Bring your tin foil hat! Mind control as a possibility (borderlining conspiracy)

First off.... Tin foil hats on!

Now I just want to start off my saying this: DON'T TAKE THIS AS DOGMA. Just use this possibility as a tool to think about things. After all-- The brain is the most powerful and sophisticated machine in the universe.....
This is also my 300th article so why not go out there and lose what little credibility I had by delving into borderline pseudo-science (even tough MKULTRA is real and people don't just give up on the possibility of mind control)

The exact contrary of what is generally believed is often the truth. - Jean de La Bruyere (1645-1696)

This is pretty much my plot to a short story I've called 'Evil Dead in space': Mars pioneers more than likely to go bat$h!t cray cray (or..crazy. which ever)

I'd just like to start off by saying that since its announcement I've been pretty geared up about our mission to mars. I think that its wild, innovative, ballsy, and a step towards our expansion of the stars. When the project/mission/whatever-its-called were made public I'm not going to lie I applied, and it was EXCITING. Not to mention I was going through some stuff and wouldn't have minded leaving Earth and never coming back (double bonus!) but in all seriousness...... new things have come to light
Lately the project is facing scrutiny as an article was just released detailing the more than likely (in science we call that probable) chance that these brave souls will go insane or suffer from some (if more than some) psychological illnesses. Continue reading though for more depressing info! (quite interesting I say)

Crazy paper thing

This may look dumb but despite initial reaction it is actually a profound thinking tool. It shows how perception can be a lie and how things work. For an engineer it is a little play thing, but just the other day I was playing with one and had a profound thought involving gyroscopes and their application in propulsion. Random side note- YES helpful- YES cool-YES easy to make-YUP

give it a try.
