Free Virtual Event!

Posted by in categories: business, economics, policy, space travel, sustainability

Space is no longer a remote and special place – it is becoming a part of our life and economy.

In parallel with technological advances such as space travel, lunar exploration and next-generation spacecraft, the number of businesses that utilize space has grown. Space has become an indispensable part of our lives.

The Nikkei Virtual Global Forum “The Future of Space 2022” will explore the possibilities of space, from Earth’s orbit to the Moon, Mars and beyond, and the global benefits and impacts on the economy, business and society. We will also discuss such issues as international collaboration, sustainable space utilization and policy responses.

NASA’s Revamped Eyes on the Solar System Lets You Explore Space in Your Browser

Posted by in categories: internet, space travel

NASA released an impressive desktop app some years back called “NASA’s Eyes Visualization,” which allowed you to check out the solar system, along with all the spacecraft exploring it. But who installs programs anymore? It graduated to the web recently, and now it has an updated interface and tools. Simply head to the “Eyes on the Solar System” site on your device of choice, and start exploring.

The main interface of the new site is simply the orbits of the planets, color-coded with highlights to show you their current positions. The layout is accurate for the current time, but you can use either buttons or the slider at the bottom to speed up or reverse time. It goes as high or as low as three years per second. You have to figure this revamp was supposed to coincide with NASA’s Artemis program, but that’s taking a bit longer than expected to get off the ground.

In addition to the clickable overview of the solar system, there are several suggested “points of interest” on the side of the screen. These are all along the same lines as the Eyes on the Solar System engine, but some (like the Perseverance landing simulation) load on a separate page.

Artemis I September Launch In Work SpaceX Starship Update

Posted by in categories: cosmology, space travel

NASA is trying to pull a rabbit out of the hat to launch Artemis I this month. Watch to hear about this and other launch options in work. The main driver is getting waivers from range control on the Flight Termination System (FTS). Find out why the last attempt was scrubbed. The SpaceX Starship engine test campaign is also covered in this video after discussions of the advantages and disadvantages of using hydrogen fuels.

Jeff Bezos Says Most People Won’t Be Able to Live on Earth

Posted by in categories: habitats, space travel

Jeff Bezos thinks the Earth will be like a protected national park in the future — and maybe even a hot cosmic tourist attraction.

The Amazon and Blue Origin founder spoke at the 2021 Ignatius Forum last Wednesday about the future of space travel. During the discussion, he made the eyebrow-raising comment that most people won’t even be born on Earth one day and that it might even turn into a tourist destination for space colonizers, according to RealClearPolitics.

Musk has a solution for NASA’s Artemis 1 problem

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, space travel

After NASA scrubbed it’s uncrewed Artemis 1 mission due to hydrogen leakage problem, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk shares a possible solution.

On Saturday, NASA called off Artemis 1 launch because of Hydrogen leakage. Engineers spent around 3 hours to fix the problem but ultimately failed and the launch was cancelled. The current launch window will close on Tuesday and if NASA failed to fix the problem before that then they have to wait until late September or early October for launch.

NASA said “Because of the complex orbital mechanics involved in launching to the Moon, we would have had to launch Artemis I by Tuesday, Sept. 6 as part of the current launch period”.
