Scientists: We Could Build Mars Shelters Out of Insect Polymers and Martian Soil
Like Concrete
In simpler terms: the resulting material âfeels like concrete but much lighter,â Fernandez told CNN. âVery light rock.â
âWe have a route to⊠manufacturing buildings to tools from 3D printing to mold casting with just one single material,â he added.

Whatâs it like to live in space? To get some insight on playing an astronaut going to Mars, Hilary Swank visited NASAâs Johnson Space Center, and spoke with astronaut Jessica Meir, who lived aboard the International Space Station for over 200 days. Bonus: Mission Control cartwheel.
âVenus is a Russian planet,â Russian space agency director says
In a statement, Roscosmos noted that the first missions to explore Venus were carried out by the Soviet Union.
âThe enormous gap between the Soviet Union and its competitors in the investigation of Venus contributed to the fact that the United States called Venus a Soviet planet,â Roscosmos said.
The Russians claim to have extensive material that suggests that some objects on the Venusian surface have changed places or could be alive, although these are hypotheses that have yet to be confirmed.
Russia has announced an intention to independently explore Venus a day after scientists said there was a gas that could be present in the planetâs clouds due to single-cell microbes.
The head of Russiaâs space corporation Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, told reporters that they would initiate a national project as âwe believe that Venus is a Russian planet,â according to the TASS news agency.
Researchers Find Extraterrestrial Amino Acids in Antarctic Meteorite
A team of astrobiologists from NASAâs Goddard Space Flight Center and the Carnegie Institution for Science has found a wide diversity of amino acids in Asuka 12236, a carbonaceous chondrite meteorite recovered from the Nansen Ice Field in Antarctica by Belgium and Japan researchers in 2012.
NASA page lets you see what Hubble telescope captured on your birthday
The mysterious world of space has still not been deciphered by the gaze of human beings on Earth. As a matter of fact, NASA in its consistent efforts, developed the Hubble telescope in the 1990s to observe eye-catching happenings in the universe and since then for every second, itâs doing that quite persistently.
Recently, the US-based space agency announced that it can showcase which new galaxy it captured, what unusual did it notice about our stars, solar system and planets and what patterns of ionized-gases it observed, on any specific day. So users can use the new tool to check what Hubble captured on your birthday, but for any specific year.
Check out the tool here.
The Air Force has already built and flown a prototype of its first new fighter jet in two decades
Wow cool.
The Defense Department may not have finished working out all the kinks in the ultra-expensive and perpetually buggy F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, but the Air Force is plowing ahead with plans for a next-generation fighter jet.
Defense News reports that the service has secretly designed, built, and flown a prototype of a future fighter jet under its Next Generation Air Dominance program.
âWeâve already built and flown a full-scale flight demonstrator in the real world, and we broke records in doing it,â Air Force acquisition chief Will Roper told Defense News during the Air Force Associationâs Air, Space, and Cyber Conference. âWe are ready to go and build the next-generation aircraft in a way that has never happened before.â
