Featured: Free Energy / UFOs > Reverse Engineering / Emergency Preparedness >
Free Energy hope for doomsday and ET disclosure - The primary reason why most national governments have been suppressing UFO sightings and downplaying the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation and technology is that once people realize that these things are real, then their creative genius will liberated, and replications will follow shortly, making oppressive governments obsolete.

Propulsion / Magnetism >
Scientist eyes 39-day voyage to Mars - The Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMC) is becoming a centerpiece of NASA's future strategy. It would use electricity to transform a fuel -- likely hydrogen, helium or deuterium -- into plasma gas that is heated to 11 million degrees Celsius. The plasma gas is then channeled into tailpipes using magnetic fields to propel the spacecraft. (Yahoo News; Feb. 26, 2010)
