We Don’t Need To Go To Mars

Posted by in category: space travel

Buckle up, this one is fun: Maciej Cegowski has begun what promises to be a multi-part essay arguing against a crewed mission to Mars. It’s called “Why Not Mars,” it’s 8,000 words long, with 66 footnotes, and it sings. I’m not even sure I agree, but I enjoy the hell out of it.

The goal of this essay is to persuade you that we shouldnt send human beings to Mars, at least not anytime soon. Landing on Mars with existing technology would be a destructive, wasteful stunt whose only legacy would be to ruin the greatest natural history experiment in the Solar System. It would no more open a new era of spaceflight than a Phoenician sailor crossing the Atlantic in 500 B.C. would have opened up the New World. And it wouldnt even be that much fun.

A few choice lines:

The space between Earth and the moon is about to get a little more crowded

Posted by in category: space travel

With multiple nations and private companies now setting their sights on missions to the moon, experts say cislunar space — the area between Earth and the moon — could become strategically important, potentially opening up competition over resources and positioning, and even sparking geopolitical conflicts.

The Dark Side of Artificial Intelligence: Dystopian Future Inevitable?

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space travel

As technology continues to advance at an exponential rate, it’s hard to ignore the nagging feeling that we may be heading toward a dystopian future. In this video, we’ll be examining the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and machine learning; how they could lead us down a dark path if left unchecked. From the displacement of human workers to the loss of privacy and control, the repercussions of our reliance on technology are far-reaching and potentially disastrous.

The Outward Urge Has NASA Looking at New Methods of Propulsion

Posted by in category: space travel

Nuclear thermal propulsion and the rotating detonation rocket are two new engine technologies NASA hopes to use to get to Mars and further.


To Mars, nuclear rockets can cut the time in half. And for in-space propulsion, NASA demonstrates a fast-speed rotating detonation rocket.

Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine: NASA’s Revolutionary Propulsion Design for Deep Space Missions

Posted by in category: space travel

NASA takes its first steps toward establishing a long-term presence on the Moon’s surface, a team of propulsion development engineers at NASA have developed and tested NASA’s first full-scale rotating detonation rocket engine, or RDRE, an advanced rocket engine design that could significantly change how future propulsion systems are built.

The RDRE differs from a traditional rocket engine by generating thrust using a supersonic combustion phenomenon known as a detonation. This design produces more power while using less fuel than today’s propulsion systems and has the potential to power both human landers and interplanetary vehicles to deep space destinations, such as the Moon and Mars.

NASA successfully tests new engine for deep space exploration

Posted by in category: space travel

NASA announced that its engineers have developed and tested the agency’s first full-scale rotating detonation rocket engine (RDRE).

The agency said that the design could significantly change how future propulsion systems are built. The supersonic rocket engine uses detonation, with the design producing more power while using less fuel than today’s propulsion systems.

It has the potential to power both human landers and interplanetary vehicles to deep space destinations, like the moon or Mars.

Why Are We Sending a Plastic-Eating Enzyme to Space? | Mashable

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, health, space travel

On Nov. 26, 2022 a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket departed from departed from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. Among the 7,700 pounds of cargo on board, it is safe to say that the smallest delivery that day were a bunch of frozen bacteria.

In an interdisciplinary collaboration, a group of scientists from MIT Media Lab, NREL, Seed Health and others, bioengineered a plastic-eating bacteria to be able to upcycle plastics. Mashable met with some of them to find out how the bacteria works, why it was it was sent to space, and how it can help humanity tackle plastic pollution in space as well as on Earth.
