There are always problems with new equipment.

The miscalculated operational range would danger F-35C fighter-program, says news bulletin from the U.S NAVY. The U.S NAVY:s new stealth fighter F-35C have a problem, that it's combat radius have been miscalculated. The problem with those calculations has been that the F-35C has the very powerful jet engine, what of course uses very much fuel, and that was made problematic for calculating the radius of that military aircraft. When some new equipment is taken in the service, there are always problems with them, and that means the problems can be solved, but this means that with those technical problems must be honest, and make work to find them. Only the problems, what is found can be solved, and as we know that engineering work is very systematic.


Almost every other systems have found problems when they are first taken in use, and one of the most well-known cases was when U.S NAVY F-14 "Tomcat"  got the computerized AWG-9 fire-control system for its AIM-54 "Phoenix" missile system, that aircraft turned upside down when it crossed the Equator. Here I must confess that I don't remember the type of the aircraft really sharp, because there have been over 20 years from that case. This situation caused, because of the programmer of the computer forget, that there would be the world after the Equator, and then that aircraft turned upside down.


This kind of mistakes are very common in the new systems, and that's why engineers have been hired by the military forces. Their mission is to find those errors and fix them. If the new system doesn't have any errors,  that would be suspicious. Errors, what is found are the mark that the system has been tested properly, and if some brand new system would not found errors, would that mean that there would not be followed the testing instructions and procedures. As we know, in the engineering work people don't just expect that some things are working perfectly.


Engineers make tests before they accept the conclusion, that the system works. And when we are talking about the combat system, we would say, that those systems are extremely mission-critical, and that's why they must work perfectly before they are going to act. The pilots would not want to see in the real situation above enemy terrain, that their multi-million dollar aircraft would not work, because that could lethal when the real enemy is facing those fighters.

The story about lost cosmonauts still lives on

When we are thinking of early years of space flights, we must say that no engineering work comes from nowhere. There must make work with those vehicles, and then there would happen some mistakes with them. And those mistakes confesses, that engineers made their best, and all tests were done. NASA has been dared to show those mistakes, and that might save the lives of American astronauts.


There were actually some secrets in the space capsules, what was not told to the public audience. One was that in some cases are the capsules used inertial navigation system or they were remote controlled, and somebody claims that none astronauts ever made any maneuvers by Mercury or Vostok-capsules. But when we are thinking about the lost astronauts or cosmonauts, we must say that there might be something, what is not told to people. Until NASA:s shuttle orbiter and the cases, when that space plane was used to launch secret military satellites, would the public audience noticed that there were some secret space missions.


There have been found some objects, what looks like skulls from Mars, and somebody has thought that maybe those strange objects were monkeys, what send to Mars for returning test, and then the carbon dioxide pocket have been collapsed and the spacecraft would be destroyed. In this theory, those habitats were sent to there without official permission, and then the permission denied. When we are talking about strange stories about malfunctions of Alexey Leonov space suit during his first spacewalk during spacewalk in Voskhod 2 flight, we must think that those technical problems support the theory, that maybe some cosmonauts were killed, when their space suits or capsules pressure was dropped to zero, or burned into the atmosphere.


I think that this kind of accidents was kept secret from other cosmonauts. Maybe those lost cosmonauts were served in secret space missions, where they flew some secret space recon planes, like "Vostok-type recon satellites", what mission would be targeted and follow the nuclear strikes. Maybe those manned satellites saw use in the early 1960's. When we are thinking about the political atmosphere in the Soviet Union during the Vostok-program, we must say that maybe Yuri Gagarin, was not the first man in the space. That would give the Soviet authorities possibility to close that hero's mouth. The Soviet authorities might not tell that thing to Gagarin, who really believed, that he was the first man in the space.


Maybe his death during the routine flight was suicide because somebody mentioned him about that failed man. There are many rumors about secret space flights to the moon, and if those missions were not made exactly right, can those spacecraft lost in space. And if the spacecraft would miss the orbiter of the Moon, it would go straight to outer space without the opportunity to return. But without evidence, this text is pure fiction. Nothing more.
