ESA European Space Agency Launch

Space for Europe or ESA has been very active as of late. We like that. :) Nasa should get things moving and catch up, the USA dominated this field for many years, but politics and budget issues have hampered our advancement into deep space travel.

Here is video of a recent launch:



The European Space Agency (ESA) (French: l'Agence spatiale européenne - ASE; German: Europäische Weltraumorganisation) is an intergovernmental organisation dedicated to the exploration of space, currently with 20 member states. Established in 1975 and headquartered in Paris, France, ESA has a staff of more than 2,000 with an annual budget of about €4.02 billion / US$5.38 billion (2012).

ESA's space flight program includes human spaceflight, mainly through the participation in the International Space Station program, the launch and operations of unmanned exploration missions to other planets and the Moon, Earth observation, science, telecommunication as well as maintaining a major spaceport, the Guiana Space Centre at Kourou, French Guiana, and designing launch vehicles. The main European launch vehicle Ariane 5 is operated through Arianespace with ESA sharing in the costs of launching and further developing this launch vehicle.

ESA science missions are based at ESTEC in Noordwijk, Netherlands, Earth Observation missions at ESRIN in Frascati, Italy, ESA Mission Control (ESOC) is in Darmstadt, Germany, the European Astronaut Centre (EAC) that trains astronauts for future missions is situated in Cologne, Germany, and the European Space Astronomy Centre is located in Villanueva de la Cañada, Spain.

UFO Evidence

We need only look to those who study the subject of UFO's and those who watch the night sky.
Most of those folks do not work for the Gov., so all this talk about disclosure seems odd.

Let's take the subject a bit more serious, there is plenty of existing ufo evidence to show that something is happening in the skies.
