Spacecraft missions that we are sending to Mars provide great insight in the conditions that reign on this planet, and the way it was created. Recently, a rock that was identified on the planet points out that the landscape on Mars was significantly affected by volcanoes. Series of violent eruptions resulted in ashy material, one […]

Our Efforts to Find Alien Life Have Gone Nowhere. This New Strategy Could Change That.
The human race has failed in its quest to find alien life, however, a new study has revealed that new technology could help us. This new technology could help direct our attention to where alien life exists outside of Earth. The technology is called S.E.T.I. and it could be the key to helping us find […]
Saturn’s weird moon Titan looks a bit like Earth, and scientists might finally know why
Titan is a moon on Saturn that looks a little bit like Earth and scientists have finally gotten a hypothesis as to why. When it comes to Titan, instead of having a majority of water like Earth, they are made of liquid methane. The theory that the scientists came up with is that sintering, wind […]
Nanobots in Orbit: The Future of Satellite Repair and Maintenance
Introduction to Nanobots in Space Definition and Overview of Nanobots Nanobots, or nanorobots, are microscopic machines typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size. These tiny devices are designed to perform specific tasks at the molecular or atomic level, leveraging the principles of nanotechnology. Nanobots can be constructed from various materials, including metals, […]
The Mechanics of Launching: A Deep Dive into Space Elevator Technology
Introduction to Space Elevator Technology Definition and Concept A space elevator, also known as a space bridge, star ladder, or orbital lift, is a proposed type of planet-to-space transportation system. The primary component of a space elevator is a cable, or tether, anchored to the Earth’s surface near the equator and extending into space. […]
Energy of the Void: Uncovering the Mystery of Dark Energy
Introduction to Dark Energy What is Dark Energy? Dark energy is a mysterious and pervasive form of energy that is believed to constitute approximately 68% of the total energy content of the universe. Unlike ordinary matter and dark matter, dark energy does not clump together in galaxies or clusters but is uniformly distributed throughout […]
Space flight changes first-timer’s brains, but not veterans
There has been a bunch of research done Juan Piantino who works at the OHSU School of Medicine about how a space flight can change someone’s brain. The research of this study dealt with looking at images of 15 different astronauts brains before and after they went on a tour of the International Space Station. […]
Antimatter and Fusion: The Propulsion Duo Powering Tomorrow’s Spacecraft
Introduction to Antimatter and Fusion Propulsion The Need for Advanced Space Propulsion As humanity sets its sights on exploring the far reaches of our solar system and beyond, the limitations of current propulsion technologies become increasingly apparent. Traditional chemical rockets, while reliable, are inefficient for long-duration missions due to their low specific impulse and […]
Exploring Planets Virtually: How VR is Expanding Our Knowledge of Other Worlds
Introduction to Virtual Reality in Space Exploration The Evolution of VR Technology Virtual Reality (VR) has come a long way since its inception. The concept of VR dates back to the mid-20th century, with early attempts like the Sensorama, a machine that provided a multi-sensory experience. However, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the […]
Archive: “Breaking the Law of Gravity” – By Charles Platt – Wired
Breaking the Law of Gravity CHARLES PLATT 03.01.1998 12:00 PM Skeptics had a field day when a scientist claimed in 1996 that gravity could be negated. Now his findings are being investigated in laboratories worldwide. In 1996, Russian émigré scientist Eugene Podkletnov was about to publish a peer-reviewed article in the respected British Journal of […]
