The spaceplane that will carry passengers to the “space business park” features its own inflatable space habitat.
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin, has been hard at work alongside Colorado-based startup Sierra Space on the Orbital Reef project.
There is growing concern over China’s Moon ambitions.
The race to the Moon between the United States and China is becoming increasingly fierce, and the next two years could determine who wins. During an interview with Politico.

NASA’s unmanned Artemis mission to the moon was a small step toward the ultimate goal of sending humans to Mars and beyond.
The second goal was to figure out how to settle and exploit the resources of the moon for research teams by the middle of the following decade.
Neil deGrasse Tyson explains in great detail how our universe came to be. And whether it has a center.
Neil deGrasse Tyson also explains what it would mean to be on the “edge” of the universe.
Brian Greene also chimes in on important concepts about the universe such as the ultimate speed limit which is the speed of light in a vacuum.
Three crew members that may be stuck on the International Space Station could have the chance to return home on a SpaceX Dragon, if the option is required, a report suggests.
Hibernation is a state adopted by certain mammals as an adaptation to adverse winter conditions. Typical features of hibernation include greatly reduced metabolic activity and lowered body temperature.
As warm-blooded animals, primates (except lemurs) do not naturally hibernate or even experience torpor. But can we manipulate the body temperature of primates and make them fall into a hypometabolic state or even artificial hibernation?
A research team led by Dr. Wang Hong and Dr. Dai Ji from the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently reported the first reliable hypothermia in nonhuman primates caused by activating a group of hypothalamic neurons.
NASA’s recent Artemis I mission has put the spotlight back on lunar exploration, so let’s take a look at the moon missions set for 2023.
With the Large Angle and Spectrometric Coronagraph (LASCO) mounted on the NASA and European Space Agency Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has been observing the Sun’s corona since 1995 to track space weather that may have an impact on Earth. However, LASCO has an observational gap that prevents scientists from seeing the middle solar corona, where the solar wind is generated.
A team of scientists from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), NASA, and the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research (MPS) has discovered web-like plasma structures in the Sun’s middle corona. The researchers describe their innovative new observation method, imaging the middle corona in ultraviolet (U.V.) wavelength.
The findings could lead to a better understanding of the solar wind’s origins and interactions with the rest of the solar system.
This is the — dark, cold — time of year when hibernating memes start flying around social media. ‘Wake me up in spring!’ being a classic example. It’s natural for humans to sleep a bit more in winter. Reduced light exposure tells the body to produce melatonin, a hormone that makes us sleepier.
Trans-light speed vessels should give off gravitational waves.
This discovery confirmed a prediction made a century before by Einstein and his Theory of General Relativity and opened the door to a whole new field of astrophysical research.
