NASA’s Experiments Now Underway on ISS
Prepare the Way for Moon/Mars Colonization
by Kesha Rogers
"The spectacular launch to the
International Space Station on Sunday November 15, of the Crew-1,
Resilience Mission from Cape Canaveral’s Pad 39A in Florida, aboard a
SpaceX Crew Dragon Rocket generated international excitement. It
involved a four person crew: Astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor
Glover, Shannon Walker, and JAXA Japanese Partner Astronaut, Soichi
Noguchi. The Crew-1 docked to Station following a 27.5 hour flight.
The mission took place on the Anniversary of another historic mission
in space flight, the launch of Expedition 1, 20 years ago to the
International Space Station. For 20 years, these missions have been
“advancing humanity by using the space station to learn how to explore
farther than ever before, while also conducting research and
technology demonstrations benefiting life back on Earth.”" Learn more >>>
Donald Trump is the President of the
United States. On Friday, the President continued to show that the
time-hallowed “independence of the Federal Reserve” is something he is
quite willing to encroach on, and quite transparently. In a move which
Fed Chair Jerome Powell had just told Congress the Fed did not want
made, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin announced Nov. 19 that the
Treasury would pull back a large chunk of the $454 billion in taxpayer
funds put up in early March to back the Fed’s huge 2020 bailout of
financial markets and megabanks. An interesting question is whether
this is connected to Mnuchin’s sudden restart today, of negotiations
on a new “stimulus” bill, but this time with White House chief of
staff Mark Meadows and House and Senate Republicans — not “Chuck and
Nancy.” Read more >>>
President Trump Takes on Big
Pharma
President Trump revealed several steps
his administration had taken to reduce drug prices: Medicare rebates
would now go directly to patients, rather than to any middlemen.
Medicare would have most-favored nation status, paying the lowest
price among those paid by a collection of developed countries. At
present, Medicare often pays more than any other country for some
drugs! He has ended the Unapproved Drug Initiative, which removed from
the market drugs that had not been FDA approved. This sounds good, of
course, but one side-effect is that drugs developed decades ago,
before approval was required, would now be banned unless a company
stepped forward to do the testing required for approval, following
which the company would have a monopoly on sales. For example,
vasopressin has been on the market since 1928, but was just patented
in 2015, bringing monopoly sales until 2035 and increasing its price
by nearly 1,500%. Pharmacy contractual gag orders, under which a
pharmacist could not tell a customer that it would be cheaper to pay
cash than to use insurance, are to be done away with. A path is to be
opened to import drugs from Canada to save money. Find out more >>>
