The Moon is drifting away from Earth and it’s having a major impact on time

Posted by in category: space

Scientists have discovered that days on Earth are getting longer as the moon is slowly drifting away. It has always been assumed that the Earth’s only natural satellite remained at a constant distance from the Earth due to gravitational pull. However, according to NASA, Scientists no longer believe this is the case.

After Watching “The Undeclared War” I’m Not Surprised About Calls For A Cyber Force Military Branch

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, military, space

After Watching “The Undeclared War” and reading about the documents leaked from the Pentagon this week I’m not surprised to hear about the creation of a Cyber Force military branch.


The U.S. is considering a 7th branch of its armed services to combat cyberthreats on Earth and in space.

Boyd Bushman On Antigravity

Posted by in categories: singularity, space

Former Lockheed Martin Skunkworks Senior Scientist comes out about Antigravity Propulsion Devices and how they tie into what is known as “Singularity” which allow you to move anywhere within the universe instantaneously.

Humans have this technology, and have had for more than 50 years.

Nine-Year-Old Child Genius Stuns NASA Scientists While Visiting The Space Telescope Science Institute

Posted by in categories: science, space

Child protégée, David Balogun, continues to shock the world with his incredible genius.

The nine-year-old is one of the youngest high school graduates, receiving his diploma from Reach Cyber Charter School in Harrisburg, PA. After graduation, Balogun was invited by NASA and the Maryland-based Space Telescope Science Institute to visit the James Webb Space Telescope Mission Operations Center in Baltimore. His story made headlines and Hannah Braun, the institute’s spokesperson, said the team just had to meet him.

“I had actually seen David’s story all over social media and thought, ‘Wow, I’d bet he’d find a trip to Webb’s Mission Operations Center exciting!’” Braun said to Atlanta Black Star.

China’s space agency reportedly tested a Stirling converter in orbit

Posted by in categories: solar power, space, sustainability

Stirling converters could allow deep space missions to massively reduce their reliance on potentially scarce solar energy.

China’s Shenzhou-15 mission crew aboard the China Space Station (CSS) has reportedly completed testing on a free-piston Stirling thermoelectric converter, according to a report from state-owned media in China.

New measurements suggests we are fundamentally wrong about the universe

Posted by in category: space

Puzzle over ‘Hubble constant’ could suggest many of our basic assumptions are wrong We may be fundamentally wrong about some of the deepest parts of the universe, according to a new study. For years, scientists have been puzzled over the “Hubble tension”. That refers to the difficulty over measuring how quickly the universe is expanding: different measurements show different speeds, and scientists have been unable to say why.

Chinese Scientists Discover How To Create Oxygen, Water And Fuel On The Moon

Posted by in categories: energy, space

In the not too distant future, trips to the мoon will Ƅe мanned and of long duration. In order for astronauts to surʋiʋe there for the duration of their мission, they мust first find a way to create oxygen, water, and fuel with the resources that exist there, since transport froм Earth is coмpletely unfeasiƄle.

Now, a teaм of Chinese astronoмers froм Nanjing Uniʋersity has just discoʋered how to achieʋe this and thus facilitate huмan exploration to create a perмanent Ƅase.

Light waves squeezed through ‘slits in time’

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics, space

A celebrated experiment in 1,801 showed that light passing through two thin slits interferes with itself, forming a characteristic striped pattern on the wall behind. Now, physicists have shown that a similar effect can arise with two slits in time rather than space: a single mirror that rapidly turns on and off causes interference in a laser pulse, making it change colour.

The result is reported on 3 April in Nature Phys ics1. It adds a new twist to the classic double-slit experiment performed by physicist Thomas Young, which demonstrated the wavelike aspect of light, but also — in its many later reincarnations — that quantum objects ranging from photons to molecules have a dual nature of both particle and wave.

The rapid switching of the mirror — possibly taking just 1 femtosecond (one-quadrillionth of a second) — shows that certain materials can change their optical properties much faster than previously thought possible, says Andrea Alù, a physicist at the City University of New York. This could open new paths for building devices that handle information using light rather than electronic impulses.

Startup builds “inflatable” concrete houses in just hours

Posted by in categories: habitats, space

Looking ahead: Automatic Construction is in the process of building a concrete house for one customer in New York and has contracts signed with two others, according to Bell. It’s also inked a deal with a “large commercial contractor” for a structure.

It’s not clear how large those will be, but the prototypes the company has built so far are better described as tiny houses than starter homes — they might be large enough for one person, but they aren’t likely to accommodate a family.

NASA Names Astronauts For First Crewed Moon Mission In Over 50 Years

Posted by in category: space

NASA’s plan to land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon during the first crewed lunar flyby of the 21st century took one giant leap this week with the unveiling of four astronauts for the Artemis II mission.

In a news conference Monday at Ellington Field near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston the space agency announced the first black man, the first woman and the first Canadian on any crewed Moon mission—the agency’s first since Apollo 17 in 1972.


The Apollo 8-style Artemis 2 mission will see NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glove and Christina Hammock Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, embark on a 10-day trip around the Moon.
