NASA has been responsible for some of the most significant space exploration missions in history, including the Apollo missions, the Space Shuttle program, and the International Space Station. We have a wide range of topics related to NASA, including space exploration, planetary science, astrophysics, aeronautics, and more. Delve into the history of NASA and the people who have made it the incredible organization it is today.
When a leak was first found aboard the Russian Soyuz spacecraft docked to the International Space Station (ISS), it was suspected a meteorite had struck the craft and punctured the hull. Russian space chief Dmitry Rogozin yesterday reversed the meteorite theory and said the leak found aboard the vehicle was almost certainly caused by a…
It hasn’t made it into the popular news channels much which is puzzling because the device, and its mission, is so very, very cool. On August 12, 2018, NASA will launch the Parker Solar Probe, a car-sized spacecraft with a mission to examine the Sun’s corona. It’s no small feat and will require the probe…
Authorities and residents near Bedminister, New Jersey, location of President Donald Trump’s prestigious golf club, were sent into a state of panic on August 7, 2018 after an odd-looking package dropped from the sky and landed near 147 New Road in Kendail. The package was attached to a parachute and made an unusual hissing sound…
We’ve spotted a lot of weird stuff on Mars but this one is particularly enticing. In the NASA JPL photo above, noticed the unusually-shaped object near the bottom of the outcrop of rocks. Here’s a zoomed version of the photo.
Paranormal Crucible published an interesting video this week in which they analyze a NASA Mars photo that they claim captures an alien wearing a high-tech spacesuit. The petrified statuette appears to be holding a weapon of some sort too.
Frames from a video of the spectacular SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket explosion at Cape Canaveral on September 1, 2016 captured an “anomaly” that many suspect may have caused the detonation of the rocket and destruction of its communications satellite payload. In the video frames, which came from a high-speed video source near the launch pad,…
A sungrazer comet (technically known as Kreutz sungrazers) crashed into the sun on August 4, 2016 and lucky for us, the entire event was captured on video by NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). Analysis of the video shows the comet plunged into the sun at a mind-boggling 373 miles per second!
The enigmatic propulsion system known as EmDrive was designed in 2001 by Roger Shawyer. A short time after its development, chemical engineer Guido Fetta designed a similar mechanism he called the Cannae Drive (or Q-Drive). Both systems were considered scientifically implausible and disregarded by scientists who noted that the propulsion system violated one of physics…
Pictures of solar flares are remarkably fascinating – and common. NASA publishes new pictures of solar flares on a near-weekly basis. However, researchers have taken a closer look at the pictures and discovered something unusual – an object which looks oddly solid that seems to be orbiting around the Sun, just outside its transition region.…
The Black Knight satellite is a near-polar orbiting object that many believe is a 13,000-year-old alien artifact lurking in the solar system. Its existence was first suggested after radio signal experiments in the late 1800’s detected inexplicable “echoes” in space. In the decades that followed, photographs and video of the amorphous black object emerged showing…

Books from Geek Slop Publishing
Living Truth Bible Study Guides
Despite its beautiful prose, you can’t just read Revelation; it requires diligent study. However, ineffective study techniques can lead to misunderstandings. Rather than imposing strict interpretations on the described events, use the concepts we present as a framework for understanding its intricate code. The Book of Revelation indeed provides more than just a foretelling of the tumultuous end of days. It reassures Christians that divine justice will ultimately triumph over evil and promises Jesus' eventual return as the rightful king of the world.
Chronicles of Enigma
While science and reason often seek to illuminate the unknown, there remains a certain allure in the unexplained—a realm where imagination and reality blur, creating a tapestry rich with wonder and possibility. Stories from the Chronicles of Enigma series endure not just as relics of the past, but as gateways to exploring the depths of our curiosity and the infinite potential of our world. Let us be the light that guides you through the darkness.
