Only in the light of our modern technology and social sophistication can we understand that there is a heretofore unrecognized core theme in the Bible : the record of a series of visitations by alien beings in ancient times. They were on a specific mission you must be told about. This much is clear, they used bio-engineered humans as slave labor . And the story doesn't end there.

Adventures In Science And Technology - Roberta Bondar, Astronaut of Western Ontario, and specific training in neuroophthalmology in Boston andin Toronto. She was one of the six original Canadian astronauts selected in http://collections.ic.gc.ca/science/english/bio/bondar.html
Extractions: Roberta Bondar made Canada very proud when, in January of 1992, she became the first Canadian woman to go into space. But for Roberta Bondar, the dream of going to space began when she was only a child in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario looking up at the sky. She always found space fascinating, and she believes this fascination led her towards a career as an astronaut. The formal education that eventually took her into space began in high school with her science and mathematics courses. After high school, Roberta Bondar went to the University of Guelph for a degree in zoology and biology. She graduated from the University of Guelph in 1968 and chose to continue her education at the University of Western Ontario for a Master's Degree. Next, she took her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto. After these six years of studying, Roberta Bondar went to medical school at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. There she became a doctor and her specialty was neurology, the study of the brain. As well as all of her training in science, Roberta Bondar is also a pilot. In fact, she could pilot an airplane before she could even drive a car. Roberta Bondar had a specific interest in neurology, which was neuro-ophthalmology. This is the study of how the eye works, and how the eyes work with the brain to produce vision. After her internship at Toronto General Hospital, she took more training in neurology at the University of Western Ontario, and specific training in neuro-ophthalmology in Boston and in Toronto.

May 24 (Interfax) Although the crew of the seventh mission to the International Space Station is working in a reduced capacity, they are conducting a lot of research, the ground control center in Korolyov told Interfax. "Of course, the cosmonauts [astronauts] are focusing on maintaining the station in working condition and servicing its technical systems. But they have managed to carry out an extensive program of scientific research," a center representative said. "In orbit, some of the experiments proceed automatically, but a large number of them require the cosmonauts' aid," he said. The Sprut test was staged last week. Changes in the liquid substances of the human body during a long space flight were studied, he said. During the Biorisk experiment, the impact of outer space on microorganisms was studied. Moreover, the Plant experiment is ongoing. "The cosmonauts study the growth and development of higher plant organisms during space flight to expand fundamental biology," he said. The Earth is monitored daily. Data on configurations of the bio- productive areas in the world's oceans was collected during the Diatomeya experiment last week.

Extractions: Alan Bean was selected as an astronaut for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1963. During his 18-year NASA career, he achieved a number of accomplishments, including being the Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 12 mission and commander of the Skylab Mission II. In 1963, Alan was selected as a NASA astronaut. He became the Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 12 mission, and the fourth man to set foot on the moon. In 1973, he again flew in space as spacecraft commander of the Skylab Mission II. This mission lasted fifty-nine days and traveled 24,400,000 miles. His crew accomplished 150 percent of their pre-mission goals, a record unequaled even today. Alan was then selected as backup spacecraft commander for the joint American-Russian Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. Alan was assigned as Chief of Operations and Training and Acting Chief Astronaut until the first flight of the space shuttle. Throughout Alan's career as an astronaut when he was not in specific mission training, Alan studied art at nights and on the weekends. In 1981, he resigned as a NASA astronaut to devote full time to painting and speaking. Today, Alan is an accomplished artist creating paintings that artistically record for future generations humankind's first exploration of another world.

Extractions: Many classrooms across the United States are using NASA as a cornerstone for learning. In other words, teachers are using aerospace as a vehicle to provide authentic learning activities for students. The following is an article from Space Times *; it describes a classroom in Missouri where students role-play astronauts in a mock space shuttle mission. Click here to see a short movie of the actual simulation. Student Astronauts Blast Off in the Midwest: An Example of an Authentic Learning Environment By Molly Nicaise CASA is a multidisciplinary learning environment designed to provide an authentic stage for students of various levels and disciplines to learn and demonstrate knowledge and skills in aerospace science, English, mathematics, and technology. Students develop knowledge and skills by using instructional manuals and activities astronauts and physicists use at NASA. As student background knowledge increases, they implement fledgling knowledge and skill in context of genuine activity: in the principles of engineering course, students implement background knowledge on electrical mechanics by physically building an "orbiter." Students in aerospace courses use the orbiter to learn Newtonian laws, coordinate systems, and how to network computers for data management (telemetry). The year-long curriculum culminates in the spring when students hold a six-day, mock shuttle mission where they implement skills and knowledge acquired throughout the year. The purpose for the mission varies from year to year. The previous mission was three-fold: to educate and inform students and the public about living and working in space; to perform on-board experiments; and to successfully launch a probe to Mars and fix a dysfunctional satellite.

Extractions: Previous entry: "COWBOY PETE'S TOTALLY CURRENT TV ROUND-UP: SMALLVILLE, ANGEL, WEST WING" Main Index Next entry: "EMMA UPDATE" 02/26/2004 Entry: "ASTRONAUTS" Definitely astronauts. Particularly if you're talking about the airforce trained "Right stuff" guys from the 60s. They've got the reach, they've got the intelligence. And if you're incorporating Captain Kirk, he's got that snappy thing where he jumps at you with both feet and knocks both his opponent and himself down. So I agree with Angel, astronauts definitely beat cavemen. Kathleen and I are still mulling over whether the Village People could beat up Metallica, however. PAD Replies: 49 comments Posted by Emily @ 02/26/2004 11:22 PM ET And yet, I feel that there's a lot to be said for those cavemen. They've got that whole, primal hunter mindset already in place, used to taking on the big foes. Excepting those pesky Starfleet captains, most astronauts don't really learn the fighting skills so much as the astrophysics...

Extractions: info@bio.org Biotechnology information, advocacy and business support Other Uses Printer Friendly DNA Fingerprinting DNA fingerprinting, which is also known as DNA typing, is a DNA-based identification system that relies on genetic differences among individuals or organisms. Every living thing (except identical twins, triplets, and so on) is genetically unique. DNA typing techniques focus on the smallest possible genetic differences that can occur: differences in the sequence of the four building blocks of DNA. These building block molecules, or nucleotides, are commonly designated A, T, C and G. Some uses of DNA typing compare the nucleotide sequence of two individuals to see how similar they are. At other times, the scientist is interested in assessing sequence similarity between a DNA sample and the known sequence of a reference sample. DNA typing has become one of the most powerful and widely known applications of biotechnology today. It is used for any task where minute differences in DNA matter, such as determining the compatibility of tissue types in organ transplants, detecting the presence of a specific microorganism, tracking desirable genes in plant breeding, establishing paternity, identifying individual remains, and directing captive breeding programs in zoos. DNA Typing Techniques Scientists have developed two main techniques to look directly at minute differences in genes. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages, and both are used in basic and applied research, by clinicians, public health officials, forensic scientists and commercial labs. The technique of choice depends upon the question being asked, amount of DNA available, capability to minimize contamination, cost and urgency. Sometimes both techniques are used in combination.

Extractions: I applied to be an astronaut through the military in 1993, 1995, and 1997. In 1998, I separated from the Active Duty military to the Reserves, and I applied in 1999 as a civilian. On January 27 th , I received a phone call from Teresa Gomez, of the NASA astronaut selection office , inviting me down for an interview the week of February 5 th through February 11 th . I accepted! At 11am on Sunday the formal activities started, which started with a welcome brief, distribution of schedules, and other adminitrivia. Risk assessment was interesting. Fighting in military combat gives 1:20000. Flying in space gives 1:300. Being an astronaut disqualifies you from most private life insurance. New civilian astronauts earn GS-11,12 or 13 wages. Check this payscale if you think you'll get rich.

President Bush may announce this project, called Project Prometheus, at the State of the Union address." Here's good background and context ; for technical background, I recommend Zubrin or Stern . The JPL will be involved in developing the nuclear propulsion tech, intended to cut the interplanetary trip from six months to two. Apparently the theory is that this proposal won't get shot down like the last Mars proposal because the shorter mission will save money. Here's hoping public response has progressed beyond "oh no! did he say nuclear?!
