Science Fact or Fiction - Charmain Ingleton

The question is, “Would you like a one-way ticket to Mars?” I understand that scientists plan to send humans to Mars.  The fact that it’s a one-way ticket excites but also scares me. To be one of the first human settlers on Mars would be a truly amazing experience that you’d never forget. But remember, you can’t come back! In my younger year’s I would’ve jumped at the chance to go into space and be one of the first settlers on Mars. However, the reality is that once the astronauts (settlers) arrive on Mars, they’ll have to live, work and survive together under whatever circumstances they find themselves in, forever and ever (so, you’ve got no chance of changing your job title) . Will it be easy for them to adapt to a totally different planet? No one knows… They’d also have to be psychologically ready for any challenges that they may find; in particular, if another species already habitat Mars! But, if another species habitat Mars, will they accept the human invader...

The question is, “Where’s The Black Pyramid?” I read an article about a missing black pyramid. In Gaza three pyramids stand but actually there should be four. The fourth was described as being of black stone that was harder than granite. Notes and drawings done in the 1700s by Frederic Norden showed a map of pharaonic monuments which was published in a tome entitled, Voyage d1Egypte et de Nuble. So, what happened to this black pyramid of Gaza? It’s a mystery even today, for how could such a large structure be moved. My theory, is that this black pyramid was an actual alien spacecraft in disguise and the reason it’s no longer in Gaza is that it’s no longer on Earth! But hey, I’m no archaeologist, it’s just a theory. What do you think?    Author: Charmain Ingleton www.thewalkways.co.uk

The question is, “What’s an exoplanet?” An exoplanet is the name given, to planets that orbit stars other than the sun that are outside of the solar system. Thousands of exoplanets that have been discovered by the Kepler space telescope over many years. They come in many sizes with different surfaces, for example, icy or rocky, etc. With 500 solar systems already found and new ones being discovered yearly, many more exoplanets will exist. I read an article that said we’d been searching for habited planets for four years. So, isn’t it possible that one will be found in the future? With so many exoplanets in the solar system, I don’t believe that not one of them isn’t habited. We rely too much on visual evidence, which I must point out does not mean that life doesn’t exist because we’re unable to see it with the Kepler space telescope... Also, just because a planet’s surface may not show life, that doesn’t mean that life doesn’t exist below the surface. Even on Earth, l...

The question is, “What Are Petroglyphs?” Petroglyphs are cryptic drawings. These ancient rock drawings were found in Valcamonica in Northern Italy and are believed to be 10,000 years old. They’re part of 200,000 others that are carved into the valley. What’s so amazing about these is that they show drawings of astronauts. Their helmets look illuminated, with each astronaut holding some type of device (that look similar to a mini-satellite dish). So, were these weapons of some sort? A device to collect data from the planet’s surface? Or a transmitter of some kind? It’s truly amazing, that our ancient ancestors had the foresight to carve out a time in history onto rocks. I’m fascinated by the drawings and what they represent; visitors from another world… So, is this proof that aliens visited Earth 10,000 years ago? If so, what happened to them? Where are they now?
