Published on Mar 27, 2012

NASA successfully launched five suborbital sounding rockets on March 27 from its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia as part of a study of the upper level jet stream. The first rocket was launched at 4:58 a.m. EDT and each subsequent rocket was launched 80 seconds apart.

Each of the rockets released a chemical tracer that created milky, white clouds at the edge of space. The launches and clouds were reported to be seen from as far south as Wilmington, N.C.; west to Charlestown, W. Va.; and north to Buffalo, N.Y.

The Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX) mission will gather information needed to better understand the process responsible for the high-altitude jet stream located 60 to 65 miles above the surface of the Earth. More information on the ATREX mission is available on the Internet at: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sun...

    Unfortunately, stupidity has become fashionable in our new America. Pinheads wear ignorance as if it were a badge of honor thanks to the phony "conservative" movement.

    Do you have any evidence of this? Because this is a very extraordinary claim

    If you want to turn this into FEAR then by all means go ahead...However, the truth is basic science & what they did today is not going to hurt anyone at anytime! If you want to FEAR something then FEAR what the Fossil Fuel Industry is doing to the climate! FEAR the Republican Party & the Christian Right who are pouring $100s MILLION into harassing climate scientist, Evolutionary Biologist & Neurosurgeons! Republicans in the House & Senate have called for 17 scientist to be JAILED! THINK!!

    It may be obsolete, but that doesn't make the alternatives affordable.
