Experts On Musk

Many experts say Elon Musk's Mars colonization plan, as far as it goes, is feasible.

They say, however, the plan needs many more details in the areas of technology, science, and finance.

Electric Gauze

NASA is looking at an electric gauze that helps wounds heal faster for possible use by astronauts in space.

It will also help people on Earth.

SpaceShipOne

It's been a decade and more since SpaceShipOne reached space twice in two weeks.

That was to usher in a new era of private spaceflight.  In fact, Virgin Galactic hopes to begin commercial operations next year.

Tabby's Star

Tabby's Star, which may host an advanced civilization, is also dimming overall rapidly, a new study finds.  Astronomers don't know why.

Alien megastructure or not, the star is mysterious.

Sputnik

Today marks the 59th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik.

That modest beginning led to amazing scientific and technological advances that are continuing to this day.  Future historians could easily pair this period with the Renaissance.

Life On Mars

Scientists say early Mars was not hospitable to life, but if life did arise during a wet period, it could possibly have adapted and survived deep underground.

We may have to go 6 to 10 feet below the surface to find evidence of life.

North Korea

North Korea is developing a more powerful rocket engine that will be capable of putting larger satellites into Earth orbit.

Unfortunately, it will also be able to deliver a nuclear warhead to targets in Europe and America.
