Polling the Physicists: What the Big Mysteries Survey Shows, and What It Does Not
4 August 2026 at 14:30
The nature of the surveys to which Phil Halper appeals is that they measure what physicists believe. They cannot measure what the evidence actually supports.

The Rolling Stones: Lyrics from “Foreign Tongues” (2026) “Mr Charm” When I was oh-so-young, I used to want to go to Mars And burn the rubber on the road And drive around in fancy cars When who would take you into space? Who would you really trust? Is it Boeing, is it […]Moon Impact of Rocket Stage Observed
5 August 2026 at 17:39
Scientists at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona report they detected a plume from the impact August 5 from that errant SpaceX rocket stage. “We can safely say that we measured a response from the rocket stage impact as a sodium and lithium gas plume a few 10’s of kilometers in size lasting between 5 […]The Tale of Toxic Mars – A Dusty Hazard for Astronauts?
5 August 2026 at 15:28
Planting boots on Mars is hard enough. But getting “breathing room” on the Red Planet without inhaling toxic dust is yet another issue. Given the outlook that future human crews will strut their right stuff across the Red Planet, NASA assembled earlier this year a Martian Dust Limit Working Group. Their task was to review […]Rocket Stage Impact on the Moon: Update
4 August 2026 at 16:35
The Moon is in the cross-hairs of a SpaceX rocket stage, slamming into our celestial neighbor on August 5 at roughly 2:35:37.5 AM (US) Eastern Daylight Time reports astronomer, Bill Gray of Project Pluto. That high-speed impact “may produce potential observables,” according to research led by Benjamin Fernando at Los Alamos National Laboratory. — The […]- Leonard David's INSIDE OUTER SPACE

Meet the Neighbors – Life on Mars and How to Find It by Steven A. Benner; Allen Lane, (an imprint of Penguin Books); July 2026; 416 pages (Hardcover); $40.99 (Amazon). Talk about a “cold case” – nothing like dealing with life on Mars where the temperature can drop like a rock to roughly – 89°C at […]Water Ice on Moon: Looking for Good Vibrations
1 August 2026 at 18:58
What’s shaking about water ice deposits on the Moon? Turns out that assessing how seismic waves propagate on the Moon could be used to locate and map ice buried beneath the lunar surface. A new study by geologists at the University of Maryland (UMD), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of Hawaii shows that […]Moon Machinery Partnership for Lunar Base Work
31 July 2026 at 16:25
Dig this! An expansion of a partnership is expected to help establish a Moon Base by delivering autonomous mobility and heavy-duty excavation tools for a permanent settlement on the lunar surface. Interlune, a Seattle-based group, and the Vermeer Corporation of Pella, Iowa, have detailed the plan for development and delivery of subscale prototypes of lunar […]Moon Impact of Rocket Stage – A Visible Hit or Miss Affair?
30 July 2026 at 14:07
Next week, Earth’s moon is due for a human-made, high-speed thumping of an identified flying object – a spent SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage. The event is a literal “dust up” on the lunar landscape. That Falcon 9 upper stage is a leftover from the launch that sent Firefly’s Blue Ghost-1 lander to the moon […]- Leonard David's INSIDE OUTER SPACE

It came from outer space, exploding high above the South Atlantic off the coast of Argentina. That incoming meteor — also termed as a bolide — was observed by a pair of civilian lightning imagers aboard geostationary weather satellites, thereby supplementing the use of space-based military surveillance satellites. The April 1 event was viewed by […]
