THE BEGINNING OF THE END

Today, the landing of the space shuttle Atlantis, marks the last chapter for manned space flight by United States.  Once on the bleeding edge, this country has lost it's mojo by a series of inept leadership that has sabotaged the  long range goals of NASA.  Albeit, robotic missions are still alive and well, but there is no substitute for the human touch, as the astronauts are the vanguard of the human race's pushing the envelope of exploration.  However, there is hope other nations will pick up the ball and soldier on.

CHAOS - Part 2

Is nature hitting back at humanity?  As our numbers increase and like locusts we denude the environment with our insatiable appetite for resources.  As stewards of this planet, we have a poor track record of managing our fellow creatures, not too mention ourselves,  As a collective, we have to seriously stop and review what our actions entail and the consequences that would lead to a Apocalypse.  The fallout is not so much a danger for the planet, as earth has endured far greater violent changes and manages to re-stabilize.  The danger is more so to us, possibly leading to our own self inflicted extinction.
