The Mars rover Opportunity was supposed to last three months. It’s now going on Nine Years. It’s proved so durable that in 2011 it was essentially sent on a whole new mission. Opportunity reached a multi-year driving destination, Endeavour Crater, in August 2011. At Endeavour’s rim, it has gained access to geological deposits from an earlier period of Martian history than anything it examined during its first seven years. It also has begun an investigation of the planet’s deep interior that takes advantage of staying in one place for the Martian winter. Opportunity landed in Eagle Crater on Mars on Jan. 25, 2004, Universal Time and EST (Jan. 24, PST), three weeks after its rover twin, Spirit, landed halfway around the planet. In backyard-size Eagle Crater, Opportunity found evidence of an ancient wet environment. The mission met all its goals within the originally planned span of three months. During most of the next four years, it explored successively larger and deeper craters, adding evidence about wet and dry periods from the same era as the Eagle Crater deposits. In mid-2008, researchers drove Opportunity out of Victoria Crater, half a mile (800 meters) in diameter, and set course for Endeavour Crater, 14 miles (22 kilometers) in diameter. “Endeavour is a window further into Mars’ past,” said Mars Exploration Rover Program Manager John Callas, of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The trek took three years. In a push to finish it, Opportunity drove …

Red Ice Radio – Peter Levenda – Secret Space Program & NASA’s Nazis
Peter Levenda is an author who focuses primarily on occult history. Peter has visited more than 40 countries and gained access to temples, prisons, military installations, and government documents for his research. He is president of the international division of a telecommunications company and the author of Unholy Alliance. Peter Levenda’s quest for the truth began in 1979 while reading Aftermath: Martin Bormann and the Fourth Reich, by Ladislas Farago, about how Hitler’s former Riechsleiter had escaped to South America after the war pretending to be a priest, protected by the “underground railroad” of Nazi sympathizers that operated and still operate all over that continent. In this program, he discusses his work and research on the theme of the secret space program of NASA and the connection to the occult agenda of the Nazis. Peter details how the background of this philosophy spawned from people involved in various Catholic orders, adopted and refined by the Nazis and later it transitioned over to NASA via Project Paperclip. In his book “Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement with the Occult” he describes this research in detail. He is also the author of the “Sinister Forces Triology”, “Stairway to Heaven: Chinese Alchemists, Jewish Kabbalists, and the Art of Spiritual Transformation” and “The Secret Temple: Masons, Mysteries, and the Founding of America”. Topics Discussed: America, Nazi connections, Ratlines, Klaus Barbie, Martin Bormann, Walter Dornberger …
