One of the biggest problems with mainting large threads is the quantity of information. So it is easy to miss posts. The Nexus article has been on Pegasus for some time and we have permission to reprint much of their work that is of interest to us, and has been linked to several times in many threads LOL

brotherthebig has also forgotten the Pegasus section that has his work mixed with ours...

As to that patent with the "Aurora" thats missing on the website, have no fear... we have the actual patent on file and its on the Swiss patent office website where I have found some of Tesla's old patents that are not cataloged in their search engine yet...
The food and other supplies... seems Raytheon, the defense contractor, is handling materials coming into Antarctica... and they have had to improve the ice runway at Pegasus Field
to handle the really BIG transports... Pegasus Field ice runway improvements
Wouldn't want one of those big super galaxies to fall through the ice now would we?
The waste just got dumped into the ocean... since 1956... the soil and the bay are now the worst poluted area in the worldthey are now cleaning it up.
"In 1994, soil samples from around the station pinpointed six hot spots with at least 10,000 parts per million of total petroleum hydrocarbons, 100 times the maximum allowed in the United States. "
"The garbage and spilled fuel had been accumulating since the station was established in 1956, Gilmore said. Back then nobody thought about the environment. They dumped garbage on the ice in Winter Quarter's Bay or buried it in the nearby hills."
"Already the environmental department has removed 2,000 tons of fuel contaminated soil and 697 drums of fuel, ice and soil from McMurdo in the past two seasons."
"The station produces 40,000 to 60,000 gallons of sewage a day, depending on the season. The sewage is chopped into sludge, diluted with brine and water from the Crary Lab and released into McMurdo Sound."
The above quotes are picked from the Pegasus report linked above...
Here are two more observed by a visitor to the area...
"So they dragged it out farther on the ice shelf and left it, as was the usual practice in those days. As an aside, the Navy crews left a LOT of crap around in this area. Winter Quarters Bay, where the various ships dock at McMurdo (and where Scott originally moored the Discovery) is still extremely polluted. The Navy simply bulldozed their trash into this bay. They would also send out old dozers and equipment on ice floes and dynamite them, leaving the wreckage to sink to the bottom of McMurdo Sound. Hut Point Peninsula and the nearby areas of McMurdo Sound are probably the most polluted bits of land and sea in Antarctica! Nowadays, spills and contamination are closely monitored and contained. But there are still a lot of things left over from the old days that nobody really wants to deal with, and are more or less ignored." "

He make one other comment that is particularly of interest to our discussion...
"The bald guy in the front is Dave Havner, who I didn't know at the time. He is one of the ATS crew and I have gotten to know him over the winter. Since he was staying the winter, he was headed out to Christchurch for a week of R&R on this particular day. The regular McMurdo staff used to get this, but not any more. However, the ATS guys still do."
No he is NOT talking about this ATS... Its amazing how you can get your best info from innocent sources
