If getting to Mars isn't hard enough, scientists at the UC Irvine say that cosmic radiation could cause astronauts on deep space missions to develop symptoms of dementia. Rodent tests indicate that exposure to high-energy particles produce cases of "
NASA's 2019 budget request formalizes the agency's handover of human-spaceflight activities in low-Earth orbit to private industry, in favor of a shift toward the moon.
In a tweet, Elon Musk indicated that a fully expendable Falcon Heavy, which far exceeds the performance of a Delta IV Heavy, costs $150 million, compared to over $400M for Delta IV Heavy.
On February 6th, 2018, at 2045 UTC, the first Falcon Heavy was launched in to space. It contained a very special payload, a Tesla Roadster with Starman.
Hmm … a planetary insurance policy to save and share humanity's knowledge with future generations is orbiting the sun aboard Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster?
ULA had a vision for $2.7 trillion space industry by 2045 which would be an expansion by eight times from the $330 billion industry today. The accelerated pace of SpaceX launch vehicles will accelerate space mining, high-speed internet satellites and
On Tuesday afternoon, a rocket the size of a 20-story building, containing 27 engines and a cherry-red Tesla Roadster as its payload, is slated to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It will be the maiden flight of Space X's Fa

Wikipedia has a comparison of orbital launch systems. A heavy-lift launch vehicle, HLV or HLLV, is an orbital launch vehicle capable of lifting between 20,000 to 50,000 kg to low Earth orbit (LEO).
SpaceX now has a live feed of its Mars-bound simulated astronaut, a dummy wearing the private space company's new crew uniform. There are cameras mounted on the Tesla Roadster the dummy is "driving," which was the primary payload for SpaceX's
Space based solar power expert John Mankins, the author of the book The Case for Space Solar Power, estimates that if the launch price came down to about $400 per kilogram then space-based solar power would be cost-competitive with terrestrial solar
NASA's first of a new generation of manned deep space exploration craft has begun to take shape at the space agency's Michoud Assembly Facility near New Orleans.
(Natural News) Researchers at the Pennsylvania State University recently reported that they were able to harness microbes and convert them into potential food sources, which in turn may help space travels a lot less grueling for astronauts.
Curiosity has had quite a journey since it touched down on Mars in August 2012, and now the little rover that could has taken a moment to look back. Literally.
After nearly seven years of varying concepts, redesigns, and delays, SpaceX is poised to launch the Falcon Heavy rocket next week on its maiden flight. Last week, SpaceX performed a hold-down firing of the massive rocket's 27 engines, creating a to
