Outer Space Treaty Signed (1967) The Outer Space Treaty represents the basic legal framework of international space law. It bans the stationing of weapons of mass destruction in outer space, exclusively limits the use of the Moon and other celestial bodies to peaceful purposes, and forbids any government from claiming a celestial resource, such as the Moon or a planet, on the grounds that they are the common heritage of mankind. ![]() ![]() LETS BEGIN IN 2010 |

Hitler Is Appointed Chancellor of Germany (1933) Hitler's rise to power began long before 1933, with his development of the Nazi party in the early 1920s and the widespread release of his book, Mein Kampf, in 1925. After the Nazi party lost seats in Germany's November 1932 parliamentary elections, leading businessmen and political figures appealed to Germany's president to appoint Hitler chancellor. As chancellor, Hitler quickly moved to eliminate his rivals and consolidate his power. ![]() ![]() LETS BEGIN IN 2010 |

Hydrogen Bomb Lost in the Ocean (1958) The Tybee Bomb is a 7,600-lb (3,500-kg) hydrogen bomb containing 400 lb (180 kg) of conventional high explosives and highly enriched uranium. During a simulated combat mission, the B-47 bomber carrying it collided with an F-86 fighter plane and the bomb was jettisoned and lost. It is presumed to be somewhere in Wassaw Sound, off the shores of Georgia's Tybee Island, but recovery efforts have been unsuccessful. ![]() ![]() LETS BEGIN IN 2010 |

Hydrogen Bomb Lost in the Ocean (1958) Maybe it's me, but that is very unsettling. |

Hydrogen Bomb Lost in the Ocean (1958) I guess the same happened to the people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August the 6th and 9th, but they had no chance to post it. Though this is an extreme case, in January 1966 the same happened in southern Spain when a B-52 crashed with a KC-135 during refueling over Palomares in AlmerÃÂa. Nobody knows why they [the bombs] did not blow up!!! The area is still affected by radiation. That´s fact. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hydrogen Bomb Lost in the Ocean (1958) Hey folks, none of this is making me feel any better. Up until now, I've been primarily concerned with the meteor that will eventually hit us. Gee, 'ignorance is bliss.' |

That´s why we try to keep on topic!!! But don´t worry: if such a meteor hit us, the off topic issue won´t be an issue anymore! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

That´s why we try to keep on topic!!! Well, my legitimate question would be, is there a real danger of these super-weapons being disturb and somehow becoming active. |

Singapore Established as a Trading Post (1819) Situated along busy shipping routes that connect Europe to China, the Port of Singapore is the world's busiest port in terms of shipping tonnage handled. In 1819, Sultan Hussein Shah signed a treaty that effectively established Singapore as a trading post and transferred control of the island to the British East India Company. Singapore was made a British crown colony in 1867 and became a self-governing state in 1959 ![]() ![]() LETS BEGIN IN 2010 |

Maastricht Treaty Establishes The European Union (1992) The history of the European Union (EU) began soon after WWII, when there developed in Europe a strong revulsion against national rivalries and parochial loyalties. The idea of a united Europe was seen as the basis for European strength and security, and the European Coal and Steel Company, established in 1951, was the first attempt at accomplishing this. In 1992, the Maastricht Treaty, formally the Treaty on European Union, officially established the EU ![]() ![]() LETS BEGIN IN 2010 |
