Are Russian Space Troubles From Beyond Mars?

1. The head of the Russian space agency has hinted that foreign sabotage might be to blame for the malfunction of the country's Martian space probe, Phobos-Grunt.
2. In Russian, there is only one word to mean both "foreign" and "alien."
3. Vladimir Popovkin told Russian newspaper Izvestia,"Today there is no clarity, why the propulsion unit onboard Phobos-Grunt failed to start.
   "It is also unclear, why our satellites often have failures at the time when they fly out of range where we don't see the vehicle and do not receive telemetry from it.
   "I don’t want to make any accusations, but today there is powerful equipment to influence spacecrafts, and the possibility of their use should not be ruled out....”

Given the long history of Russian space program failures in their Martian efforts - while not in their Earth-orbit and lunar missions - it is interesting to note that there is only the translator's preference to tell us of "foreign" rather than "alien" sabotage.
When will NASA and ESA admit that they know what has been wreaking havoc on the Martian probes of Russia?
Can there be any doubt that it has been witnessed and recorded by the many and highly capable satellites orbiting our planet?
Why won't these government agencies inform the public of what is causing these failures?
This is especially irresponsible as we await this weekend's rain of flaming debris from their latest casualty: Phobos-Grunt.
We will report back here as more information is received.

Russians, Asteroids, and Mars

1. Russia launched an interplanetary craft, headed for Mars.
2. An asteroid passed close to the Earth - within the orbit of the Moon
3. The Russian spaceship - with a Chinese satellite aboard - has become disabled in Earth orbit.

This is just the most recent in a long line of failed Russian Mars expeditions. The interesting coincidence comes with the fact that the Chinese are using this ship to get a satellite to Mars, and that it failed at the same time that a giant "asteroid" was passing close to the Earth - closer than the Moon is.

When will the Russian space agency admit that they've been targeted for failure?
When will NASA and the ESA release un-edited footage of the purported asteroid passing by the Earth?
Do they actually expect us to accept this event as simply a coincidence? Again?

We'll be monitoring the situation, and will report back here as more facts become available.

Semantics, Not Science

1. Hiranya Peiris, a cosmologist at University College London, and her team claim to have evidence of other universes.
2. A multi-verse setup is posited by some cosmologists in order to get around questions like "Why are things the way they are instead of some other way?" In a multi-verse, they can simply assert that things are that way in some other universe.
3. Dr Peiris and team are using background microwave radiation as evidence that they've found another universe.

Ignoring the questions of whether we might be in one universe among many, and whether these folks have actually interpreted their data correctly, the real question is this:
What do you mean we have radiation - and therefor information - coming here from another universe? If we are connected enough to communicate, what sense does it make to call it another universe? Clearly just not touching isn't adequate, or Earth and Mars would be separate universes - in fact, why not New York and London? They don't touch, but they can communicate, just as in these supposed trans-multi-verse broadcasts.

Frankly it sickens me to see purported scientists simply redefining terms in order to garner attention, publication, and funding. Frankly, I'd like to see a cosmologist come up with some experiments to test their hypotheses, if they want to be considered scientists rather than philosophical observers.
