NASA and China are making ambitious plans to go to the moon?and now Russia, Japan and India are too. In fact, since NASA is not scheduled to return to the moon until 2018, India, China and Japan will probably get there FIRST. Once everyone arrives, will they all cooperate in scooping up the valuable Helium 3 fuel from the surface–or will this mean war?

The surface of the moon is now being mapped by satellite sensors, which are looking for polar ice. It will be much easier to set up moon mines if water can be tapped.

One of the biggest problems that the countries planning moon trips are going to encounter?besides the need for water?is shielding their bases from asteroid impacts, since absorbing these blows is one of the major things the moon does to protect the earth.

In the New Scientist, Kelly Young reports that during the Apollo missions to the moon, around 40 years ago, NASA left four seismometers there, so we?ve been able to measure the number of space rock impacts. Since the last Apollo mission in 1977, the moon has absorbed 12,000 seismic blows. NASA has tested its seismometers by intentionally crashing dead and obsolete satellites into the moon’s surface.

First congress passed a bill saying that pharmacists could refuse to fill prescriptions for things, like birth-control pills, that went against their religious convictions. Then they banned a vaccine that would prevent cervical cancer, since it might contribute to women having pre-martial sex (as if they weren’t doing that already).

This week’s Dreamland guest, Starfire Tor, has amassed years of evidence that suggest that she may be a time traveler from the future. Modern physics says that time travel is by no means impossible. If the future has become able to do this, it could be sending people back to its own past, which would be our present. Whitley thinks that the Master of the Key may have been such a person.

Magician Brandon Scott, who has time traveled with Starfire, will be on Coast to Coast AM on Wednesday, May 10.
