The Stolen Identity of Joseph Newton Chandler III

October 28, 2024

Robert Ivan Nichols, who went by the alias Joseph Newton Chandler III was born on September 12, 1926 in New Albany, Indiana.

On July 23, 2002, Robert Ivan Nichols committed suicide by a gunshot wound to the head in Eastlake, Ohio at the age of 75. After his death, investigators tried to locate his family and friends but to no avail. It was later found that Robert had been using the name Joseph Newton Chandler III for decades as a false identity, and that the real Joseph was an 8 year old boy who died in a car crash in 1945.

The real Joseph Newton Chandler III was born on March 11, 1937 in Buffalo, New York. On December 21, 1945, Joseph, his father Joseph Newton Chandler Jr., and his mother, Billie, were killed instantly in a car accident close by to Sherman, Texas.

The Chandler family had been on their way to see the boy's grandmother in Weatherford, Texas for the holidays. Their car had been in a head on collision with a truck driven by a man named L.C. Black of De Queen, Arkansas who left the scene uninjured.

Robert Nicholas joined the US Navy in World War II and served as a firefighter on the USS Aaron Ward which ended up being bombed by the Japanese in May 1945 off Okinawa. Robert was wounded in the back and hip and awarded the Purple Heart. He burned his uniforms after the war.

Robert married a woman named Laverne Kort in 1947. They had three sons and Robert worked as a draftsman for an electric company. In 1964, he left his wife and family and filed for divorce.

He moved to Dearborn, Michigan, where he told his parents he worked in the automobile industry. By March 1965, he wrote to his parents that he was now living in Richmond, California, while also sending a letter to his son Phil from Napa, California.

After this, Robert's family never heard from him again and later reported in missing in the same year. The family hired detectives to try to find Robert in both California and Indiana, but were unable to find any trace of him or anyone who knew him in those areas.

It is noted that Robert used his real name to work until around 1976.

Robert stole Joseph's identity in September 1978 in Rapid City, South Dakota, after applying for a social security card. He then moved to Cleveland, and worked a number of jobs. Robert had eventually become laid off in 1997.

It was also said that he claimed to have a sister named Mary Wilson, who lived in Columbus, Ohio, however the address he provided for her was made up and did not exist there. It was revealed later that Robert had used that address that he was born at in New Albany.

It was reported that Robert living under Joseph's identity, was a hermit who only left his house to work and eat. His co-workers reported that he rarely spoke to anyone and had no friends.

He also engaged in strange behaviour such as listening to white noise for hours, and one time drove 700 miles to an L.L. Bean store in Maine, only to leave when he got there because there was no spots available to park.

In 1992, he dressed up as a gangster and went to a Halloween party however the people there claimed he never spoke to anyone the entire night.

In 1989, Robert showed up to a local hospital with lacerations on his penis, claiming he got them from a vacuum. He also made homemade electronic devices a lot. He had a computer he used sometimes, and investigators found searches such as "Nazism" and "plastic explosives."

Robert's body was discovered in his apartment on July 30, 2002, about a week after he died. He shot himself in the mouth with a revolver he had purchased months before. On his calendar he had marked down the days until his suicide, and before doing it had closed his blinds and turned off his air conditioning. He had recently been diagnosed with colon cancer which may have been part or his reasoning for his death.

He had $82,000 in his bank account and had listed co-workers as his emergency contacts. Police could not find any of his relatives and that is what led them to realize he was living under a false name and identity. Authorities could not use fingerprints to assist in identification but were able to get a DNA sample from a hospital Robert had visited in 2000.

So why had Robert been living under the false identity of Joseph Newton Chandler III who had died almost 60 years prior and what was his real name?

Authorities speculated that Robert was a fugitive of some kind, either on the run after committing violent crimes or hiding from something. No theories have ever been confirmed.

Internet sleuths suggest he may have been the unidentified Zodiac killer as he resembled police sketches and was known to live in California. Some believed he was a fugitive named Steven Campbell, who was wanted for attempted murder. Authorities also thought he may have been a German soldier or Nazi official from World War II who had fled to the US to escape prosecution for war crimes.

Robert's name was not identified until 2018, 16 years after he died. In 2014, the case was reopened, and using DNA extracted from a tissue sample from his hospital visit, a CODIS profile was created, but no hits were found.

In 2016, there was a match found that indicated his possible surname was either Nicholas or Nichols. In 2018, the DNA Doe Project identified him as Robert Ivan Nichols. A CODIS match with Phil Nichols, Robert's son, confirmed his identification.

The reason for why Robert Nicholas stole the identity of an 8 year old boy who died in 1945, and lived under the identity since 1978 remains a mystery.

preview of volume two under the cut. lots to explore on playtempusfugit.com, including the entirety of volume one. thanks for listening

There is a story Violet's father told you that you think of time to time, when you are trying to figure it out, when you are trying to trace it all the way back to the beginning. Watching him use it to charm you when you first met was like seeing Violet at a party, but on insanity mode.

There was an artist he produced that everybody knew, he said. He was fire. This was in his youth, mind. Both their youths, young in Hollywood. It was Bob Eliot, actually. The Bob Eliot, yeah, the very same. I created him, Mr. Hunter said, not an inch of arrogance about it. It was just true. True to him, at least. And confidence was all it took in his industry, he'd told you.

Eliot was a thinker, a poet, a scholar; surly, inconsistent, shy; confident and charming and an assured and generous collaborator. In other words, he was never going to make it far, Violet's father said.

"But you were wrong," you indulged, following his script, playing right into it. "He became Bob Eliot."

Mr. Hunter's broad-boned face smiling, smiling, eyebrows suggestive and low, amused, as he shook his head. Held up one finger, dramatic pause: "No, he didn't."

"What do you mean, 'no he didn't?'"

Violet, who'd heard the story a thousand times before, answered for her father: "He didn't become Bob Eliot. Someone else did."

"What?"

"The face you know as Bob Eliot," said Mr. Hunter, "was carefully constructed--in some ways, literally--by a handful of powerful men in vacuum-sealed room smoking cigars. He's an actor. You gotta understand: photography then was not what it is for you kids these days. Smudge somebody up a bit, repaint them. It was the future. I was part of the transition process. Bob was all for it--the taste of fame he got with his debut was more than enough for him. That's showbusiness."

"I don't get it," you said after it had sunk in. "Why'd the new guy have to be Bob Eliot? Why couldn't he just be himself?"

"Because he's a shmuck," said Mr. Hunter. "A performer," he elaborated, as you weren't seeing it. "A yes-man. A puppet in a Bob Eliot costume. But he can't conjure anything original himself. He can't create the kind of chum that conjured his crowd. They'd bring in the real Bob Eliot--the brain of Bob Eliot--to consult on lyrics when the facade started fading, but it wasn't worth it to them. Not when the shlock sold."

You remembered Bob Eliot, or what you thought had been Bob Eliot. You remembered Bob Eliot the character, whoever that was. A drunk in a stupid hat who was always forgetting the lyrics during his live shows, a philanderer, and recipient of the Oxford Award for Public Prosperity and Excellence (in Literature). "What happened to… to the real Bob Eliot?" you asked. You wondered which Bob Eliot had the Oxford Award.

"He owns a record store in Waco, Texas," said Mr. Hunter. "Plays pipe organs in churches, stuff like that. Nothing to draw attention to himself, nothing where he has to open his mouth. Struggles to make ends meet, poor bastard."

"He gave up," Violet said.

Water Damage — 2 Songs (12XU)

2 Songs by Water Damage

It’s likely that other folks have already discoursed on the apt nature of this Texas-based septet’s band name: Water Damage makes music that’s patient, relentless and most effective, ruinously so, when it goes on for a long, long time. Hence the band’s tendency to label their studio-produced songs “Reels”: on this record you get “FUCK THIS: Reel 11” and “FUCK THAT: Reel 13”. The nomenclature invokes the now-venerable medium of the reel-to-reel recorder with its long and steady spin, a technology that grounds us in analogue and in physical space. It’s material. It has presence. It degrades, but that’s part of its interest and its intensity. It won’t be around forever. And even though Water Damage’s Reels are long (respectively on 2 Songs, almost 19 and over 21 minutes), they don’t go on endlessly. They just feel like they could, and when you sink into their rhythms, you may wish they would.

It's also likely that some folks will assert that this droning, repetitive music is too familiar, that other bands and artists have already explored and mapped out the terrain. There are some reference points and comparisons: Steve Reich’s rigor, Nadja’s sense of dread, Oneida’s understanding of how austere minimalism can be made playful (that last word written without a whiff of condescending stink on it). You might hear or think of all of them when you spin 2 Songs, but none of those names or sounds is coextensive with Water Damage’s textural variety. The band combines heavy music’s impact and predilections for drama with drone’s more hifalutin conceptual thrust without diminishing the effects of either. That may not be surprising, given some of the players involved: Nate Cross plays bass in the art-damaged sludge band USA/Mexico; he also provides rhythms in Marriage, along with Water Damage bandmates Mike Kanin and Greg and Jeff Piwonka. Guitarist George Dishner makes thick, No-Wavey noises in Spray Paint. 

“FUCK THAT: Reel 13” may be the more interesting side of 2 Songs; certainly its dynamics are brighter and more complex. The song’s mutations and modulations feel tidal, more channeled than calculated. As it accumulates, “FUCK THAT…” slowly acquires a dissolute vibe, bottoming out into distressed, mechanical moans and aching scrapes. Imagine an industrial-scaled vacuum cleaner becoming clogged with some gummy, vaguely organic substance. The gears and belts try to turn, thumping and thrumming, lumps of matter spinning and catching and making patterned splats. Meanwhile, the tape spins away and the song keeps going, resisting the insistent logic of its own destruction. It’s not enjoyable so much as it is compelling. This reviewer has had it on repeat for at least a couple hours. Spinning and thumping, listening to that water pour.

The History of the Transistor Radio: A Revolution in Pocket-Sized Technology The transistor radio is a small, portable radio receiver that revolutionized how people consumed music and news in the mid-20th century. Its invention marked a transformative shift in the electronics industry, popular culture, and communication. Compact and efficient, transistor radios became a global phenomenon and a precursor to today's portable electronic devices. This blog delves into the history, impact, and technological evolution of this ground-breaking invention. The Predecessor: Vacuum Tube Radios Before transistor radios, vacuum tube radios dominated the market. These radios, though innovative for their time, were bulky, fragile, and required significant power, usually from wall outlets or large batteries. As a result, they were largely confined to homes and stationary settings. The quest for a smaller, more efficient alternative drove the development of new technologies. The Birth of the Transistor In 1947, a team of physicists at Bell Labs—John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley—invented the transistor. This tiny semiconductor device could amplify electrical signals and switch them on and off, much like a vacuum tube, but with significant advantages: it was smaller, consumed less power, and was more durable. This invention earned the team the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 and laid the foundation for the miniaturization of electronics. The First Transistor Radios The first commercial transistor radio was the Regency TR-1, released in 1954. Jointly developed by Texas Instruments and Industrial Development Engineering Associates (I.D.E.A.), the TR-1 was a marvel of modern engineering. Although it had a limited frequency range and modest sound quality, its small size and portability made it an instant hit. Priced at $49.95 (about $500 today), the TR-1 was initially marketed as a luxury item. Despite its cost, it sold well, proving that consumers valued portability and novelty in technology. Soon, other manufacturers, including RCA and Sony, entered the market, sparking fierce competition and rapid innovation. Sony and the Global Expansion Sony, then a fledgling Japanese company, played a pivotal role in popularizing transistor radios. In 1955, the company released the Sony TR-55, followed by the TR-63 in 1957, which became a worldwide success. Sony's radios were smaller, more reliable, and offered better sound quality than many of their competitors. The TR-63, in particular, was affordable and compact enough to fit in a shirt pocket, earning it the nickname "pocket radio." This success marked Sony’s entry onto the global stage and established Japan as a leader in consumer electronics. It also signaled the beginning of the transistor radio's cultural impact. Cultural Revolution The portability of transistor radios transformed listening habits. For the first time, people could take their favorite music and radio programs with them wherever they went. Transistor radios became symbols of freedom and individuality, especially among teenagers in the 1950s and 1960s. This era saw the rise of rock 'n' roll, and transistor radios became a key medium for spreading the genre. Young people carried them to the beach, parks, and social gatherings, creating a shared cultural experience. The radios also played a role in political movements, as people could listen to news updates and speeches on the go, fostering a more informed and engaged public. Technological Advances Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, transistor radios became increasingly sophisticated. Advances in semiconductor technology allowed for better sound quality, longer battery life, and more compact designs. FM capabilities were added, improving audio fidelity and expanding content options. By the 1980s, transistor radios had evolved into multifunctional devices, often combined with cassette players and other features. The Decline and Legacy By the late 20th century, the popularity of transistor radios began to wane, replaced by more advanced devices like Walkmans, portable CD players, and eventually smartphones. However, their influence remains undeniable. Transistor radios democratized access to information and entertainment, paving the way for today’s mobile technology. Even today, transistor radios hold nostalgic value and remain in use in parts of the world where simplicity, reliability, and affordability are essential. Conclusion The transistor radio is more than just a piece of technology—it’s a cultural artefact that encapsulates the spirit of innovation and societal change. From its humble beginnings as a luxury gadget to its role as a ubiquitous companion of the 20th century, the transistor radio bridged the gap between technological advancement and everyday life. Its legacy continues to resonate, reminding us of the transformative power of portability and accessibility in technology. Read the full article

West Nile virus is a flavirus of migratory birds named after the district in Uganda where it was first isolated in 1937. Migratory birds have probably been introducing the virus into the United States for decades, especially into New York City, which lies on the Atlantic flyway, one of the four primary migratory routes in North America. The virus can spill over from birds' bodies into ours when mosquitoes bite infected birds and then bite people.

But despite the repeated introduction of the virus and the enduring phenomemon of mosquito biting, West Nile virus did not break out in the United States until 1999, more than fifty years after it was identified.

That's because the diversity of the local bird population limited our exposure to it. Different bird species vary in their vulnerability to the virus. Robins and crows are especially susceptible. Woodpeckers and rails are not. Their feathery bodies act like a barrier. So long as the local bird population was diverse, including plenty of virus-repelling woodpeckers and rails, there wasn't much virus around. The chances that the virus would spill over from birds into humans were slim.

But avian biodiversity, like the biodiversity of other species, has plummeted, in the United States as elsewhere. Urban sprawl, industrial agriculture, and climate change, among other disruptions caused by human activity, steadily destroy bird habitats, reducing the number of species among us. But habitat destruction doesn't affect all species equally. Some species – the so-called specialist species – get hit especially hard. They're the ones, like monarch butterflies, salamanders, and woodpeckers and rails, that rely on exacting conditions and can't easily survive when these conditions change. When trees are felled and nesting grounds paved over, they're the ones that tend to disappear first. That means there's more food and territory around for the “generalist” species like robins and crows – the opportunistic, sharp-elbowed types that can live anywhere and eat anything. Their numbers skyrocket in the vacuum.

As avian diversity declined in the United Sates, specialist species like woodpeckers and rails disappeared, while generalist species like American robins and crows boomed. (Populations of American robins have grown by 50 or 100 percent over the past twenty-five years.) This reordering of the composition of the local bird population steadily increased the chances that the virus would reach a high enough concentration to spill over into humans. At some point, a threshold was crossed. In the summer of 1999, West Nile infected over 2 percent of the population of Queens, more than eight thousand people, in New York City. Once it took hold, it spread inexorably. Within five years, the virus had emerged in all forty-eight contiguous states. By 2010, an estimated 1.8 million people in North America had been infected from New York to Texas and California. Experts agree that West Nile is here to stay.

Air Duct Cleaning Must-Knows for Pet Owners

Pet owners in Waxahachie, Texas know the joy of having furry companions. However, they also face the challenges of managing pet hair, dander, and odors. This is where professional air duct cleaning comes along, which is a beneficial yet often overlooked aspect of maintaining a clean home. Read on as we share the importance of air duct cleaning in Waxahachie and how it can significantly enhance indoor air quality for pet owners!

How Pets Affect Your HVAC System

Air ducts play a crucial role in circulating air throughout your home. Unfortunately, they can also trap pet hair and dander. As pets roam around, they shed hair and skin cells that get sucked into your HVAC system. Over time, this buildup can reduce airflow and lead to allergies and respiratory issues. Regular air duct cleaning in Waxahachie helps remove these hidden contaminants. The result is a healthier environment for both you and your pets.

The Misconception About Cleaning

Many pet owners mistakenly believe that regular vacuuming is enough to control pet hair and dander. However, this cleaning method often misses dander, a significant allergen and odor contributor. Dander tends to settle deep within the ducts, making it hard to reach without the proper equipment or know-how. Scheduling a professional Waxahachie air duct cleaning addresses this issue to improve your home’s air quality. 

Signs Your Ducts Need Attention

It is essential to recognize when your air ducts need attention. Increased allergy symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or difficulty breathing often indicate that your ducts are harboring allergens. It’s also a sign to schedule an air duct cleaning in Waxahachie when pets’ smell lingers and dust bunnies reappear quickly after cleaning. Persistent dust bunnies signal excessive dust circulating through your air ducts. 

Maintaining Clean Air Ducts

Besides hiring regular Waxahachie air duct cleaning services, there are other tips to help maintain good air quality and well-functioning air ducts. Regularly grooming your pets can likewise help minimize shedding and dander. You can also bathe and brush your pets’ fur often to reduce the amount of fur that finds its way into your ducts. On top of all the pet care routine, make sure to replace air filters frequently to keep your HVAC system functioning smoothly.

At Dr. Clean Carpet, we pride ourselves on delivering superior air duct cleaning services in Waxahachie. Our team is led by certified professionals who adhere to the highest industry standards, producing results that exceed clients’ expectations. Don’t wait to improve your indoor air quality, and contact us today to learn more about our services.

Water Removal: Using powerful pumps and vacuums, the restoration team will remove standing water from the property. This step is crucial to prevent further damage and reduce the risk of mold growth.

Drying and Dehumidification: After the water is removed, the affected areas must be thoroughly dried. Industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers are used to eliminate moisture from walls, floors, and other structures. This step ensures that all moisture is removed, preventing further damage and mold growth.

Cleaning and Sanitizing: Water damage can introduce contaminants into your home. The restoration team will clean and sanitize all affected areas to remove bacteria, mold spores, and other harmful pathogens. This step also includes deodorization to eliminate any unpleasant odors.

Restoration and Repairs: The final step involves repairing any damage caused by the water. This can include replacing drywall, flooring, and insulation, as well as repainting and refinishing surfaces. The goal is to restore your property to its pre-damage condition.

Choosing a Water Damage Restoration Service in Flower Mound

THE FLYING RED HORSE MAGNOLIA'S FLYING RED HORSE When the 400-foot-tall Magnolia Petroleum building opened in 1922, it was the city’s first skyscraper – and tallest building west of the Mississippi River. With 29 floors and seven elevators, the Magnolia building towered over the nearby Adolphus Hotel, built in 1913. The Magnolia also was first high rise in the United States to have air conditioning, according to the management company that acquired the building in 1997. Today, with much of the original architecture’s classical design and gold leaf restored in 1999, the Dallas Magnolia Hotel has become a “boutique hotel” blending its past with modern amenities. After the 1922 opening, a local reporter described the Magnolia – which cost the oil company $4 million to build – as “a great peg driven into the ground holding Dallas in its place.” In 1925, when Standard Oil Company of New York (Socony) acquired Magnolia Petroleum Company, the Dallas headquarters building was included. Nine years later Pegasus would land on the roof. The flying red horses began their journey in 1911, when a Vacuum Oil Company subsidiary in Cape Town, South Africa, first trademarked the Pegasus logo. Based in Rochester, New York, Vacuum Oil had built a successful petroleum lubricants business around an 1869 patent by its founder, Hiram Everest, long before gasoline was even a branded product. At first, a stylized red gargoyle advertised the company, which produced the earliest petroleum-based lubricants for horse-drawn carriages and steam engines. The Pegasus trademark proved to be a more enduring image. In Greek mythology, Pegasus – a winged horse – carried thunderbolts for Zeus. By 1931 growth of the automobile industry expanded the Vacuum Oil product lineup to include Pegasus Spirits and Mobilgas – later simplified to Mobil. When Standard Oil of New York and Vacuum Oil combine to form Socony-Vacuum Oil Company, the new company adopted the familiar winged trademark, as does an affiliate, Magnolia Petroleum. It took a year to build the rotating 35-foot by 40-foot Pegasus sign. It first beamed its red neon glow in 1934, welcoming the first annual meeting to be held in Dallas by the American Petroleum Institute. For decades the emblem slowly rotated above the growing city as corporate consolidations and mergers changed Socony-Vacuum ownership. In 1955 the name of the company changed to Socony Mobil Oil; in 1966 became just Mobil Oil.

A neon Pegasus displayed at the 1939 New York World’s Fair found its way to a Mobil gas station in Casa Linda, Texas, and later to the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History & Culture – where it’s on exhibit today. In 1974 the petroleum icon’s motor ground to a halt. Mobile Oil moved out of the Magnolia building three years later and sold the aging skyscraper and glowing but unmoving sign to the city of Dallas. Twenty-years later, Pegasus’ neon lights finally went out. As a Denver-based developer restored and transformed the deteriorating Magnolia building into a luxurious 330 room hotel in the late 1990s, a group of patrons and corporate partners joined in to bring the broken and rusty Pegasus sign back to life. They raised more than $600,000 for the project Project Pegasus targeted New Year’s Eve of 1999 and dawn of the new millennium to reintroduce Dallas citizens to their petroleum heritage landmark. Restoration of the 8,000-pound sign proved challenging. The derrick-like tower structure was reparable and the old mechanical rotation system could be updated with new technology. But time and weather had damaged the porcelain coated steel signage and neon tubing. New 16-gauge steel panels had to be cut, using the originals as templates. Only two facilities in the United States were large enough to accommodate baking the emblematic red porcelain onto the new panels; fortunately, both were in Dallas. More than 1,000 feet of new neon tubing was required to trace the familiar outlines as craftsmen and technicians remained faithful to the original. The efforts of all were rewarded at midnight on December 31, 1999, when fireworks and millennium celebrations welcomed Pegasus back to the Dallas skyline. Problems led to the sign being turned off in March 2013 until restored in June by Starlite Sign of Denton, Texas. Although cost of fixing the machinery that once turned the structure was too high to attempt, even stationary, “the new lights will glow from dusk until dawn,” said a city official. The public art manager for the Office of Cultural Affairs manages its maintenance. Kay Kallos, manager of the department proclaimed, “The Pegasus sign is a beloved icon of the city of Dallas.” Courtesy Historical Society of American Oil and Gas."

The Birth of the Semiconductor Industry with Nav Sooch

The semiconductor industry has become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from smartphones and computers to medical devices and renewable energy systems. However, the journey to its current prominence began with humble origins and the pioneering work of scientists and engineers in the mid-20th century. In this blog, we'll explore the early developments and key figures with the help of experts like Nav Sooch that laid the foundation for the semiconductor industry as we know it today.

Semiconductor Basics and Early Discoveries

Semiconductors are materials with electrical conductivity between that of a conductor and an insulator. The study of semiconductors dates back to the late 19th century when scientists began investigating the electrical properties of materials such as silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide. Early discoveries, such as the Hall effect and the photoelectric effect, provided insights into the behavior of semiconductors under different conditions.

Moreover, the development of quantum mechanics in the early 20th century further advanced our understanding of the behavior of electrons in semiconductors. Scientists such as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Werner Heisenberg made significant contributions to the theoretical framework that underpins semiconductor physics. These foundational discoveries laid the groundwork for the practical applications of semiconductors in electronics and technology, paving the way for advancements in the field with insights from semiconductor experts like Nav Sooch.

Invention of the Transistor

One of the most pivotal moments in the history of the semiconductor industry was the invention of the transistor in 1947 by scientists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at Bell Laboratories.

After a journey spanning almost two decades, Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Dream Chaser reusable spaceplane, named Tenacity, is officially undergoing environmental testing at NASA’s Neil Armstrong Test Facility located at NASA’s Glenn Research Center in anticipation of its maiden flight to the International Space Station (ISS), currently scheduled for April 2024. The environmental testing consists of analyzing the spacecraft’s ability to withstand rigorous vibrations during launch and re-entry, along with the harsh environment of outer space, including extreme temperature changes and vacuum conditions. This testing comes after Sierra Space announced the completion of Tenacity at its facilities in Louisville, Colorado last month, along with the delivery of Sierra Space’s cargo module, Shooting Star, to the Neil Armstrong Test Facility that same month, as well. Sierra Space’s Dream Chaser spaceplane, Tenacity, imaged at the Neil Armstrong Test Facility after being delivered just a few days ago. (Credit: Sierra Space/Shay Saldana) “At Sierra Space, we are ushering in the next industrial revolution with a business and technology platform that provides our customers with a complete turn-key solution offering space as a service,” Tom Vice, Sierra Space CEO, said in an official statement. “Our platform includes Dream Chaser, a revolutionary, highly reusable commercial spaceplane with global runway access, and the first business-ready commercial space station, leveraging the most advanced expandable structural architecture that will exponentially decrease the cost of product development and manufacturing in space.” Sierra Nevada naming its first spacecraft “Tenacity” is only fitting given Dream Chaser’s long and difficult journey getting to this point. This includes rejections, company buyouts, legal proceedings, engineering designs, test flights, and finally being selected by NASA in January 2016 to deliver cargo to the ISS. Less than a year after being approve by NASA, Dream Chaser successfully performed a successful free flight test at Edwards AFB in southern California in November 2017, which was a huge milestone for the spacecraft and the advancement of the commercial space industry. The goal of Dream Chaser is to provide a more cost-effective method for delivering cargo and supplies to the ISS, as while the spaceplane will be launched on a rocket, it will land like an airplane just like NASA’s Space Shuttle used to do. This will further enable its reusability capabilities, as NASA has contracted Dream Chaser for a minimum of six cargo resupply missions to the ISS during its contract. Dream Chaser’s maiden flight next year will be a collaboration between flight and ground controllers at the Dream Chaser Mission Control Center in Louisville, Colorado, NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Texas. During this flight, Tenacity will conduct a myriad of in-flight tests after launch and prior to docking with the ISS. This includes performing vehicle maneuvering demonstrations within the ISS approach ellipsoid, which is a 4 x 2 x 2-kilometer (2.5 x 1.25 x 1.25-mile) invisible border encircling the ISS. Unlike the autonomous docking system employed on SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, Dream Chaser will be docked and undocked to the ISS using the Canadarm2, which is a 17-meter-long (56-foot-long) robotic arm built by the Canadian Space Agency and installed on the ISS in 2001. During this mission, Tenacity is slated to deliver more than 3,500 kilograms (7,800 pounds) to the ISS and stay docked with the orbiting laboratory for approximately 45 days before being undocked by Canadarm2 and returning to Earth. Once Dream Chaser is greenlit for future flights after this first mission, it will be capable of delivering approximately 5,200 kilograms (11,500 pounds) of supplies to the ISS while staying docked for up to 75 days. Additionally, Dream Chaser will be capable of returning more than 1,600 kilograms (3,500 pounds) of experiments and cargo from the ISS to Earth, with more than 4,000 kilograms (8,700 pounds) of trash being discarded during Earth reentry using the Shooting Star cargo module. How will Dream Chaser help improve outer space exploration in the coming years and decades? Only time will tell, and this is why we science! As always, keep doing science & keep looking up! The post Dream Chaser is Getting Tested at NASA appeared first on Universe Today.

Nephilim End-Times Strategy: Artificial Intelligence’s Role in the Last Days

What will life be like in 20 years? What forms of energy will be available to us?

Breakthroughs in science will transform our lives. Many of the innovations will use atomic energy. There will be quantum computers billions of times more powerful than today’s PCs. Some inventions are already interfacing with contact lenses that will beam data into our eyes.

Technology is advancing from every direction and is moving faster with each passing day. There will be an increase of knowledge in the last days:

“... close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge” (Daniel 12:4, NIV).

The Hebrew word, “to increase,” means to multiply. In other words, there shall be an explosion of knowledge.

3-D Printing

Imagine printing a solid object, into a 3-D format. 3-D printing is a device that manufactures a three-dimensional object, layer by layer. Instead of ink, it uses plastic, metal, nylon or other substances. On a standard printer, a nozzle passes over the paper that builds a picture line-by-line. The nozzle on a 3-D printer lays down layers of material that builds a solid object.

Most manufacturing processes produce things by cutting and drilling, removing material until what remains is the desired size or shape. 3-D printers do the opposite, adding to the item in stages until it’s complete. This makes it very efficient, as there is almost no waste.

The potential for 3-D printing is huge. Some have described it as the third industrial revolution. Today, companies use 3-D printing to make prototypes of items they intend to manufacture. For example, 3-D mockups of new shoe designs are printed in order for designers to see what works and what does not work. This allows them to make the necessary revisions before they create the actual shoe, which greatly speeds up the preproduction process and saves a lot of money.

But there is a dark side to this amazing invention. How do you stop people such as criminals or terrorists from using 3-D printers to produce illegal items? Guns, which were built from over 30 stainless steel and nickel parts, have already been printed and tested in Austin, Texas. They are lethal weapons and can be used by good or evil people.

Self-Driving Cars

There are technologies that exist on vehicles today such as cruise control, lane guidance, assisted brakes and automated parking. Self-driving cars are being tested on U.S. roads, and there is already an automated car system in place at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal Five in England. Even with all of the questions we might ask, self-driving cars around the world are proving to be more capable than human-driven vehicles.

Power Without Wires

Technological advancements mean there will be no need for cables to plug into your mobile devices to charge batteries. The future of wireless power is on the horizon. Presently, one is able to place their phone on a charging mat and the battery replenishes itself. This is an important invention for charging electric car batteries. Electric cars will refresh their batteries while they drive past a recharging station without stopping. A wireless future could be more imminent than we think.

Robot vacuum cleaners roam the house without human supervision. Today, robots can run like a cheetah and even make their own decisions. Amazingly, they can even look like real human beings. One robot, if it’s knocked over or stumbles, can regain its balance, as well as walk on slippery ice without falling.

Hollywood movies about robotic creatures are a dime a dozen. The progressive growth of robots and drones pose a serious threat to society, which could limit one’s personal privacy and civil liberties, as well as basic human rights. The benefits of such innovations will be eroded by the development of new robot technologies for monitoring, checking and following humans. How do you think the antichrist will use such technology?

Soon, we are told, fully autonomous machines could be fighting our wars and selecting kill targets with no human intervention. How robots affect our future remains to be seen, but the fact is they provide us with the possibility to go beyond the limits of human progress. It may not be very long before colleagues are made of steel, rather than flesh. The U.S. military is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into bionics research, partly because of military victims who have lost their limbs.

Artificial Limbs

Technological innovation is advancing the limits of what modern prostheses can do. For salamanders, losing a limb isn’t so bad because they just simply grow another one. Scientists are busy studying salamanders in order to pin down the biological process behind the regeneration capacity, in the hope that one day it will be replicated in humans. Recently, a man who lost his nose to cancer had it replaced with one that grew from stem cells. In a north London hospital, scientists are growing noses, ears and blood vessels in the laboratory in a bold attempt to make body parts by using stem cells.

Man-Made Limbs

The human brain makes 100 trillion calculations per second. By 2050, we are told a desktop computer will have the equivalent processing power of 9 billion brains. We are in the midst of a powerful acceleration in computer technology, and when computers gain artificial intelligence, with the ability to reason and communicate ideas like a human can, it will change everything. The question is, will computers dominate humans or will humans still control the Earth? Within 30 years, science will produce the hardware and the software to create super human intelligence. These machines will be vastly superior to human intelligence.

Quantum Computing

Quantum models could one day replace today’s supercomputers. We are heading toward smaller, faster processors with more hard drive capacity. The number of transistors on integrated circuits is doubling every two years. Quantum computing harnesses the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and processing tasks. The potential of quantum computing is light years faster than the conventional computer used today.

Nanotechnology

Just what is a nano? A nano is one billionth of a meter. A nano is to a meter as a marble is to the Earth. Scientists are working on tiny computer chips called smart dust, which will cover the infrastructure of a city or town and monitor everyone’s moves to know when and where each and every person is at any given moment. When one enters their office building, the smart dust will boot up their computer and open doors automatically for their every move, including opening the elevator door and ringing their floor. The iPhone is an early sample of what is to come. Technology not only involves non-living microchips. It also involves biological “chips.” Nanotechnology includes duplicating microscopic molecules like the one cell bacteria flagellum for the purpose of attacking deadly diseases in the human body such as cancer cells. Nanotechnology is inevitable and is going to be a huge part of our lives soon.

The Human Genome Project

The human genome project was one of man’s greatest scientific achievements in the 20th century. The aim of the project was to map all of the genes that make up the human being, which carry the detailed instruction manual of our bodies that is within every cell. This hereditary information is coded in the DNA. It is in the DNA where the human genes are found that provide instructions essential for life. The DNA molecule contains around 24,000 genes. The project mapped the function of each gene. The benefits of this project will help in preventing disease.

This mapping will be common knowledge, just as one’s blood type can be known. As a result, medical breakthroughs offer hope to those who are suffering from inherited diseases. A defective gene can be replaced, eliminated or made inactive and a gene can be introduced into the body to help fight a disease. The genome project was an international venture with scientists from 20 countries working on it. The job was completed in 2003, 50 years after the discovery of the DNA molecule.

The dark side of this amazing endeavor is when mankind begins to tinker with human genetics, where are the boundaries? Can an embryo with a defective gene be treated before birth? That would be wonderful! But the potential side effects producing lasting complications are unknown. In humanistic hands, mankind will be able to manipulate the human body to be altered from God’s original plan.

Becoming Biological Machines?

Are we already becoming machines? We wear digital earpieces. We seem lost without our wireless devices. Contacts are now being created to fit over one’s eye to connect to the Web. Robotic exoskeletons are now being made to perform everything man does manually with great ease.

Technology empowers the disabled to live a normal life. Robotic legs can allow an individual to walk who has no physical legs. Sightless individuals now have the ability to see. Contact lenses are now being created that will provide a stream of data to guide one through life—data that is literally projected in front of their eyes. They are called electronic contact lenses. The display will not be confused with one’s perception of the world. Voiceless people now have the ability to speak, and now, we can implant chips in the brain of a stroke victim, which allows them to control a robotic arm. The computer decodes the victims’ neural signals in the brain that connects with the implanted chip. Technology is reshaping human history.

Tattooed Tech

Scientists are also working on creating an electronic tattoo that would be implanted on the throat of an individual enabling him or her to communicate with smart phones via Bluetooth connections. The tattoo would include a microscopic microphone and power source. The invention would allow individuals to communicate via voice commands without having to wear an earpiece or headset. The device would allow one to communicate in a crowded noisy room, as well as listen to music without earphones. In addition, Google’s glass technology is producing a wearable computer with a smartphone display that lets the user text, browse the Web, take photos and run other apps, all hands-free.

Artificial Intelligence

In a few decades, living beings as we know them might not be the only intelligent life on our planet. But what does that mean to us? Will these intelligent machines be able to think? Thinking is what separates men from the machines. In the latter, what goes in goes out. Whatever the machine is programmed to do, it will do, which allows it to make calculations that can even outsmart mankind. For example, artificial intelligence really captured the public’s imagination in 1997, when the supercomputer Deep Blue beat world champion Gary Kasparov at chess. The society we live in already has plenty of functional intelligent-design systems. Have you ever used the Siri app on the iPhone? It’s just a matter of time before artificial intelligence runs our lives, even though it doesn’t respond emotionally with feelings of gloom and despondency.

Artificial intelligence is inevitable. Digital creatures have been created in the computer. These computerized images make decisions on their own— when to turn, eat, rest, etc. They are able to pass on this info in their digital brains to their offspring. Each generation gets smarter, so they can survive longer. Experts claim by the year 2035, human level intelligence will exist in these robotic creatures.

Robots will look and act more and more like humans. In Japan, humanoids are being produced today in the laboratories. They respond exactly like their human twin. They speak identically to their creator, even mirroring every twitch of the eye. Robots will be commonplace in the future society with realistic humanoids, whose intelligence will rival our own. We will not know which is human when we pass one on the street or in the office.

Teleporting A Human

Most everyone has heard of Star Trek’s science fiction technology of a person being transported to a distant location through what is called a teleportation machine, commonly known as being “beamed up.” Is such an idea possible from a scientific standpoint? We all know how easy it is to copy and cut-and-paste a phrase using a computer and then send it through cyberspace on the Web. Is it possible that quantum mechanics can “cut and paste” and then transport living matter?

In 1997, a team of scientists at the University at Innsbruck in Austria demonstrated quantum teleportation, transmitting and reconstructing the state of a photon over a distance. It seems that science is attempting to accomplish what we read about in Scripture. The Bible provides examples of what mankind is attempting to accomplish in the natural—the prophet Elijah being translated in a fiery chariot (2 Kings 2), Philip being translated from place to place (Acts 8:39), and Christ Jesus’ ascension into the heavens (Acts 1:9).

Nanotechnology, Robotics and Genetics

Mankind is developing three technologies that will eventually converge and function together. First, there are nanotechnologies, which involve molecule-sized machines. These are tiny, tiny biological and mechanical microscopic machines. Second, there is the technology of robotics, which is self-modifying (altering, changing) sentient (conscious) machines. These machines are computer-driven devices that can reprogram themselves. Third is genetics, and this involves self-replicating (copying) entities (humans) that can manipulate and maneuver other mechanisms and devices.

These three technologies are destined to converge and interconnect with one another. The goal to converge these technologies is to create self-copying, conscious machines that can be directed to target diseases or specific groups or individuals. For example, a virus will be engineered that will attack only certain combinations of DNA. The evil side of this is the misuse of such technology in the hands of fallen man.
