# TERRAFORMING MARS. A few billion years ago, Mars may not have been all
that much different from Earth. But something went awry, leaving Earth to
live and its sister planet to die. Now, as part of NASA's latest initiative
to explore, explain and exploit space, scientists are beginning to discuss
the tools and techniques for bringing Mars back to life. See:
http://www.discovery.com/stories/unofficialspace/space.html
: Will a terraformed Mars look like Los Angeles? Where will the ghettos go?

# ASTROBIOLOGY INSTITUTE TACKLES BASIC QUESTIONS OF LIFE. When the Surveyor
3 spacecraft landed on Luna it carried a creature from Earth - Streptococcus
mitis. Apollo 12 astronauts brought back a piece of Surveyor, also bearing
Strep. The bacteria had been freeze-dried in space, but were quickly revived
once back on Earth. So bacteria, the earliest and most common form of life
on Earth, were also the first life form to travel to the moon. Now, over 3
decades after Strep went lunar, NASA is establishing the Astrobiology Inst-
itute, a joint effort of 11 laboratories to study life in a unique way. By
pulling together researchers from biology, chemistry, genetics, geology,
planetary science, astronomy and other scientific fields, the institute
plans to apply "hard science" to such philosophical questions as: Where did
we come from? Are we alone in the universe? Can we migrate to and transform
other planets? http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news341.html
: What's your favorite definition of life? [Mine: Anything that reproduces
within its environment is alive. This includes bio- and cyber-virus, etc.]
Having defined life, how can you manipulate it, and at what range, and why?

# FOR AT LEAST HALF A CENTURY, THE US INTERCEPTED/DECRYPTED THE TOP SECRET
DOCUMENTS OF MOST OF THE WORLD'S GOVERNMENTS ** It may be the greatest int-
elligence scam of the century: For decades, the US routinely read the top
secrets of 120 countries. These nations had bought the world's most sophis-
ticated and supposedly secure commercial encryption technology from Crypto
AG, a Swiss company that staked its reputation and the security concerns
of its clients on its neutrality. www.caq.com/CAQ/caq63/caq63madsen.html
: If this is true, why isn't the whole world a client of the US? Or is it?
Does this benefit corporations, int'l bankers, Reptilioids, Brit royalty?

# Russian Scientists Create Revolutionary Low Observability Technologies.
(ITAR-TASS) Researchers have developed new technologies allowing dramatic
decrease in aircrafts' radar observability. The Russian approach to low
observability (LO) technologies is completely different from US Stealth
and offers complete furtiveness of the protected object at a significantly
lower price. http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news332.html
: If you ran Russia, what would you do with invisibility? Has the US already
stolen this technology? Was it adapted from Roswell or similar objects?

# Russians unfurl Giant Space Mirror, Fry 53 Albanians. While the rest of
the world's news media swallowed the Russian Bear's "whopper" hook, line and
sinker, the EGG Report dares to release the photo shown here of the
after-math of the so-called "failed experiment" in solar heating. Shown here
in shocking detail are the burned bodies of four of the 53 Albanian citizens
who were instantly fried to death when the Mir crew unfurled the 87 foot
wide "space mirror" and targeted the sleeping village of Novibokstanja,
Albania. http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Congress/8699/egg2799.html
: Who do you want to fry with a space mirror? Isn't it 'broil', not 'fry'?

# U.S.-Russian Team May Have Created Ultra-Heavy Element. Collaborating US
and Russian nuclear physicists may have created a new ultra-heavy element
that may open the door to a host of new elements once considered impossible.
If confirmed, the achievement would mark the realization of efforts over a
half century to reach a major goal of nuclear physics: to create an element
far heavier than any in nature that would survive for long enough to permit
scientific study. http://www.anomalous-images.com/news/news334.html
: What would you do with an ultra-heavy element? Will it unbalance reality?
Will it lead to antigravity, telepathy, immortality, free power, halitosis?
