Every person perhaps reading the first sentence would wonder that space aviation has become a reality though it is largely expensive to think about. Some celebrities like Martha Stewart and other rich people paid large price to go to space trips or vacations. The Economy is very fragile or weak for many people to think about going to space. Some arguments in the government are pushing to privatize NASA because of the over expenditure that the U.S. Federal Agencies are unable anymore to accommodate for the program.
As for what my PREDICTIONS are going to be for the next 25 years, the answer vary because what we have of technology might get us to limited destinations. Perhaps, the economic situation of this nation, if improved, can allow more common people to reach their dreams and put them easily into a reality. Or, Economy can go south where might people never continue or cut back on this program.
What NASA's role will be in the next 25 years might be a prolonged question. Some challenges that NASA is facing are economic funding, Navigation challenges, mmanagement, pioneering, and many other issues. As for the current moment, NASA is suffering two issues which are funding and who controls the agency. Funding might be the most concerning one because there is a huge burden on the government that is basically deficient on how to maintain it. Lately, it considered to privatize the agency to private company because simply the agency is bankrupted or in debt for the moment. If the economy improves, it might do bigger leaps in the next 25 years of innovation. But if the economy worsen, it may stop or halt. It is beyond my scope to see how it will do without seeing a better economic situation first.
According to CNN, private companies hold the key to space travel future. Earlier, I have mentioned that companies are the key success to a better management without too many government involvement and regulation. Some might argue that it might worked good in the 1960's. So, why is it not working now since the government is the holder of that industry or the manager? Others, argue that it would be better off to see those private companies taking care of it because they are the anyway provider for its funding through the revenue that gets to be collected. So, why not take care of this child completely instead of partially?
The current purpose of space travel might be mainly exploration and recreational while in the historical past was not just exploration but rather competition mission. Since then, when President Kennedy's speech that promised to put a man on the moon, things have changed drastically and rapidly. In some aspects, I believe that it is becoming more of costing to mankind rather than helping it. However, this is an opinion which might be different than any other point of view that sees it as beneficial depending on every person's prospective.
Some of the possible career implications might hold or seek more positions to people who strive for success and achievements in the space travel industry. As aforementioned, the economic stability is the most single wheel that might steer the industry towards a positive direction or negative one resulting either in hiring more personnel or cutting back respectively.
Summing up, I wish that our nation's economy improves along with more innovation that will allow the average person to go to the space in the near future rather than staying on earth booking vacations to places that we have perhaps seen. I would definitely love to book myself a vacation to the moon with my wife on honeymoon so we can call it a HONEYMOON!

ETS Trap That Europe Is Setting for Us?
Anyone who wonders what does this EU- ETS measure mean will smell the tyranny of socialism being imposed on us from thousands miles away after reading their aspirations. The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is the world's first large experiment with an emissions trading system for carbon dioxide (CO2) and it is likely to be copied by others if there is to be a global regime for limiting greenhouse gas emissions. According to the ponzi scheme of the EU estimations that the world is exceeding 2 degrees above what the CO2 ceiling and 1.2 degree has been chosen for some reason or another that include the aviation industry. Also, according to a report by Thomson Reuters Point Carbon and RDC Aviation, scheduled carriers will get anywhere from 20 percent to 100 percent all of the allowances they’d need to offset their 2012 carbon footprint as a gift from the European government. The firm found that the EU will get 61 percent of their needed allowances along with Lufthansa and other long haul carriers 81 percent, the largest Asian carriers will get 63 percent, and the U.S. will receive 64 percent. For one year gift, who and how we are these companies going to pay these astonishing numbers? A gift....? Give me a BRAKE!
The conflict between the EU and the U.S. is completely clear that the legislative part of our government, as they should, is rejecting to participate in any of this ponzi scheme deal that is trying to redistribute the wealth around and tax more people and businesses to fund a bankrupted program that is hiding behind greenhouse title to save the environment. Last time I have checked about government creating green jobs ended in debt, deficit, and declaring bankruptcy with the solyndra deal that puts the Obama Whitehouse in a hot seat. The HR 2594 is a bill that was passed by the House of Representatives that basically prohibits operators of civil aircrafts of the United States from participating in the European Union trading scheme.
The potential impact on U.S. Companies might not be that significant but it may be negative if the EU mandates our companies to comply with rules that really do not translate at all to the jurisdictions of the United States of America even though we are operating in their airspace or countries jurisdictions. However, what the Europeans must come to realize is that the United States is not contributing all the CO2 in the atmosphere or imposing any similar measurements on the Europeans when operating in the U.S. Both U.S. Carriers and non- carriers should not participate in this deal and opt-out of the whole SCHEME that is another burden on theirs and our economy.
To conclude, last time King George the III imposed so many taxes without the consent of the People was answered by the Boston Tea Party and the Founding Fathers under the leadership of George Washington to teach them a lesson about what it meant to be free. If the EU does not realize and stop their intrusion, we may have to remind them again with another 1776 to keep their memory fresh!

I'm Following Aviation India
Aviation India is a blog that I decided to follow according to the instruction, but why this particular blog?
There was rather something interesting that caught my attention to the demand and growth of aviation industry in a country's exploding population that is four times bigger than the United States population and could perhaps surpass China as well in that particular matter. Not only India's population is growing, but there is also its economic demand and growth for the one billion and three hundred million people. industries and plants from the United States left because of the over taxing and regulation that burdened the U.S. economy that found a cheaper labor and safer environment in India that wanted and appreciated that type of work. While jobs and money are declining in the united States, they're growing in India. Therefor, transportation is demanded in this ever growing nation which is eager to prosper and give better service to its citizens.
Although India is also suffering just like any other country in this world from the global recession that hit all the countries across the Globe, its economy is in rapid growth due to the fall of the dollar's value and the slump slowing U.S. economy. Just recently after reading this blog HC to hear plea for inquiry into deal to buy 111 aircraft, India is purchasing 111 airplanes costing a whopping Rs 67,000 crore to Air India. Also, I have read these interesting topics DHL expands connectivity and International flights now allowed in Agra that caught my attention and indicate how the demand for flights in India is related to the economic growth the country is experiencing.

New Baby Born Named 787
Finally the Boeing 787 is born and now ready to hit the market and specifically Japan’s market. But before we dive into more details about the Dreamliner 787, we ought to look back to the history of Boeing Company and understand ABOUT the company's beginnings. Founded in 1916 by William E. Boeing in Seattle, Washington, Boeing has expanded over the years, merging with McDonnell Douglas in 1997. Boeing is the largest U.S. Company in the aerospace business not only producing civilian planes but military airplanes as well. It is also designs and manufactures rotor craft, electronic and defense systems, missiles, satellites, launch vehicles and advanced information and communication systems. As a major service provider to NASA, Boeing operates the Space Shuttle and International Space Station. Boeing tracks the development of the companies that merged to become a single enterprise as the twentieth century ended. It introduced many products to the market. In 1933 their first product was the B-247 and in 1938 another aircraft came to the market known as B-314 built in contract with PAN AM. Boeing also made plenty of military aircrafts such as B-17, B-29, C-97, KC-97 and B-377. These aircrafts were made during WWII. During the 1950's after WWII it continued making military aircrafts such as B-47, B-52 and KC-135 which all had shared one new thing in common that was the Jet engine. On the civilian world The B-707 was introduced to the market. In 1960 the B-727 was born and not long after six years the B-747 came out to the market in 1966. A year later, B-747 extended a Short-Medium size product B-737 to the market and to companies that desired it which is still being developed and produced. During the 1980's the Boeing was being challenged hardly by a European newcomer which is Airbus; therefore, they had to come with new models like B-757 single-aisle and B-767 double-aisle as answers to their competitors A-320, A-330 respectively. Boeing decided to compete with Airbus and launched B-777, but Airbus answered back with A-350 during the 1990's. Then, Airbus came with another answer to B-747 which is doubled-deck A-380 that costs $375.3 million per unit, produced in 2004, can carry from525-555-853 passengers, The design range for the −800 model is 15,400 km (8,300 nmi), would carry 150 tones of cargo 10,400 km (5,600 nmi), and delay of 13 months from time projection.
But Boeing answered back with birth of B-787 Dreamliner to the A-330, A-340, and A-350. The 787 has been delayed three years from its projection day to launch and costing $185-215 million per unit. the 787-8 Dreamliner will carry 210 - 250 passengers on routes of 7,650 to 8,200 nautical miles (14,200 to 15,200 kilometers), while the 787-9-10 Dreamliner will carry 250-290 and 310 passengers on routes of 8,000 to 8,500 nautical miles (14,800 to 15,750 kilometers), with cost program of 32 billion which put the company in large debt and deficit comparing to its competitor. The 787 is faster and lighter with fuel efficiency, and environmentally friendly, but more modest in passenger carrying capacity.
The Dreamliner is definitely a boost to the us economy that creates more jobs not only for pilots but also for assembly line workers, mechanics, airline workers, flight attendants, engineers, and the list goes on. Despite the innovation that Boeing has added through the decades, the company is struggling keep up with Airbus innovations and advanced technology because of the economic struggle that the country is going through and because of the heavy burden entitlement programs that unions put on the company. If the company desires to go back being the leading competitor in the industry, it needs to cut its losses and eliminate the heavy burden of the unions to exceed the expectations. Airbus has already announced that soon they will be adding new seat-self adjustment feature that automatically adjusts to human’s body structure by 2050 according to Airbus engineers.
To sum up, Boeing company will be the only decider in the aviation industry to go back to growth and innovation by unleashing the American ingenuity, welcoming new ideas, cutting its loses, and hiring people that put the company's interests ahead of their European competitors. Its impact on job creation and economy is the top priority to proof that the company is the leader in the world of aviation technology.
