	Mission Earth (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Critics of Scientology note that the "satirical" view of the planet Earth is close to the actual world view promoted by Hubbard's Church of Scientology, which believes that the entire planet is in the grip of a grand conspiracy headed by the twin demons of psychiatry and psychology([1], [2]) (See Scientology and psychiatry).
		The conquest of Earth is scheduled for over 1000 years in the future, but the Grand Council of Voltar becomes convinced that it must send a mission to prevent Earth from destroying itself, so as not to disrupt the future timetable of conquest.
		Heller's investigations of Earth soon reveal to him that the entire planet is in the grip of a vast organized corporate conspiracy headed by the Rockecenter corporation and its head, Delbert John Rockecenter (the similarity to "John D. Rockefeller" is one of many blatant puns and references included in the series by Hubbard).

		The NEAR mission was a spectacular rehearsal for one of the most exciting and scientifically rewarding missions of the next decade, sample return from near-Earth asteroids.
		A strategy for the mission might be to identify the, say, four most likely and scientifically interesting targets and then keep the array of possible trajectories a variable during mission development.
		The only asteroid candidates for a mission are the asteroids for which classifications are known and this limits discussion to eight of the asteroids in Table 1.

		The computer unit that malfunctioned in the final minutes of the first countdown had been replaced and the extensive attention to the condition of the whole shuttle fleet in recent months meant that Endeavour was in "tiptop shape", according to shuttle programme manager Ron Dittemore.
		The mission is largely sponsored by the US National Imagery and Mapping Agency, which supplies top-secret satellite and reconnaissance images to US defence and intelligence agencies.
		Most of the best-quality maps generated by this mission will remain classified but lower resolution maps are to be made available to the public for use by scientists, civil engineers and commercial companies.
