The article discusses NASA's plans to build a colony on the moon. In particular the author mentions concerns surrounding regolith, the natural minerals and rocks that make up most of the moon's surface. The author looks at how, despite th...
New research led by Brown University suggests that pre-existing mineralogy on the Moon can survive large impacts and impact melts. Large impacts on the Moon can form wide craters and turn surface rock liquid. Geophysicists once assumed that liquid rock would be homogenous when it cooled. Now res...
When humans will return to the Moon depends on policy decisions from the world’s various state and private space organisations. But even if a decision is made to travel to asteroids or Mars orbit before the Moon, its close proximity to the Earth makes it likely that the Moon will, at so...

Genetically editing humans for space travel would likely be a part of natural changes to the human physiology that could occur after living on Mars for a number of years, Mason said. "It's not if we evolve; it's when we evolve," he added. While changes to the human body are to be...
The postal service and the internet have also given us extraordinary options for meeting and becoming acquainted with other humans. Image by Yassine Noamani from Pixabay How do we make sense of — and peace with — all of the beings who come and go in our lives? Deep breath in. Deep bre...
