STAR TREK/WARS TECHNOLOGY
Greetings my friends!
Are all of you ready to head into a change of seasons? It will be early autumn for me but there are those of you who live where it will be early spring soon. I love the way God set up our planet to have season changes. I look forward to autumn more that any other season.
Speaking of changes, have any of you heard about asteroid Bennu? Bennu, discovered in 1999, is a large asteroid that has an elliptical path crossing Earth’s orbit every six years. Bennu, which is around 500 meters in diameter at its equator and travels around the sun at 63,000mph, is projected to pass between Earth and the moon in 2135. The Chelyabinsk meteoroid was much smaller by comparison.

It is interesting yet sad that so much money is being spent in the desire to “learn” what the origins of the cosmos is. “The mission team is chiefly interested in learning the role that asteroids like Bennu — dark, primitive and apparently carbon-rich objects — may have played in helping life get a foothold on Earth.”2 We already have this information, written clearly for us in the Bible. And there is so much physical evidence to back it up. If only the scales would drop off their eyes!
The only valid part of the mission in my opinion, is in allowing scientists to recalculate the impact probability of the asteroid. Then a gravity tractor can be employed. This Star Trek technology in which a robotic probe flies alongside the space rock for months or years, gradually nudging it off course via a slight gravitational tug (the greater the probe’s mass, the stronger its gravitational pull— kind of like a tug boat) is truly here.
Also a Kinetic Energy Impactor (KEI) may also be utilized to deflect the asteroid. A KEI utilizes kinetic energy, or energy
from motion, that turns into an explosion of the object's (its landing on/hitting) material. As the material blows away it pushes like rocket exhaust resulting in pushing the pieces off course thus preventing an impact with Earth. Kinetic energy equals the speed-of-impact-squared times the mass (Remember the movie Armageddon with Bruce Willis?).
Yes its Trek/Wars technology all right! But all of this exciting technology tends to take our eyes off of Who’s really is in charge. The Creator, God of heaven and Earth, Jesus Christ.
Until next time, God bless and take care,

PS here’s some more space information: NASA “wants astronauts to visit the redirected asteroid by 2025, to meet an exploration deadline set by the White House. In 2010, President Barack Obama directed NASA to get people to a near-Earth asteroid by 2025 and then on to the vicinity of Mars by the mid-2030s.”3 Imagine how that much money could help mankind cure famines, disease and poverty.
