Vast Space to launch world’s first commercial space station on SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in 2025

Posted by in categories: health, internet, space

The company offers features such as a large window dome with a view of space, internet access via onboard Wi-Fi, and a dedicated room for exercise and rest at Haven-1.

We have entered a brand new era of space exploration, from flying a chopper on Mars to re-directing an asteroid’s trajectory to retrieving soil samples from a distant space rock.

The future of space is dynamic, with technological prowess allowing science fiction-inspired ideas to become reality. And next-generation space outposts are one such area that has piqued the interest of space startups. Especially since the International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled to be decommissioned by the end of this decade.

Chinese rocket scientists conducted frame-by-frame analysis of Starship launch

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, space travel

China is developing the fully reusable Long March 9 rocket, which will have a similar design to Starship.

A team of rocket scientists in China reportedly provided an accurate diagnosis of the problem that caused Starship to spiral out of control before Elon Musk’s SpaceX released its own official statement on the massive Mars rocket, a report from the.

The fully-integrated Starship launch system spun out of control shortly after it first took to the skies, on April 20, in what was an otherwise successful first flight test.

As per the company, traditional rovers may not be able to traverse everywhere and perform tasks like their drone-like hopper.

For decades, Earth’s natural satellite has been one of the most popular destinations for space exploration. The upcoming Artemis missions, along with the excitement on establishing a human settlement on the Moon, have collectively boosted the lunar economy market substantially in recent years.

Several startups have been preparing to offer their technological solutions to gain a better understanding of the valuable resources available and provide services to future astronauts.

Amazon offers US shoppers $10 to pick up purchases as it targets delivery costs

Posted by in category: habitats

LOS ANGELES, May 8 (Reuters) — Amazon.com (AMZN.O) is offering U.S. customers $10 to pick up a purchase rather than have it shipped to a home address, as the e-commerce giant joins other retailers in racing to slash costs for home delivery and returns amid slack consumer demand.

Amazon said the promotion is not a cost-cutting measure and that it applies to customers who have never used Amazon Pickup or have not used that service in the last 12 months.

“We offer customers a variety of ways to get their packages, inclusive of delivery and pickup options. The $10 Amazon Pickup promotion isn’t new,” the company said in a statement. Amazon did not say for how long this or similar pickup promotions have been in use.

How Apple catches leakers

Posted by in category: futurism

Yesterday saw @analyst941 delete his Twitter account, claiming that he had been forced to do so after Apple carried out a “multi-step sting” operation. Whether this is true, or just a face-saving story for getting things wrong, it is broadly consistent with what we know about how Apple catches leakers.

Apple has so many methods of identifying leakers – some of them incredibly subtle – that we and others have to be extremely careful in order to protect our sources …

With most tech companies, secrecy is a way to stop competitors beating them to the punch. If they know or suspect other companies are working on the same idea, they want to be first to market, so don’t want anyone else to find out their plans, or how close they are to launching.

Researchers find new approach to explore earliest universe dynamics with gravitational waves

Posted by in categories: cosmology, physics

Researchers have discovered a new generic production mechanism of gravitational waves generated by a phenomenon known as oscillons, which can originate in many cosmological theories from the fragmentation into solitonic “lumps” of the inflaton field that drove the early universe’s rapid expansion, reports a new study published in Physical Review Letters on May 2.

The results have set the stage for revealing exciting novel insights about the ’s earliest moments.

The inflationary period, which occurred just after the Big Bang, is believed to have caused the universe to expand exponentially. In many cosmological theories, the rapid expansion period is followed by the formation of oscillons.

These Creatures Have Superpower That Allows Them to Survive Fire

Posted by in category: genetics

Year 2022 These animals have fire resistance which could allow humans to essentially be more fire resistant. I still believe the best gene hack would be a tardigrade essentially because they gave so many survival genes.


Echidnas are among the last mammals on Earth to lay eggs, but that’s not what makes them so miraculous.
