Future astronauts visiting the Red Planet will need oxygen on the ship that carries them there and back. They will also need a supply to sustain them during their stay on the surface, and even more will be required to launch them back into space at the end of their stay...

“Starlab is setting the stage for life beyond the ISS and a low-Earth orbit environment where a crew with a continuous presence can thrive and accelerate innovative research and development,” said Starlab CEO Tim Kopra. “To ensure the success of our future space missions, we are starting ...
based on the theory that they would have been similar to methanogens on Earth, at least in terms of energy needs. Using this model, we could assess the habitability of conditions on Earth for our microbes compared to the underground environmental conditions on Mars, according to each...
Buzz Aldrin’s idea isn’t a new idea and it isn’t his idea. What the real pity is, is that we won’t get to Mars in his lifetime. Possibly not even in mine. Or yours.. The current administration says that “we” will focus more on research and development for better, faster ...
“NASA can utilize those resources in our exploration of the heavens, back to the moon and on to Mars. Then we can rent space on a commercial space station to do our research, to prepare our astronauts for longer flights out into the cosmos,” NASA administrator Bill Nelson said. “We’...
We haven't found any evidence for life on Mars, but at least we have identified a place that should, in principle, be able to sustain life." The findings were published on Aug. 12 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Editor’s note 8/19: There is beli...
We are on the cusp of learning far more about the projected icy situation of the moon's permanently shadowed regions, or PSRs. Multiple nations are eying the moon's south pole with research teams plotting out how and where to explore the bottoms of the sun-shy features. ...
(b) How long can we survive just by drinking water every day? Water: Water is necessary for the sustainability of practically all life on the planet. . The human system is comprised in its chemical composition of about 70% of water. Ear...
MOXIE, an instrument on NASA's Perseverance rover, has shown that we can reliably generate life-sustaining oxygen from the thin carbon dioxide atmosphere of Mars. One of the most important considerations for sending humans to Mars is whether they will have the resources...
