Is NASA Out To Create A Second Sun?
By James Donahue
Back in the era of atomic and hydrogen bomb experimentation some researchers expressed a fear that detonation of a fission bomb would start an unending chain reaction that would destroy the world. The matter was carefully studied and the conclusion was reached that it probably would not happen. To test the theory they exploded the bomb anyway and thankfully learned that they were right.
After the war the experimentation with nuclear bombs was moved to the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. There the bombs got bigger and more powerful. Then on March 1, 1954 they exploded Castle Bravo, the first test of a dry fuel hydrogen bomb. The power of that blast caught technicians off guard. The nuclear fallout from the blast fell on the people living on nearby islands and spread around the world. Anyone within range of the fallout suffered radioactive contamination. As far as we know, that was the most powerful nuke the U.S. ever exploded.
After that, however, the Russians began testing even bigger bombs. On October 30, 1961, they exploded Ivan, the most powerful weapon ever constructed by mankind. It was detonated over Novaya Zemlya, a remote island in the Arctic. That blast was so powerful it broke windows in Norway.
After this the insanity of exploding more and more such destructive nuclear bombs brought both U.S. and Russian leaders to a mutual agreement to (a.) stop exploding bombs and contaminating the atmosphere with nuclear fallout, and (b.) start dismantling their massive stockpiles of bombs and missiles since both nations had more than enough power on hand to literally destroy the world.
Competition then moved toward conquering outer space. After the Russians launched the Sputnik satellite that circled the earth several times we began building rockets that first put a monkey and then men in orbit. Then we sent men to the moon.
It was in the late 1990’s that NASA sent the Galileo satellite into orbit around the gas giant Jupiter. Galileo was driven by new technology that utilized Plutonium to keep it in orbit and operating for years.
Once again many scientists and the general public began worrying about the possibility of Galileo crashing into that gas giant filled with hydrogen and helium and consequently triggering a chain reaction that would set the entire planet on fire. In effect, they worried that human tinkering might create a second sun in our solar system.
In spite of the concern, once the research project was finished, NASA deliberately crashed Galileo into Jupiter. They chose the planet rather than hitting one of the solid moons because they didn’t want to risk contaminating the moons. Conspiracy theorists held their breath.
A dark spot appeared for a while on the surface of Jupiter where the satellite hit. It eventually disappeared. And nothing else happened. The planet appeared to just swallow Galileo without much of a reaction.
After Galileo, NASA sent Cassini, an even larger and more elaborate Plutonium powered satellite into orbit around Saturn, a slightly smaller gas giant. So the question still hangs . . . is NASA secretly trying to create a second sun?
The idea seems strange since Earth is currently suffering from a warming atmosphere that many researchers believe is at least partly caused by solar warming. If this is true, why would we want a second sun making things even worse? Also, having a second sun could probably mean that the Earth experiences little if any night. That would upset the balance of nature in more ways than we can count.
But wait; a team of astronomers in Wales that has been studying solar cycles is predicting something called a "maunder minimum" event on our sun by about 2030. Professor Valentina Zharkova says that if this happens, the Earth will experience another "Little Ice Age" that will bring colder temperatures, long more severe winters, and short growing seasons that could last for several years.
If this happens, perhaps the alleged "secret" plan by NASA to fire up a second sun might be something to consider.
The late William Cooper, in his book Behold a Pale Horse, exposed such a plan by NASA called the Lucifer Project. The Cooper expose, published in 1991, told how the plan was to crash the Galileo probe, with its big payload of plutonium fuel rods, into Jupiter and attempt to trigger a large enough blast to force the emergence of a new sun.
While Jupiter and Saturn are both massive gas balls composed mostly of hydrogen and helium; two highly volatile gasses, it seems as if a third element called oxygen is needed to make it all burn. Yet we are sure our sun burns very well without an atmosphere of oxygen to feed it. Maybe the NASA scientists have an understanding of how all of this works.
Some researchers suggest that Saturn, if successfully ignited, would be smaller than the sun, but it would generate enough heat to warm the planet's moons and possibly make them habitable for human occupation.
Not a bad idea if it works. But dare we try such a thing? Somehow we humans have a way of seriously making a mess of the natural order of things every time we start tinkering with creation.
