Government Mass Surveillance Petition


https://sendto.mozilla.org/page/content/surveillance-interstitial/

I urge you to try the link above to take a short quiz and sign a petition to stop the US government from collecting data on us without any transparency or accountability.

Here is a link directly to the petition

By the way, this is an unconstitutional violation of the fourth amendment:

Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Again, the government feels that it can just ignore the constitution and it is our fault for letting them get away with it.

EM Drive Buzz

The controversial EM drive has created some new results lately. 

http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/04/evaluating-nasas-futuristic-em-drive/ 

Several groups have worked on versions of this.  In the UK, China, and the US.  NASA tested it in a vacuum for the first time and is reporting evidence of thrust---that's thrust without propellant! 

IF this pans out it will be huge.  Not having to carry propellant with you can change everything about how we currently do space travel.  It only depends on energy, which can be collected from the sun or generated in reactors...
