Watch NASA’s SpaceX CRS-25 Launch to the International Space Station

SpaceX’s CRS-25 mission is set to lift off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from launchpad 39-A at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Launch is targeted for 8:44 p.m. EDT (00:44 UTC), Friday, July 14. The Dragon spacecraft will deliver new science investigations, supplies, and equipment for the international crew, including an image spectrometer to be mounted on the exterior of the station to better understand how dust plumes affect our climate, and a study of immune aging and potential for reversing those effects. It also will carry an investigation from a team of students at Stanford University that will test the process of creating biopolymer soil composite, a concrete alternative, in microgravity. https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/research/news/spa…highlights.

Humanity getting lost in the MATRIOSHKA Brain🤖

A Matrioshka Brain is a supermassive structure in space consisting of processors and connected to each other into a massive computer around a sun harnessing its energy completely. So far we haven’t built one as we don’t have the technology for it but when we do the question will be if people will be lost in the vast computing power of the Matrishka brain.

Look: SpaceX teases orbital test flight with dramatic Starship images

Long time coming.

Elon Musk previously suggested the Starship prototype SN24 would be ready to embark on an orbital test flight sometime in July.

SpaceX Building 480-Foot-Tall Rocket Catching Robot

SpaceX is making a 480-foot-tall giant robot with arms that will catch giant rockets.

It is insanely cool. Sci-fi made real.

But moon landings were already insanely cool.

The difference is with this working we have almost a thousand launches per month from the same launch pad versus at most one today.

Sleeper Ships

Get Started with Squarespace today: http://squarespace.com/isaacarthur.
To journey across the stars requires voyages of centuries or more, ensuring the crew will be long dead by the time they arrive. If you want your crew available to colonize new worlds after their interstellar voyage, you either have to extend their lives, train their descendants, or freeze them till they arrive. We will examine the third option day, freezing people with cryonics, using hibernation, or suspended animation, or some other form of stasis the future might offer.

Japanese Team Invents Moon Base With Artificial Gravity

Getting to the Moon isn’t impossible anymore, but humans have yet to establish a long-term living space on its surface. If we want to become an interplanetary species, however, Japanese researchers say we’ll probably need their newly designed Moon base with artificial gravity.

A team of Kyoto University experts and Kajima Corporation’s construction wizzes unveiled mockups of the conical, rotating structure at a conference last week, showcasing what looks like a glass utopia full of happy people, some of them even driving boats around the water-covered interior of the building.

“Recognizing that ‘1G is the identity of humankind,’ we propose an artificial gravity network,” the team wrote in a Google-translated press statement. “The day when human beings live in outer space, the moon, and Mars is imminent.”

Beam Powered Spaceships

Sign up with Skillshare for 2 months of Free classes: https://skl.sh/isaacarthur11
In order to get into space, we require either huge amounts of rocket fuel or dangerously powerful energy sources, making personal spacecraft a technology limited to science fiction. But by harnessing beamed power sources to run engines, we may be able to create a spaceplane cheap enough and safe enough that anyone could have one in the future.
