low vibrational energy, either in conversations, attitudes, social set ups, healing modalities etc. They practically make you feel sick inside. You are in a higher vibrational and your energies are no longer in alignment.

Conclusion

We now know what a starseed is and the different types of starseeds that are incarnating here on Earth; each one having their own unique purpose and characteristics. We know the physical symptoms that starseeds go through here on Earth. If you resonate with any of the starseeds let us know, we love hearing from you.

Advanced alien civilisations PROVED by maths: ‘Humans not the first and not the last’

Scientists say it’s ridiculously unlikely that we are universe’s first intelligent culture.

A calculation gives odds of less than one in 10 billion trillion that aliens haven’t developed technology like ours.

Which means that – either now or in the past – numerous advanced civilisations must have existed on worlds besides our own.

Professor Adam Frank from the University of Rochester, who co-authored the new paper, said our experience on earth was far from unique.

“One in 10 billion trillion is incredibly small,” he said. “To me, this implies that other intelligent, technology producing species very likely have evolved before us.

“Before our result you’d be considered a pessimist if you imagined the probability of evolving a civilisation on a habitable planet were one in a trillion.

“Now even that guess implies that what’s happened here on Earth with humanity has in fact happened about a 10billion other times over cosmic history.”

The odds were arrived at by adjusting the Drake equation from the 1960s, which calculates the likelihood that alien civilisations exist.

It’s a sum that examines the number of habitable planets in the universe and then the likelihood of civilisation arising on them.

But the new equation removes one of the big unknowns from its predecessor, how long advanced cultures will likely exist.

It also dispatches with the question of how probable it is for civilisation to arise on habitable planets.

Could a 'Star Trek'-Like Genesis Device Transform Alien Worlds?

A theoretical project could help to turn marginally habitable planets into rich environments capable of hosting microbes, a new paper argues. The project is reminiscent of a fictional machine called "the Genesis Device," which appeared in two 1980s "Star Trek" films, but the author told Space.com that the resemblance is mostly coincidental.

In the film "The Wrath of Khan" (1982), the Genesis Device was accidentally deployed and created a whole new planet in a time span of just days or weeks. The real-world device would be used to plant terrestrial lifeforms on an existing planet that has some of the ingredients of habitability, but not all of them.

An idea for a sort-of real-world version of that fictional device, called the Genesis project, is described in a new paper by Claudius Gros, a professor who studies complex system theory and simulated robotics at Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany. [10 Exoplanets That Could Host Alien Life]

In the new paper, Gros argues that it would be possible to terraform planets(effectively make them more like Earth), using robotic probes that would carry terrestrial organisms and deposit them on the surface of the alien planet. However, the technology for such probes is not even in the design phase, making it uncertain when such a project could come to light.

"The Genesis project is about giving life [the chance] to evolve all by itself on other planets," said Gros in an e-mail to Space.com. "This process is robotic only in the sense that the initial seeds will be transported by robotic interstellar probes."

Gradual evolution

Upon deployment, a probe would send down "nano-size re-entry capsules" that would carry an array of terrestrial organisms. Ahead of deploying it, scientists would decide which terrestrial organisms might be best suited to the chosen planet's particular environment. Over time, the scientists would watch how the planet reacts to the arrival of the new organisms. 

If scientists find a planet that is generally hospitable to life and seed it with the right kind of organisms, Gros says there could very likely be "global-scale ecological disasters" in the first while, such as "uncontrolled blossoming of unicellular algae." But, he said, the planet would be expected to stabilize in a few thousand years. Whether or not the newly deposited life-forms survive, or even thrive, will depend on several factors, such as how much carbon dioxide is in the planet's atmosphere, the average temperature of the planet, and how much sunlight reaches the surface (or if the life-forms must rely on another energy source, likehydrothermal activity).

Of course, once a real-world planet is "seeded" with life, things won't play out the way they do in the movie "The Search for Spock" (1984): evolution will proceed at a normal pace. And unlike the film, the planet wouldn't age rapidly, either.

Scientists have strong evidence that life appeared on Earth about 1.2 billion years after the planet's formation, but there are also hints that organisms may have appeared only half a billion years after the planet's birth. Multicellular animals and planets only appeared with the Cambrian explosion, close to 550 million years ago. While something like the Genesis project could jump-start this process on another planet, Gros said, it would depend on the specifics of the planet; for example, it would still take at least 10 million to 100 million years for the terrestrialorganisms to produce oxygen and have it accumulate in the planet's atmosphere, making way for more advanced life-forms. "Enough time to watch more than a few 'Star Trek' movies," he joked.

Gros added that he thinks the technology needed to send these terraforming probes to other planets should be available in 50 to 100 years. But he said his outlook will be influenced by the success of a project called Breakthrough Starshot, which aims to send postage-stamp-size probes to the star system nearest to Earth, using a massive laser to kick-start the probe on its journey. The Starshot project was just announced in April; its leadership includes famed physicist Stephen Hawking and billionaire investor Yuri Milner.

"The Genesis project is quite unique in the sense that there will be no tangible benefit for humanity," he added. "There is, however, no doubt that the project will be realizable both scientifically as well as economically in the not too far future. Personally I find the thought of life flowering elsewhere in the universe very appealing."

As described in the paper, two of the reasons that Gros feels the device could be feasible at some point are the success of exoplanet searches in finding small, rocky planets that could have some characteristics that make them potentially hospitable to life, and early-stage studies on robotic interstellar travel (including the Breakthrough Starshot proposal). However, it is unclear exactly when a device like the one described by Gros could be ready, as much of the work in these fields is in the early stages.

Ethical questions

Should Genesis be deployed, Gros acknowledges an ethical dilemma with the situation. If some form of life already exists on the planet (something the scientists who launched Genesis didn't notice), it's possible the newly introduced life-forms would wipe out the native life-forms. 

Gros writes that there are two general points of view for planetary protection, which contrast the scientific benefit for humanity with the idea that independently evolved life has "value per se." Gros advocates balancing these options in each individual situation to figure out what the best solution is.

Gros' research has been accepted in the journal Astrophysics and Space Science, and is available now on the pre-publishing site Arxiv.

Why NASA Picked Space Rock Bennu for Its Asteroid-Sampling Mission

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — What's so special about Bennu?

NASA had literally thousands of potential targets for its asteroid-samplingOSIRIS-REx mission, which is scheduled to launch Thursday (Sept. 8) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station here. But the agency decided on a space rock named Bennu, because the asteroid checks off three important boxes.

"Bennu's size, primitive and carbon-rich composition and orbit make it one of the most fascinating and accessible asteroids, and that is why it was ultimately chosen as the target asteroid for the OSIRIS-REx mission," Christina Richey, OSIRIS-REx deputy program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C., said during a news conference Tuesday (Sept. 6). [Osiris-Rex: NASA's Asteroid Sample-Return Mission in Pictures]

The main goal of the $800 million OSIRIS-REx mission (whose name is short for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer) involves learning more about the role asteroids may have played in seeding Earth (and perhaps other worlds) with the building blocks of life.

If all goes according to plan, OSIRIS-REx will arrive at Bennu in August 2018, grab at least 2 ounces (60 grams) of asteroid material two years later and return this sample to Earth in September 2023.

Snagging samples from an asteroid in deep space is a tricky operation under any circumstances, but it's especially difficult when the space rock is less than 660 feet (200 meters) or so wide, Richey said. That's because small asteroids rotate fast — sometimes fast enough to fling material off the surface, leaving little stuff for a visiting probe to grab.

"Furthermore, it's difficult [for a spacecraft] to match the rotation speed of a rapidly rotating object," Richey said.

But Bennu is nearly 1,640 feet (500 m) in diameter, and it rotates just once every 4.3 hours — slowly enough that OSIRIS-REx should be able acquire samples via a "safe, smooth, slow high-five" of the surface, she added.

The nearly spherical asteroid is also quite accessible, thanks to a relatively Earth-like orbit. Bennu completes one lap around the sun every 1.2 years and comes into Earth's neighborhood every six years, Richey said. In addition, the asteroid's orbit is inclined by just 6 degrees compared to that of Earth.

"So it really is optimal for accessibility, for the spacecraft to go to and then return from" in a relatively short amount of time, Richey said.

Then there's the composition.

Bennu "has a very dark, black surface that we think indicates high concentrations of carbon, and hopefully in the form of organic material," OSIRIS-REx principal investigator Dante Lauretta, of the University of Arizona, told Space.com last month.

"We're really interested in bringing back a pristine sample of the early solar system," he added. "Did these kinds of bodies [like Bennu] deliver organic material and water, in the form of hydrated minerals like clay, to the surface of our planet that created the habitability and the environments that may have led to the origin of life?"

But Bennu wasn't the only asteroid that met all of these necessary criteria. In fact, the OSIRIS-REx team eventually identified five suitable finalists, Lauretta said.

"We selected asteroid Bennu as the final target of OSIRIS-REx because it was so well characterized, with the radar data and telescopic data, that we felt that really reduced risk to the mission profile," he said during Tuesday's news conference.

Indeed, Bennu, which was discovered in 1999, is the best-understood near-Earth asteroid that has never been visited by a spacecraft, Richey said.

Bennu offers some bonus perks as well. It's classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid, and there's aslight chance it could slam into Earth in the late 22nd century, scientists have said. OSIRIS-REx's observations will allow researchers to fine-tune their understanding of Bennu's orbit, and thus the threat it poses to Earth, Lauretta said. The mission should also shed light on the forces that can nudge an asteroid this way and that along its trajectory, Lauretta said.

One such force comes from the solar energy that asteroids radiate away as heat, in a phenomenon known as the Yarkovsky effect.

"When that happens, it acts like a thruster and changes the trajectory of the asteroid," Lauretta told Space.com in August. "If you want to be able to predict where an object like Bennu is going to be in the future, you have to account for this phenomenon, and we're going to provide the best-ever scientific investigation of this fascinating concept."

Research Reveals That Hundreds of Black Holes May be Hiding in our Galaxy

 

NASA

IN BRIEF

New research, using advance computer simulations, on a galactic globular cluster reveals a slight change in our understanding of how black holes are formed. It may be possible for one globular cluster to host several hundred black holes — an occurrence previously thought to be impossible.

https://youtu.be/-fmWeYcAksQ

GLOBULAR CLUSTERS AREN’T BORING

Globular clusters are collections of stars that orbit around a galactic center. Most are ancient and generally considered uneventful, remnants of a star system’s early, first few billion, years. A team of researchers from the University of Surrey, however, thinks there may be more to these clusters than we can actually see.

Using advance computer modeling, researchers Miklos Peuten and Mark Gieles chose to study a globular cluster called NGC 6101 — mainly because this ancient cluster showed a less concentrated distribution of stars, unlike younger clusters.

What they discovered when mapping NGC 6101 over its lifetime of 13 billion years might change our understanding of how black holes are formed.

RIDDLED WITH HOLES

It turns out, NGC 6101’s less concentrated distribution of stars may be due to the large population of black holes within the cluster itself.

Black holes are not observable via telescope, because no light escape from of them. “In order to find them, we look for their gravitational effect on their surroundings. Using observations and simulations, we are able to spot the distinctive clues to their whereabouts and therefore effectively ‘see’ the un-seeable”, explains Peuten.

Originally, a black hole was thought to be expelled from its parent cluster during its supernova explosion. NGC 6101 shows that it may not entirely be the case. It seems that it’s possible for black holes to stay within their parent cluster. This is the first time such a population of black holes existing within a globular cluster was detected. 

In 2013 astrophysicists discovered that some individual black holes can stay within globular clusters, a phenomena possible because a companion star donates material to the black hole. 

This study was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

To Bennu and Back: NASA Just Launched the First-Ever Asteroid Return Mission

IN BRIEF

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has launched aboard an Atlas V 411 rocket. It's headed towards the asteroid Bennu, which could hold some pretty incredible secrets about our origins. It's so incredible that the principle investigator of the mission already has plans for a second trip.

We just had our first ever landing on a comet in 2014 (and we finally found Philae this week!). Now, we’re going to an asteroid and coming back. Can you believe it?

Tonight, the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft launched aboard an Atlas V 411 rocket. But it has quite the journey ahead of it—it’s not slated to reach its target until 2018.

Just what is that target? A Near-Earth asteroid called Bennu.

OSIRIS-REX

The OSIRIS-REx mission hopes to answer some of the biggest questions about our existence: Where did humans come from? How did the Earth form?

It might seem strange that we’re heading to an asteroid for the answer, but scientists expect that Bennu may hold clues to the origin of the Solar System and the source of the water and organic molecules that may have made their way to Earth.

As previously mentioned, this won’t be a quick trip. The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft has an approximately two-year cruise to reach Bennu. Upon arrival, OSIRIS-REx will spend another two years conducting surface mapping and sample site reconnaissance operations before performing the sampling maneuver in 2020. OSIRIS-REx will then deliver the pristine sample of Bennu back to Earth in 2023.

The craft comes equipped with many instruments vital to exploring Bennu, such as the OSIRIS-REx Camera Suite (OCAMS), which a system consisting of three cameras. Additionally, the spacecraft has two systems that will enable the sample collection and return, including the Touch-And-Go Sample Acquisition Mechanism (TAGSAM), which is an articulated robotic arm with a sampler head to collect a sample of Bennu’s surface. Fun Fact: the design for the TAGSAM began as a red solo cup and some compressed gas in one of the scientist’s driveways.

WHY BENNU?

There’s a few reasons scientists chose Bennu over the more than 500,000 other known asteroids in our Solar System. First, did we mention that Bennu is one of the most potentially hazardous asteroids out there? According to NASA, there’s a relatively high probability that good old Bennu will collide with Earth (but not until late in the 22nd century, so a problem for future generations).

Still, scientists are being proactive. OSIRIS-REx will help determine Bennu’s physical and chemical properties, which will be critical to know in the event of an impact mitigation mission.

Bennu is also in close proximity to Earth. The closest asteroids to Earth are called Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). As the name suggests, NEOs are objects that orbit within 1.3 AU of the Sun. (1 AU = the distance between Earth and the Sun, or ~93 million miles) For a sample return mission like OSIRIS-REx, the most accessible asteroids for a spacecraft to reach are located between 1.6 AU and 0.8 AU. The ideal asteroid has an Earth-like orbit with low eccentricity and inclination—just like Bennu.

Another reason scientists chose Bennu was because asteroids like it contain natural resources such as water, organics, and precious metals. In the future, we could mine these. In fact, asteroids may one day fuel the exploration of the solar system by robotic and manned spacecraft.

“What could you do with that material to go farther in space? That’s where I see the real possibility,” says Dante Lauretta, Principal Investigator for OSIRIS-REx. Lauretta has big hopes for the craft, as well as Bennu. “I fully expect Bennu will be visited again after OSIRIS-REx,” says Lauretta.

We can’t wait.

De OSIRIS-REx van zes meter lang en 2.100 kilogram werd om 19.05 uur (vrijdag 01.05 uur Belgische tijd) bij een heldere hemel gelanceerd vanaf Cape Canaveral. "Ons ruimtevaartuig OSIRIS-REx is onderweg, en alles verloopt volgens schema", zo zei de NASA op Twitter.

Het is de eerste keer dat NASA stalen gaat afnemen op een asteroïde. Daarvoor zal de OSIRIS-REx eerst nog foto's nemen en andere onderzoeken doen met behulp van vijf wetenschappelijke instrumenten en camera's.

Gevaarlijkste bekende asteroïde 
Bennu, met een diameter van ongeveer 490 meter, werd in 1999 ontdekt en wordt als de gevaarlijkste bekende asteroïde beschouwd. Wetenschappers achten het immers mogelijk dat Bennu in de 22ste eeuw de aarde zal raken. Al is die kans slechts 1 op de 2.700, de impact ervan zou ongeveer 80.000 keer krachtiger zijn dan de atoombom op Hiroshima, aan het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De OSIRIS-REx moet Bennu bereiken in augustus 2018 en zou in 2020 met een robotarm een staal tussen 60 gram en twee kilogram moeten kunnen nemen, om in 2023 terug te keren naar de aarde. In totaal zal het ruimtetuig meer dan 650 miljoen kilometer afleggen.

De missie zal wetenschappers helpen de impact die asteroïden hebben op de aarde beter te begrijpen. Daarnaast zullen ze ook meer te weten komen over de geschiedenis van Bennu van de laatste 4,5 miljard jaar en over de evolutie van het zonnestelsel.

Astronauts and 'Star Trek': How a TV Show Inspired Real Space Travelers

Terry Virts was halfway through an International Space Station mission when the lifelong Trekkie received some sad news: Leonard Nimoy, who played the beloved Vulcan character Spock, had died at age 83.

During a busy day on Feb. 28, 2015, Virts, an Expedition 42-43 spaceflyer, received an email with the news from a friend in NASA's astronaut office. Virts wanted to commemorate Nimoy's passing; with time on the space station often scheduled in 5-minute increments, however, he had only moments to reflect. 

Then inspiration struck while Virts was in the cupola, the International Space Station's seven-windowed room that provides constant views of Earth. ['Star Trek' and NASA: A Mind-Meld of Science Fiction and Fact in Pictures]

"The idea came to me: I'll do the Vulcan 'live long and prosper' sign with Earth in the background," Virts told Space.com in an interview. "So I ran and tweeted it in literally a few minutes. That was the only time I had."

The Twitter post generated more than 38,000 retweets and was widely covered by worldwide media. Coincidentally, the picture was taken over Nimoy's birthplace of Boston. While this is one of the most famous examples of "Star Trek" influence reaching into orbit, astronauts and "Star Trek" have intersected in many ways over the past 50 years.

Early influences

When "Star Trek" first aired, on Sept. 8, 1966, the American human space program was only four years old. NASA was practicing rendezvous, docking and spacewalks in the agency's Gemini program. The Apollo moon landingswere still three years away, and the space shuttle was only just being designed.

It was an exciting time for future American astronauts, including Virts, Tom Jones and Mike Massimino. All three would become shuttle and space station astronauts, and they told Space.com that the 1960s space program highly inspired them as children. "Star Trek" was a lesser influence, they said.

"I really liked the original series, but I don't think it was an inspiration," said Massimino, 54, who participated in two Hubble Space Telescope repair missions. He said he remembers sitting in kindergarten knowing he would watch the series with his older brother that night. He caught the show again in reruns, but he said his real inspiration came from Neil Armstrong — the first moonwalking astronaut — and "those guys" from the Apollo program.

Tom Jones, 61, said he remembers watching the original series when he was about 11. At the time, he was already following the "space race" between the United States and the Soviet Union to the moon in newspapers and on television, he said. 

"When they brought out a new series like 'Star Trek,' it was an additional push toward space as a career possibility," Jones said, but he added that he caught the space bug from several sources. Still, he said he would run home from his Boy Scout meetings three blocks away to catch the opening moments of the show on Friday nights.

Appearing on the show

Virts, 48, said he recently found a picture of himself from his elementary school years, wearing a yellow "Star Trek" shirt. He used to watch reruns of the show at his father's house and think of how cool it would be to have a communicator — just like the smartphone version he uses today, like for the Space.com interview, he joked.

"Star Trek" continued as a constant through his early career, Virts said, adding that he remembers discussing Captain James T. Kirk's leadership style in classes at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The first "Star Trek" movie, in 1979, also resonated with Virts, he said, because it mentioned a real-life space mission called Voyager.

While Virts was a fan of "Star Trek" and "Star Wars," he said he considered the series about "dreaming what was possible in a cool way that was more sparking the imagination." That's why he said the science-fiction series were only a partial influence, because he could see NASA doing real things as they proceeded through the Apollo, Skylab and early shuttle programs.

Virts got a surprise invitation to be on the very last "Star Trek: Enterprise" episode in 2005 after being a mission backup for Mike Fincke, an Expedition 9 astronaut. Fincke, for his part, spoke with Scott Bakula (who played Captain Jonathan Archer on "Enterprise") during his time in space. 

After Fincke's flight, he and Virts were at NASA contractor meetings in Los Angeles when they were invited on the set of "Enterprise" and eventually given a short cameo. Their appearance put the astronauts in a select group of "Star Trek"-appearing spaceflyers; the first was Mae Jemison, who appeared on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in 1993.  

Virts' "Star Trek" connection persisted for years afterward. In 2009, Virts recorded a special feature for a "Star Trek" DVD set. And recently, Virts sat at a table with the original series' George Takei (who played Hikaru Sulu) during a charity event led by Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

"I showed him the Spock Vulcan symbol [tweeted from space], and he told me some cool stories about Leonard Nimoy," Virts recalled. "It was surreal. [I thought], 'When I was little, I watched you in reruns, and now I'm having dinner with you.' Having been to space myself, I am having dinner with Mr. Sulu. It was really amazing."

These days, Virts is working on a space photography book that should be published next fall. No word yet on if the Vulcan salute will be part of the collection. [Star Trek's George Takei Talks with Space.com (Video)]

Inspiring the next generation

Massimino is now the senior advisor for space programs for the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, an attraction housed on an aircraft carrier in New York City. The museum is hosting the traveling "Trek"-themed exhibit "Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience" on the adjacent pier. 

"Star Trek" has some potential to inspire kids, but it's not necessarily a way to educate them, Massimino said. He added that he is working to educate people in other ways — through his new book coming out Oct. 4, by teaching at Columbia University and also spending time at the Intrepid.

Jones — who has written several books for the public in the past few years — pointed out that even though "Star Trek" and real spaceflight are not exactly the same, some things from the series have already come true. One highlight of his shuttle career was working directly with the Russians — mirroring the cooperation shown in the show — on the International Space Station. (On his last flight, on STS-98 in 2001, his crew delivered the U.S. Destiny Laboratory Module to the orbiting complex.)

"We were in the pioneering stages of space exploration, even in the shuttle era," Jones said. "We didn't expect to live life according to the 'Star Trek' model, but it was fun to see what parallels were there."

How NASA Is Making 'Star Trek' Tech a Reality

"Star Trek" technologies are starting to become a reality in our everyday lives; just ask anyone who owns a cellphone or tries a virtual reality headset. But how real are these "Star Trek" technologies in space today, 50 years after the iconic science fiction series' TV debut? While the tech for warp drives and transporters remains elusive, NASA is using some technology in space that would be at home on the starship Enterprise.

Five-year mission planning

One key way NASA is emulating "Star Trek" is by finding ways for humans to spend years in space without requiring constant resupply missions from Earth, said Jason Crusan, NASA's director for advanced exploration systems. This means using the International Space Station as a test bed for technology that can extend an astronaut's stay in space and thus could be used one day on the long journey to Mars.

Space station astronauts already drink water mostly recovered from urine, but NASA wants to push its recovery rate (now in the 80 percent range) even further, Crusan said. [13 Things "Star Trek" Gets Right (and Wrong) About Space Tech]

"Humans have a lot of salt in our waste," Crusan told Space.com. So, in late June, NASA awarded Paragon Space Development Corp. a $5.1 million contract to create a Brine Processor Assembly for flight in 2018. This assembly is expected to remove brine and recover up to 94 percent of the water from urine, NASA officials said in a statement.

Ongoing technology developments also allow astronauts to manufacture their own tools using 3D printing and to use atmospheric monitors to check the air in the cabin environment for contaminants. Those monitors shrink huge gas chromatography mass spectrometry units, which identify different substances in test samples, to about the size of a toaster.

All of these are important considerations in sending a future crew to Mars in an Orion spacecraft, along with one to three other habitat modules attached to provide extra room, Crusan said. This "Orion plus" spacecraft would likely have solar electric propulsion capability — engines that ionize noble gases to give a small amount of thrust and run for long periods of time, Crusan said.

THE SECRET INTERSTELLAR STAR-FLEET - HIDDEN FROM HUMANITY

UFO - SPACESHIP with ALIENS in Forest filmed by Hikers - Poland !!! May 2016

May 2016 - Poland, Bialowieza Forest. Very rare footage from hikers who filmed UFO/spaceship with aliens in Forest.

 

Watch the VIDEO HERE !

 

 

Emilcin Abduction was a supposed alien abduction of farmer, Jan Wolski in May 1978. There was little media attention at the time. A monument was subsequently erected in Emilcin, Poland, at the site where the abduction is said to have taken place.

 

an Wolski (29 May 1907 – 8 January 1990) was out driving a horse-drawn cart early on 10 May 1978 when he says he was jumped by two "short, green-faced humanoid entities" about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall. The two beings jumped onto Wolski's cart and, according to Wolski, sat next to him and started to speak in a strange language. Originally he had mistaken them for foreigners because of their "slanted eyes and prominent cheekbones." Wolski drove his cart, with the two beings aboard, to a clearing where he says a large object was hovering. 

 

 

According to Wolski, a purely white unidentified flying object, about 14.75 feet (4.5 m) – 16.5 feet (5.0 m) in height and "as long as a bus," hovered in the air at an altitude of about 16 feet (4.9 m). There were no notable external features of the craft (i.e. lights, joints, etc.). Wolski mentioned that there were four objects on the craft made of a black material that appeared to be drill-like in appearance, which generated a humming sound. An elevator-like platform attached to the hovering craft descended to the ground.

 

Wolski then claims that he was taken aboard the ship with two additional entities he met near the flying object. He was then gestured to "dress down" (take off his clothes). There were about eight or ten benches situated around the craft, each the size for one person to sit in. There were some rooks in front of the door which was moving its legs and wings but seemed to be immobilizied. Wolski claims that he was then examined with a tool that resembled two dishes or "saucers." After this, he was ordered to redress, and it was then that he noticed there were no lights or windows on the craft, only the daylight coming through the craft's door. Entities ate and offered him something like icicles but he refused. The craft's interior was described as black with a greyish tint, similar to that of the creatures' outfits. 

 

 

 

Afterwards, Wolski returned home to his family and notified them of what had just happened, urging them to come see the floating craft. He notified his sons who called to other neighbours, and together they went to investigate the site. The grass where the craft had been had signs of usage in it, being "trodden down covered with dew and paths coming in all directions." Wolski returned home, leaving the rest of the neighbours and family at the site. Wolski's sons claim that there were footprints left behind by the beings, though they did not detail whether the footprints were larger or smaller than their own.

 

A six-year-old boy claims to have witnessed a bus-like craft hover over a barn, then climb high into the sky and vanish.

 

Wolski explained these memories in an interview with Henryk Pomorski and Krystyna Adamczyk in July 1978, two months following the incident. The audio tape of the interview was kept in a private archive for a long time before being released to the public.

 

In 2005, a memorial was constructed in Emilcin at 51°8′2.63″N 22°2′16.16″E to commemorate the alien abduction of Jan Wolski. The text in Polish, read: "On 10 May 1978 in Emilcin a UFO object landed. The truth will astonish us in the future".

Russian Pilot reported close encounter with Two UFOs !!!

July 2016 - Russia, Kursk area - 60,000ft. Russian military pilot reported a close encounter with two UFOs, they were filmed by on-board camera.

UFOs over RUSSIA

 

The Russians approached the subject of UFOs with the utmost seriousness and attention to detail. Boris Sokolov, a retired Russian colonel ran an in-depth study in 1980. "For 10 years," Sokolov said, "the entire Soviet Union became one gigantic UFO listening post."

 

There were 40 cases where pilots encountered UFOs, explained Sokolov. Initially, they were commanded to chase, then shoot the UFO. But when the pilots engaged, the UFO would speed up. On two occasions, pilots gave chase, lost control and crashed, with the crew killed on impact. After these unfortunate incidents, the pilots received another order: When they saw a UFO they should change course - and get out.

 

On October 5, 1983 Sokolov received an order from his commander to leave immediately for the Ukraine. A report from the base commander to the Chief of the General Staff claimed that the day before, from 4 until 8 in the evening, a UFO had been observed near the base. During that time, the missile launch codes had mysteriously been enabled. How this happened has never adequately been explained.

 

Dr Rimili Avramenko, a Russian scientist revealed that during the Vietnam War, a massive UFO flew over Hanoi. Although every major weapon in that city had its sights set on the craft, it didn't budge.

 

UFO sightings by Soviet cosmonauts are not uncommon. Unlike American astronauts' reluctance to talk about the subject, Soviet references to UFOs were reported from the very beginning, with Yuri Gagarin himself. In documents, Gagarin is quoted as saying UFOs are real, they fly at incredible speeds and that he would tell more about what he had seen in orbit - provided he be given permission to do so.

 

According to Cosmonaut Mus Manarov on the 1991 Mir Mission: “It happened during a visit mission, when all our attention was focused on the slowly approaching space capsule… It is possible that it was a kind of UFO.”

 

Yuri Andropov, the former Soviet leader and long-time head of the KGB, had an acute personal interest in UFOs and ordered a 13-year programme that required every soldier in the military to monitor sightings over Russian territory.

 

Through Andropov's personal interest, in 1978, two committees were established to investigate UFOs, one military and one civilian. Andropov ordered four million Soviet soldiers to file detailed reports of incidents.

 

According to some sources, the programme led to hundreds of thousands of sightings being recorded in the 13 years before it was abandoned with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1990.

 

However, most cases had a 'rational explanation and were mainly linked to technical issues like missile launches'.

Waarom landen UFO’s niet in de voortuin van het Witte Huis?

Amerikaanse miljardairs weigeren het UFO-fenomeen serieus te nemen, maar doneren wel aan het SETI-instituut. Er was echter één uitzondering, schrijft directeur van de Indian Society for Extraterrestrial Studies (INSETS) Sabir Hussain voor de krant The New Indian Express.

Filantroop en miljardair Laurence Rockefeller (1910-2004), de vierde zoon van John D. Rockefeller, richtte in 1993 het UFO Disclosure Initiative op. Hij drong er bij president Clinton op aan om alle informatie die de CIA en de luchtmacht sinds de jaren veertig hadden verzameld over UFO’s, vrij te geven.

Bill Clinton en Laurence Rockefeller in 1995

Een jaar later gaf Clinton opdracht miljoenen geheime stukken te openbaren. In Frankrijk resulteerden de inspanningen van Rockefeller in 1999 in het beroemde Cometa-rapport. De miljardair financierde ook het onderzoek van de bekende Harvard-professor dr. John Mack, die een bestseller schreef over buitenaardse ontvoeringen, en het Disclosure Project van dr. Steven Greer.

Systematisch mishandeld

Hussain schrijft dat UFO’s sinds de jaren veertig duizenden individuen hebben benaderd en uitgebreide informatie hebben gegeven over de planetenstelsels waaruit zij afkomstig waren. ‘Contactees’ kregen vooral te horen dat de mensheid de aarde systematisch mishandelt, met ecologische crises tot gevolg.

Iedere keer als mensen over hun ervaringen spreken worden ze voor gek versleten of uitgelachen door de mainstream media, de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap, inlichtingendiensten en de luchtmacht, aldus Hussain.

Gelogen

En waarom landen ze niet in de voortuin van het Witte Huis? Hij merkt op dat er in 1952 UFO’s zijn verschenen boven het Witte Huis en het Capitool, maar dat de Amerikaanse luchtmacht hierover heeft gelogen door te zeggen dat de waarnemingen waren veroorzaakt door ‘temperatuurinversie’.

De luchtmacht gaf piloten opdracht de objecten uit de lucht te schieten. Frank Feschino schreef er een boek over, getiteld Shoot Them Down – The Flying Saucer Air Wars of 1952.

Belangrijker nog is dat de Amerikaanse president helemaal niet spreekt namens het menselijk ras. Hij spreekt namens de olie-industrie, de wapenindustrie en de multinationals, aldus Hussain. Iedere keer dat ze verschijnen, sturen we onze gevechtstoestellen op ze af.

‘De fout ligt in onszelf’

De UFO’s hebben vervolgens twee mogelijkheden: de straaljagers neerschieten (zoals ze in 1976 boven Teheran hebben gedaan), of het gebied verlaten, wat ze meestal doen.

Shakespeare schreef in Julius Caesar: “De fout, beste Brutus, ligt niet in onze sterren, maar in onszelf.”

“Op dezelfde manier ligt de fout niet in UFO’s, maar in onszelf,” besluit Hussain. “Door onze naïeve, luie, ongeïnteresseerde en schaapachtige houding stellen we een kleine groep mensen in staat om de grootste gebeurtenis in de menselijke geschiedenis verborgen te houden voor de rest van de wereld.”
