Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Dear SAMVA friends: Back on July 2nd, our dear Shayn Smith, the IIPA-Colorado chapter president, posted an email about the Space Shuttle Discovery, indicating the difficulty of the chart for the moment of the launch. The following is an email I also sent to my private email list, and to NASA, in the hopes that the launch can be delayed. Dear Friends: As many of you know, there is a chart (horoscope) for every minute of the day, and any chart can be examined to see if the planets are strong or weak. If the chart is strong, then the event associated with the chart, such as marriage, a new business, the life of a child, etc. is likely to be more successful. On the other hand, if the chart is weak, then the event is likely to be unsuccessful, and the marriage ends in divorce, the business goes bankrupt and the child has a difficult life. In view of this, several of us astrologers practicing Systems' Approach to Vedic astrology are concerned about the launching of the Space Shuttle Discovery, which is due to launch on July 13, at 3:51 p.m. from Cape Canaveral, Florida. In viewing the horoscope for the time of the launch, we find quite a number of serious problems with the chart. This can indicate a delay, unsuccessful launch, or even a disaster. Here are the main points: The chart has a Libra rising sign, at 27:13 degrees. Venus, ruling the chart, is at 24:57 degrees, conjunct the twelfth ruler, Mercury (indicating loss), at 23:12 degrees. Moreover, both Venus and Mercury are under the close aspect affliction of Rahu at 23:45 degrees, operating out of the inauspicious sixth house, of fire, conflict, and enemies. The dispositor (landlord) for Venus, Mercury, and Saturn (ruling the fifth house of investments), is Moon, which is placed in the twelfth house of loss, and which is ruled by the afflicted Mercury (ruling communications). Mars, ruling the seventh house of partnerships, is badly placed in the sixth house and is closely conjunct Rahu and afflicted by both Rahu and Ketu. Sun, ruling government and the eleventh house of gains, is weak in old age. Jupiter, ruling the third house of initiatives and entrepreneurial activities, is badly placed in the twelfth house of losses. In other words, all of the planets range from being weak, to being badly placed, to being afflicted. The main period ruler (general trend) is the badly placed Moon in the twelfth house of loss. The operating planet, Mercury, rules the twelfth house of loss, and is the most malefic planet for the chart; and is under the close affliction of Rahu. The situation is extremely difficult. Personally, I hope that the launch is delayed or postponed. Otherwise, there may be a major problem for the crew, and there will not be a safe and successful mission. I am also sending copy of this email to NASA in the hopes that it will be received and seriously considered. May our prayers and best wishes protect these dear astronauts and their families.

Second St., Fairfield, IA 52556 USA641-472-3799www.astroview.com CAPE CANAVERAL – The countdown is on for the space shuttle Discovery and seven astronauts who, if all goes well, will be NASA’s first shuttle astronauts to reach space in since January 2003. At precisely 6:00 p.m. EDT (2200 GMT) Sunday, NASA began counting the days, minutes and seconds remaining before Discovery’s STS-114 mission is expected to launch into space. The spaceflight is currently scheduled to liftoff on July 13 at 3:51 p.m. EDT (1951 GMT) from Launch Pad 39B here at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Cape Canaveral, Florida. “We’re getting excited about the upcoming flight,” said STS-114 commander Collins after arriving here Saturday. “We’re anticipating about what it’s going to be like getting the shuttle back in space again.” Collins and her STS-114 crewmates are the first shuttle astronauts set to ride a NASA orbiter spaceward since the ill-fated flight of STS-107 aboard Columbia. Columbia's mission, which launched on Jan. 16, 2003, ended in tragedy when the orbiter broke apart during reentry, leaving no survivors. Wing damage, caused at liftoff by a chunk of loose external tank foam, breached Columbia’s protective thermal protection system and allowed hot gases into the orbiter’s left wing, destroying the spacecraft. Discovery’s external tank has been modified not only to prevent the type of foam debris that struck Columbia, but also to reduce the formation of ice on the tank’s exterior. NASA has added heaters to replace foam insulation on the external tank’s bipod fitting – where the chunk that doomed Columbia originated – and along a bellows unit that flexes in response to the tank’s supercold propellant. “We are finally here, we’re ready to go,” said Sandy Coleman, NASA’s external tank project manager, during a press briefing today. “The external tank is certified.” Discovery’s STS-114 mission is a 12-day test flight bound for the International Space Station (ISS), where the shuttle crew will deliver a cargo module full of supplies and conduct three spacewalks. The shuttle astronauts will also test a new orbital boom to scan Discovery for damage and test repair techniques for fixing heat-resistant tiles and reinforced carbon carbon panels. “Sheer excitement is the best way to explain it,” Stephanie Stilson, Discovery’s vehicle manager told SPACE.com. “It’s seems like it's a little unreal, I want to pinch myself to see if we really are as close [to launch] as we are now.” While Stilson and her entire vehicle team are excited for Discovery’s spaceflight, they will keep a close eye on the orbiter’s systems as launch day nears. “We’ll be watching things very closely,” Stilson said. “I don’t think we’ve ever had a launch countdown that didn’t have something that you had to go in and fix or check out or take a second look at.” Over the next several days, launch officials will take a series of critical steps to prepare Discovery for flight. On July 11 at about 2:00 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT), pad engineers will begin loading the hypergolic reactants Discovery will use during its spaceflight. The protective rotating service structure covering the orbiter is set to be swung back on July 12 at 7:00 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT). Technicians are expected to begin loading Discovery’s external tank with the liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellant at 6:00 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) on July 13. “Currently we’re tracking no issues at all as far as preparations go,” NASA test director Jeff Spaulding said during a morning countdown update.
