More Lies From NASA: Media Mayhem From the Alleged Space Agency
7 Aug 15
A compilation of NASA propaganda. There is a lot of NASA in the news, and a lot of it just doesn’t add up.
Let me give you another Earth. Yup, a whole new planet. Of course, there are conditions. We don’t really know what the atmosphere is like. We’re not totally sure about temperatures. Don’t ask about the geology or oceans. As for it being inhabited or inhabitable, we can’t really say.
That’s the scenario that played out in July this year when NASA announced the discovery of Kepler 452b, a planet that has some measurable properties consistent with our own. Media reports around the world advertised it as Earth 2.0. Soon after the story broke, this analyst was taking questions from reporters on a prominent news channel. What was life like on this planet? The anchorwoman was stunned when it was explained that we didn’t even know if the planet could support life, let alone know of any life that was there.
This scenario has played itself out too often, with other recently discovered exoplanets. It has also happened too much with Mars exploration. NASA does marvelous things with science, but it completely oversells the results.
It’s a tough world out there. You need to show a return on your investment. Those who return the greatest bounty receive the best treatment. Those who don’t sometimes lose everything. Science is caught up in this vicious cycle, and such events can be found well beyond NASA. They sometimes produce outright scientific fraud. This is not to suggest that any of NASA’s scientific work is illegitimate, but NASA’s beatups of real scientific results are discrediting the fine work that the agency and its associates regularly accomplish.
