July 28, 2016 Subject: Fix the Broken Federal Coal Program! July 28, 2016 Subject: Fix the Broken Federal Coal Program! Dear Director Kornze and Division Chief Leverette, The guidelines governing coal mining on public lands haven’t been reviewed in over a generation, and coal executives are taking advantage of outdated rules at the expense of westerners. In Colorado, coal companies have been gaming the system to buy coal for $0.23 a ton. That’s over 17 tons of coal for the price of a Big Mac. While coal CEOs get bigger bonuses, western communities face destroyed landscapes, air and water pollution, climate pollution, and over $28 billion in lost revenues that could be used to improve our schools and roads. Coloradans aren’t getting a fair share from the resources mined on public lands. It’s time to modernize this program. For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has committed to fixing the broken coal program. The BLM has asked for feedback and they need to hear from you. Western economies and energy development have entered the 21st century, but our federal coal guidelines haven’t kept up. We need modern standards that reduce pollution, address climate change, deliver a fair return to taxpayers and local governments, and ensure mine cleanup that safeguards local communities. Tell the BLM to put westerners first. Please see below for the 2,369 people that signed this letter.

The first volume dealt with the birth of the Apollo Program and traced its early development. The second concerns its teenage period, up to September 30, 1964. By late 1962 the broad conceptual design of the Apollo spacecraft and the Apollo lunar landing mission was complete. The Administrator formally advised the President of the United States on December 10 that NASA had selected lunar orbit rendezw)us over direct ascent and earth orbit rendezvous as the mode for landing on the moon. All major spacecraft contractors had been selected; detailed system design and early developmental testing were under way. On October 20, 1962, soon after Wally Schirra's six-orbit mission in .Sigma 7, the first formal overall status review of the Apollo spacecraft and flight mission effort was given to Administrator James E. _Vebb. The writer of this foreword, who was then the Assistant Director for Apollo Spacecraft Development, recalls George Low, then Director of Manned Spacecraft and Flight Missions trader D.

Understanding these physical and chemical parame- ters is fundamental knowledge necessary not only for discovering life or signs of life on other planets, but also for understanding our own terrestrial environment. Therefore, astrobiology pushes us to combine different perspectives such as the conditions on the primitive Earth, the B H.

Wray22 Abstract A committee of the Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG) has reviewed and updated the description of Special Regions on Mars as places where terrestrial organisms might replicate (per the COSPAR Planetary Protection Policy). This review and update was conducted by an international team (SR-SAG2) drawn from both the biological science and Mars exploration communities, focused on understanding when and where Special Regions could occur. The study applied recently available data about martian environments and about terrestrial organisms, building on a previous analysis of Mars Special Regions (2006) undertaken by a similar team. Since then, a new body of highly relevant information has been generated from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (launched in 2005) and Phoenix (2007) and data from Mars Express and the twin Mars Exploration Rovers (all 2003).

  • The Search for Life on Mars and Other Planetary Bodies 211
    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.75437 ProvisionalChapter chapter 12 Are We Alone? The Search for Life onon MarsMars andand OtherOther Planetary Bodies Stephanie A.A. Smith, Smith, Andrzej PaszczynskiAndrzej Paszczynski and Susan E. ChildersE. Childers Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.75437 Abstract Extensive research has shown the potential for microorganisms to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth. Our current understanding of diverse life on Earth implies that, even though the surface of Mars is very inhospitable to life, it is possible that there may be indigenous microorganisms on Mars, especially in the protective subsurface. Ultimately, a better understanding of microbial diversity on Earth is needed to determine the limits of life to help determine the potential for life on Mars and other exoplanets. Keywords: microorganisms, extreme environments, life on Mars, exoplanets 1. Introduction The search for extraterrestrial life is bolstered by our long-standing quest to determine if we are alone in the Universe. Mars and Europa are two likely candidates to target in the search for extraterrestrial life, since both have carbon, potential energy sources, and water in some form [1–4]. The current focus to search for life on Mars is supported by the fact that although Mars is quite cold and dry, current conditions are thought to be analogous to conditions on early Earth when single-celled life was gaining a foothold [5]. Furthermore, because there is a diversity of microorganisms known to thrive in the most inhospitable habitats on Earth, it is not unreasonable to think that microorganisms could live on Mars.

Johannes Jürgenson Das Gegenteil ist wahr Zweiter Band: Die Wahre Herkunft der Flugscheiben und die Folgen für die Weltpolitik Denkbar ist alles, möglich vieles und plausibel eine ganze Menge. Die entscheidende Frage bleibt jedoch: Was ist wahr? - Geleitwort - Dieses Buch gibt dem Leser Einblicke in Begebenheiten der letzten Jahrzehnte, die dem deutschen Volk bewußt verschwiegen wurden und noch werden. in unserem Zeitalter geschehen Dinge, die für den Verstand des Durchschnittsbürgers und das betrifft uns ja fast alle, unbegreiflich, unfaßbar erscheinen. Wissenschaft und Technik sind soweit vorangeschritten, wie einst in den Zukunftsromanen eines Jules Verne und Hans Dominik, nun die Wende des 19. zum 20. Jahrhunderts beschrieben wurden, sich längst weit darüber hinaus entwickelten. Zum Leidwesen der gesamten Menschheit hat sich eine Clique gewissenloser Menschen zusammen geschlossen, die, die Fäden nicht nur auf dem Gebiet der weltweiten Finanzen ziehen, sondern auch ihr Spinnennetz über die gesamte Wissenschaft, Technik, Medien und Militärs gezogen haben und somit versuchen sich den Rest der Menschheit zu Sklaven zu machen.

B[;5 [;5 ii! rr SUBJECT: Minutes of the Apollo Site Selection Board Meeting, December 15. 1966 A. PURPOSE OF MEETING The meeting was held to review the status of the Apollo site selection program. In an introduction. Dr. L. Reiffel stressed the need for a quantitative evaluation of landing safety in Apollo sites. The agenda is given in Attachment A. Attendees are listed in Attachment B. B. LUNAR ORBITER PERFORMANCE Capt. L. R. Scherer reviewed the accomplishments of the Lunar Orbiter program. Lunar Orbiter I obtained stereo medium resolution (about 8 meter) photography in 9 potential Apollo landing sites. Lunar Orbiter II obtained stereo medium resolution and monoscopic high resolution (about 1 meter) photography of 13 potential Apollo landing sites. In addition. the majority of the equatorial band on the back side and from 40 0 E longitude to 1000 E longitude on the front side has been photographed at lower resolution. C. GEOLOGIC INTERPRETATION Mr. L. Rowan of USGS discussed the geologic interpretation of the photography. He described three major phenomena; the ejecta blanket and ray pattern surrounding impact craters. volcanic fields, and mass movement (a new process of slumping and flow of the top layer of lunar soil). Mr. Rowan's presentation was taken from the paper "Orbiter Observations of the Lunar Surface.
