The space shuttle Discovery landed a little while ago (22:14 Israel time) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The shuttle returned from the International Space Station, where its crew installed the station's last set of solar collectors, in preparation for the shuttle's crew expansion in May.

The landing was smooth, although it was difficult to watch it, even through the television cameras, due to the heavy fog that covered the area. Rain clouds that interfered with the landing at the planned time and caused it to be delayed by about an hour and a half moved north towards northern Florida and Georgia.

Earlier they arrived at the space station The 19th crew members as well as the space tourist Charles Simoni who already took off in 2005. Simoni paid $35 million for the pleasure.

  1. What is science? Science is a field that studies nature. And who created nature? The Almighty! From this it follows that science is a field that investigates the wonders of creation! If, for example, the Hubble Space Telescope picks up a star that has exploded, this is an opportunity to see a little of the infinite power of the Almighty and the beauty that He created!
    And on another matter, what do the yeshiva boys do (not all of them, God forbid! There are many good people in yeshiva. These are people who do nothing but sit in yeshiva.)? Warming their seat! I myself keep Torah and Mitzvot and I look down on them! Why? Because apart from learning Torah, which is a very important thing, they do nothing! They do not work for their livelihood and their families suffer from poverty! They live at the expense of the state money that honest and decent people paid for! This is a steal!
    And also, the same yeshiva boys mentioned above are evading the army by the state's "Torah Omanato" program. There is a mitzvah to do from the Torah that every man who is qualified for it must be part of the Israelite army, and they violate it! There is a severe mitzvah called "war mitzvah" which says that every able-bodied man must fight in a war between the people of Israel and another people, and they violate it!
    So with forgiveness from you, first of all try to judge others as a right and not as a duty, and before you look for faults in others, look for them yourself first.
    End of discussion.

  2. to "Shomer Shabbat",
    You do not belong on this site. It is possible that without science you would not be in this world today.
    Before the modern science of the last 100 years the average life expectancy was only about 50-60 years. In the evening, after a hard day's work, people sat bored in the dark or by candlelight.
    Traveling from place to place was done in carriages or slow and dangerous sailing or steam ships.
    There were no computers, books and newspapers (until the invention of printing), radio, television, fixed and mobile telephones, cars, trains, planes, ships, advanced medicine, and more and more...
    The ultra-Orthodox even benefit directly from science and technology: automatic devices for turning appliances on and off on Shabbat, machines for printing unlimited amounts of holy scriptures, washing machines and sophisticated kitchen equipment that make it easier for them to take care of their dozens of children, and of course the list goes on very long.
    Therefore, "Shabbat watcher", do not spit into the well from which you drink...
    Beyond that, a huge and unimaginable loss has been caused to Israeli society as a result of tens or hundreds of thousands of ultra-Orthodox investing all their time in Torah study. I am sure that many of them would have been smart enough to study engineering or medicine for their advancement and the advancement of all the people of Israel instead of being a burden on the tax payer.
    "Shomer Shabbat", read my letter again and maybe you will understand.

  3. Shabbat keeper,
    First, you responded on Saturday.

    Second thing - even Judaism says that every person in our world is allowed to believe in whatever god he wants,
    So in fact you are disbelieving yourself.

  4. Shabbat Keeper:
    And how should you fight them?
    By talking nonsense?
    It will never succeed with such a method!

  5. BSD
    My divine duty is to fight the infidels and scientists and return the secular to the fold of the Torah!!

  6. Let's not open this topic again. Shomer Shabbat you know you don't belong on this site, so please don't comment anymore and don't try to force your religion on us.

  7. BSD
    Wait and see - we religious people multiply more than the secular scientists - on average we bring 5-7 children into the world who grow up on the knees of the Torah and will study it their whole lives.
    Already in Bibi's new government, we received huge budget increases while you - the scientists - your budget is cut and will be cut!!
    It is the spirit of justice and the Torah that brings the state to invest in the right places - more Torah Talmuds, more support for yeshiva students, and all for the sake of God's worship!!

  8. Shabbat keeper,

    I see you are poisoned by religion, without science you wouldn't have stayed here long

  9. pleasantness:
    Filled a computer…
    After all, without science he wouldn't have electricity and he wouldn't have medicines.
    Of the dozens of children he fathered or will bear - only a few would have survived (and this on the condition that he himself would have survived) and more and more.
    On the other hand, I wouldn't call his words thoughtful.
    It has the connotation of thought and it is clear that he is not thinking at all - he himself acts as a computer that in general repeats the mantras that washed his mind.

  10. Shabbat keeper,

    The "heresy called science" is the one that allows you to use a computer to express your thoughts.

    Give respect to heresy…

  11. BSD
    Stop with your nonsense reports and concentrate on the truth - holy work!!
    With God's help, the new government will bring the people of Israel closer to the values ​​of the Torah and the service of God
    Instead of dealing with heresy called science!!
