An emerging possibility is including “Artificial Astronauts” as actual crew members on human missions to Mars, and elsewhere in space. These ruggedized space-rated artificial humans offer great advantages. Among them is that they would not require the large amounts of consumables needed to support humans. They could also perform spacewalks without a life-support system.   […]

China has unveiled their first comprehensive plan for a near-Earth asteroid defense system. The proposed strategic concept for asteroid defense development was rolled out during the Third International Deep Space Exploration Conference held last week in Hefei, the provincial capital of Anhui in east China. Chinese scientists are calling for global partners to work together […]

A new protest focused on budget cuts is slated to be held outside NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. “We are a peaceful protest group, and we stand in solidarity with other scientific advocacy groups,” explains the NASA Needs Help website. “We’re fighting for science, engineering, and exploration. Tell Congress to push back on the 2025 […]

  There is continued concern regarding disclosure of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs). So much so that next week the U.S. Congress will hold a hearing titled: “Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection.” To be explored on September 9 is reported information that’s being held by federal agencies on UAP and how best […]

That third confirmed interstellar interloper — 31/ATLAS – is getting serious attention as a possible “technosignature” – perhaps a celestial calling card sent our way by extraterrestrials. These interstellar objects (ISO’s) deserve our attention suggests James R. A. Davenport, Director of the  Institute for Data Intensive Research in Astrophysics & Cosmology (DiRAC) at the University […]

China’s Chang’e-7 robotic Moon mission is scheduled for the second half of 2026 and will carry a Russian instrument to monitor the pervasive nature of lunar dust. A memorandum was signed by the Roscosmos State Corporation and the China National Space Administration following the recent meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin with Chinese President Xi […]

  Using scrap materials from rockets to create furniture, from a space tank bench and a space parasol table to hi-fi speakers made out of discarded booster fuel tanks. That’s the “upcycling” output by the &SPACE PROJECT, a Japanese undertaking that aims to make the space industry accessible to everyone. The &SPACE PROJECT has been collaborating […]

On the Moon, several moonwalkers stumbled and fell onto the lunar surface. One technological out to this issue could be a pair of wearable robotic arms that extend out from a backpack. The arms could also crab-walk around a spacecraft’s exterior as an astronaut inspects or makes repairs.   Yes, this sounds a bit like […]
