 Blumenthal came up with an innovative scheme to use technologies of the space and intelligence agencies that can read a license plate from outer space to enhance the ability to find early signs of cancer within the breast. Despite these efforts and major technical progress on several fronts, no major change in how mammograms should be read and reviewed ever happened.
Because of what was called the Defense Department peace dividend, financial allocations were being shifted to peacetime activities. |

 Okay, you head-shakers, if all this just seems too fantastic to believe, let me ask you why you have no trouble accepting the fact that you can watch Oprah on your cellphone, thanks to invisible electrical impulses from outer space that communicate with cell towers to activate tiny computer programs in your handheld appliance. An invisible but equally powerful, comparable process also happens in our bodies. Why do you think that after two months female dorm mates find their menstrual periods have synchronized? |

 And the neurotics are significantly less work, too—it's a lot easier to talk in a relaxed fashion with someone about their marital problems, their self-esteem issues, their financial woes than it is to attempt to manage people who think that satellites are shocking them from outer space; who hallucinate about having sex with Jesus Christ; who imagine they are the love child of Sammy Davis Jr. |

 If we were somehow able to observe the eternally inflating universe from outside, as the surface of the Earth can be observed from outer space, we would see a multitude of island universes scattered in the vast inflating sea of false vacuum. If the universe is closed, then the view that would open in front of us might in fact resemble a picture of the globe, with continents and archipelagos surrounded by the ocean.* This globe is expanding at a staggering speed, the island universes are also growing exceedingly fast, and tiny new islands constantly appear and immediately start to expand. |

| He learned that carpeting which the medical center was about to throw out would create a mountain of waste so high it could be seen from outer space. All of it would end up in the local dump.
"I went to Sheldon dump in Houston. It's in an African American community." Yeoman stood there and watched bulldozers pile up old box springs, TV sets, carpeting and other waste. "It put me into very intense guilt and reflection. I began asking, 'What are we doing?'"1
Under Yeoman's and Poretto's leadership, the UT Health Sciences Center began its own quiet revolution. |

 Look around at what's happening with the eyes of a visitor from outer space (someone who has no knowledge of our bizarre customs and holidays). Then ask yourself: What the heck is behind all this?
The answer, of course, is the same thing that's behind everything else in this country, from politics to medicine: The Corporation. Halloween is big business. So is Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and every other holiday. |

 But what bothered Ed most about the experience he had in outer space was the current scientific explanation for biology and particularly consciousness, which now seemed impossibly reductive. Despite what he'd learned in quantum physics about the nature of the universe, during his years at MIT, it seemed that biology remained mired in a 400-year-old view of the world. |
| The world would exist as a matrix of indivisible interrelation, just as Ed had experienced it in outer space. What was so evidently missing from standard biology was an explanation for the organizing principle - for human consciousness.
Ed began devouring books about religious experiences, Eastern thought, and the little scientific evidence that existed on the nature of consciousness. |
| There'd been the highly successful card experiments of Joseph Rhine, used by Mitchell in outer space. Even more convincing were the studies of the Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn in the late 1960s, conducted in its special dream research laboratory. Montague Ullman and Stanley Krippner had conducted numerous experiments like the one with the Mexican painting to see if thoughts could be sent and incorporated into dreams. The Maimonides work had been so successful? |

 Astronauts have even used biofeedback to cure motion sickness while journeying to outer space.45
The more conventional view of biofeedback maintains that it has something to do with relaxation—learning to calm down the fight-or-flight responses of our autonomic nervous system. However, the sheer breadth of control would argue that the mechanism has more to do with the power of intention. Virtually every bodily process measurable on a machine—even a single nerve cell controlling a muscle fiber—appears to be within an individual's control. |

| At that same conference, he and Pribram were honored together for their exploration of outer space and inner space ?Pribram for his scientific work on the holographic brain, and Mitchell for outstanding scientific work on noetic sciences. That same year, Pribram received the Dagmar and Vaclav Havel prize for bringing together the sciences and humanities.
Hal Puthoff sat on the unofficial subcommittee of NASA's Breakthrough Propulsion Program: the Advanced Deep Space Transport (ADST) Group ?a group of people, he said, who are on the 'frontier of the frontier'. |
| For many years, Edgar Mitchell, now 71, depended on lectures about his exploits in outer space to fund his research into consciousness. Every so often Robert Jahn would submit a paper with unimpeachable statistical evidence to an engineering journal, and they would dismiss it out of hand. Not for the science, but for its shattering implications about the current scientific world view.
Nevertheless, Jahn and Puthoff and the other scientists all knew what they had. Each carried on with the stubborn blinkered confidence of the true inventor. The old way was simply one more hot-air balloon. |

| Temperatures in the refrigerator—a room-sized circular apparatus with a number of cylinders—can descend to a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero, almost -459 °F, three thousand times colder than the farthest reaches of outer space. For two days, liquid nitrogen and helium circulate around the refrigerator, and then three pumps constantly blasting out gaseous helium take the temperature down to the final rung. Without heat of any description, the atoms in matter slow to a crawl. At this scale of coldness, the universe would grind to a halt. |
| This conservative posturing masked a bold curiosity that led him into exotic areas of inquiry—the rhythms of biological systems, the volatile energy of outer space, the nature of epilepsy, the source of mystical visions—disparate areas that eventually converged in his mind after an extraordinary epiphany. Persinger realized that living things are attuned not only to each other, but also to the Earth and its continually shifting magnetic energies. |

| It concerned his famous experiments on precognition and extrasensory perception, including the card tests which would later be used by Edgar Mitchell in outer space. Rhine had conducted all of his experiments under carefully controlled conditions and they had yielded interesting results.2 The studies had shown that it was possible for a person to transmit information about card symbols to another or increase the odds of a certain number being rolled with a set of dice.
Schmidt had been drawn to Rhine's work for its implications in physics. |

 Sea buckthorn can also be used to prevent sunburn and radiation burns; Russian cosmonauts, for example, have used this herb to protect their skin against radiation burns when in outer space.
Sea buckthorn is also sometimes added to hair products to prevent baldness and stimulate hair growth.
Edible Uses
The berries can be eaten raw, though they are very acidic and taste better when sweetened or when harvested after a frost, which decreases their astrin-gency. They are seven times higher in vitamin C than lemons. Other parts of the plant are not generally considered edible. |

 Why don't we offer the job to Burt Rutan, the builder of Spaceship One, the first privately funded craft that has actually reached outer space. This guy knows how to get things done. And his designs actually fly!
Or why don't we invite Jeff Bezos to be in charge of NASA? The guy sure knows how to run a large organization with efficiency, and he's more than a little bit intrigued with space travel. In fact, he's launching his own company to help make long term space travel possible. If he ran NASA, I'm willing to bet he wouldn't make excuses like, 'Oh! We forgot to turn on the switch! |

 And if you're interested in watching small particles spin and move in straight lines in outer space, you may love this film. |
| But this all gets misinterpreted as "proof" that an object instantly changed direction in outer space. Therefore, it must be an alien spacecraft. Some people, it seems, want to believe in this "proof" so badly that their conscious minds will erase the stars in the background of the video that clearly show the starting and stopping of a camera zoom function. |

 In preparation for this resettlement plan, NASA is reportedly working hard on figuring out how to launch people into outer space without exploding them.
Scientists punished for "alternative" views on gravity
Speaking of NASA, a few outspoken NASA scientists are now being punished for going public with their own views on gravity. Claiming that gravity both exists and is very healthful for the human skeletal system, one NASA scientist has already been publicly admonished and reassigned to studying mosquito feces. |

 Looking down at the USA from outer space, for example, you would notice that it is a nation of physical and mental degenerates.
In this country, the number of people experiencing peak human health is very, very small... maybe 1 in 100. Of course, there are quite a number of people who get by and do okay, but the vast majority of Americans experience ongoing chronic disease and nervous system degeneration. Thus, they take on that "nursing home" look. I'm talking about people who are my own age, too -- people in their 30s, and even more in their 40s and 50s. |

 As oceanographer James Lindholm of the Pfleger Institute says, "For every tool we have to explore outer space — space stations, tethered missions, rovers, mapping—we have a comparable tool for ocean exploration... This suite of technologies allows us to study an environment that is equally hostile to human life" (SeaWeb 2005).
Some of what we're learning about the oceans comes as a direct result of space research—like the work of satellites that can see across the breadth of the electromagnetic spectrum, peering into the ocean's depths and identifying changes in temperature and chemistry. |

 He noted:
The year 1976 has been an active and successful year both in outer space and in the U.N. Committee of the Peaceful Uses of outer space....
During the past year, the United States has continued to participate cooperatively with other nations in the exploration of outer space. We have, for example launched Helios-2, built by the Federal Republic of Germany, the second scientific satellite to investigate the properties of interplanetary space close to the Sun. |

| Humans to be resettled to low-gravity planets
In order protect Americans from the risky effects of gravity, federal health officials are now urging Americans to live in outer space or to settle the outer planets where so-called "gravitational effects" are smaller (and presumably less harmful to Americans' health). To make room for this resettlement, U.S. President George Bush has declared all planets in the solar system to be American soil, especially any planets that might contain oil. |

 It was indeed Star Trek, but rather than entering outer space we were going deep into inner space where "no man has gone before." One moment I was observing a miniature cell and seconds later I was flying deep into its molecular architecture.
My awe at being at the edge of this scientific frontier was palpable. So was my excitement when I was made honorary co-pilot. I put my hands on the controls so that I could "fly" over this alien cellular landscape. |

| For example, there's one segment in this video that claims to show a UFO in outer space that zooms along at a certain angle and then it suddenly changes course and travels at a different angle. The narrator points this out very excitedly in the video, and I've heard other people talk about this particular sequence. They say, "See? Look! That object changed direction. |

 In 1959, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) asked the Pills-bury Company to develop a food system for astronauts in outer space consisting of total meal replacements in the form of bars for foods and tubes for liquids. NASA demanded safety as the highest priority. The agency did not want its astronauts to come down with microbial food poisoning while on space missions—a difficulty likely to be especially unpleasant under conditions of zero gravity. |
| Food scientists proved years ago that HACCP systems prevented foodborne illness in outer space. Those systems should work just as well on earth. Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands have reduced foodborne illnesses by instituting control systems at every stage of production, starting on the farm. They set testing standards to reduce pathogens, limit antibiotics in animal feed, prevent infections in transported animals, test for microbes at slaughterhouses and supermarkets, and provide incentives to the industry to comply with safety rules. Our government could also take such actions. |
| In addition to its demonstrable success in outer space, studies on earth also show that appropriate use of HACCP reduces foodborne illness. HACCP requires food companies to analyze production processes intelligently, anticipate safety hazards at appropriate critical control points, and establish effective prevention controls and standards. Table 8 outlines the seven principles of HACCP. These principles place the burden of ensuring safe food on its producers. Under HACCP, USDA inspectors would no longer poke and sniff animals or meat products. |

 Hold your hand out to catch a few raindrops, and a particle older than the earth, which has traveled trillions of miles and just arrived from outer space a few weeks before, will be in your palm.
As this laboriously constructed rain lands, it sends the inhabitants of your garden into action. Earthworms will start wriggling at top speed to the surface to avoid drowning as their open-ended subterranean tunnels fill up. |
