*“To the stars through hardship.  Which could also mean that the stars
could deliver us from anything.  That in the mysteries and vastness of
space, we might not just satisfy our curiosity, our need for exploration.
But in it we might each find salvation.”*

Introduction

Steve Detwiler created this publication with the support of Graham Hancock
and the late John Anthony West to share news and information on various

always been very simple, by sharing knowledge we can make our world a
better place.  This publication is Mr. Detwiler’s contribution to bring
people together and share ideas and discoveries with his fellow humans.
