Creating A New Riff On My Guitar

Created a couple of good riffs on my ESP 7 string. I think I’m gonna write a song using them.

Bad News

Apparently ning.com has decided to start phasing out free accounts so it looks like strangeandcool.ning.com will be no more. I was planning on upgrading the ning site until this. I don’t believe companies should behave in such a manner so I’ve decided to cancel the ning site.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I’ll be searching for a substitute if I have to install a community web portal software on the server myself. :-)

I’ll let you guys know what’s up soon.

Re: Salvia 1 – Conversations with Light-Beings

This is a video response to a friend on youtube who filmed himself talking to astral beings while tripping on salvia divinorum.

Here’s a link to the original video that I am responding to in the above clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30mzNPT7aAU

In his original video while this guy is on his Salvia trip he’s talking to a being that’s in the room with him and he’s asking him questions and he tries to relay what the being is saying to him. This is a really trippy video you should check it out

Affordable Space Tourism Is Almost Here Folks.

Space tourism is the recent phenomenon of tourists paying for flights into space. So if that’s been a dream or aspiration of yours or if it’s on your “Bucket List” :-) Read on…

As of 2009, orbital space tourism opportunities are limited and expensive, with only the Russian Space Agency providing transport. The price for a flight brokered by Space Adventures to the International Space Station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft is $20–28 million!

Infrastructure for a suborbital space tourism industry is being developed through the construction of spaceports in numerous locations, including California, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Florida, Virginia, Alaska, Wisconsin, Esrange in Sweden as well as the United Arab Emirates. Some use the term “personal spaceflight” as in the case of the Personal Spaceflight Federation.

A number of startup companies have sprung up in recent years, hoping to create a space tourism industry.

Guy Laliberte, the Canadian acrobat and founder of Cirque du Soleil is set to become the seventh private space explorer when he lifts off Sept. 30 aboard the Russian Soyuz TMA-16 spacecraft.

Laliberte booked his trip with the Russian Federal Space Agency through the U.S. firm Space Adventures, which usually charges about $30 million for the excursions. Laliberte is set to visit the International Space Station for about 12 days.

Laliberte is calling his voyage the “first social/humanitarian mission in space,” and says he is devoting his trip to raising awareness of worldwide water issues. In 2007 he founded the non-profit One Drop Foundation, which fights for better access to clean water for people around the world.

Laliberte, 50, is married and has five children. He is currently training in Russia’s Star City cosmonaut training center to prepare for his mission.

“The Russian Federal Space Agency really puts you through some tough tests,” he said. “My main concern is to make sure that I am ready and I will not have to be babysat by my crew.”

The last space tourist to fly was Charles Simonyi, a Hungarian software executive who made his second paid trip to the space station in March, also through Space Adventures. Laliberte will be making the eighth space tourist flight.

Laliberte could be the last private citizen to travel to space for a while. If NASA retires its space shuttle fleet in 2010 as planned, the Russian vehicles will be the only way to transport people to the International Space Station. In that case, available Soyuz seats could become scarce for space tourists.

Laliberte will be making the eighth space tourist flight (he is the seventh private spaceflyer, since Simonyi flew twice). He, like all the other private spaceflyers so far, opted not to participate in a spacewalk, which would have cost an extra $15 million.

Laliberte is part of Space Adventures’ elite Orbital Missions Explorers Circle program, which requires a $5 million deposit to join, and allows members to skip to the head of the waiting list when space tourist opportunities become available.

You wouldn’t believe the list of startup companies that are planning to get into this business.

Here’s the big list if you wanna check them out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_tourism_companies

One company worth mentioning is Virgin Galactic. They are planning on offering sub-orbital flights cheaper than their Russian competitors. Much cheaper in fact. Somewhere along the $200,000 per flight range.

It seems to me that Virgin Galactic Tours would be a good company to look into buying stocks from. They look very promising.

Virgin Galactic’s sub-orbital space trips promise to be the most intense and wonderful experiences that passengers have ever had. Astronauts of the past 45 years have all returned to earth struggling to convey the enormity of what they have discovered and with their perceptions clearly changed. To be able to extend that privilege to people from all walks of life has been a long held ambition at Virgin. To date more than 200 tickets have already been sold!

Astronauts will spend 2 to 3 days of training at or near the Virgin Galactic New Mexico Spaceport before embarking on their sub-orbital flight, although the first flights will depart from the Mojave Spaceport. You will fly in SpaceShipTwo (SS2) designed and built by Burt Rutan of Scaled Composites and based on SpaceShipOne which has completed 3 sub-orbital flights and won the X Prize in 2004.

Virgin Galactics SS2 (Space Ship 2), which has had many successful test flights, will be carried by a revolutionary mothership called WhiteKnightTwo. She will climb to a height of around 50,000 feet (approximate cruising altitude of Concorde) where SS2 will be released before firing her rockets and accelerating in a vertical climb reaching a speed of 3.3 mach. Shortly afterward SS2 will slow to allow you to enjoy zero g and continue to climb to a total altitude of 110km or 360,888 feet – that’s 10 kilometers or 33,000 feet into space! After enjoying some of the most spectacular views and sensations ever experienced by humankind, the wings of the spacecraft will feather to allow a safe re-entry at around 6 g’s. After re-entry the wings will re-configure to allow a gentle glide back to the spaceport. On your return to terra firma you will be given your Virgin Galactic astronaut wings!

The cost of the flight is US$200,000 and there are three deposit options available that link to the order in which astronauts will fly along with the level of involvement they wish to have with the project…

My next question is: How are they gonna hide all the UFO’s from these “Space Tourists” when they start going up more frequently and the odds of someone seeing something they’re not supposed to goes up? :-) Huh? Answer me THAT. :-)
