Maussan has previously been associated with claims of discoveries that have later been debunked, Tara Cobham 13.09.2023 Alleged “non-human” alien corpses have been displayed to Mexican politicians at the country’s Congress. The two small alleged alien corpses, retrieved from Cusco, Peru, were presented in windowed boxes in Mexico City on Wednesday, stirring excitement within the UFO conspiracy theorist community. The event was spearheaded by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, who testified under oath that the mummified specimens are not part of “our terrestrial evolution”, with almost a third of their DNA remaining “unknown”, reported Mexican media. The claims by the self-claimed ‘ufologist’ have not been proven and Mr Maussan has previously been associated with claims of discoveries that have later been debunked. At the public hearing, Mr Maussan showed US officials and members of the Mexican government several videos of “UFOs and unidentified anomalous phenomena” before unveiling the alleged alien corpses. He said: “These specimen are not part of our terrestrial evolution... These aren’t beings that were found after a UFO wreckage. They were found in diatom (algae) mines, and were later fossilized.” Mr Maussan told attendees the specimens had been studied by scientists at the Autonomous National University of Mexico (UNAM) who were able to draw DNA evidence using radiocarbon dating. After comparisons were made to other DNA samples, it was found that over 30% of the specimens’ DNA was “unknown”, he said. X-rays of the specimens were also shown during the hearing, with experts testifying under oath that one of the bodies is seen to have “eggs” inside, while both were said to have implants made of very rare metals, such as Osmium. Ryan Graves, Americans for Safe Aerospace Executive Director and former US Navy pilot, was in attendance, having earlier this year told US Congress of the threat that unidentified aerial phenomena posed to US national security. Mr Maussan has previously been associated with claims of “alien” discoveries that have later been debunked, including five mummies found in Peru in 2017 that were later shown to be human children. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/alien-corpses-in-mexico-found-congress-ufo-b2411144.html

Excited to share that I've joined the Moon Village Association's Global Expert Group on Sustainable Lunar Activities (GEGSLA) Working Group (WG3)- Lunar Multi-Stakeholder Coordination, led by Co-chairs Mark Sundahl, Cleveland State University and Yu Xu, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and glad to be working with great mind. Why would we care about the lunar future? here's why: 🌌 Expanding Human Horizons: The lunar future represents a remarkable opportunity to extend humanity's reach beyond Earth, advancing our knowledge of space and its potential for future exploration and habitation. 🛰️ Resource Abundance: Beyond its scientific value, the Moon offers rich resources like water ice and minerals that could be essential for sustaining future lunar missions and even supporting life on Earth. 🌎 Sustainable Exploration: Ensuring the lunar future is peaceful, safe, and sustainable is crucial. WG 3's mission is to facilitate global collaboration, fostering responsible lunar activities that benefit all nations and future generations. Our work includes developing a proposal for the International Committee on Lunar Operations (ICLO), which will coordinate efforts at both operational and #policy levels. Stay tuned for updates as we contribute to a brighter and more informed future in space exploration. 🌌🚀 #LunarFuture #SpaceExploration #Sustainability #GlobalCollaboration #space #spacesustainability #spacediplomacy #spaceeconomy #spacetechnology #spacepolicy #diplomacy #internationalrelations https://www.linkedin.com/in/malak-trabelsi-loeb-872289137/

If you’re imagining slow-motion ping pong, you’re not far off. Space Future has been studying the future of zero-g sports for years now, and they’ve come up with some really interesting findings. f you’re imagining slow-motion ping pong, you’re not far off. Space Future has been studying the future of zero gravity sports for years now, and they’ve come up with some really interesting findings. They are considering the possibilities of sporting events for space tourists. Many companies are predicting that hotels will pop up in space, along with top-of-the-line luxury experiences for tourists. These people will have money to spare and they will want live entertainment to rival anything they could have enjoyed back on earth. Here’s what we might expect from zero-gravity sports in the next hundreds years or more. Some earth athletes have already experienced performance in zero gravity.

Gray News) – NASA is planning to use some of the world’s oldest aeronautical technology to do some of its most-advanced studying of the stars. A balloon as a big as a football stadium will be used to lift a specialized telescope over Antarctica in 2023. ASTHROS, https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasa-mission-will-study-the-cosmos-with-a-stratospheric-balloon  which stands for astrophysics stratospheric telescope, will be carried by the big balloon to an altitude of nearly 25 miles.  While it circles the South Pole for a month, it will collect new data about the stars NASA has never been able to do before. "Balloon missions like ASTHROS are higher-risk than space missions but yield high-rewards at modest cost," said engineer Jose Siles, project manager for ASTHROS. Scientists expect to learn more about the Milky Way and the evolution of galaxies. When the balloon deflates, the telescope will safely parachute back to earth, ready to be used again in the future.
