Curiosity Rover on Mars Spotted from Space in Awesome NASA Photo

A camera on board NASAâs Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the Curiosity rover on May 31, 2019.
American scientist and best-selling #scifi author David Brin predicts what our world would like in the year 2050. Read it on our #Earth2050 platform:
By 2040, the international community has concluded that using nonrenewable resources is irrational. The first kind of asteroid to be mined was of the carbonaceous variety, to get water that can keep astronauts alive, or be used to create rocket fuel. Later, explorers prospected dozens of other varieties of asteroids with suitable iron, nickel, cobalt, platinoid, and rare-earth element deposits. Odyssey is the first ever space base focused on mining these minerals.
The station was launched in 2049. Because of magnetic storms and drastic changes in temperature, the main part of the base had to be built several meters below the asteroidâs surface. Almost all work on the base was automated. Small teams of engineers and technicians needed for station management stay for 6-month shifts. Using solar mirrors, they melt and refine precious metal ores and blow them into gleaming bubbles that can safely descend through Earthâs atmosphere to float in the ocean, for collection. The iron is used for construction in space.

Why Is the Apollo Reflector Experiment Still Operating, 50 Years Later?
Posted by Alberto Lao in category: space
An epic lunar laser experiment is still going strong, five decades after the Apollo astronauts set it up on the surface.
The moonwalking crew of Apollo 11, which landed on the moon 50 years ago this month, put special retroreflectors on the lunar surface, as did the later crews of Apollo 14 and 15, in 1971. (Another retroreflector, built by the French, sits on the Soviet Lunokhod 2 rover that landed without a crew in 1973.)

How Bacteria Could Generate Radio waves
Posted by Richard Christophr Saragoza in categories: climatology, computing, mobile phones, space
I call them âBATSâ.
Can bacteria generate radio waves?
On the face of it, this seems an unlikely proposition. Natural sources of radio waves include lightning, stars and pulsars while artificial sources include radar, mobile phones and computers. This is a diverse list. So itâs hard to see what these things might have in common with bacteria that could be responsible for making radio waves.
