Gaiacomm International to develop Defeat IED technology


Gaiacomm International will develop Counter (defeat) IED technology for the US Military to be used in Iraq, Afghanistan and other conflict zones. This technology is currently classified because of its accurate nature of detection. When deployed it will be able to detect and disable any device in the ground, on person (suicide bombers), inside vehicle or building's within a determined range, also classified. Soldiers are dying thus, the emphasis on accurate detection. Other technologies currently in the field simply do not operate as planned, thus the need for Gaiacomm's technology.
Gaiacomm also designs arcane electromagnetic weapons systems for use in large areas for complete destruction.

My question is rocket technology is basically the same now as it was 50-60 years ago. Oh the rockets got bigger and more powerful but have about reached their limits. It is obvious that if we are to continue space exploration we are going to have to develop much faster means of propulsion than rockets. Distances are far far to great and the time it will take to get even to our next closest neighbor is far too chalenging. We need to shorten the trip. It does not appears we have been working on that problem very hard.

'Oh the rockets got bigger and more powerful but have about reached their limits.'

That's not true.

The Saturn 5 is still the rocket with the most powerful specifications.

The reason it is not used today, is because it could never attain those specs.

If it really had lived up to its specifications, NASA would still be using it.

This is also an indirect proof that NASA never went to the moon.

The 'moon landing' was just an elaborate hoax.

There are many direct proofs that the 'moon landing' was a hoax, so people don't often bother with the 'Saturn 5' proof.

Here are two links to 'Saturn 5' type arguments:

The 'moon landing' hoax is such an obvious hoax, I find it hard to believe anyone believes in it.

During the entirety of the Cold War Era, and especially during the 1960's, The United States of America and The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics were locked in an existential worldwide political struggle. They 'boxed' with each other in the global center ring, while the rest of the world watched like boxing judges. Though each 'Super-Boxer' was occasionally able to successfully land a blow upon the other, both knew that they could never win the bout by a 'nuclear knock-out'. Each nation understood that they could only become the 'Champion' by defeating the other 'on points'. The 'Moon Race' round was one of their most hotly contested; and when the United States won that round, if it had cheated, does anyone think that the Soviet Union would not have cried 'FOUL'! to the 'boxing judges'-to the rest of the world? The Soviets would not, they could not, have allowed this sort of deception to stand. Many Russians today say that losing the moon race contest to the Americans hurt a great deal back when it happened; so much so that they still feel it today. If the Soviets could have exposed a faked NASA moon landing back then, they certainly and rightly would have immediately moved to do so. Then they could have worked to accelerate their own mission to the Moon, aiming for that prize which still stood unclaimed. Thus, to logical people, there is no doubt that, on July 20th 1969, the Apollo 11 mission of the NASA space agency of the United States of America successfully landed two men on the surface of the Moon, and then brought them safely back home to Earth.

'The Moon Race round was one of their most hotly contested; and when the United States won that round, if it had cheated, does anyone think that the Soviet Union would not have cried foul!'

WRONG. JUST PLAIN NOT TRUE.

Both the United States and Soviet Union were, and still are, controlled by Jews.

To understand what happens in the world, you need to know that

Bush, Blair, Obama, Putin, Merkel, Sarkozy, Harper, Howard, Rudd and most other leaders are (covert) Jews.

See for yourself (PHOTOS):

And while you are looking,... try this 2.2 MB mega-photo of Rabbis and politicians:

Although not included in the photos,... Obama is also a Jew.

For those poor deluded souls who believe all they are told,...

Explain why the rocket engine has not blown away the dust under (and around) the 'lunar lander'.

You know, the thick dust that the actors left their footprints in,...

You know, the thick dust in, e.g., this NASA photograph:

LINK www .hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a11/AS11-40-5917.jpg (remove space)

LINK cleveland.indymedia.org/uploads/2009/06/nasa-as11-40-5917.jpg (smaller)

This is just one example. There are hundreds of such pictures.

Another thing to think about: Why do you think the 'lunar lander' weighing about 6,500 kgs (after using much of its fuel) doesn't leave any visible footprint.

Don't you think that the impact of a 6.5 tonne object that has just dropped 'out of the sky' would leave some sort of visible footprint?

Not only didn't the 'lunar lander' sink into the dust,... it actually seems to be sitting above the dust level. Have a look.

On Earth, the lunar lander rocket engine was rated at:

44,000 Newtons = 4,500 kgf (10,000 lbf).

On the Moon, with one sixth Earth's gravity, this corresponds to:

6 x 44,000 = 264,000 Newtons = 27,000 kgf (60,000 lbf),

since gravity and friction are one sixth that of Earth.

So, to see what effect the lunar lander rocket's would have on the Moon, we need to observe an engine that can put out 264,000 Newtons.

A Boeing 747 Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7R4G2 jet engine is rated at:

240,000 Newtons = 25,000 kgf (54,750 lbf),

which is not quite, but nearly as powerful. So, on the Moon, the lunar lander rocket would be slightly more powerful than this Boeing 747 engine is, on Earth.

To see what such a jet engine (at not much over idle, since the plane does not move) does to a car that gets in caught in its exhaust, watch the animated GIF or video found at:

LINK guardian.ifastnet.com/pentagon/small/jet-blast.htm

I reckon that would move a bit of dust.

What do you think?

So, if (on the Moon) the lander rocket was laid on its side, fired up, and the same car as in the animation/video, is pulled in front of it, then the lander rocket would toss it slightly further than the Boeing 747 engine did on Earth. This is simply because everything weighs one sixth what it does on Earth.

(Note that since on the Moon, all the forces involved are one sixth those on Earth, the car would be tossed slightly further, but this would occur at one sixth the speed, just like, free-falling on the Moon takes six times as long.)

Clearly, while landing, the lunar lander rocket would have removed every last speck of dust in the area.

Clearly, the Moon landing was one giant HOAX.
