Italian Nuclear Physicist MURDERED! Was it the CIA?
What are the odds of two nuclear physicists dieing in the last two months? With a profession so rare and specialised I would say the odds are very very small. Previously the gentleman died from a supposed fall or suicide from the 7th or 8th floor of a building this happened about a month or two ago and I can no longer find any news reference of that death, now there is another nuclear physicist in Italy that has been found brutally murdered after receiving threatening phone calls.The propaganda machine is in full swing against Iran at the moment, it's just like the lead up to the Iraq war, they mainstream media are drumming up the fear about Iran wanting to make a nuclear weapon but now we have two dead nuclear physicists in the space of two months?
The odds of this are extremely low, the first death is highly suspicious and looks like a murder not a fall from the building and the second is a brutal murder - without a doubt the dirty pricks form the CIA and MOSSAD are working towards silencing anyone who could provide plausible evidence against the case for an attack on Iran and in the case their desire for nuclear weapons.
Keep an open mind people these agencies are a law unto themselves, they have had blood on their hands since their inception and they continue to work to undermine the world and keep the propaganda moving in their desired direction. CIA Style "You will believe this" ... "You will never hear this"
All the dirty moves and tricks are playing out right in front of our eye's just as they did before the Iraq war.
Murdered inhabitant of Rijswijk appears to be nuclear physicist
Monday december 28 2009 11:59
The 54 year old man that was found dead on thursday in his flat on the Mayor Elsenlane in Rijswijk ( near The Hague )
appears to be a renowed nuclear physicist. The Italian engineer Antonio Ferrigno was brutally murdered.
A spokesperson of the Hague PD confirmed Ferrigno’s identity on monday.
Pacemaker
According to the Italian media he was a researcher at the patent bureau that is located in Rijswijk .
He did groundbreaking work in the technological development of the pacemaker.
Ferrigno was found at noon on thursday the 24th by members of his family, with his hands
tied and lying in a big pool of blood, according to “De Telegraaf”
Ex-wife
At the moment the detectives are looking specifically for witnesses who walked past the house of the
victim that day between 04h00 and 06h00 in the morning and who may have seen something suspicious.
According to eye witnesses the Italian got very few visitors other than his daughter and from time to time
a woman of Antillian descent ( probably his ex-wife)
Lately he had received threatening phone calls, the reason for the threats is unknown.

Maurice Masse Alien Encounter 1965
Early Risers
According to medieval English folklore, planting lavender around your home will help keep evil spirits away. But judging from the experience of Valensole farmer Maurice Masse, it probably won't deter UFO entities. Indeed, it may even attract them.
Masse's close encounter occurred at 5:45 am on July 1st, 1965. He had already been working in the fields for an hour, and was smoking a cigarette in the shelter of a pile of rocks when he heard a shrill whistling sound.
Looking round, he found that a small egg-shaped craft had appeared in his lavender crop. It stood on six thin legs "like an enormous spider" and was topped by a transparent cupola containing two seats, back to back.
Beside the craft, two child-sized figures in grey overalls were bending down to pick the lavender. Masse dropped his cigarette and furtively crept towards them. He had recently found his plants inexplicably damaged on several occasions, and now it seemed he had a chance to catch the vandals in the act.
He was within fifteen feet of them when one of the figures spun around and aimed a small metal tube at him, instantly paralysing him.
The Lavender Lovers
Unable to move, the Masse could only stare in astonishment at the unearthly intruders. They were 4-ft-tall humanoids with bald oversized heads and large almond-shaped eyes. They wore green one-piece jumpsuits and had smooth chalk-white skin.
The entities regarded the farmer with "friendly curiosity" and appeared to be discussing him between themselves. They communicated by making inhuman gargling sounds, which originated from their throats rather than their tiny lipless mouths.
"They were looking at me and must have been making fun of me," Masse said. "Nevertheless, their facial expressions were not ill-natured but very much the reverse."
The entities turned and moon-walked back to their craft, "falling and rising in space like bubbles in a bottle without apparent support". The landing gear retracted and the machine rose slowly into the air with an ear-piercing whistle. At a height of sixty feet, it simply vanished.
"One moment the thing was there, and the next moment, it was not," Masse declared.
Aftershock
Standing alone in the field, Masse was horrified to find himself still immobilised. It took twenty minutes for the paralysis to wear off sufficiently for him to stumble home.
He felt utterly drained of strength. For months afterwards, he needed twice his usual amount of sleep. The patch of land where the craft had landed was soaked with moisture, and no crop would grow there for ten years afterwards.
Despite the unpleasant side-effects, Masse told Ufologist Jacques Vallee that he felt sure the entities were benevolent and meant him no harm.
A Mystery Within A Mystery
Masse hinted that during his encounter he had learnt - or been told - a mysterious and profound truth. However, he flatly refused to share it with investigators.
"I have not told anybody, not even my wife," he declared. "And nobody will make me tell of it".
- Classification (Hynek): CE3.
- Witness: Maurice Masse.
- Time & Place: 5:45am July 1 1965; Valensole, France.
- Entity Type (Lawson): Humanoid.
- Craft: 12-ft-long egg-shaped craft.

FOX NEWS Nonsense Exposed By Russia Today
There is no bigger idiot on television than Bill O'Reilly PERIOD! This complete moron shows no consideration, no manners and no intellect what so ever in his presentations, he's just a frail little pawn in the mainstream media machine doing his best to brain wash the masses.
The fact that FOX wants to start charging people for online news is hilarious, it's actually a godsend! no one in their right mind would ever pay for such rubbish, hopefully we'll rid the world of this propaganda machine forever.

Our real enemy is not the ones living in a distant land whose names or policies we don't understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it's profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us

At Last - Planet X Discovered
The idea of a new planet being discovered in our Solar System is pretty exciting. Even more so because of the many theories about "planet-x" or "Nibiru" being associated with space aliens and the doomsday prophecies of 2012.
Scientists at places like NASA and famous observatories have deflected inquiries about the discovery for a few years now, mainly because they feared being associated with these "fringe" theories. But like it or not -- it has happened. Well... according to a team of Spanish artronomers who call themselves the StarViewer Team.
The group made the rounds of all the news web sites in the past two weeks, claiming they discovered something very significant. It's almost twice the size of Jupiter and just beyond our furthest planetoid, Pluto. Although it's not a planet, it appears to have planets or large satellites encircling it. It's what astronomers call a "brown dwarf star" and its official name is "G1.9".

Plug N' Fly The Electric Aircraft It's HERE!
Ladies and Gents the time has come for the birth of electric flight! We won't be flying round the world in electric Boeing's, but for personal transport the light electric aircraft will provide pilots with hassle free flying, low maintenance and added safety. It's the birth of a new era in aviation
Yuneec's E430 is a twin seat, single engine, LSA class aircraft with a significant difference to every commercially available plane that has come before it – it's entirely electric. The lightweight composite-construction E430 charges in three hours from a domestic 230 volt powerpoint, runs for two and half hours on a charge and the all-up cost will be USD$89,000 when it goes on sale this time next year.
The plane made its maiden flight in the hands of test pilot Shun Xun on June 12 at the Yuneec factory near Shanghai, China, and is reportedly both very quiet and vibration-free.
The E430 is designed with simplicity as its main user benefit – low maintenance, simple to fly, and with the experience of flight significantly enhanced by the low noise and lack of vibration.
The plane was loaded into a container this afternoon for shipping to California where it will undergo FAA certification testing before its international debut at the Oshkosh EAA AirVenture 2009 next month. Specification:
Wing Span: 13.8 m (45.2 ft) Fuselage Length: 6.68 m (21.9 ft) Empty Weight: 178 kg (392 lbs) (No Battery) Maximum Takeoff Weight: 430 kg (946 lbs) Motor Output: 40 kw (54 hp) @ 2,450rpm Battery Type: Lithium Polymer Battery Weight: 72 kg (158.5 lbs) (6 Packs)
Pyramid UFO Over Russia's Red Square
The object has been compared to an Imperial Cruiser in the Star Wars films and witnesses estimated it could be up to a mile wide.
Two film clips exist which appear to show the same object and footage has been repeatedly playing on Russian television news channels.
The shots, one taken at night from a car and one during the day, were both filmed by amateurs.
The 'craft' was said to have hovered for hours over Red Square in the Russian capital.
The clips of the 'invasion' have gone to the top of the country's version of YouTube.
The identity of the shape has not been confirmed. Russian reports ruled out a UFO but police refused to comment.
Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO analyst, said it was "one of the most extraordinary UFO clips I've ever seen".
"At first I thought this was a reflection but it appears to move behind a power line, ruling out this theory."
A spokesman for aerospace journal Jane's News said: "We have no idea what it is." SOURCE

Super Earth Planet Discovered With Water
Astronomers have discovered a new Earth-like planet that is larger than our own and may be more than half covered with water, according to a study published Wednesday in the science journal Nature.The so-called "super Earth" is about 42 light years away in another solar system and has a
radius nearly 2.7 times larger than that of our planet, according to the study by the Harvard-
Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics.
The discovery of the planet, called GJ 1214b, represents a "major step forward" in the search
for worlds similar to the Earth, added the University of California's Geoffrey Marcy in a
commentary also in Nature.
The "newfound world" is too hot to sustain life as we know it, said the Harvard-Smithsonian
Centre for Astrophysics in a statement.
Its density suggests however it "is composed of about three-fourths water and other ices and
one fourth-rock," it said. "There are also tantalising hints that the planet has a gaseous
atmosphere."
Its temperature is estimated at between 280 and 120 degrees Celsius (536 and 248 degrees
Fahrenheit) with its host star about one-fifth the size of the Sun, according to the scientists.
"Despite its hot temperature, this appears to be a waterworld," says Zachory Berta, a graduate
student who first spotted hints of the planet's presence.
"It is much smaller, cooler and more Earthlike than any other known exoplanet," he said in the
statement.
An exoplanet is one outside of our solar system.
Berta said some of the water would likely be in crystalline form that exists at pressures greater
than 20,000 times Earth's sea-level atmosphere.
Its temperature is much lower than that on the only similar discovery, called CoRoT-7b, which
revolves around a star that is much hotter, the scientists say.
The CoRoT-7b has a density close to that of the Earth (5.5 grammes per cubic centimetre) and seems to be rocky, while the new discovery appears to be much less dense (1.9 g/cm3).
"To keep the planet's density that low requires that it contains large amounts of water," said Marcy. "It must contain a huge amount of water, roughly 50 percent by mass."
The "wild card" is the make-up of the gases on the planet, he said.
The planet orbits every 38 hours around a small, faint star that was first spotted by eight ground-based telescopes no larger than those used by amateur astronomers, the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre said.
Its relative closeness makes its possible to study it to determine its atmosphere.
"That will make it the first super Earth with a confirmed atmosphere -- even though that atmosphere probably won't be hospitable to life as we know it," said David Charbonneau who heads the research team.

Archeologists On 2012
So what are my own personal thoughts on 2012? Dec 21 2012 is the transitioning from one age to another into the time of awareness just like the transitional period from an astrological standpoint into the age of Aquarius, but with awareness comes great change. Most people are oblivious to the rapid changes that are happening in the world around us. People by nature are reluctant to change they like routine they like repetition it makes them feel safe and secure.My personal opinion is that the internet is a major tool in the increasing awareness that you're seeing all over the world, people aren't buying into the rubbish fed to us by the mainstream media as much, people are doing their own research and finding their own conclusions. This is why you're seeing major opposition to the agenda's played out by the powers that be.
In addition to political opposition we're finding better ways to live and better ways to fulfill our life, off grid green homes, sustainable living and home organic gardening. All of this education is leading the world into a more progressive mind set, a mind that is becoming aware and embracing small changes for the better and standing up for what's right. It's like the tortoise winning the race slowly but surely we're getting there and all of these little changes add up to make a huge difference - that's why my site is called 2012 "Changes Are Now" because it's these present changes that will one day make the difference.
If you're still confused about the doom and gloom of 2012 played out in the movies then here is an article that may put you at ease some what - we'll experience turmoil with change but I don't think that the planet will disintegrate in some massive cataclysm.
November 23, 2009 -- The movie 2012 is already out, but a Canadian archeologist says the Maya end of the world predictions that form part of the movie’s story line are claptrap.
That’s because the prediction in question doesn’t actually predict the end of the world.
Archeologist Kathryn Reese-Taylor teaches at the University of Calgary and says that the source for the end of the world predictions doesn’t contain an end-of-the-world prophecy.
The doomsday prophecy found in the 2012 movie and many other current books and websites supposedly comes from an ancient carved monument called the Tortuguero Monument Six. According to translations of the monument text, December 21, 2012 marks the completion of a 5,125-year-long cycle of the ancient Maya calendar. But Reese-Taylor says the translation of the text just says that something will occur December 21, 2012 that it will be similar to something that occurred on another date in the past.
"We don't know what that past occurrence was or what the future occurrence will be. At no point do any of the Maya texts actually prophesize the end of the world,'' Reese-Taylor says.
In fact, says Reese-Taylor, other Maya texts refer to dates beyond December 21, 2012.
However, the supposed end of world predictions have been great for the movie business, and tourism is expected to peak throughout the old Maya homeland, including eastern Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize, as December 21, 2012 approaches. SOURCE

Life After Death
Like most of us who are interested in esoteric material, you will always be surrounded by friends and family who just cant really believe in anything. This is frustrating at times and it's hard to explain something that you cant see but you know it's there.
The next hurdle you usually get is from people asking what religion should I study to find all the answers or what spiritual practice should I do, but the biggest challenge anyone faces in life in to accept and embrace that they are more than just a body. You're a spiritual being wearing a human garment having an earthly experience, one of many.
Forget religious texts , forget Sunday school and open your mind to the world of Near Death Experiences, a world full of first hand scientifically verifiable experiences with the creator and the after life. If you want front row seats to the after life then this is the arena to study. I have found more evidence and enlightening teachings from studying the NDE phenomena than any other esoteric subject - This really is the Holy Grail! If you're on an awakening path searching for more please take the time to look through this link HERE

Israel Must Decide Whether To Attack Iran
In a world that's meant to be awakening and embracing a much larger unified consciousness there are still those hell bent on war and retaliation. The world does not need another conflict right now and it certainly doesn't need a war that could contaminate the earth through an attack on a nuclear facility. On one hand I can understand why the ET's have not intervened, I mean why would they we're still so primitive but on the other hand if there ever was a time for them to assist our planet , THE TIME IS NOW. Lets hope people unify and stage mass anti war campaigns against the present and future conflicts that humanity faces , enough is enough.The moment is fast approaching when Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, may have to make the most difficult decision of his career — whether to launch a military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities and risk triggering a conflagration that could spread across the Middle East.
Israeli experts believe the point of no return may be only six months away when Iran’s nuclear programme will have — if it has not already — metastasised into a multitude of smaller, difficult-to-trace facilities in deserts and mountains, while its main reactor at Bushehr will have come online and bombing it would send a radioactive cloud over the Gulf nations.
Mr Netanyahu has consistently called Iran the most serious threat Israel faces. President Ahmadinejad of Iran has called for Israel to be obliterated and his Revolutionary Guards supply training, money and weapons to both Hezbollah in Lebanon, on Israel’s northern border, and to Hamas in the Gaza Strip, whose missiles are believed to be capable of reaching Tel Aviv.
Indian Scientists Detect Signs Of Life On The Moon
Don't you just love it NASA have been venturing into space for 40 plus years and it takes a country in it's space infancy to come out with some fairly remarkable scientific claims? Granted that technology and detecting equipment today is light years ahead of instruments used in the past, but during their first space projects Indian is leading the way and openly sharing the information with the public. NASA just remember this ultimately you're funded through tax payers money so you owe it to us to be more forthcoming with the information you discover!
Bangalore: Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) are on the brink of a path-breaking discovery. They may have found signs of life in some form or the other on the Moon.
They believe so because scientific instruments on India's first unmanned lunar mission, Chandrayaan-1, picked up signatures of organic matter on parts of the Moon's surface, Surendra Pal, associate director, Isro Satellite Centre (Isac), said at the international radar symposium here on Friday.
Organic matter consists of organic compounds, which consists of carbon -- the building block of life.
It indicates the formation of life or decay of a once-living matter.
Pal said the signatures were relayed back to the Bylalu deep space network station near Bangalore by the mass spectrometer on board the Indian payload, the moon impact probe (MIP), on November 14, 2008.
The relay of data happened moments before it crashed near the Moon's south pole. The MIP was the first experiment of the Chandrayaan-1 mission, which was launched on October 22, 2008.
Pal, however, did not elaborate, but concluded saying "the findings are being analysed and scrutinised for validation by Isro scientists and peer reviewers".
"It is too early to say anything," said the director of Isro's space physics laboratory R Sridharan, who is heading the team of MIP data analysis and study. He, however, did not deny the finding.
DNA later inquired with other senior Chandrayaan-1 mission scientists, who not only confirmed the finding, but gave further details.
"Certain atomic numbers were observed that indicated the presence of carbon components. This indicates the possibility of the presence of organic matter (on the Moon)," a senior scientist told DNA.
Interestingly, similar observations were made by the US's first manned Moon landing mission, the Apollo-11, in July 1969, which brought lunar soil samples back to Earth. But due to a lack of sophisticated equipment then, the scientists could not confirm the finding.
However, traces of amino acids, which are basic to life, were found in the soil retrieved by the Apollo-11 astronauts.
The Chandrayaan-1 scientists, at present, are analysing the source of origin of the Moon's organic matter. "It could be comets or meteorites which have deposited the matter on the Moon's surface; or the instrument that landed on the Moon could have left traces," a senior space scientist said.
"But the presence of large sheets of ice in the polar regions of the Moon, and the discovery of water molecules there, lend credence to the possibility of organic matter there," he said.

Why Switzerland Has The Lowest Crime Rate In The World
I am not much of a gun fan but this will certainly appeal to a lot of people.
When thinking about the mass extermination camps of a holocaust think..
The key to freedom is to be able to have the ability to defend yourself &, if you dont have the tools to do that, then youre going to be at the mercy of whomever wants to put you away.
Guns are deeply rooted within Swiss culture - but the gun crime rate is so low that statistics are not even kept.
The country has a population of six million, but there are estimated to be at least two million publicly-owned firearms, including about 600,000 automatic rifles and 500,000 pistols.
This is in a very large part due to Switzerland's unique system of national defence, developed over the centuries.
Instead of a standing, full-time army, the country requires every man to undergo some form of military training for a few days or weeks a year throughout most of their lives.
Between the ages of 21 and 32 men serve as frontline troops. They are given an M-57 assault rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition which they are required to keep at home.
Once discharged, men serve in the Swiss equivalent of the US National Guard, but still have to train occasionally and are given bolt rifles. Women do not have to own firearms, but are encouraged to.

FREE REMOTE VIEWING COURSE - The Farsight Institute
18 HOUR INTENSIVE COURSE TOTALLY FREE
Remote viewing is the mental ability to perceive and describe places, persons, or events at distant locations in the past, present, and future. The reality of the remote-viewing phenomenon is not in dispute among a large body of respected researchers — both inside and outside of academia — who have published an extensive collection of high-quality investigations over the past few decades. But profound mysteries remain. This volume breaks new ground by resolving some of remote-viewing's greatest enigmas. In these pages, new research and new theories explain why remote viewing works.
These investigations utilize remote-viewing methods that are derivative of those used for decades in well-documented U.S. government funded psi research sponsored by the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.) and the Defense Intelligence Agency (D.I.A.). Filled with descriptions and analyses of highly original experiments, this volume presents evidence which identifies the mental mechanism that allows an individual to perceive and describe a distant target that is not accessible to the physical processes of hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell. Controlling for the behavioral characteristics of this mechanism now allows remote viewing to be performed with greatly improved reliability. This also leads to a better understanding of "associative remote viewing," a complex process that is required in any attempt to use remote viewing to predict numerical information, including stock market fluctuations and lottery numbers.
Crucially, here is an investigation into the fascinating characteristics of time using remote viewing as a tool of exploration, offering evidence that the past, present, and future truly exist simultaneously. The idea of differing future and past time lines is not just science fiction.
This research addresses the physics of psi functioning, integrating what we already know about cosmology and quantum mechanics with what we now know about remote viewing. Ultimately, this volume explains why all these new scientific revelations fundamentally affect our understanding of spirituality. The significance of the remote-viewing phenomenon to our understanding of human existence potentially rivals the significance of any previous discoveries in the history of science. This is "paradigm busting" science, and it seems destined to fundamentally challenge our most basic assumptions of the inner workings of physical reality.

Jordan Maxwell's DVD The Dawn Of A New Day
I just finished watching Jordan Maxwell's new DVD The Dawn Of A New Day and as usual Jordan has gone to exemplary lengths to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together.
The crux of this DVD is the Illuminati's implementation of world communism through out the entire western world and especially America. Jordan points out references made from as far back as 1871 as to what the grand plan of the secret societies are.
The hidden symbolism is "The New Dawn" or the sun beaming over the horizon, is an old communist symbol used throughout the ages the depict a new form of rule that will prevail over a country or a group of people. This same symbology and quotation "Dawn of a new day" is appearing all throughout America within major corporations and religious groups, but most of all the Obama administration.
If you want to see the trump card being played around the world then I highly suggest you buy this DVD from Jordan Maxwell and support his amazing work. A must watch DVD!

Gregg Braden The Spontaneous Healing Of Belief
New York Times best selling author Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality.
Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970s energy crisis, he became a Senior Computer Systems Designer for Martin Marietta Defense Systems during the last year of the Cold War. In 1991 he was appointed the first Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems where he led the development of the global support team that assures the reliability of today’s Internet.
For more than 22 years, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix and his 2008 release, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits. Gregg’s work is now published in 17 languages and 27 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past. Wisdom Traditions.

Virgin Galactic Readies Maiden Flight
British billionaire Sir Richard Branson will unveil a craft on Monday that could soon carry tourists on an out-of-this-world trip into space - for a mere $US200,000 ($A215,680).
The lunar-like landscape of the Mojave desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas will stage the roll-out of Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo (SS2), the brain child of aerospace engineer Burt Rutan.
SS2, which can carry six passengers and two pilots, plans to begin test flights next year and start commercial flights between 2011 and 2012.
Virgin Galactic, owned by Branson's Virgin Group and Abu Dhabi's Aabar Investments, says about 300 adventurers from around the world have paid a total of $US40 million ($A43.14 million) in deposits to guarantee spots on the carbon composite wonder machine.
Aerospace experts are already bidding on suborbital flights as the next generation of business travel.
Pamela Hurley-Moser, owner of Hurley Travel Experts in Portland, Oregon, is among 50 travel consultants chosen as accredited space agents for Virgin Galactic.
The company now boasts specials to Iceland, Thailand and, yes, space.
But space tourism, for now, remains an exclusive experience reserved for those willing to pay the hefty fee for a seat on the two-and-a-half-hour flights 100 kilometres above Earth.
"Just as aviation, and before that rail and automobile transportation, first a few will go to space, but ultimately, over the next hundred years or so, spaceflight will become commonplace," said Charles Chafer, chief executive of Space Services, which specialises in space funerals.
In 2007, the Houston, Texas company released into space the ashes of "Star Trek" star James Doohan.
But Hong Kong to London in three hours?
"This is possible," Chafer said. "And the history of human transportation suggests that when it is possible to shorten travel times, markets grow to enable that activity."
Space Services spokeswoman Susan Schonfeld noted that the company now takes the ashes of hundreds of people at a time into space, up from about 27 people in 2007.
"Through the years, I have had the opportunity to speak to hundreds and hundreds of people from all over the world," she noted. "We have launched very famous people... but 99 per cent of the people are everyday people like myself that have a very deep sense of exploration I do believe is in all of us."
For Chafer, what today seems like an indulgence for adventurous millionaires will spur the construction of facilities for a solar power satellite system, asteroid exploration, mineral extraction and research of compounds cheaper to produce in microgravity.
"Transportation is an enabling tool," the aerospace executive insisted.
"Once we have routine transportation into suborbital and orbital space we will see business travel and package delivery times reduced and we will begin to see construction of large facilities in Earth orbit."
For Monday's launch, the WhiteKnightTwo mothership, which boasts a wingspan of 42.7 metres, will carry the smaller SS2 rocket ship 15.2 kilometres into the sky before it detaches and blasts up to the brink of space.
There, the tourists can experience five minutes of weightlessness in a cabin with circular windows on the sides and the ceiling.
"As humanity eventually moves to other planets and bodies throughout the solar system, we will of course fly into - and eventually live in - space," predicted Chafer. SOURCE

How Big Is Our Universe?
The Drake equation (also sometimes called the "Green Bank equation," the "Green Bank Formula" or - erroneously - the "Sagan equation") is an equation to calculate the potential number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our Milky Way galaxy. It is used in the fields of exobiology and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI).
This equation was devised by Dr. Frank Drake (now Professor Emeritus of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz) in 1960, in an attempt to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way (our galaxy) with which we might come into contact.
1961 : Drake's values give N = 10 × 0.5 × 2 × 1 × 0.01 × 0.01 × 10,000 = 10.
N is the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;
2002 : We used to think N was about 10,000. Now I think it could be a great deal larger
