Welcome to Grasp The Universe

There is overwhelming evidence that we are not alone. Any kind of a healthy dose of curiosity on the matter is viewed upon as conspiracy.

Recent Advances in Science & Technology

Only now are we able to confirm that other stars have planets. Given the age of some solar systems, older and more advanced intelligent life very likely can be found elsewhere in the galaxy. The idea that faster then light travel might be possible opens up the possibility that they could be visiting us or at least passing by.

While right here on our planet we are discovering life where once thought impossible. Extremophiles live in the most extreme conditions and are even able to survive a trip to space and back.

We start to realize that life-bearing conditions are far more common than previously thought.

Star Travel

UFO's are real. No claim can be made as to the origin of these unidentified flying objects. Many can not simply be dismissed as hoaxes or natural anomalies. They demonstrate advanced propulsion techniques and maneuverability that can't be matched by even our best military aircraft. At least not by any known by the public. I think that most craft are our black ops including all the triangles and a few might even be from somewhere unknown to us, maybe true visitors.

Let's review the evidence and ask ourselves seriously: "What are the chances?"

    Father and Son Launch an iPhone into Outer Space

    Video from a camera attached to a weather balloon that rose into the upper stratosphere and recorded the blackness of space. Seven-year-old Max Geissbuhler and his dad Luke Geissbuhler dreamed of visiting space. Armed with just a weather balloon, a video camera, and an iPhone, they basically did just that.

    The father-and-son team from Brooklyn managed to send their homemade spacecraft up nearly 19 miles, high into the stratosphere, bringing back perhaps the most impressive amateur space footage ever. The duo housed the video camera, iPhone, and GPS equipment in a specially designed insulated casing, along with some hand-warmers and a note from Max requesting its safe return from whomever may find it after making it back to solid ground. All told, father and son spent eight months preparing for their homemade journey into space, in hopes of filming “the blackness beyond our earth.”

    Then, one day in August, Max, his father, and his friend Miles Horner headed out to a nearby park to see their dreams realized. After attaching their equipment to a 19-inch weather balloon and switching on the camera, they watched as their simple craft disappeared high into the sky.

      Just to clarify, technically they didn’t make it to ‘outer space’, but rather the stratosphere which is part of earth’s atmosphere. Very cool, though.

      I’m not sure what exactly you want to know.

      But the iPhone’s only function is to broadcast the coordinates. GPS signal starts sending once the craft falls back down within the reach of cellphone towers.
