HEADLINE NEWSIOS and Vision One Enter Joint Venture Agreement
Interorbital Systems (IOS), an American rocket and spacecraft manufacturing company,
and Vision One have entered into a joint venture agreement to launch a satellite-based webcam (‘Eyes in Space’), into low Earth orbit. The webcam, located at an altitude of 200 miles (322 KM), will give internet users a unique and privileged view of Earth from space.

HEALTHThe Story of Alfons Ven, his revolutionary Vision and his 28-day cure
Meeting Alfons VenOver the many years of research into consciousness, amazing technologies and alternative health I have met with some incredible people. Some were well intentioned, others were deceitful and a very few lived up to their teachings or claims.I recently had the privilege of meeting one of these rare Beings. A genuine person. After surviving a living hell for some 30 years and overcoming personal difficulties Alfons Ven a systems engineer by profession educated himself into the sciences and arts of various disciplines including homeopathy, ayurveda and alchemy. More than 40.000 people worldwide already have experienced the benefits of this technology.Because we strongly support Alfons, we created an independent Website with all informations about Alfons and his incredible story. !

EDITORIALby Bruce JessopA cosmic vision on a down-to-earth budget’ might well summarize the adventure Roderick and Randa Milliron embarked upon when they founded Interorbital Systems (IOS).
The Rocket-ConnectionEqually important, I could see that with decades of preparation they were very competent to conduct such a venture. Their devoted team of technicians and scientists, assembled over the years, had both the training and expertise to see this through. In fact they had onboard a highly respected scientist by the name of Lutz Kayser who had in fact been a handpicked protégé of the famous rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun.
When Wernher became the first human to send a rocket into space from the test area at Peenemuende, Germany, on October 23, 1942, his dream had been to use an oxidizer other than the liquid oxygen which propelled the V2: that chemical was nitric acid (HNO3).
That oxidizer was unavailable at that time, but to von Braun, the acid was the perfect choice. In 1942, all nitric acid had been consigned to munitions production, so von Braun had to pull liquid oxygen (LOX) from the air and used LOX (as a default) to continue with his V2 program. But nitric acid was his oxidizer of choice; he had written extensively and proposed that missions to Mars (“The Mars Project” by Wernher von Braun) be conducted using nitric acid, because of its superior performance and storability characteristics.
When Roderick and Lutz joined forces with the intent of carrying out a lunar mission, they became a vector through which the vast knowledge of the early rocket pioneers and Moon rocket creators could be channeled: together they would carry on the powerful von Braun-Debus legacy through the use of what the greatest rocket experts of all time considered the prime oxidizer for reliable, low-cost, interplanetary space transportation systems: nitric acid. Eyes in Space ?With this powerhouse of rocket talent suddenly available to us, I asked if Interorbital could possibly launch a small camera (see Eyes in Space) through which one could view live from space our beautiful planet Earth?
The answer was yes. So we eventually got down to what such a venture would cost. They told me that other than IOS, the least expensive launches for small payloads to low Earth orbit (LEO) were offered by the Russians at a cost of approximately $10 million USD----just for the launch, excluding the payload costs--- and up to the hundreds of millions for other carriers (ouch! that would exclude any possibility we had to assist them at that financial level) but (here's the good news) they would be able to complete development of their launch vehicle, and launch such a project, with camera/telemetry payload included, for $1.2 million USD. As to the follow-on Moon Mission, the price would be $35 million USD----compared to $140 million for a similar NASA mission, or more than $175 million if flown by the Chinese. The IOS founders stated that they would also be willing to donate a percentage of future profits to support Vision One in carrying on its philanthropic pursuits. Hmmm... interesting. Important QuestionsWhile discussing this possibility my mind went a little farther, and I wondered if we had a sequel to Fastwalkers in the making. Could we ever dream of sending a camera to circumnavigate the moon at close range and transmit images back to earth? With this pure private-sector data, we could have the answers to the following questions:1) Have US astronauts actually been to the Moon, or was it, as some have suggested, only a Cold War ploy? With our own camera delivering uncensored images, could we validate that artifacts were left on the Moon by the Apollo missions?

PossibilitiesVery intriguing possibilities, but how do we raise the money? Well, again, the conventional way maybe, at a cost of hundreds of millions, but again with IOS' launch system, a Hollywood production company, a TV Network, or corporate sponsor could handle the costs that would otherwise be completely out of reach for entities other mega-corporate players, governments, or the military/ industrial complex.So after this meeting and much reflection it was decided that we would create a funding pipeline: Vision One. We could make this all happen with the help of 1.5 million individuals worldwide. In fact, we would create a database of donors and ‘micro-philanthropists’ who would be in favor of funding up to 5 projects a year (if and when available) with each person contributing a minimum of $1.00 or EUR 1.00 per project up to a maximum of $1.5 million per project. The criteria for Vision One support would be that each technology would benefit humanity at an affordable price and lessen the financial burden (reverse the need for money) on individuals and families, and that each project would function beyond corporate-governmental control: an effort of the people, for the people. So it is with enthusiasm and hope that we launch Vision One, and with the peoples’ combined financial support empower the founders of Interorbital Systems to fulfill their vision and thereby take humanity to unexpected heights and rewards. |
