If we could just figure out a better way to travel to orbit without these silly rocket boosters, we would be well on our way to exploring more of the solar system and other solar systems. There has got to be a cheap and safe way to cheat gravity. Sometimes I think I know how to do it, but I just can't remember.

The stimulants, in general, have the effect of increasing wakefulness and alertness at the expense of creating tremulousness, feelings of anxiety and overactivity. Caffein, benzedrine, and dexedrine fall into this category. There are a number of derivatives of benzedrine which have essentially the same action. "Aktedron," a synthetic benzedrine derivative, has been used in Czechoslovakia and Southeast Europe. Coffee and Benzedrine derivatives are sometimes administered to tired or sleepy prisoners in order to wake them up enough so that the interrogation can be carried on. They have been used in this manner in Eastern Europe, in Russia, and in China. In and of themselves they have no important effect in producing confessions. Used in combination with a system of psychological and physiological pressures they will in many cases accelerate and exacerbate the profound fatigue, confusion, loss of critical judgment, and breakdown of resistance which is a consequence of the full course of control techniques.

Ah, I remember now, it was after Bush was talking about how he thought the oceans would protect us. I thought out loud that he should have been with me in 1985 off the coast of Texas. And then that reminded me of something I read about Bush filling the role of a Soviet bomber during a training exercise with his fighter squadron. Doesn't make sense.
Anyway, I was thinking about how we had our names on our uniforms. We were close enough to them that they could probably read our names with telephoto lenses. I wonder if they would use that information to try to recruit spies, similar to the Walker spy ring that was going on back then.

John Walker's Son Says He Became Spy Because of Close Parental Ties
April 08, 1987 From Times Wire Services
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — The son of convicted spy John A. Walker Jr. said Tuesday that the main reason he became a spy was his close relationship with his father.
"He was a sailor. I was a sailor. He was a private investigator and so was I," said Michael Lance Walker, 24.
"And the bottom line was I turned out to be a spy just like him," Walker said in an interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club." Walker was interviewed in the Federal Correctional Institution in Petersburg, where he is serving a 25-year term.
Serving on Carrier
Walker was a seaman aboard the aircraft carrier Nimitz when his father was arrested for espionage on May 19, 1985. The younger Walker was arrested a few days later and charged with supplying classified documents from the ship to his father for delivery to the Soviet Union.
Both Walkers pleaded guilty, and the elder Walker is serving a life term at another federal prison. Arthur J. Walker, John Walker's brother, and Jerry A. Whitworth, John Walker's Navy friend, also were convicted of espionage and given lengthy prison terms.
Michael Walker said his father reassured him about spying and said the Soviet Union already knew some of the secrets they were selling.

THE DAILY BEAST
ARTICLE 05.02.10 4:02 PM ET
Behind Laura Bush's Car Crash
The former first lady's memoir is hitting bookstores. Ann Louise Bardach talked to her old neighbors about 17-year-old Laura’s grief-stricken seclusion and the breach with the family who lost a son.
Throughout the eight years of her husband’s presidency, the subject of Laura Bush’s role in a deadly car crash when she was a 17-year-old high school senior was considered off limits to the press. With an assist from friendly Texas officials, George W. Bush’s staff prayed the details of her deadly crash would never emerge. For many years, the Midland city attorney and police department blocked the release of the police report of the accident, until lawyers for the tabloid The Globe successfully appealed to the state's attorney general. At the same time, the Bush family cautioned friends and former neighbors to be circumspect in their comments. During the 2000 election run-up, when I reached Billie Ruppe, who lived across from Laura’s family, the Welches, on Humble Ave. in Midland for 25 years, she said quickly, “I’m not going to give you any information till I talk to Laura. I would need to get permission from her.”
"She was a nice girl, she was always very friendly to me as a younger boy on the block." But he also never forgot her wild driving—what he described as her "two-wheeling."
But in her new memoir, Spoken From the Heart, Laura Bush finally discusses the matter (though she acknowledged its impact on her in Ann Gerhart’s biography, The Perfect Wife). “In those awful seconds, the car door must have been flung open by the impact and my body rose in the air until gravity took over and I was pulled, hard and fast, back to earth,” she writes in her new book. The whole time, “I was praying that the person in the other car was alive. In my mind, I was calling ‘Please, God. Please, God. Please, God,’ over and over and over again.”
I interviewed several neighbors and friends of the former Laura Welch between 2000 and 2004 and all described the accident as shattering for young Laura, the family of the victim—indeed, the entire town of Midland. What emerges from the neighborhood is a story brimming with the pathos of a Dreiser novel—one that paints a very different portrait of Laura Welch Bush than the one created by White House strategists.
When asked in 1977 by her husband's grandmother, Dorothy Bush, "What do you do?" Laura answered tartly, "I read and I smoke." And the former First Lady reportedly still enjoys smoking (Winstons) and drinking (margaritas)—though no one has suggested she has a problem. Still, her smoking and margaritas were airbrushed out of the official version of her First Ladyhood—as were her teen years as a vivacious only child from a loving but hard-partying family whose life was irrevocably altered by a carefree, careless moment.
Driving her father’s brand new Chevy Impala on November 6, 1963, Laura Welch ran a stop sign on Farm Road 868 at 8:08 p.m. at 50 m.p.h., plowing into a Corvair sedan driven by Michael Dutton Douglas, the high school’s track and football star, and according to some, a former beau of hers. The impact of the collision hurled Douglas’ car some 50 feet off the road, instantly killing him. Laura and her passenger, schoolmate Judy Dykes, were both treated at the local hospital for their own bruises. It was there she learned that Douglas had died of a broken neck.

Mars mission: Curiosity appears to have landed safely
August 05, 2012 By Scott Gold
Curiosity, the largest and most advanced spacecraft ever sent to another planet, appears to have landed on Mars to begin its pioneering, two-year hunt for the building blocks of life — signs that Earth’s creatures may not be alone in the universe.
The craft was scheduled to land at 10:31 p.m. Pacific time in an ancient geological feature known as Gale Crater.
The landing site was 154 million miles from home, enough distance that the spacecraft's elaborate landing sequence had to be automated. The Earth also "set" below the Mars horizon shortly before landing, making even delayed direct communication with mission control impossible — and confirmation of Curiosity’s fate tricky.
PHOTOS: Preparing for Martian landing
Engineers were waiting for a passing satellite, Odyssey, to relay a series of three messages from Curiosity. One would indicate the robot’s rough position and how hard it had landed; another would indicate that it was no longer moving; and a third would indicate that the spacecraft was emitting a continuous stream of communication.
If Curiosity’s success is confirmed, it would be a moment of triumph for NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge, which is managing the $2.5-billion mission.
Shortly after 10:31 p.m., engineers inside mission control appeared to indicate that they were receiving at least some of those messages, indicating that Curiosity had survived its elaborate landing sequence.
INTERACTIVE: Curiosity, from liftoff to landing
Curiosity is expected to revolutionize the understanding of Mars, gathering evidence that Mars is or was capable of fostering life, probably in microbial form.
The spacecraft is also expected to pave the way for important leaps in deep-space exploration, including bringing Martian rock or soil back to Earth for detailed analysis and, eventually, human exploration.
President Obama has established a goal of sending astronauts to Mars in the 2030's, and John Grunsfeld, NASA’s associate administrator, said on Sunday that humans might one day live there too.
"Curiosity has captured the imagination of the world," Grunsfeld said before the landing. "We’re about to do something that I think is just huge for humankind."

NASA hopes Curiosity landing site is a Grand Canyon of Mars
Gale Crater and its remarkable mountain weren't the first choice, but scientists now are excited about the geologic record they could reveal.
August 05, 2012 By Scott Gold, Los Angeles Times
In the spring of 1869, a geology professor who had lost an arm to a musket ball at the Battle of Shiloh led a tortuous journey down a canyon that had been etched into stone, a mile deep, by the unremitting force of the Colorado River.
There, in what would become known as the Grand Canyon, John Wesley Powell found a diary of the Earth's adolescence — layer upon layer of varied, exposed rock spanning 2 billion years. If there were a Bible of geology, Powell wrote, this would be the Book of Revelation.
On Sunday, 143 years later, scientists will attempt to retrace that journey — on Mars.
PHOTOS: History of Mars exploration
The NASA robot dubbed Curiosity is scheduled to land Sunday night at the foot of a mountain that scientists believe contains a similar record of Mars' past. In the next two years, Curiosity is to painstakingly climb the mountain's foothills — probing layers of exposed rock and then sending home what scientists hope will be the most compelling evidence yet that we are not alone in the universe.
"Are we really a 1-in-a-gazillion accident?" asked Matthew P. Golombek, a senior research scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge. "That's almost a theological question. And we need to run it down."
Curiosity, the largest and most advanced machine ever sent to another planet, is expected to land in a feature known as Gale Crater. About the size of Riverside County, the crater was formed more than 3 billion years ago when a meteor slammed into Mars just south of its equator.
PHOTOS: Preparing for Martian landing
That was pretty typical. Mars has been pummeled by meteors over the years, including more than 40,000 that created impact craters at least three miles wide. What was unusual, and what raised the eyebrows of scientists selecting a landing site, was Mt. Sharp, a massive mountain at the center of Gale Crater.
Named in honor of the late Robert Phillip Sharp, a groundbreaking Caltech geologist who had served as a mentor to some of the JPL scientists who are managing the mission for NASA, Mt. Sharp rises three miles from the floor of the crater.
Most craters have a mound of some sort in the middle, caused by the same physical principles captured in ultra-slow-motion photographs, when a droplet of milk pops back up after a larger drop falls through the surface.
GRAPHIC: Curiosity, from liftoff to landing
But this was no mound. Inside Gale Crater was a full-fledged mountain, taller than any in the Lower 48 states, so high that its peak rose above some portions of the rim of the surrounding crater. It was "too big for normal," said Ashwin R. Vasavada, a deputy project scientist at JPL who is helping oversee the Mars mission.
Despite the intrigue, in the years leading up to the Mars mission, Gale Crater was not the first choice of the scientific community. Its selection required a little help from its friends — namely, the 11th-hour delivery of a surprising batch of data from a satellite passing overhead.
The choice of a landing site was arguably the second-most important decision of the mission, after the decision to send the robot to Mars in the first place. "What you study with a landed mission sets the tone for where our science on Mars goes from here," said Golombek, who oversaw the selection of Curiosity's landing site. "It's critical."
Five years ago, JPL began soliciting the input of scores of Mars-watchers, who made impassioned arguments at a series of workshops for what might be learned at their favored landing site.
The idea was to start with a list of potential sites, and then at the workshops cull them to a few that were relatively safe and offered the most scientific bang for the mission's $2.5-billion buck. But there was so much input and enthusiasm that the list of candidate sites grew after the workshops began. Fifteen more were added, bringing the total to 60.
Eventually, the list had to shrink. Engineers forced the elimination of numerous sites when they decided that Curiosity would need to land closer to the equator than they initially hoped. Mars, despite its immense scientific allure, presents a notoriously difficult thermal environment for space exploration, with temperature swings of more than 100 degrees routine in a single day. Temperatures are more consistent at Mars' equator than at its poles — and some of the proposed sites had to be eliminated because they were too far from the equator.
As the list began to get reduced, Gale Crater was still hanging around. But, in the eyes of many scientists, it was not the front-runner. That honor would have probably gone to another crater, a site known as Eberswalde.
There, scientists had discovered the hardened, dry remnants of what appeared to be an ancient delta — a "fan" where a powerful river splashed into a standing body of water, similar to the muddy wash where the Mississippi empties into the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans.

August 05, 2012 By Scott Gold, Los Angeles Times
"There was a river, and there was a lake. That's pretty awesome," Vasavada said.
It was firm proof, scientists believed, that water once flowed on Mars — a critical notion, because every environment that contains water, at least on Earth, sustains microbial life.
But scientists already knew that water once existed on the surface of Mars. Older missions had offered plenty of suggestions, and the twin rovers NASA sent to Mars in 2003, Spirit and Opportunity, had proved it in spectacular and definitive fashion.
The new rover's mission was more complex: a search for all of the basic ingredients of life, particularly carbon-carrying organic molecules.
What's more, there were percolating questions about what the delta might prove. There was a risk that the delta was not a record of Mars' history, but a "one-trick pony," Vasavada said, an aberration forged in a relatively short period of time, at least by geologic standards.
As discussions continued, NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which launched in 2005, was quietly circling the planet. The MRO, as it is known in space science parlance, was designed to pave the way for landed missions on Mars by mapping the planet's surface and conducting a higher-fidelity investigation of Mars' weather and environment than had ever been accomplished.
Starting a couple of years ago, the MRO began sending home a data dump about the landing site finalists. The data made it clear that all of the finalists contained vast scientific possibilities, but none more than Gale Crater and its mountain.
The MRO was equipped with lasers that could peer into the planet's surface and detect the presence of minerals.
The mountain, it turned out, was once not a mountain at all. It was part of a giant, layered plateau, which was then eroded — perhaps by wind, perhaps by water — into a cone.
On its slopes, the MRO found distinct layers of rock, like those John Wesley Powell found in the Grand Canyon.
The lowest tier of the mountain was built of clay, a remnant of what appear to have been Mars' water years, topped with a layer of mineral-rich sulfates created when the water disappeared, topped with layers of sand and dust.
Here could be a record of Mars' environmental history — of two planetary-scale geologic phenomena, the first when water appears to have covered Mars with sediment, the second when Mars dried up and the sediment was stripped away. Last summer, NASA made it official: Curiosity would land in Gale Crater and, from there, would head for the mountain.
"Gale was a racehorse that was in the back of the pack and then jumped ahead," Vasavada said. "You want to look at piles of stuff — that's where history is recorded. The rocks at the bottom are old. The rocks above are younger. And some amount of time is recorded for us in between. We think Gale has many stories to tell. We're going to ask it what happened."

NASA satellite photo shows Mars rover, parachute out, on descent
August 06, 2012 By Jon Bardin This post has been corrected. See note at the bottom for details.
About six minutes in to the rover’s seven minutes of terror -- the time it took for Curiosity to reach the surface of Mars from the edge of its atmosphere -- the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took a pass over the landing site, the Gale crater.
When it did, it took a stunning photo. In it, you can clearly see Curiosity, its parachute deployed, floating toward the surface of the planet.
The Odyssey satellite got all the credit Sunday night because it was responsible for relaying signals back to Earth about whether the descent and landing were working correctly. But, JPL scientist Sarah Milkovich said Monday morning, Odyssey “wasn’t the only orbiter listening.” The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO, was also circling Mars.

“And with the MRO we weren’t just listening, we were watching,” Milkovich said. The MRO's high-resolution camera, called HiRISE, also played a key role in helping NASA scientists choose the Gale crater as the landing site.
The HiRISE camera is capable of taking images of 30 centimeters per pixel. The new image was reported by Milkovich to be about 33 centimeters per pixel.
At the time of the picture, the MRO was only about 210 miles away from Curiosity -- a tiny distance when you consider that Curiosity had traveled about 350 million miles. It was not a certainty that the image could be taken: Milkovich said they had estimated their chances of capturing it at about 60%.
“HiRISE has taken over 120 pictures of Gale as part of the landing site selection process. But I think this is the coolest one,” Milkovich said with a big smile.
[For the Record, 1:52 p.m., August 6: An earlier version of this post said that Curiosity had traveled about 154 million miles. Though Earth and Mars are 154 million miles apart now, Curiosity had traveled about 350 million miles.]

JPL workers exhale after Curiosity rover lands safely on Mars
August 06, 2012 By Amina Khan
The mood was exuberant at Jet Propulsion Laboratory Sunday night after scientists and engineers watched their one-ton rover execute a complex series of maneuvers and land as gracefully as an Olympic gymnast.
"So that rocked. Seriously! Woo!" said Richard Cook, deputy project manager for the Mars Science Laboratory, as the punched upward with both fists, a sign of victory.
Cook reminisced about how far they had come since the 1997 Pathfinder mission, which sent the first rover, Sojourner, to skitter around the Martian surface. Sojourner was a relatively simple, skateboard-sized affair, whereas the latest rover — known as Curiosity — is a laser-zapping, video-shooting chemical laboratory on wheels.
PHOTOS: JPL's faces of joy
"Pathfinder was great, but we were young and stupid, frankly," Cook said, to much laughter.
The elation was mixed with relief.
“I’m so glad we nailed that sucker!” mission systems engineer Randii Wessen said.
Many of the scientists and engineers at Jet Propulsion Laboratory headquarters turned to humor as a release for the day’s tension.
Photos: History of Mars exploration
"I've never been so happy to be out of a job in my life," said Chris Scolese, director of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Scolese had been tasked with analyzing a mission failure — a moot point after Curiosity touched down on the Martian surface without a hitch.
Even those moments of quiet didn’t stay so for long. When Adam Steltzner, lead for the entry-descent-landing phase of the mission, got misty-eyed during a briefing, the room grew hushed as the engineer composed himself.
As Steltzner tried to speak, a muffled “Woooo” from a neighboring room broke the solemn silence. Steltzner – and his audience – burst out laughing.

HISTORY
DECEMBER 01, 1990 : CHUNNEL MAKES BREAKTHROUGH
Shortly after 11 a.m. on December 1, 1990, 132 feet below the English Channel, workers drill an opening the size of a car through a wall of rock. This was no ordinary hole–it connected the two ends of an underwater tunnel linking Great Britain with the European mainland for the first time in more than 8,000 years.
The Channel Tunnel, or “Chunnel,” was not a new idea. It had been suggested to Napoleon Bonaparte, in fact, as early as 1802. It wasn’t until the late 20th century, though, that the necessary technology was developed. In 1986, Britain and France signed a treaty authorizing the construction of a tunnel running between Folkestone, England, and Calais, France.
Over the next four years, nearly 13,000 workers dug 95 miles of tunnels at an average depth of 150 feet (45 meters) below sea level. Eight million cubic meters of soil were removed, at a rate of some 2,400 tons per hour. The completed Chunnel would have three interconnected tubes, including one rail track in each direction and one service tunnel. The price? A whopping $15 billion.
After workers drilled that final hole on December 1, 1990, they exchanged French and British flags and toasted each other with champagne. Final construction took four more years, and the Channel Tunnel finally opened for passenger service on May 6, 1994, with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and France’s President Francois Mitterrand on hand in Calais for the inaugural run. A company called Eurotunnel won the 55-year concession to operate the Chunnel, which is the crucial stretch of the Eurostar high-speed rail link between London and Paris. The regular shuttle train through the tunnel runs 31 miles in total–23 of those underwater–and takes 20 minutes, with an additional 15-minute loop to turn the train around. The Chunnel is the second-longest rail tunnel in the world, after the Seikan Tunnel in Japan.

HISTORY
JUNE 13, 1966 : THE MIRANDA RIGHTS ARE ESTABLISHED
On this day in 1966, the Supreme Court hands down its decision in Miranda v. Arizona, establishing the principle that all criminal suspects must be advised of their rights before interrogation. Now considered standard police procedure, “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can, and will, be used against you in court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you,” has been heard so many times in television and film dramas that it has become almost cliche.
The roots of the Miranda decision go back to March 2, 1963, when an 18-year-old Phoenix woman told police that she had been abducted, driven to the desert and raped. Detectives questioning her story gave her a polygraph test, but the results were inconclusive. However, tracking the license plate number of a car that resembled that of her attacker’s brought police to Ernesto Miranda, who had a prior record as a peeping tom. Although the victim did not identify Miranda in a line-up, he was brought into police custody and interrogated. What happened next is disputed, but officers left the interrogation with a confession that Miranda later recanted, unaware that he didn’t have to say anything at all.
The confession was extremely brief and differed in certain respects from the victim’s account of the crime. However, Miranda’s appointed defense attorney (who was paid a grand total of $100) didn’t call any witnesses at the ensuing trial, and Miranda was convicted. While Miranda was in Arizona state prison, the American Civil Liberties Union took up his appeal, claiming that the confession was false and coerced.
The Supreme Court overturned his conviction, but Miranda was retried and convicted in October 1966 anyway, despite the relative lack of evidence against him. Remaining in prison until 1972, Ernesto Miranda was later stabbed to death in the men’s room of a bar after a poker game in January 1976.
As a result of the case against Miranda, each and every person must now be informed of his or her rights when arrested.

Statement on Handgun Control Legislation
June 21, 1998
The Justice Department's report on background checks is further proof that the Brady law is working. Since its passage, law enforcement officials have stopped hundreds of thousands of felons, fugitives, and stalkers from buying handguns every year. By keeping guns out of the hands of criminals—and putting more police in our communities—we have helped cut the crime rate to its lowest point in a generation. We must now extend the Brady law's provisions to violent juveniles and bar them from owning guns for life. I call on Congress once again to pass this needed, commonsense legislation.
NOTE: This statement was made available by the Office of the Press Secretary on June 19 but was embargoed for release until 4:30 p.m. on June 21.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation
Time dilation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the theory of relativity, time dilation is a difference of elapsed time between two events as measured by observers either moving relative to each other or differently situated from a gravitational mass or masses.
A clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer's clock. This effect arises neither from technical aspects of the clocks nor from the propagation time of signals, but from the nature of spacetime.
Overview
Relative velocity time dilation
When two observers are in relative uniform motion and uninfluenced by any gravitational mass, the point of view of each will be that the other's (moving) clock is ticking at a slower rate than the local clock. The faster the relative velocity, the greater the magnitude of time dilation. This case is sometimes called special relativistic time dilation.
For instance, two rocket ships (A and B) speeding past one another in space would experience time dilation. If they somehow had a clear view into each other's ships, each crew would see the others' clocks and movement as going more slowly. That is, inside the frame of reference of Ship A, everything is moving normally, but everything over on Ship B appears to be moving more slowly (and vice versa).
From a local perspective, time registered by clocks that are at rest with respect to the local frame of reference (and far from any gravitational mass) always appears to pass at the same rate. In other words, if a new ship, Ship C, travels alongside Ship A, it is "at rest" relative to Ship A. From the point of view of Ship A, new Ship C's time would appear normal too.
A question arises: If Ship A and Ship B both think each other's time is moving slower, who will have aged more if they decided to meet up? With a more sophisticated understanding of relative velocity time dilation, this seeming twin paradox turns out not to be a paradox at all (the resolution of the paradox involves a jump in time, as a result of the accelerated observer turning around). Similarly, understanding the twin paradox would help explain why astronauts on the ISS age slower (e.g. 0.007 seconds behind for every six months) even though they are experiencing relative velocity time dilation.
