Rockets Into To Space-The Edge of Space

Today on Discovery Enterprise we honour the space visionary Robert H. Goddard. He has been called the father of modern rocketry. In 1926 he successfully lunch the first liquid fuel rocket. He was convinced with such a vehicle man would be able to fly into outer space. Working alone Goddard continued his experiments in New Mexico. His rockets became bigger and flew higher. He was a true visionary of space travel. But at the same time scientist in Nazi Germany were building a rocket that was far superior then any of Goddards design. However it wasnt a tool of space exploration but of destruction. The V2 missile, Hitlers vengeance weapon. Some 3,000 V2s would be launch against cities in Europe and Britain in WW II. The dream of space travel had become a nightmare.

The Atomic Submarine (1959): Undersea Science Fiction

Something mysterious and alien lurks beneath the waves of our oceans and threatens the collective security of every man, woman and child of our planet.

In the “far and distant future” of 1968, many ships and planes are crossing the North Pole to transport passengers and cargo. Now, more than eight ships and seven submarines have vanished mysteriously. The Atomic Submarine Tigershark is sent out to investigate their whereabouts and – if possible – remove the cause of their disappearance. But the life form Commander Vandover and his crew encounter may be too powerful even for their weapons of newest technology…

This is the one of the first science fiction films to deal with Deep Sea UFOs or UNIDENTIFIED SUBMERGED OBJECTS (USOs) as they have become known.

Rudd’s Christmas gift: higher taxes

The Howard government was able to provide income tax cuts virtually every year after the budget went into surplus. Thanks Rudd’s big government we will be getting tax increases instead:

ACROSS-THE-BOARD income tax cuts are off Labor’s agenda as the Henry review looks instead to ease the burden on individual taxpayers by simplifying returns and reducing churn in the tax and family payment systems.

The compromise at the heart of the report now in the hands of Wayne Swan marks the first occasion that a major tax reform will not be accompanied by tax cuts for all.

The budget cannot afford them for at least six years.

Don’t let anyone tell you leaving the tax  brackets unchanged isn’t a tax increase either, bracket creep will mean we  will all end up paying more.

Questions to my Labor voting libertarian readers, missing Howard yet?
