Old bombers for Iran!

 From the 1960's B-52 to the 1990's B-2?

What fire power the USAAF are deploying is old kit perhaps with modern computer chip technology and new types of bombs like the buster ammunition's, but last time around in the twelve day war they were not as effective, as the U.S. president wanted everyone to believe!

Now with the introduction of the Stealth B-1 there is hope tthat hey the will do a better job that the aging B-52's and forty year old B-2's, but in their own right they are old too some fifty plus years and nothing really new has been invested in the bomber fleet over that time?

As to fighters, only the F-22 and F-35 are newer kit, perhaps with improved long-range drones such as the triton, which is limited to day-light operations!

The truth about the USAAF is that even its air refueling KC-135's were new in the Vietnam war, proving a lack of investment, but they may do a good job in breaking the missile power of Iran, but ending the religious fanatics is a different matter?

Neptune and Uranus?

 Watery Worlds!

Missions to these two cold giants is not planned for the near future and the Hubble Telescope is to spend it last few years taking regular observations?

Recently it has been discovered that these two giant worlds are made of water, but as to their structure this is still not known! Much of this knowledge is coming from the Juno probe that is orbiting Jupiter and revealing its internal structure, which may act in a similar way for all four giants?

Uranus is covered in cloud and looks like the cue ball on a snooker table, there is really nothing to see accept that it lies on its side meaning only one pole is lit and the other remains dark. The strange thing about the belts and Moons of this world is that they are hard to see because of unknown dark materials?

Meanwhile Neptune is blue with wispy high clouds and a black spot that moves and changes or may be replaces by another every so many years? Neptune has one of the largest Moons in the Solar system that of Triton, which many now believe may be a captured Pluto type world?

Triton is believed to be active with volcanism and other mysterious features discovered by Voyager in our only fly past! One thinks with so many wonderful things to discover that money should be put aside to build probes to visit and study the Moons and rings if nothing else, I think we will be surprised by what we discover there too?

Return to Mercury and Venus!

Lots going on in Space?

Recently we had a second Moon orbiting the Earth, but I think has now left and is heading away! 

It is nothing new with planets and their gravitational fields, many believe that Triton was captured by the gravity of Neptune and may be more of a minor planet such as Pluto and as we know now its many cousins (136) of them on the outer edge of our expanding Solar System!

But now we are off to Mercury and Venus once more, exploring the two inner planets may reveal that Venus is not as hot in the polar regions as once thought by the Soviet Russians who landed their rovers for eight-minutes before they melted.

Mercury has what seems to be ice or frost layers in its craters, despite being the closest object to the Sun! But these could equally be salts exposed by past bombardment?

Space X is progressing well with dockings to the International Space Station, but as yet not crewed? One more unmanned test is to be made, as the Russia claims that the U.S. is trying to capture planets in our Solar system and make them American!

If there is anyone out their, I think they will still not be bothering with our primitive world and its failure even to cooperate with millions to die from this COVID-19 Virus?
