  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Project Argonaut: a Proposal for a Mars Sample Return Mission ∗
    Project Argonaut: A Proposal for a Mars Sample Return Mission ∗ Archit Arora, Courtney Best, Liam Durbin, Robert Groome, Duncan Harris, Henry Heim, Thomas Keane, Eric Miller, Annie Ping, and Alexandra Wyatt Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, 47906, United States With increasing interest in colonizing Mars, multiple missions have been aimed at re- trieving more information about the red planet, such as the recent Mars Science Laboratory mission. The main focus of this interest is in determining whether Mars is capable of sup- porting life, which requires an analysis of the soil. The next major step in Martian science is a Mars Sample Return mission, which would allow scientists to conduct complicated and in-depth tests on the soil that are not possible with robotic instruments sent to Mars. This paper explores Project Argonaut, a mission proposal to retrieve a sample from the surface of Mars and bring it back to Earth. The name Argonaut reflects the legend of the band of heroes who sailed on the Argo to fetch the golden fleece from the field of Ares, as the mis- sion requires a journey to Mars in order to retrieve the prized sample. Project Argonaut integrates existing research with innovative concepts to propose a plausible solution to the key issues associated with the mission. ∗Copyright c 2016 by Archit Arora, Courtney Best, Liam Durbin, Robert Groome, Duncan Harris, Henry Heim, Thomas Keane, Eric Miller, Annie Ping, and Alexandra Wyatt.

  • Wernher Von Braun - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Wernher von Braun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wernher Magnus Maximilian, Freiherr von Braun (March 23, 1912 – June 16, 1977) was a German rocket Wernher von Braun scientist, aerospace engineer, space architect, and one of the leading figures in the development of rocket technology in Nazi Germany during World War II and, subsequently, in the United States. He is credited as being the "Father of Rocket Science". In his 20s and early 30s, von Braun was the central figure in Germany's rocket development program, responsible for the design and realization of the V-2 combat rocket during World War II. After the war, he and some select members of his rocket team were taken to the United States as part of the then-secret Operation Paperclip. Von Braun worked on the United States Army intermediate range ballistic missile (IRBM) program before his group was assimilated by NASA. Under NASA, he served as director of the newly formed Marshall Space Flight Center and as the chief architect of the Saturn V launch vehicle, the superbooster that propelled the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon.[1] According to one NASA Von Braun at his desk at Marshall Space Flight source, he is "without doubt, the greatest rocket scientist in Center in May 1964, with models of the Saturn history".[2] His crowning achievement was to lead the rocket family development of the Saturn V booster rocket that helped land Born Wernher Magnus Maximilian, [3] the first men on the Moon in July 1969.
