Musk Sees ‘Fighting Chance’ for Starship Mission to Mars in 2024
Posted by Alberto Lao in categories: Elon Musk, space travel
SpaceX founder Elon Musk is “80%-90% confident” that the company’s massive new Starship rocket will reach orbit next year and said there’s a chance it will be ready for an uncrewed cargo mission to Mars in 2024.
The initial test flights will be difficult and carry a high risk of failure, Musk said Friday at a virtual session of the Mars Society’s 2020 conference. “We’ll probably lose a few ships before we get the atmospheric return and landing right,” he said.

World’s First Human Head Transplant Will Take Place This Year
Posted by Raphael Ramos in category: biotech/medical
Last year, Dr. Sergio Canavero created quite the ruckus (to put it mildly) when he vowed to be the primary person to transplant a person’s head onto a deceased donor’s body. Yes, he’s planning on attempting the world’s first caput transplant (or body transplant, betting on how you study it).
In fact, it’s been a few years since his initial proclamation, and therefore the Italian neurosurgeon still stands firm on his declaration, despite claims from other experts that it’s nothing but a PR Stunt (at best) or a hoax. Some have even hypothesized it’s all just a plot meant to push Metal Gear Solid.

Scientists Measure The Shortest Length of Time Ever: Zeptoseconds
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in category: particle physics
Scientists have measured the shortest unit of time ever: the time it takes a light particle to cross a hydrogen molecule.
That time, for the record, is 247 zeptoseconds. A zeptosecond is a trillionth of a billionth of a second, or a decimal point followed by 20 zeroes and a 1.
Previously, researchers had dipped into the realm of zeptoseconds; in 2016, researchers reporting in the journal Nature Physics used lasers to measure time in increments down to 850 zeptoseconds.
