We see them everywhere. People rocking NASA shirts like they’re some sort of rocket scientist. Like the energy drink in their right-hand and the genetically engineered food in their left somehow makes them smarter if they wear a NASA shirt. NASA has become popular as a clothing brand, why is that? Let’s take a minute to ask why and to question the origin of this “Space” organization that turns out to be quite, well, spacey.

NASA was founded July 29th, 1958. Since then billions of dollars have poured in funded by the US Federal Government. In fact, this year alone NASA had a budget of $19.9 billion dollars. What else happened on July 29th?

In 1921 Adolf Hitler became the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party, on you guessed it, July 29th. NASA was founded on the same day 37 years later, that Hitler came into power on. Strange coincidence? This was the first tripwire that made me dig deeper. If you’re read up at all you’ll know that Hitler had quite the team of scientists and engineers who were creating rockets and biological warfare weapons.

Wait until you hear the full story.

1 of 365 days is 1/5th of 1% in terms of probabilities. That’s unlikely to happen. It’s like beating Russian Roulette over and over again. That just doesn’t happen. Strangely enough, Neo’s passport in the film the matrix has a one date (same probabilities as above) that we all know too.

About 20 billion dollars goes into space programs each year. That’s a lot of money. To put into perspective how much money this is, take world hunger.

$30 billion dollars a year would end world hunger, according to the United Nations. That means the size of NASA’s budget each year could feed 2 out of 3 hungry people worldwide. If NASA didn’t exist and that money was rerouted, we could almost end world hunger. To date over $600 billion has been spent on space exploration, yet we haven’t made it “back to the moon” since 1969.

Let’s look at what NASA is doing, the history of its early beginnings and what your tax dollars do.

According to History.com: NASA has sponsored space expeditions, both human and mechanical, that have yielded vital information about the solar system and universe. It has also launched numerous earth-orbiting satellites that have been instrumental in everything from weather forecasting to navigation to communications.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t Google Maps and T-mobile have weather and communications locked down?

Someone please tell me.. what information has NASA given us to improve our quality of life?

Government Funded: Operation PaperclipOperation paperclip was an operation run by the US Government. The JIOA (joint intelligence objectives agency) carried this out by special agents of the army. This operation brought in 1,600 Nazi scientists, engineers and technicians from Germany. Wernher von Braun and his V-2 rocket team were recruited from Germany to America for employment within the US Government. Most of which were members or leaders from the Nazi party.

A factory at which Von Braun worked was reported to kill the 5 slowest working Jews each week. International organizations alike agree that if he were alive today he would be convicted of war crimes.

Pyramids found by archaeologists on the Kola peninsula prove the existence of an ancient civilization in Russia, yet another global pyramid connection as we have seen before on ApparentlyApparel.com.

Currently, archaeological excavations near the pyramids, which, according to preliminary estimates, are at least two times older than the Egyptian ones, have been resumed on the Kola Peninsula.

Because the last ice age removed the top sediment layer of the soil, the Kola Peninsula is on the surface extremely rich in various ores and minerals, including apatites and nephelines; copper, nickel, and iron ores; mica; kyanites; ceramic materials, as well as rare-earth elements and non-ferrous ores. Deposits of construction materials such as granite, quartzite, and limestone are also abundant. Diatomaceous earth deposits are common near lakes and are used to produce insulation.

Scientists who have previously made an expedition to these northern parts of Russia believe that the Kola peninsula may be the ancestral home of the most ancient civilization on Earth. A weighty argument for this hypothesis is the pyramids discovered by scientists and huge stone slabs created 9000-40000 years ago.

Interestingly, all the pyramids are positioned clearly in the direction of East-West. It also turned out that the pyramids were rebuilt three times by ancient people, each time increasing them in height.

The question remains open – who could have built these structures and were they built in connection with the abundant natural resources in the area?

​If you haven't heard of Demna Gvasalia, you will. He's breaking fashion norms with cutting edge design and neon colors.

​Are you interested in fashion? Does the name Demna Gvasalia ring a bell? If you have never heard that name before, the chances are good that you will soon.

The 38-year-old Georgian fashion designer is one of the up and coming people in the fashion industry. With a background in design at Louis Vuitton and Maison Martin Margiela, Gvasalia has the pedigree to stand out from his contemporaries. But what makes Demna Gvasalia such an important figure in the industry?
​
Read on to learn more about this designer who is taking the fashion world by storm!

Gvasalia has a decorated background in the fashion industry that makes him prime to be a leader in the industry.

He was fascinated by fashion from a young age while growing up in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic in the Soviet Union during the 1980s and 1990s.

As a young adult, Gvasalia's passion for fashion brought him to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts located in Antwerp, Belgium. While he studied at the art academy, he developed a knack for creating unique designs that were well-received by his peers.
​
Shortly after he completed his studies, he was brought on as the design leader for Masion Martin Margiela and later, Louis Vuitton.

Gvasalia has performed so well early in his career that he has landed other top positions at some of the leading fashion brands worldwide.

In October 2015, he was named as the creative director of Balenciaga, a Spanish luxury brand. Gvasalia got to work on creating his first collection for the brand, which was revealed to the world at the 2016 Paris Fashion Week.

In addition to his position at Balenciaga, Gvasalia is also the head designer at VETEMENTS. Gvasalia founded the brand in 2014 and is joined by a group of designer friends as they design unique clothing and shoes that have a wide appeal across different cultures.
​
Although the brand was headquartered in Paris, Gvasalia announced that it would be moving to Zurich, Switzerland in 2017.

Demna Gvasalia is a name that's become synonymous with fashion in only a short period of time.

Despite Gvasalia's success, he's a designer who is not content on resting on his past achievements. It is perhaps that passion to push the envelope in the industry that helps him continue to design new fashions and create mass appeal.

One way that Gvasalia is unique when compared to his peers is his use of luxury materials on otherwise mundane objects.

For example, he is known for using neon colors on hourglass skirts and experimenting with the way the slits are placed on the garment.
