When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they

quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work

in 0 gravity.

To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade

and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity,

upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to

over 300 C.

What is this all about ?

Any Question Often any big Lie issue

( Like the fictional Vampire )

is vulnerable to the light of day!

Ask any scientist ( evan your High school science teacher )

all of the real questions about the American goals in space.

Many o usf never question the most basic of the so called

space mission issues .

#1.

What is the total absolute number of human beings that will ever be able

to live in "space or off planet ?

What is the total amount in money fuel ,food what ever of the Innumerable

materials required to maintain that life .

How much time will it take to place our resources wherever ?

Based on Fuel and Weight costs what is the total cost of the maximum

number of humans that can ever be deployed ( in any possible future )

in permanent habitat in living quarters off earth in outer space or on a

moon or a “ better planet ” ?

What does that mean to majority of human beings left on earth with less

resources and no means of “escape”?

One answer from two NASA fellow's is :

Number of human beings = 1000

Fuel cost = All available matter

Time line = 100 years starting now!

So why did this space race continue even though

most of the word population ( 80 % live in poverty)

when they could be fed housed educated and

contributing

if freed from debt ?

Why in deed?

As Rabbis Face Facts, Bible Tales Are Wilting

By MICHAEL MASSING, The New York Times

Abraham, the Jewish patriarch, probably never existed. Nor did Moses. The

entire Exodus story as recounted in the Bible probably never occurred. The

same is true of the tumbling of the walls of Jericho. And David, far from

being the fearless king who built Jerusalem into a mighty capital, was more

likely a provincial leader whose reputation was later magnified to provide a

rallying point for a fledgling nation.

Such startling propositions — the product of findings by archaeologists

digging in Israel and its environs over the last 25 years — have gained wide

acceptance among non- Orthodox rabbis. But there has been no attempt to

disseminate these ideas or to discuss them with the laity — until now.

The United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, which represents the 1.5

million Conservative Jews in the United States, has just issued a new Torah

and commentary, the first for Conservatives in more than 60 years. Called

"Etz Hayim" ("Tree of Life" in Hebrew), it offers an interpretation that

incorporates the latest findings from archaeology, philology, anthropology

and the study of ancient cultures. To the editors who worked on the book, it

represents one of the boldest efforts ever to introduce into the religious

mainstream a view of the Bible as a human rather than divine document.

"When I grew up in Brooklyn, congregants were not sophisticated about

anything," said Rabbi Harold Kushner, the author of "When Bad Things

Happen

to Good People" and a co-editor of the new book. "Today, they are very

sophisticated and well read about psychology, literature and history, but

they are locked in a childish version of the Bible."

"Etz Hayim," compiled by David Lieber of the University of Judaism in Los

Angeles, seeks to change that. It offers the standard Hebrew text, a

parallel English translation (edited by Chaim Potok, best known as the

author of "The Chosen"), a page-by-page exegesis, periodic commentaries

Jewish practice and, at the end, 41 essays by prominent rabbis and scholars

on topics ranging from the Torah scroll and dietary laws to ecology and

eschatology.

These essays, perused during uninspired sermons or Torah readings at Sabbath

services, will no doubt surprise many congregants. For instance, an essay on

Ancient Near Eastern Mythology," by Robert Wexler, president of the

University of Judaism in Los Angeles, states that on the basis of modern

scholarship, it seems unlikely that the story of Genesis originated in

Palestine. More likely, Mr. Wexler says, it arose in Mesopotamia, the

influence of which is most apparent in the story of the Flood, which

probably grew out of the periodic overflowing of the Tigris and Euphrates

rivers. The story of Noah, Mr. Wexler adds, was probably borrowed from the

Mesopotamian epic Gilgamesh.

Equally striking for many readers will be the essay "Biblical Archaeology,"

by Lee I. Levine, a professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. "There

is no reference in Egyptian sources to Israel's sojourn in that country," he

writes, "and the evidence that does exist is negligible and indirect." The

few indirect pieces of evidence, like the use of Egyptian names, he adds,

"are far from adequate to corroborate the historicity of the biblical

account."

Similarly ambiguous, Mr. Levine writes, is the evidence of the conquest and

settlement of Canaan, the ancient name for the area including Israel.

Excavations showing that Jericho was unwalled and uninhabited, he says,

"clearly seem to contradict the violent and complete conquest portrayed in

the Book of Joshua." What's more, he says, there is an "almost total absence

of archaeological evidence" backing up the Bible's grand descriptions of the

Jerusalem of David and Solomon.

The notion that the Bible is not literally true "is more or less settled and

understood among most Conservative rabbis," observed David Wolpe, a rabbi at

Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and a contributor to "Etz Hayim." But some

congregants, he said, "may not like the stark airing of it." Last Passover,

in a sermon to 2,200 congregants at his synagogue, Rabbi Wolpe frankly said

that "virtually every modern archaeologist" agrees "that the way the Bible

describes the Exodus is not the way that it happened, if it happened at

all." The rabbi offered what he called a "litany of disillusion" about the

narrative, including contradictions, improbabilities, chronological lapses

and the absence of corroborating evidence. In fact, he said, archaeologists

digging in the Sinai have "found no trace of the tribes of Israel — not one

shard of pottery."

The reaction to the rabbi's talk ranged from admiration at his courage to

dismay at his timing to anger at his audacity. Reported in Jewish

publications around the world, the sermon brought him a flood of letters

accusing him of undermining the most fundamental teachings of Judaism. But

he also received many messages of support. "I can't tell you how many rabbis

called me, e- mailed me and wrote me, saying, `God bless you for saying what

we all believe,' " Rabbi Wolpe said. He attributes the "explosion" set off

by his sermon to "the reluctance of rabbis to say what they really believe."

Before the introduction of "Etz Hayim," the Conservative movement relied on

the Torah commentary of Joseph Hertz, the chief rabbi of the British

Commonwealth. By 1936, when it was issued, the Hebrew Bible had come under

intense scrutiny from scholars like Julius Wellhausen of Germany, who raised

many questions about the text's authorship and accuracy. Hertz, working in

an era of rampant anti-Semitism and of Christian efforts to demonstrate the

inferiority of the "Old" Testament to the "New," dismissed all doubts about

the integrity of the text.

Maintaining that no people would have invented for themselves so

"disgraceful" a past as that of being slaves in a foreign land, he wrote

that "of all Oriental chronicles, it is only the Biblical annals that

deserve the name of history."

The Hertz approach had little competition until 1981, when the Union of

American Hebrew Congregations, the official arm of Reform Judaism, published

its own Torah commentary. Edited by Rabbi Gunther Plaut, it took note of the

growing body of archaeological and textual evidence that called the accuracy

of the biblical account into question. The "tales" of Genesis, it flatly

stated, were a mix of "myth, legend, distant memory and search for origins,

bound together by the strands of a central theological concept." But Exodus,

it insisted, belonged in "the realm of history." While there are scholars

who consider the Exodus story to be "folk tales," the commentary observed,

"this is a minority view."

Twenty years later, the weight of scholarly evidence questioning the Exodus

narrative had become so great that the minority view had become the majority

one.

Not among Orthodox Jews, however. They continue to regard the Torah as the

divine and immutable word of God. Their most widely used Torah commentary,

known as the Stone Edition (1993), declares in its introduction "that every

letter and word of the Torah was given to Moses by God."

Lawrence Schiffman, a professor at New York University and an Orthodox Jew,

said that "Etz Hayim" goes so far in accepting modern scholarship that,

without realizing it, it ends up being in "nihilistic opposition" to what

Conservative Jews stand for. He noted, however, that most of the questions

about the Bible's accuracy had been tucked away discreetly in the back. "The

average synagogue-goer is never going to look there," he said.

Even some Conservative rabbis feel uncomfortable with the depth of the

doubting. "I think the basic historicity of the text is valid and

verifiable," said Susan Grossman, the rabbi of Beth Shalom Congregation in

Columbia, Md., and a co-editor of "Etz Hayim." As for the mounting

archaeological evidence suggesting the contrary, Rabbi Grossman said:

"There's no evidence that it didn't happen. Most of the `evidence' is

evidence from silence."

"The real issue for me is the eternal truths that are in the text," she

added. "How do we apply this hallowed text to the 21st century?" One way,

she said, is to make it more relevant to women. Rabbi Grossman is one of

many women who worked on "Etz Hayim," in an effort to temper the Bible's

heavily patriarchal orientation and make the text more palatable to modern

readers. For example, the passage in Genesis that describes how the aged

Sarah laughed upon hearing God say that she would bear a son is

traditionally interpreted as a laugh of incredulity. In its commentary,

however, "Etz Hayim" suggests that her laughter "may not be a response to

the far- fetched notion of pregnancy at an advanced age, but the laughter of

delight at the prospect of two elderly people resuming marital intimacy."

In a project of such complexity, there were inevitably many points of

disagreement. But Rabbi Kushner says the only one that eluded resolution

concerned Leviticus 18:22: "Do not lie with a male as one lies with a woman;

it is an abhorrence." "We couldn't come to a formulation that we could all

be comfortable with," the rabbi said. "Some people felt that homosexuality

is wrong. We weren't prepared to embrace that as the Conservative position.

But at the same time we couldn't say this is a mentality that has been

disproved by contemporary biology, for not everyone was prepared to go along

with that." Ultimately, the editors settled on an anodyne compromise, noting

that the Torah's prohibitions on homosexual relations "have engendered

considerable debate" and that Conservative synagogues should "welcome gay

and lesbian congregants in all congregational activities."

Since the fall, when "Etz Hayim" was issued, more than 100,000 copies have

been sold. Eventually, it is expected to become the standard Bible in the

nation's 760 Conservative synagogues.

Mark S. Smith, a professor of Bible and Near Eastern Studies at New York

University, noted that the Hertz commentary had lasted 65 years. "That's

incredible," he said. "If `Etz Hayim' isn't around for 50 years or more, I'd

be surprised."

Its longevity, however, may depend on the pace of archaeological discovery.
