NASA | Lighting the Sky: NASA's ATREX Mission Launches

Показать описание
NASA successfully launched five suborbital sounding rockets this morning
from its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia as part of a study of the upper
level jet stream. The first rocket was launched at 4:58 a.m. EDT and each
subsequent rocket was launched 80 seconds apart. Each rocket released a
chemical tracer that created milky, white clouds at the edge of space.
Tracking the way the clouds move can help scientists understand the movement
of the winds some 65 miles up in the sky, which in turn will help create
better models of the electromagnetic regions of space that can damage
man-made satellites and disrupt communications systems. The launches and
clouds were reported to be seen from as far south as Wilmington, N.C.; west
to Charlestown, W. Va.; and north to Buffalo, N.Y.

Can someone answer a question? I'm a medical professional, not an engineer... How big/small are these rockets and how did they manage to equip them with enough fuel to reach escape velocity?

Cool!
Now I want to see what this looks like from the ISS (space station) or a SAT.

to justify the waste
for a taste of man's greatest adventure

Breath that Aluminum now and expect more ATREX's from now on since they realized that chems are not working fast enough..
Just keep breathing while you're watching the fireworks !

I don't understand why people need to make up stories, like about 'Nibiru', the truth is more than adequate to satiate my interest!

I really wish the main stream media would cover this more, if at all. (I haven't seen any of them say a word about it.) So that more people would know what's going on, so they don't jump to conclusions and blindly listen to nut jobs.

if commenting i'm sure youtube would allow links here..
the missiles contained Aluminum particles and this is official(.gov)
now, the connections to chemtrails or the effect of Aluminum on our brains is not something i can prove or preach about! YOU do the research, you are not my responsibility. Peace (hah, doubt it!)

Seriously, at least their pollution actually helps give us an idea of WTF we're doing to ourselves in the long run... Try bitching at industrial sex toy manufacture instead... ugh, though I suppose they're giving us an idea of what we're doing to ourselves in the long run too...
