Bullet train to the moon and Mars? Here’s how Japan’s planning interplanetary travel
What seems like a sci-fi movie can be turned into reality if Japan’s technology is to be believed. Humans can travel across different planets on a train in the near future! Yes, you read that right. Japan has laid out plans in a bid to send humans to Mars and the Moon, according to The Weather Channel India.
Japan has made plans to build a glass habitat structure that would copy Earth’s gravity, atmosphere and topography to make us feel like home.
Researchers from Japan’s Kyoto University in collaboration with Kajima Construction are working on this plan that might shake up space travel, the Weather Channel reported. The researchers announced this last week in a press conference, the EurAsian Times reported.

SpaceX Starship explosion: Elon Musk outlines next step before orbital flight
Signs are positive after an explosion during tests this week, but SpaceX still ‘need to inspect all the engines’ of their Starship first-stage booster.

Quite the inspirational week this one with the complete set of JWST First Images. Loads of Starship and Starbase news. Last week I mentioned that it was fire time for Starbase, and…WOW… I was not wrong there. SpaceX’s Starship Booster 7 has gone for repair after explosion. Falcon 9 launches for both Starlink and finally CRS-25. We also had the very first launch of Vega C. Rocket Lab firing off another Electron, and more. So enough of this intro. Let’s crack on with it!

Nuclear fusion gets closer to reality with this new reactor
This article is an installment of The Future Explored, a weekly guide to world-changing technology. You can get stories like this one straight to your inbox every Thursday morning by subscribing here.
If nuclear fusion was a viable energy source, everything could be electrified. Electricity would be so cheap that projects that seem impossible now could be within our grasp, like commercial space flights, desalinating sea water, or direct air carbon capture.
Now, researchers from MIT say nuclear fusion — the power source of the sun itself — could become a reality by 2035, thanks to a new compact reactor called Sparc.
Stephen Hawking’s Final Research Predicts The End Of The Universe And Existence Parallel Universes
Two weeks before his death, famed scientist Stephen Hawking published a research article predicting parallel universes and along with the end of our own.
Hawking and co-author Thomas Hertog published their results in “A Smooth Exit from Eternal Inflation,” outlining how scientists may also be able to discover other universes using spaceships. According to Hertog, Hawking completed the work on his deathbed, leaving a legacy worthy of the Nobel Prize.
U.S. Government’s Office of Science and Technology Issues Call for Cislunar Strategies
White House asks the public for ideas on what to do when we return to the Moon and cislunar space.
The U.S. has plans to return to the moon by the middle of this decade through NASA’s Artemis Program. But going back to the lunar surface and cislunar space isn’t just about putting boots on the ground. That’s why the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on behalf of the Cislunar Science and Technology Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council has issued a request for ideas (RFI) with a deadline of Wednesday, July 20, 2022, for interested parties to make submissions.
The U.S. government has defined cislunar space as the entire region beyond Earth’s geostationary orbit subject to the gravity of both our planet and the Moon. The RFI covers both orbiting and lunar surface activities.
The government is seeking help in creating research priorities, technical standards and the development of a sustainable presence for human activity in cislunar space.
SpaceX Starship: Where is Musk’s mega rocket now?
Forcing them to become servants could have a bad outcome. See the latest episode of The Orville, “From Unknown Graves”. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12037520
Ron HelwigThe Orville keeps getting better. It’s already the best Trek.
Eric KlienAdmin.
Ron Helwig I find it very similar to the original Star Trek from the 60s.
Zach RichardsonThis has got to be the dumbest article I’ve ever read. I don’t even know if it’s satirical. Stupid fearmongering articles like this are exactly why what happened to you happened to you.
The message needs to be that we should be welcoming and embracin… See more.
