I Am A Prepper Like Many With No Professional Background Many in the emergency preparedness community benefit from a professional background in law enforcement or the military. Most do not. I always appreciate when preppers that have professional experience chime in with their suggestions and advice. It is greatly appreciated. I myself do not have any of that experience and anything I can learn from those that do is very helpful. The issue with some of these skills regarding self defense‚ medical‚ gardening‚ communications and anything else more advanced is that they have to be practiced. Storing away surplus supplies is really only limited by affordability and space. The skills required to do it are very basic. But the skills to use specialized equipment require practice‚ professional training and repetition. Which is why I do what I can with what I have. Like I said‚ I am like most of you. Just doing my best to be ready for whatever comes our way. ☢ For more information on SHTF prepping‚ community networking and for ways to support the channel‚ check out: https://www.MagicPrepper.com 📸 insta : https://www.instagram.com/magicprepper/ 🔐 To gain access to exclusive content‚ direct communication with MP and preparedness incentives‚ please consider joining my SubscribeStar page for $5 a month here: https://www.subscribestar.com/magic-prepper 🥩 If you’re interested in extremely high quality freeze-dried beef options to supplement your emergency food supply with‚ then please consider visiting: Magic Prepper Beef | https://www.MagicPrepperBeef.com Your Premier Source for Long-Term Survival Beef Enhance Your Preparedness: Stock up with Premium‚ Shelf-Stable Beef.

When I heard about this I felt an amused twinge of envy. Over the last year I have been using an unimpressive 4G broadband service and at best get 20 Mbps‚ NASA’s Psyche mission has STILL been getting 23 Mbps at 225 million km away&;#33; It’s all thanks to the prototype optical transmission system employed on the probe. It means it can get up to 100 times more data transmission rate than usual radio.  NASA’s Pysche mission is on its way to explore the metal rich asteroid between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called‚ not surprisingly Psyche. The intriguing thing about the asteroid is that it seems to be the iron rich core of an unformed planet. The spacecraft carried a wealth of scientific instruments to explore the asteroid including an imaging rig‚ gamma ray and neutron spectrometer‚ magnetometer and an X-band Gravity platform.  It began its two year journey on 13 October with its destination‚ a tiny world that may help us unravel some of the mysteries of the formation of our Solar System. The theory that Psyche is a failed planetary core is not certain so this will be one of the first of its mission objectives; is it simply unmelted metal or was it a core. In order to understand this it’s necessary to work out its age. Secondary to the origin‚ other objectives are to explore the composition and its topography across the surface.  Asteroid Psuche was discovered in March 1852 by Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis. Because he discovered it‚ he was allowed to name it and settled on Psyche after the Greek goddess of the soul. It orbits the Sun at a distance of between 378 million to 497 million kilometres and takes about 5 Earth years to complete an orbit. Shaped like a potato‚ or perhaps more accurately classed as ‘irregular’ it is actually a little ellipsoid in shape measuring 280 km across wide at its widest part and 232 km across long.  Illustration of the metallic asteroid Psyche.

The newly developed Deep Space Optical Communications technology (DSOC) is not the primary communications platform but it is there as a prototype.  The optical system which relies upon laser technology successfully sent back engineering data at a distance of 226 million kilometres. Perhaps more impressively though‚ the spacecraft has shown that it can transmit at a rate of 267 Mbps (YES you read that right‚ just over quarter of a Gbps&;#33;) The impressive download speed was achieved on 11 December last year when a 15 second ultra high definition video was sent to Earth. Sadly though‚ as the spacecraft recedes‚ its data transmission capability will reduce. Still far better than normal radio communications though.  Using a powerful modulated laser‚ the Optical Communication Telescope Laboratory in California will be able to send data at a low rate to Psyche. To receive data‚ a photon counting receiver has been installed at the Caltech Palomar Observatory to pickup information sent by the spacecraft. Communication has always been a great challenge in space exploration and‚ whilst we cannot reduce transit time for data‚ we can improve the amount of data sent at any one time. A great step forward in space exploration.  Source : NASA’s Optical Comms Demo Transmits Data Over 140 Million Miles The post Psyche is Still Sending Data Home at Broadband Speeds appeared first on Universe Today.

It's complicated.

An enduring mystery.

The following article‚ Dearborn Imam Claims Pro-Israelis Are a Danger to Humanity‚ was first published on Conservative Firing Line. The twisted thinking of radical Muslims is on full display in Dearborn‚ Michigan at nearly every moment of the day. But more than shouting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” now they have Dearborn Imam (Dr) Baqir Berry claiming that Jews and Zionists are a “danger to humanity.” Such rhetoric is not just antisemitic‚ … Continue reading Dearborn Imam Claims Pro-Israelis Are a Danger to Humanity ...
