Funding rocket development per se isn't controversial. For years, the U.S. space program has largely depended upon Russian-built engines to power American rockets -- making development of a new American rocket, independent of Russian parts, an impor
Moscow is aiming for the first baby born in space to be Russian, a top scientist has revealed.
Elon Musk will likely have a Super Heavy Starship presentation in July, 2019. It will be after the first successful untethered hop tests for the Starhopper.
Real Engineering has a video that describes the value of SpaceX Starlink satellites.
NASA NIAC has funded the development of a next-generation SmartSuit spacesuit which will use soft-robotics technology so astronauts can be more mobile and better interact with their surroundings.
8,100 tons of space debris has accumulated in low Earth orbit consisting of spent rocket bodies, mission-related debris, and collision fragments.
In 2018 the Parker Solar Probe launched and plans to approach the Sun to within 8.5 solar radii (4 million miles) of its surface. This is seven times closer than any previous mission.
By altering the very premise upon which all prior telescopes rely, The High Étendue Multiple Object Spectrographic Telescope (THE MOST) overcomes all of these problems: aperture, collection area, field-of-view, spectrographic performance, and compac
Scientists propose building a space station INSIDE an asteroid and using its gravity to mine valuable space rocks
And now, the rover has finished analyzing the two samples. While small amounts of clay have been detected in other places, these contained the highest amounts of clay minerals found on Mars so far. Also interesting is how different this dirt is fro
NASA has given its approval to start construction of a spacecraft that will one day explore the metallic asteroid Psyche, which may represent the exposed metallic core of what was once a Mars-sized planet.
The launch window opens on Wednesday, June 12 at 7:17 a.m. PT and closes 13 minutes later, at 7:30 a.m. PT. Like most launches, a backup window will open 24 hours later, on June 13, should something go awry during the first launch window. The satelli
The Radarsat mission will deliver three Tesla Roadster-sized satellites into orbit.
If SpaceX gets a fully reusable Super Heavy Starship flying to orbit in 2020 and then has 100 fully reusable flights by 2023 then the cost of space will drop by 100 times. This will start fulfilling the plans for lunar bases, lunar mining, and space-
Seven months ago, the Defense Department made a controversial call. In a trio of contracts announced on its daily digest of contract awards, the Pentagon announced it was awarding these rocket development contracts: A $967 million deal to Un
In Christopher Nolan's epic 2014 science fiction film Interstellar, a rogue splinter group of scientists constituting the collapsed remnants of NASA hatch a plan to save Earth from environmental collapse by searching for potentially habitable plane
Many people talk about the technical problem of too much radiation for missions to Mars or long term operations in space beyond the protection of Earth's magnetic field.
Stunning moment Japan's Hayabusa2 probe swoops just 30 FEET above asteroid's surface as it drops marker on the space rock
Sending everyday people to space has been a dream since the days of the Apollo missions but space travel has long been out of reach for all but a select few humans in history.
Space flight requires quite a lot of single-use machinery, and when you're talking about multi-million dollar rockets that are used once, that gets pretty expensive and wasteful.
Blockchain venture production studio ConsenSys has bought space asteroid mining company. Planetary Resources. The acquisition was by an asset-purchase transaction.
The film is Brad Pitt's second big release of 2019 after Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."
Rocket science. A term we all use to describe something incredibly difficult. And rightfully so. I mean just look at a rocket engine! Stare at it too long and your brain might melt. Trying to grasp all of the concepts involved in rocket science can
There's a lot riding on the development of Sierra Nevada's Dream Chaser space plane, with agreements in place to deliver cargo to the International Space Station for NASA, while other parties have expressed an interest in its services, too.
Scientists have launched a bid to observe and understand mysterious flashes of light on the surface of the moon.
Elon Musk says adding two to four Raptor Engines to the Starship will let it go sub-orbital for 6000 miles at mach 20. This would mean trips like San Francisco to Shanghai or New York to Berlin. Many world cities are within 6000 miles of each other.
Almost 50 years to the day since Neil Armstrong uttered the immortal words "the Eagle has landed" Lego will launch its Creator Expert set of the Eagle Lunar Module to celebrate the anniversary.
