Here's what Google said...

The Dead Sea exists due to a unique combination of tectonic activity, forming a deep, landlocked depression in the Jordan Rift Valley, and a hot, arid climate. Around 2 million years ago, the area became isolated from the Mediterranean Sea, and high evaporation rates caused the ancient lake to shrink, concentrating minerals and salts to extreme levels.

Key Reasons for Its Existence:

Tectonic Setting: Located on the Dead Sea Transform (a fault line between the African and Arabian plates), the basin is a "sinking" landscape that creates one of the lowest points on Earth, preventing water from escaping.

Lack of Outlet: As a landlocked, terminal lake, water enters (primarily from the Jordan River) but cannot leave except through evaporation.

Extreme Evaporation: The intense desert sun evaporates water constantly, leaving behind minerals and salts, making it roughly 10 times saltier than the ocean.

Salt Source: The water dissolves salt from surrounding sedimentary layers and ancient salt deposits (such as the Sedom Lagoon deposits), accumulating over thousands of years.

The lake is technically a terminal lake, and its intense salinity prevents marine life, hence the name "Dead Sea".

Good afternoon Remi and manXman ... you and the gang are correct

Thank you Ana!

Ob, I will remember European Mystery: Scent of Desire as something I should play in the next several months. I'm happy to hear that you liked it too, Mad.

I don't think I've played The Stone Queen, although I do have it.

Thanks.

Thanks Marian!

The Artemis Program, the SLS , Air and Water Restrictions

The Artemis program was named after the greek goddess of the moon and wilderness. She is the Apollo's twin sister connecting the new lunar missions to the historic Apollo flights.

The Artemis Program started in 1917 with jots on paper. Eventually the idea would be handed to Boeing for continued designing and construction of the SLS...Northrop Grumman designed and built the solid rocket boosters and along with Lockheed Martin designed and built the Orion spacecraft’s Launch Abort System (LAS), a critical safety system that helps the crew module escape in the event of an emergency on pad or during ascent. Lockheed Martin designed and built the crew module, the Orion capsule. The European Space Agency along with Airbus Defence and Space designed and manufactured the Service Module. This module is Orion's powerhouse. It handles propulsion, supplies electricity, life support, temperature control, supplies oxygen and water for the crew and can hold cargo for the mission. Nasa led the way with the overall design of the SLS using multiple contractor contributions

Artemis II Reference Guide

For the Artemis II launch authorities have established strict no-fly and no-watercraft zones around the Kennedy Space Center(KSC) to ensure public safety. Beaches north and south of the KSC will be closed. They are usually open for launches - A United Launch Alliance Delta 2 rocket launches NASA’s twin GRAIL spacecraft on a mission to the Moon. There have been times private aircraft and/or watercraft have entered restricted areas putting a launch on hold until the invaded space has been cleared. For the Artemis II launch restricted areas have been increased. Effective Dates: From 12:00 AM on March 20, 2026, through 12:00 AM on April 26, 2026
