Whoopi –ding-shit, 'Welcome to Jupiter!' NASA's Juno Space
Probe Arrives at Giant Planet—Well at Least the Giant Ball of Hot Gas.
Juno spacecraft has successfully started orbiting
Jupiter.
It was launched five years ago to study the planet's
composition.
Juno is a spinning, robotic probe as wide as a
basketball court.
As a “safety” concern; in order to prevent any possible
bacteria or micro-particles capable of sustaining life from reaching any of
Jupiter’s moons; the probe will eventually be crashed into Jupiter’s atmosphere
and burn???. How come NASA did not have the same concern about previous probes
sent to the moon, mars, comets and asteroids???
The largest planet in our solar system,
Jupiter is a huge ball of gas 11 times wider than Earth and 300 times more massive than our planet.
Researchers think it was the first planet to form and
that it holds clues to how the solar system evolved.
Spacecraft have been to Jupiter before. But scientists
still are puzzled by the gas giant.
What's going on under Jupiter's dense clouds? Does it
have a solid core? How much water is in its atmosphere? And how deep are those
colorful bands and that mysterious giant red spot?
Juno is the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter since
Galileo. Galileo was deliberately crashed into Jupiter on September 21, 2003,
to protect one of its discoveries -- a possible ocean beneath Jupiter's moon
Europa.
Now, to get to the real purpose of this article; the
Juno mission will cost NASA $1.1billion. As I write this article, the federal
government has accumulated $18.2 trillion of debt.
In our SPACED OUT WESTERN SOCIETY, government deficits (both Canada and the United
States of North America) are common: in the last half century, both federal
governments have run a deficit in 45 out of 50 years. If the United States of
North America government runs a deficit, the Treasury borrows money to make up
the difference between how much money is being spent and how much money is
coming in – thus CREATING FEDERAL DEBT-the same is true in Canada.
THIRTY-FOUR PERCENT OF DEBT, IN BOTH COUNTRIES, IS
HELD INTERNATIONALLY BY FOREIGN INVESTORS (I.E. FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS, (China,
Japan , Brazil, Belgium,,oil exporters, Caribbean Banks) FOREIGN INSTITUTIONS,
AND INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES) WHO BUY OUR TREASURY BONDS AS
INVESTMENTS.
Did you know that one out of every nine children in Canada
and in The United States of North America is going to bed hungry? 1 in 7 (or 4.9 million) people in Canada live in
poverty.
ü
In Edmonton, 1 in 8 individuals are
currently living in poverty.
ü
Poverty costs Canada as a whole
between $72 billion and $84 billion annually; Ontarians pay $2,299 – $2,895 per
year, while British Columbians pay over $2,100 per year.
ü
Precarious employment has increased
by nearly 50% over the past two decades.
ü
Between 1980 and 2005 the average earnings
among the least wealthy Canadians fell by 20%.
ü
Over the past 25 years, Canada’s
population has increased by 30% and yet annual national investment in housing
has decreased by 46%.
Marginalized Groups (the Members of society that are
especially vulnerable to poverty, including persons living with disabilities, single
mothers, Aboriginals, elderly individuals, and radicalized communities are
twice as likely to live below the poverty line.
Nearly 15% of people with disabilities live in
poverty, 59% of which are women.
Estimates place the number of homeless individuals
living with a disability or mental illness as high as 45% of the overall
homeless population.
Children with disabilities are twice as likely to live
in households relying on social assistance.
Our, what we laughingly call our governments cannot
even come close to administrating/managing the matters on Earth. We therefore
have absolutely no business in Nature’s outer realms, no RIGHT to fuck up the
rest of NATURE’S CREATION.~~~Al (Alex-Alexander) D Girvan.
