Amidst the jovial bouts of celebration, news of damage to the rocket slipped under the radar. The company believes the Falcon 9 will not be able to fly again. Now, skeptics are beginning to ask questions. Is this just a result of poor design, or is there a potential conspiracy to examine? Not to say that UFO's are the direct cause of this, but stranger things…

The Volcanic eruption of Mount Sourabaya was captured exclusively by NASA satellites. Volcanic ash and lava may not be the only thing the satellites captured. Aliens may have been watching the eruption even though humans couldn’t get a glimpse of the eruption live. According to NASA Earth Observatory, no humans live near the volcano’s ocean isle. If a UFO were spotted doing a flyby of the Mount Sourabaya eruption, it wouldn’t be the first time. There have been a number of UFO sightings at other…

After three unmanned flights, mission AS-204 (named Apollo 1 by the crew, and officially…

The Apollo Missions are a very important part of the space explorations project that the United States of America underwent. The missions consisted of tests and planning that ultimately landed men upon the moon. This was a great feat for mankind and allowed us to further investigate space technology and transform it into what we have today so that we might be able to further discover the world around us (Nasa). These missions allowed for us to understand the moon and it’s relationship to the…
