NASA has just discovered that there is more water on the moon than previously believed. Before y'all get excited & start booking luna boating holidays , it still remains 100X drier than the Sahara desert. It does however, make the possibilty of a moonbase more feasable. You heard it here first.

Yes folks, we're nearly there....

NASA also wants to put the first woman on the moon by 2024. Science fiction ?"Moonbase Alpha, do you read me ?"

...Yes folks, we're nearly there....

But that was 21 years ago in 1999. Surely we were closer to having settlements on the moon then than we are now.

If you put a woman in the silent vacuum of space, where no one can hear her speak, is the man still always wrong?

Hey Bud, if you've got any questions, ask NASA...........I'm just the messenger & set designer.

Success! NASA’s OSIRIS-REx Sampled Asteroid Bennu Today! Never Tried Before.


“Everything went perfect! And we’ve never done this before!”

– Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx Principal Investigator, Univ. of Arizona – Tucson, a few minutes after 6:12 PM Eastern, October 20, 2020, when the spacecraft touched down, gathered a sample and rose again


October 20, 2020 Tucson, Arizona – Today NASA touched down “for a tag event” on the mysterious asteroid Bennu and picked up a sample of its rocky surface to bring back to Earth for study.

“Everything went perfect! And we’ve never done this before!”

– Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx Principal Investigator, Univ. of Arizona – Tucson, a few minutes after the spacecraft touched down, gathered sample and rose again

At 5 PM Eastern, NASA began its official NASA TV stream of its first ever attempt to collect an asteroid sample from Bennu by its spacecraft of very long name: “Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer” (OSIRIS-REx).

The actual brief landing and take off was successful at 6:12 PM EST on October 20, 2020,

Thanks, Hurricane Jack,
That is pretty amazing. I wonder how this ties in with some recent speculative talk about one day mining asteroids.

https://www.techtimes.com/articles/...teroid-mining-700-quintillion-worth-space.htm

Nonetheless, last weeks touch and go was remarkable.

Ooops. I just saw this. It looks like we grabbed more material than we intended and the vehicle is leaking particles. Nothing that can’t be fixed (we hope):

Really? All that money, time, effort, training, and experience, and all they're bringing back is a slightly-used briquette?

Those rocks could be sold for millions if they wanted to. I think of the ~285 moon rocks brought back from 2 missions there are only ~100 rocks whose whereabouts are known. One rock was recovered when it was being offered for sale on the black market for $5million after being stolen.

I wonder about the legal rights to "debris" taken from an asteroid. After all, all of the moon rocks (and/or any other physical materials) brought back from the moon during the U.S./Apollo moon landings are considered to be property of the U.S. government and are illegal for any "private" parties to own. In this case I suppose it all belongs to NASA until the government determines how much it's potentially worth and claims it.

I'm sure it all falls as property of the gov't. No doubt a lot of it will get "loaned" to private gov't contractors for the testing & experimentation they want to carry out on the samples.

Well, this is weird. Odd thing is that it was discovered smack dab in the middle of nowhere. If it’s a 2001 Space Odyssey tribute, somebody went to a lot of expense and trouble to place it where nobody would see it.

Maybe it's Utah's version of the Georgia Guidestones that no one knows who financed or had erected. Or what the inscription means other than the obvious.

Whoever put it there will surely go to his/her/their grave(s) giggling at the thought of generations to come pondering it's existence and examining all of the various possibilities.

From a construction & erection standpoint they would have gone to a huge expense to have it fabricated in stainless steel & the transportation & equipment necessary to erect it. A lot could be determined by the base or pier it sets in, etc. No small group of tricksters could have pulled it off.

Federal government provenance suffices legal claim and private parties lack standing.
Just like at the track when hitting the exacta on a slop mud run, third race of the Haskell at Monmouth.

Thanks for the pics. So many questions.
What exactly is it made of? (Stainless steel?)
What is its estimated weight?
How was it "planted" in the ground? Was cement used?
How much of it is below ground?
Is there any kind of a road nearby? Exactly how remote is its location?
Are there any markings on it at all? Including tooling marks?
Is there anything to indicate how long it has been there?

I'm sure that a proper examination and report would nail down the fact that it is of recent earthly origin.

...OR... Now for the conspiracy stuff (really I'm not a conspiracy nut): Every report talks about how the location is being kept secret because it is remote and they are afraid that adventurers without proper wilderness training will get lost or endanger themselves finding it. Ok. But can't you equally picture NASA having it locked-down and put under a tent and all manner of scientists and experts examining it to figure out what it is? Mulder? Skully? and then it disappears into that vast government wearhouse where the Ark is hidden. I wonder if there will be any follow-up news reports.

Not much can be determined for definite from the pics except it would appear to be stainless steel & not aluminum. Stainless steel has high physical properties & could not be pierced easily by vandals like aluminum could. It's also safe from weather corrosive.

It is likely a fabricated tube with a welded & enclosed top, which means it has one welded seam running lengthwise on a corner. Plenty of fabricators with a pressbrake could bend the other 3 corners. Pressbrakes used for steel are usually 12-14 ft long (wide), rarely as long as 20 ft. So I'm thinking overall length is ~12 ft long & it sits on a concrete base. It could be erected onto the pad with just a pole truck assuming you could get one in there to the site.

I'm thinking it houses some kind of instrument for the gov't tracking satellite traffic, etc. It would be interesting to know the coordinates & how that could relate to the crossing satellite traffic every 24 hrs.

It is also interesting that it can't be too far from the Uinta Valley & the world famous Skinwakler Ranch which has been turned into a physical research laboratory of the supernatural, first by the US gov't. & since outsourced to a couple of private individuals.

My guess is it's Robert Redford's hi-tech sun dial made from aircraft aluminium.
The little canal behind it though looks man made, probably isn't but looks it.

When I saw the news that internet sleuths had uncovered the coordinates of the Utah Monolith…

https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/24/21656223/mysterious-utah-monolith-osint-google-earth-tracking

I felt the urge to dig deeper…

https://www.rt.com/usa/507725-utah-monolith-coordinates-found/

Not being sticklers for protocol or other niceties, the Russian article links to the original 4Chan detective thread.

I scrolled down the 4Chan discussion, and voila! The precise coordinates are there.

Next, I went to Google Earth and typed in the coordinates. I gotta say, its an impressively remote location between Canyon Lands National Park and Navajo Mountain. It's at the top of a maze of narrow canyons. Several miles* from the nearest road or jeep track.

If an artist is responsible for the monolith, the expense and amount of work involved was very large and impressive. There is no way a truck could get in there. Everything had to be brought in by helicopter or pack horse.

Based on comparative satellite photos, it looks as though the monolith was installed between very late 2015 and early 2016. And it remained unseen and undetected for more than four years.

So… who made it and what it is for is still a mystery.

* Update: France24 reports that it is about six miles from the nearest road.
