Others would offer it was merely a lens flair or simply a trick of the light. Some would state it was possibly teleportation technology, while others insisted it was an advanced transferring of information. After several moments, a bizarre red beam, like a laser, emerges from the craft and towards the ISS.Ī plethora of theories would abound around the Internet as to what the red beam was. This time, however, a row of intensely bright lights is visible along what is presumed to be the side of the cigar-shaped craft. When the footage of the “mothership” appeared in December 2017, it was of a very similar shape. As are the amount of “cuts” in the broadcast which coincidentally or not happen at the same time. Strange objects in the ISS live feed, however, is something that happens more than many realize. Particularly as NASA would cut the feed and offer no explanation as to what it was. While these are perfectly plausible, many believe the object appearing on the ISS feed at around the same time is more than coincidence. The official explanation was a combination of “moon dust” and extreme cold. The lunar rover was completely intact and (outwardly) undamaged. When a NASA probe went over the site, however, it was obvious that the meteorite theory was incorrect. More conservative theories would suggest that a meteor had destroyed the rover. When footage of an unknown object came into view on the ISS live feed, at roughly the same time the Chinese rover’s journey came to an end on the lunar surface, many people wasted little time in connected the two incidents. Then suddenly, it stopped dead.Ĭonspiracy theorists, UFO enthusiasts, and even the Chinese media wondered aloud if the rover was “intentionally stopped”.
For just over a month everything went as planned. After an initial successful landing in the Bay of Rainbows area of the lunar surface, the rover set off on its fact-finding mission. On 14 th December 2013, China would launch their Jade Rabbit rover to the Moon. The short video below looks at this a little further. The hope is the experiment will offer scientists a glimpse into precautions that may be needed for any proposed long-term space flight. At the same time, his twin brother, Mark would be subject to the same monitoring on Earth. While spending a year in space, Kelly was monitored in various ways to establish the effects of such a long time in the cosmos. Although the trials and many like them continue, if such methods can be perfected, even quickened, and carried out on a larger scale, it could mean replacement of entire regions of rainforest and even rapidly increased growth times for harvest and food-stuffs.Īnother intriguing experiment of the ISS involved experienced astronaut, Scott Kelly. Exposure to cosmic rays is one possible reason for this. Scientists believe that the time the stones spent in space likely quickened their development on Earth. This was six years ahead of expected results. The saplings boasted growth of thirteen feet and showed several prominent flowers. Perhaps one of the best examples would be those at the Ganjoji Temple in Japan. In July 2009 they returned to Earth and were planted in fourteen separate locations around the globe.įive years later, after steady monitoring, several locations would boast exciting results. They remained onboard for almost eight months, during which time they would complete over 4000 orbits of the planet. The experiment began in November 2008 when 250 cherry tree stones were seeded aboard the ISS. While they are perhaps not the first type of experiment that would come to mind when thinking about the International Space Station, the growing of cherry tree stones was certainly one of the most interesting.
Everything from microwaves to pacemakers, baby formula to high-tech comfortable running shoes, and water filters to scratch resistant lenses. Although many believe the exploration of space to be wasteful and even unnecessary, the fact is, many of the modern items and gadgets we enjoy today only come to us off the back of the space race.
