USS Enterprise CV-6
The USS Enterprise CV-6 fascinated me when I began to watch episodes on Netflix about her called "Battle 360". I used to like the Air Force better than all the other Armed Forces. But at this time, I put the US Navy on top of my Armed Forces favorite list.
I am so sad that she was sold for scraps. I wish it would've been turned into a floating museum. One of my two reasons why I wanted it was a museum is because I want to join the Navy and see the inside of a real aircraft carrier and the other reason is so that I could be on one of the US Navy's best Aircraft carrier.
One of the facts is that everyone called the USS Enterprise the "the Big E" for short ( or it was her nickname, I don't know). Enterprise was the sixth aircraft carrier in the United States Navy. The Big E was ordered in 1933. Builder was Newport News Shipbuilding. She was launched on October 3,1936.
The Big E had these honors and awards: Campaign Star, 20 Battle Stars, Presidential Unit Citation, Navy Unit Commendation, American Defense Service Medal ( "Fleet" clasp), American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal ( 20 stars), World War 2 Victory Medal, Philippine Presidential Unit Citation, Philippine Liberation Medal ( 1 star), and British Admiralty Pennant. She was decommissioned on 17 February 1947.
There were many attempts that were made at preserving the ship as a museum or memorial, but fund-raising efforts failed to raise enough money so they had to sell it for scraps. The USS Enterprise was scrapped from 1958 to 1960. It was the end of USS Enterprise CV-6.
Tebow wins against Pittsburgh
In the 1st quarter, the Steelers lead 6-0. But then, somehow, the Broncos began scoring and lead 20-6. In the third and fourth quarter, the Steelers started scoring again. At 0:00 the two teams were tied 23-23. in OT, the Steelers long snapper the ball too high for Roethlisberger which led to a loss of yards. The very next play was4th down. But then Ben was hit and he fumbled. Pittsburgh did recover it, but it was a loss of even more yards. They were forced to punt. On the play after the punt, Denver ran about 80 yards to the end zone. Touchdown, Denver! Denver had won in over time at that time, 29-23. I am a huge Steelers fan. Actually, the Pittsburgh Steelers is my first favorite NFL football team, Packers second, Broncos third, and so on. I do like Tebow but I always want my favorite team to win. But for tonight's game, I hope God will help guide him to victory. Tim Tebow is a great quarterback and never hides that he loves God and that he is Christian. God bless Tebow and help him win.

Scientists find a new planet a lot like Earth
NASA has found a new planet a lot like ours just outside of the solar system, in the Goldilocks zone. They think that this is a perfect place for life, but they think it's a little too big. The temperature is around 72 degrees. This was the first planet found in the habitable zone for Kelper. Kelper is a satellite, which was launched on a planet-hunting mission in 2009. The planet was named Kelper-22b.
Ron Paul Statements about being glad the NLRB dropped lawsuit against Boeing
There is some great news that the NLRB dropped its lawsuit against Boeing for deciding to build a new plant in South Carolina.
Statement from Congressman Ron Paul:
“Hearing that the NLRB decided to stop pursuing its ongoing harassment of Boeing was welcomed news. I would like to think this is more than just a political move by the Obama administration with an election year looming, but experience tells me otherwise.
“I have long been an advocate for the rights of workers to work without interference by big government, often acting as facilitator for big labor. My unblemished voting record on the issue of right to work, according to the National Right To Work Committee, is a testament to that fact.
“The idea that government bureaucrats, acting to empower union officials, would try to stop a private company from building a new plant is an affront to the very principles of economic liberty this country was founded upon. These are principles I have pledged to uphold my entire career.
“As President I will work to repeal all federal laws that force workers and employers to submit to union officials and their enforcers in the federal bureaucracy.”

Saturn's moon Titan
I looked at 50 pictures of Titan a couple weeks ago. It had said that if your spacesuit burst open, you would only have a headache. There is a picture that shows the exact sizes of Earth, Titan, and our moon. The Earth is 1st biggest, Titan is 2nd biggest, and our moon is the smallest. Another picture shows a lake on Titan much bigger than Lake Superior. August 27, 2011
The Space Program
Space and science have been my 1st favorite subjects since I graduated from Kindergarten. That's why I'm so sad that Obama had cut the space program. I'm also sad that the Space Shuttle missions are over. When I was around 7 and 8 years old I read about someone named Sally Ride. She had said that the person to be the first one to step on Mars is a child somewhere on the Earth right now. I started to think about me being first on Mars. That was when I started talking about nothing but me being first on Mars. Soon after that, I had gotten a "space theatre in my room" for Christmas. I also got a couple more space books. Orion is my 1st favorite constellation. I have a huge map of the constellations and a picture of Orion from the Hubble Telescope. I hope we get the Space Program back soon and that the new rocket that will take us up into space will be better and more improved. Who would I vote for if I could vote
