DXR88, PUH-LEAZE. He refuses to check the sources I give him and then denies the sources exist and you are supporting him? That in and of itself says quite a lot about you as well. I mean really, if you dont check the sources then how can you say they dont exist as he did?
But hey, far be it of me to break up your little circlejerk. And get your mind out of the gutter, this means a pompous, self-congratulatory discussion where little to no progress is made as you are in when you support people like him

Really amazing that you have the ability not to check but know it is wrong anyway isnt it? And as for you Jemborg, I stand by my statements.
See that's the problem.
If I posted this link
http://www.n2yo.com/satellites/?c=30
And this one
http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=36608
Those are the tracking of real Mil Sats from NASA, You could refute that page as being made up but then you'd be saying NASA doesn't exist etc.
I have post up info about real mil sats but all you posted up was party poker join up pages.
Are you sure... you even know what you linked to? I suppose not seeing as you think party poker join up pages some how show people what mil sats do and and the specs of them.
Also love the Cosmic Top secret tirade seeing as it's only for documents, and you have to be a 5-Star general or higher up to be able to get/see/read them.
People are checking, people are looking and getting party poker pages so most probably think your just scamming people.
Then to top it off,
I'll post up this page link which not only has some real info about the cameras but real photos that have been declassified, and you'll note that while a sat camera can get decent ground photos it can't show up super fine details, generally because your 100 miles away and telephoto lens just won't be able to make a 1000 miles seem like it's 1 foot away .
There are limits and this page also has photos from UAVs which show much closer views of targets and you'd understand straight away why they are used as well as the sats for info.

Jemborg...PUH-LEAZE, I gave you the name and the phone number to the US Air Force Source as well as the name of the maker of the sat and the specs of what it can be proven to do...and the best you can come up with is some fantasy TV Show?? How pathetic you are becoming.
And xtago? no disrespect but when you have the US Air Force (who use it) and the sat maker (who developed it and brought it to existence) say that this can do exactly what I said it can, then nothing you can show is going to prove otherwise
So xtago, let me see if I understand you. You say what I am saying just isnt true huh? Then I guess that you are denying these as well even though these were made in conjunction with the USAF/US Military/NASA and were classified by same until such time as they were found to have non-military?space uses. And do you actually think for one second that the US Government as well as the Military do not have these and have them three to five generations ahead of what you see printed here..in short far better then what you can know about or even see or purchase? If you say no, then you need far more help then can be given.
Computer Technology - NASA Spinoffs

Take this example. I take a photograph of a Animal a few hundred meters away with a 200mm lens. But I need to crop the image to get close enough to see the animal "close up" or I take the same animal using a 800mm or longer lens and what do think happens. Yep. I no longer need to crop the image to get in close. Effectively gaining resolution. In terms of whats actually possible a super telephoto lens of some 20000mm (yes that's 20 thousand ) or more is quite achievable and small enough to fit on a spy sat considering that you now can buy a 10.2 mp digital camera that has a built in 70X zoom lens for less then $50. that runs on batteries! Or you can buy a 1000x zoom lens for a digital camera. You now can buy a 1700mm telephoto lens for your digital hand held camera (http://www.gizmag.com/go/6147/) and you are trying to tell me and every else here that when you are looking at this for a civilian camera, as well as the British Press telling you about a lens that can see Big Ben from 50KM away, that a top secret spy sat from space cannot see you or your license plate or the dimples on a golf ball...are you seriously saying that?? you add a high pixel sensor to the mix lets say a 500 million pixel (150 million pixel sensors are already available to the public at "affordable" prices. But you can bet the US government will not settle fore some sensor that joe public can buy all be it a £25k+ price. Therefor it is possible to read a number plate from a spy satellite or the dimples on a golf ball. If that upsets you then so sad too bad, deal with it as this is a fact of life. Oh yea one more thing. Last week there was a BBC news report that the British army took delivery of a new super zoom camera for use in Afghanistan. It has the resolution to seen and read London's BIG BEN at over 50km away. So if that's the technology we know of then reading number plates from space is very much a reality. Its not that far up into space when you think about it. A spy satellite sitting 200 miles in orbit with a camera 4-5 as powerful zoom as the one the army use and it will read the number plates of a car or the dimples on a golf ball with ease. just look at how powerful the compact digital cameras are today and some hit as high as 15 to 20mp for use by a civilian. And you know damn well that the US and British Governments have that beat by a long shot.
Therefor xtago, to deny what these top of the line sat's can do is just not very smart.

Dan you are a benighted fool.
Whatever idjut, atmospheric interference will screw with your naive magical expectations every time. You've demonstrated time and time again your ignorance of basic science.
Btw, knucklehead, if a mod catches you posting a wall of irrelevant cutpasta text you might be in grief.

You don't understand what you write.
If you looked at the description of the last two USA Mil Sats, you'll see they have no cameras at all and simply have radars, because these 2 Sats are for "birth to death" tracking.
What that means if North Korea launch a missile then these 2 Sats can track the launch site and then track the missile as it's flying and can tell if it hits the ground or dies in the sky etc.
The difference in the Sat photos and UAV photos on the page I linked to, show the limits of what a Sat can show compared to a UAV.
If there's a building sure you can zoom to say 150 meters above the ground but photos can become blurry as shown, so they also use IR cameras which give the heights of objects and you can create a photo type image from the IR data.
As for the Spin-Offs, some aren't even developed by NASA and were around before NASA even existed.
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS - All Smelters do this, even the Titanic had Structural Analysis done on the metal.
WINDOWS VISUAL NEWS READER (Win Vn) - This would be a MS program, then again sound like UNIX workstations.
AIR QUALITY MONITOR - Miners used to use a cannery for this.
RIBBED SWIMSUIT - Australia developed these swim suites with Speedo, in fact they let everyone use the old design to see what would happen time wise, because they have a new, better design due to come out at London.
I'll give you a real example.
See "NASA's Developed" RamJet rocket system that's going to be used in the new space shuttle design, That was invented by a 25 year old at QUT in Australia, He has built a RamJet rocket in the engineering building at QUT, I've met the guy and seen his ramjet working, and last year tested it at Woomera in SA Australia.
http://www.pri.org/theworld/?q=node/5163
http://www.pri.org/theworld/?q=node/5163&answer=true
It used to be larger than what it says on those pages, used to go right out to the sea, now, it's only in-land.
NASA Generally get offered stuff to check out if they like it they pay for further design or for production, and get the rights to the tech.
The whole reason why NASA haven't done long term space travel etc unlike the Russians which have the record at 3-4 years in space, is that NASA can't design a water/mould removing system and the Russians have but NASA don't want to use it and would rather spend billions on a system.

Since Obama has changed NASA's top priority from space exploration to Islam for reasons I completely don't understand I guess the space race may be over as far as the US is concerned. See here: http://yesbuthowever.com/nasa-chief-819050/ I don't see where this thread can possible go from here. Someone should probably kill it. Things are just being rehashed.

Thank you for an entertaining series of comments, I have been in the habit of reading the articles and skipping the comments without realising the struggles going on in the depths beneath. Never again! I will always check the comments in future in the hope of similar entertainment. Never in my life have I seen so many irrelevant "proofs" of a position.
As for the movie I almost abandoned it after the first 15 minutes but struggled on to the end and it did improve somewhat. I couldn't recommend it to anyone and this is why it didn't take off in the box office, put simply too few word of mouth recommendations.
Personally I would have shot the hero myself as a danger not only to himself but to everyone around him.

I stand by my statements and so do my sources. As thomas jefferson said "When the facts prove my beliefs are wrong, I change my mind accordingly. What exactly do YOU do sir?" The facts have proven you wrong, you know the next step...
Oh and BTW, not one of any of the "sources" that have tried to be used to disprove mine, have ever come from the US Pentagon or the USAF, the same people who use these spy sats. Not to mention that most of your self same sources denied the existence of the SR-71 blackbird stealth bomber and fighter...right up to the time that it rolled in front of the camera and then they had to eat a massive helping of crow. And if I was to tell you that in the near future that human parts for transplant would be able to be made from your own cells in a modified computer printer, you would also try and say that I am not telling the truth. Guess you had better check the Discovery Channel's program 2057 where they not only tell you this, but show you which University s leading the way in doing exactly that!
My whole point is just because YOU say it does not exist or cant happen does not mean that it does not actually exist. Remember, science says the bumble bee cannot fly, but no one told the bee that.

Daniel_1, the sr-71 was never a stealth bomber nor a fighter. it was the cancelled yf-12a that was being developed as a interceptor. know your facts before shooting your mouth off next time. now then lets stay on topic!!!

LOL
Dan, that stuff about the printer and human cells... did you only just hear about that? That's years old apart from irrelevant... Well, I guess that really is the proof that we at AD are all circle-jerking pirates who will inevitably get our comeuppance at the hands the FBI and Interpol etc. using ultra area 51 tech. Yep, they came and got me yesterday in their Pentagon/NASA issued TURDIS only the time stream hasn't caught up with me yet so I don't know it!
Its a lot easier being righteous than right.

DXR88 and Jemborg...PUH-LEAZE. All this was to show you exactly how little you actually know and how much you claim does not exist yet in fact it clearly does. If you only knew half..even 1/10th of what my cosmic security clearance allows me to know you would blow a blood vessel. Sonic guns...oh wait, you can read about them in use for crowd control. Laser weapons in a hand held for use on the battle field. A star trek transporter in development http://www.independent.co.uk/news/scienc...ser-451673.html or star trek deflector shields in development for our space craft http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/Science-Fi...sp?NewsNum=1012 or even ion propulsion engines that can come close to the speed of light already being tested http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/ion/ and the links I provided show a small amount of stuff that people like you are ALLOWED to know about at the present time. And yet you two ignorants still refuse to believe there are things that you dont know about as you dont have the clearance to know about them. In short you two are living proof of the saying that you cannot see the forest for the trees. And since ignorance is bliss, you two must be the most blissful people on the planet.

A lot of this stuff is old news though and most are simply ideas and don't have anything in production.
The Beam Transporters has been in the news papers since 2000, tested with fruits etc but can only send stuff a few meters though I last heard a couple of years ago they have been trying to beam rats.
That's been in development since 1995 even the US collage doesn't expect anything to be put into production for another 10 to 20 years.
star trek deflector shields as the page says is just an idea nothing more, though the space suites already do all the shielding anyway, you seem to think this stuff hasn't been thought of or had solutions already applied and working, thus making the need for reflector shields redundant anyway.
Even if NASA do send anyone to Mars those people won't be able to go onto the surface of the planet as your bones and joints spread out and those people would run the risk of falling over and having their limbs snap at every joint.
That's simply because no gravity can be produced easily.
The same problem for ion engines they don't use them as they can't provide enough fuel to power the ion engine for the length of time you need to get to the moon.
All your stuff is NASA but you also have the Russians which have nuke powered engines, in fact the Russians could make a space craft that could goto Mars or further right now but you have the gravity problem once again.
New stuff is getting made all over the world, no is discounting that, it's just that you think no one but you knows about this stuff and it seems you can't hack it when other people say "yeah I know old news isn't it"

Laugh all you want DXR88 but yet again here is proof that you are not as smart as you try and make yourself out to be, and are in fact quite clueless
Real-Life Laser Rifle: Army Goal
* By David Hambling Email Author

The Army is looking at its Plasma Acoustic Shield System as a checkpoint defender, for now. But the original idea ? and the long-term goal of the project ? is to have it be the first baby step towards a portable, lethal laser weapon.
Pelt2The effort, by the U.S. Army?s Advanced Energy Armaments Systems Division and Stellar Photonics, has a lot in common with another military laser project: the Pulsed Energy Projectile being developed by Mission Systems for the Marines. But there are three key differences. The current PEP is a big (450 lb) chemical laser with a limited number of shots, whereas PASS is a small solid-state laser that just needs electricity. The PEP creates plasma by vaporising the outer layer surface it hits (such as your shirt), whereas PASS can create plasma in mid-air by focusing to a point. And PEP fires a single pulse, whereas PASS uses a double pulse which Stellar claim is far more efficient at creating a shockwave.
You can get some idea from the Small Business Initiative Proposal the company submitted in ?04 for a "Man-portable Integrated Laser Assault Rifle":
These systems would be portable and lightweight; the battery operated solid state laser system would be comparable in size to the Armbrust and Dragon anti-tank systems, ?. The man-portable? weapons system is expected to be lethal in the range of 1-5 miles, due to the fact that no sharp focusing of the laser beam is required. Therefore, it is capable of engaging both short and long ranged targets of any kind, greatly increasing the engagement area of current assault rifles.
NOTE: The same system can also be used in non-lethal area denial to personnel applications. A pulse laser force field (shock wave) can be initiated instantaneously to prevent personnel from restricted areas.
Which all sounds good ? on paper. But solid-state lasers still don?t have the kind of power needed to meet these ambitious goals. At least $1.2 million was invested in this technology before it was diverted into the more modest PASS project. But the long-term aim is still to create smaller, and more powerful, pulsed laser weapons.
?As laser technology matures, we hope to eventually be at a 1 or 2 man-portable system,? says Keith Braun of the Army?s Advanced Energy Armaments Systems.
Interestingly, Stellar describes their efforts as ?bringing the power of Star Wars technology to the field, providing the needed heavy punch capability to the SOF [Special Operations Forces] at a relative low cost.? It?s an Army program, but Special Forces Command have elsewhere expressed an interest in pulsed plasma laser weapons for lethal and nonlethal uses. It?s not impossible that there is more going on here than is visible from the surface and there are other more secret programs.
The developers see the possibility of dual lethal/nonlethal capability as a major benefit.
"I?ve talked to a lot of the guys in green," says Braun, "the one thing they want other than more time at home and a pay raise is a system that offers primarily less than lethal effects with the option to flip a switch and ?go lethal? should things escalate to that level. Hopefully, we are on the way to getting that to them."
As a lethal system, a laser sniper rifle would be a formidable weapon: perfect accuracy at any a range measured in miles, with no windage, no drop, and no need to allow for target movement. And it would not give the firer?s position away with a report, smoke or muzzle flash ? all the enemy would see would be the effect when it hits the target. Although it would have little impact on armor, it would be useful against most other targets including aircraft and helicopters.
High-energy, continuous-beam laser weapon systems like the Airborne Laser rely on massive amounts of energy to burn through the target. Short pulse lasers can do the job with much less energy, by creating an intense shockwave focused on a small area. They may also be able to create significant electro-magnetic pulse effects, and there has been work on tuning these to stun or paralyze humans.
Can a lethal laser be made small enough to be portable, including the power supply? Not this year, and maybe not in five years. But the signs are that it?s certainly coming.

As I said, these are in development. Yet again this clearly shows that you have no bloody idea what the he11 you are talking about
And xtago, you dont think for one second that Russia or China is going to allow the US to have something in their military arsenal that they dont have...do you? Hence the links to show that these ARE in production and will be given to the soldiers, take for instance the M307 Airburst Weapons System; which can fire over the tops of walls and hills and destroy the enemy behind same http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/m307.htm
Again, just because YOU dont know about it does not mean that it does not exist or is in operation. Same with the spy sats. I have given you proof via the British Press, that there IS a lens that allows a person to read the Big Ben clock from 50KM away, that there IS a lens that gives you 1700x zoom thus allowing you to zero in on a single flea on a dogs butt at 1 mile away and even you have to admit that if this tech is available to you to buy then the world governments can and do have the same items three to five generations ahead of this. Just like you are using the internet with at best maybe a 8 to 15mbps speed...yet the US colleges and universities today as well as military and medical centers like Johns-Hopkins and the Cleveland Clinic; have a 1 to 10 GBPS transfer rate which means a surgeon in NY can instruct an operation in LA just like they were there with no lag. You cannot deny this as here is your proof http://tsunami-udp.sourceforge.net/ and yet again http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob...65efae47db79559 You dont believe this is possible, then contact the Cleveland Clinic or Johns-Hopkins and ask them yourself.
As I aid, it seems that there is only one person here that knows what they are talking about and that sadly is myself as the rest of you seemingly cannot grasp the simple fact that just because you dont know about it, does not mean it does not exist.
