NASA Failed 2nd Attempt To Put A Crew Capsule Into Lunar Orbit

A serous fuel leak has forced the launch controllers to call off their second attempt to send a crew capsule into lunar orbit with test dummies.

The first attempt earlier in the week was also marred by escaping hydrogen, but those leaks were elsewhere on the 322-foot (98 metres) rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA.

There was no immediate word on when NASA might try again. After Tuesday, a two-week launch blackout period kicks in.

Extensive fuel leak repairs could require that the rocket be hauled off the pad and back into its hangar, possibly pushing the flight into October.

Launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson and her team tried to plug Saturday’s leak the way they did the last time: stopping and restarting the flow of super-cold liquid hydrogen in hopes of removing the gap around a seal in the supply line. They tried that twice and also flushed helium through the line, but the leak persisted. So, she called it off for the day.

There were other issues with this rocket in the past:

1) NASA delays moon rocket liftoff after engine trouble.

2) NASA’s new moon rocket reaches launch pad for flight around moon, first fuel leak discovered.

3) Now the new moon rocket has to go back into the cold storage to get it redesigned, probably.

Question is:

Why are they reinventing the wheel? Why can't they just use the previous Apollo series? Unless, of course, those Apollo series were just for entertainment purposes? They were a hoax?


In the mean time, the Russians have already launched the Iranian satellite into space from the Kazakhstan base.

And the Chinese have already sent its 3rd rocket into the lunar orbit.

Continued Strikes By Israeli Armed Forces On Syria

Moscow denounced as inadmissible the continued Israeli strikes on Syria that may lead to a large-scale military escalation, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a comment on Friday.

"We consider similar irresponsible moves by Israel to be absolutely inadmissible. We resolutely condemn them," Zakharova emphasized.

According to the Russian diplomat, the Israeli strikes are in gross violation of Syrian sovereignty and the basic norms of international law.

"We believe that such a vicious practice in no way contributes to reducing security risks for Israel itself. On the contrary, destabilizing acts of force may provoke retaliatory moves and lead to a large-scale military escalation. We urge Israel to stop its armed military provocations against neighboring Syria and refrain from any moves that put the entire region at risk of dangerous consequences," Zakharova emphasized.

On August 31, the Israeli air force conducted a missile strike at the international airport near the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Later that day, Syrian air defences repelled an Israeli attack in the skies above Damascus, by downing several missiles. Material damage was reported as a result of the strikes, with at least five casualties.

Major General Oleg Yegorov, deputy head of the Russian Reconciliation Center in Syria, specified at a briefing on Thursday that Israeli combat jets had delivered strikes on facilities at the Syrian airfields of Neyrab (Aleppo) and Duvali (Damascus), which left five people injured and the antenna post of a Syrian S-125 missile system and two storage facilities for military-technical equipment damaged.

The Nazis are coming...Neo white colonialism in Asean and Pacific region

 First came the Americans unannounced and uninvited, with their first Coast Guard patrol boat to the Solomon Islands. They claimed to have come to have patrol the seas for illegal fishing and other activities. What the hell would the Americans send a Coast Guard patrol boat 10,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean to the Solomon Seas? 

This is nothing different from the so called 'freedom of navigation' in the South China Sea. The intent and purpose is obvious. They are here to take over the seas around the Pacific Islands.  The Solomon Islands saw through the ruse, and refused to give permission for the American Coast Guard patrol boat to enter its harbour. The Solomon Islands and the surrounding seas belong to the Solomon natives. They have nothing to do with the Americans. The American Coast Guard patrol boat, ie American marine police, should be guarding their own shores, not in far away Solomon Islands. They have no business to be here.

First one solitary Coast Guard patrol boat not to raise any alarm. If this gets through, many more Coast Guard patrol boats would be here and take over the policing of the Solomon Seas as part of the American Empire.

The Americans are not alone. The British also sent a Coast Guard patrol boat as well, more than 10,000 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. What for? What business have the British in the region? This is looking like a collusion among the Anglo Saxon tribe to recolonise the Pacific Islands, with Australia on standby.

And to all horrors, the Nazis are also coming. Nazi Germany has announced that they would also send their warship to the Pacific Islands. These expansionist white savages are trying to relive their colonial days, to colonise the world again, starting with the Pacific Islands.

Oh, the Americans have given early warning to this move. They had earlier offered Asean $150m to conduct patrol duties in the South China Sea with the blessing of the American Empire. And of course the American Empire would also send in their Coast Guard patrol boats to help protect the American Empire. Once Asean is not careful, a whole fleet of American Coast Guard patrol boats would be patrolling the waters of Asean, turning Asean into an American protectorate, or new colonies of the American Empire.

Asean and the Pacific Islands must be on the highest alert to avert being recolonised by the white men, this time with the Nazis as members of the international gangsters. Everyone knows what the Nazis did in WW2 and their white supremacist agenda. The Jews were the first to be terminated, and the rest of the coloured people would follow suit. Asean and the Pacific Islands happened to have many coloured people to the likings of the Nazis and the Anglo Saxons.

Beware, beware!

USA's Self-Interests & Selfish Behaviours

The aggressive behaviour of the Evil USA has again stimulated the awakening of South Korea, especially among conservatives.

In the past, the South Koreans thought too highly of the Evil USA.

The Korea Joong Ang Daily commentary asked, "Does that mean the allies can share values but not interests?" It also lamented, "Values give way to national interests."

This may be the "new understanding" among some in South Korean public opinion sphere, but it is actually just the way the Evil USA is.

No matter what beautiful words it uses, the so-called values are just rhetoric used by the Evil USA to fool its allies to maintain hegemony.

For the Evil USA, "shared values" has always meant the unconditional obedience of allies to the interests of the Evil USA, rather than bargaining chips that allies can use to deal with the Evil USA.

Washington has firmly put the right to interpret "values" in its own hands. Only those who follow it have "shared values" with it, while those who go against the Evil USA don't.

As the South Korean media concluded, behind Washington's smiles is the "America First" policy that has become "more cunning and more vicious."

History has also repeatedly shown that the Evil USA has a quite strong desire for preserving its interests. From a certain sense, the rhetoric of values is designed specially to serve Washington's interests.

South Korea is not the first country that has raised doubts about Washington's hypocritical face and true purpose of its so-called Into-Pacific Strategy, nor will it be the last one.

The Evil USA wants to use other countries as "cannon fodder" in maintaining hegemony, but it will never realize this sickening ambition.

A chain of interests in which various countries will oppose the Evil USA's bullying will become clearer and clearer.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger once said that "it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal." The dispute has just proved it.

The declining American Empire is dragging Europe to die together

The USA is really, hysterically, desperate now, indicated by what they have been doing recently. They keep provocating China after making a catastrophic mistake in Ukraine of forcing Russia to step into Donetsk and Luhansk to liberate the region from Ukrainian genocide attempt against Russian speaking residents. That they failed to take down Russia economically is telling, with the Ruble not turning into rubble and the Russian economy withstanding all the sanctions is even more telling.

All the provocation in East Asia now is to distract the failure in bringing down Russia, economically and militarily. Spin all they want about Russia's coming collapse, or Putin's health issues. Russia has made no attempt to discredit them, just letting the reality speak for itself.

The USA now cannot extricate itself from the quamire they started themsleves in Ukraine, thinking that Putin would keep tolerating their advances, using NATO to move closer and closer to Russia's borders. Instead of containing Russia, Ukraine is instead losing territory to Russia with more to come. They are now pivoting their attention towards China, all to cloud their abject failure in Europe.

Russia just announced cutting off all gas supplies via Nord Steam 1, and will not be resuming gas turn on even after maintenace on Nord Steam 1 are completed. Europe is going to face a catastrophy this coming winter. Germany will face a revolution shortly. But never mind, just spin and spin and citizens will feel dizzy and forget the pain.

The USA and the West are now claiming Russia is weaponising energy and blackmailing Europe. Have they looked at themselves in the mirror yet? What about the sanctions against Russia, said to be about eight thousand of them the last I heard. That is not weaponising the US$ hegemony and blackmailing? What is it? The USA and the West are in fact sanctioning all the irrelevant things, even dogs and trees. What a joke!

The biggest joke is that the sanctions are hurting Europe most of all and the stupid Europeans are just swallowing the pain with little to gain. Had Nato, under USA command, not been expanding it's reach towards the Russian border and using Ukraine to commit genocide in Eastern Ukraine, all this would not have happened and they would still be having cheap oil and gas.

Europe is going to pay a heavy price, not just this winter, but for a long time forward. Sure, getting rid of Russian energy is easy as they made it out to be, but paying for alternative energy from other sources is not going to be cheap and easy. And they are talking about capping Russian oil prices? Who the hell do they think they are dictating terms to Russia right now.
