The astronaut Palenque

A remarkable discovery can dispel the doubts still exist. In the state of Chiapas, Mexico, on the vast field of Mayan ruins of Palenque, dominated by a large pyramid, stands the so-called Temple of the Inscriptions.

It was there in 1945, where the archaeologist Alberto Ruiz Lhuillier discovered a strange relief that represents a conical object with a tailpipe on. A priest looks stretched upward and maintains levers in their hands.

The Mayan hieroglyphs contained within the drawing of the sarcophagus have been interpreted as the Sun, Moon and the Polar Star, thus confirming the interpretation of cosmic relief.

Who were these visitors, "Can we ever think that we have left? Does this mean that there is an invisible presence, protector of mankind, influenced by doctrines that thousands of years ago beings from other worlds bequeathed to the former priests?

Maybe here we find the reason for the existence of many secret societies who, since the ancient times, have saved the knowledge that, presumably, other beings they passed. Perhaps the next phase, in which we find ourselves, is to decipher the data suitable for the final touch.

Unfortunately for astronauts

The list of misfortunes occurred in the space race is long and diverse, and is dotted with curious facts. For example, the three members of the Soyuz crew of 11 have the unfortunate honor of being the only humans who have died in outer space stifled by the failure of an air valve in 1971.

Four years earlier, cosmonaut Vladimir M. Komarov became the first man to die in a space mission when his parachute Soyuz 1 were not opened during re-entry.

Others, directly, seemed GAF: Gus Grissom nearly drowned in 1961, when his capsule sank after amerizar in the Pacific; six years later, died along with his colleagues in the fire happened at the launch of Apollo 1.

Incidentally, this fire took place in the same week of the year that the Challenger disaster and the Columbia: January 27, January 28 and February 1 respectively.
Then there are cases like the cosmonaut G. G. Nelyubov, who did not die, but he ruined his career Solita: destined to be the successor of Gagarin, got drunk, get into a fight with an army patrol and refused to apologize.
The result: both his name and his image was deleted from the Soviet space programme.

Survivors of shuttle Columbia

Although hardly believe in the accident suffered by the Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003 there were survivors.

A report released by scientists at the Ames Research Center of NASA has confirmed. This is about nematodes-Caenorhabditis elegans, tiny worms 1 mm in length travelling in an aluminum capsule as part of an experiment whose objective was to study their growth and reproduction in space.

Apparently, while the shuttle disintegrated in the atmosphere during its return trip, animals left dismissed from the ship and hit against the Earth with a force 2,295 times that of Earth gravity.

Unfortunately, the astronauts perished. The discovery demonstrates that small life forms could survive re-entry into our atmosphere.
