commercial space stations for research, manufacturing, and tourism. If they are successful, these companies will bring about a new era of space exploration: private rockets flying to private destinations. They’re already planning to do it around the moon. One day, Mars could follow.Read ...
Tonopah Test Range (Nevada):Also part of the broader Nevada National Security Site. Thevast area of flat terrainis ideal for rockets and low-altitude, high-speed aircraft operations. All of these locations are shrouded in secrecy, but none have the same cultural mystique as Area 51. ...
Building larger rockets:Fixed costs and economies of scale make larger rockets cheaper per kilogram, but you need to find the customer demand to make this viable We’re also already seeing companies like Rocket Lab, Relativity, and Astra focus their efforts on building larger, cheaper per unit ...
Perhaps some of the babes in arms today will live to see the time when trains, buses, cars and probably aircraft have gone to join the tram in history—leaving them with hovercraft or rockets for earth and space travel, unless they have themselves, with the whole lot, disappeared in nuclea...
In 2017, SpaceX proved it’s possible to fly a rocket into space carrying a payload, bring it back, refurbish it, and launch it again with a new payload. Reusable rockets make space travel far cheaper and faster: they are critical to SpaceX’s long-term goal of establishing an interplan...
” For many of us, telemetry conjures up recollections of NASA space travel and the myriad of instruments spread out across the Space Shuttle cockpit or the displays in mission control centers. Although we might not be launching rockets to Mars anytime soon, it’s an apt description for the...
Would NASA’s Original Astronauts Make the Cut Today? At the beginning of the U.S. space program, NASA's selection process sought men who weren't too tall, could handle pressure and isolation. Space Exploration The Soviet Response to the Moon Landing? Denial There Was a Moon Race at All...
