Boulder CO (SPX) May 25, 2009The bombardment of Earth nearly 4 billion years ago by asteroids as large as Kansas would not have had the firepower to extinguish potential early life on the planet and may even have given it a boost, says a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. Impact evidence from lunar samples, meteorites and the pockmarked surfaces of the inner planets paints a picture of a violent environment ... more  
Moffett Field CA (SPX) May 25, 2009Jupiter's giant moon Europa is one of the few places in our solar system where scientists believe there is a reasonable chance that life has made a home. An ice-covered world with a vast frigid ocean beneath, Europa will not be an easy place to explore. If there is life there, it's likely to be in the ocean, and although the moon's surface may hold clues to what lies below, making a compre ... more 
Washington (AFP) May 21, 2009NASA on Thursday said it was on target for a June mission to scour the Moon's surface for landing sites and water that would allow humans to work and even live on Earth's nearest neighbor. The space agency hopes to launch a dual craft in June, part of which would survey the Moon's surface from orbit while another unit ploughs into the lunar surface in search for water. "We had the or ... more

Hunstville AL (SPX) May 19, 2009Have you ever wondered how you'd make your morning cup of java if you lived on another planet, or perhaps the moon? That steaming beverage would be a must on a cold lunar morning. But with rare sunlight, no coal or wood to burn, and no flowing water for hydro-electrical power, how would you make that cup of coffee, much less cook breakfast, heat your abode, and power the life support equipment and tools ... more 
Houston TX (SPX) May 18, 2009With Memorial Day just around the corner, NASA plans a spectacular aerial display May 20 of the newly designed parachute recovery system for its Ares I rocket. The centerpieces for the test are the three massive main parachutes - measuring 150 feet in diameter and weighing 1-ton each - the largest rocket parachute ever manufactured. The Ares I, the first launch vehicle in NASA's Constellat ... more 
Sydney, Australia (SPX) May 18, 2009The USA could lose a new "race to the Moon" with China, according to a space analyst. Dr Morris Jones, an Australian writer and space analyst, claims that America is losing its strategic lead in spaceflight. He claims that a rapidly advancing Chinese space program will soon have the capability to send Chinese astronauts to the Moon. In his latest book, "The New Moon Race" ... more 
Raleigh NC (SPX) May 13, 2009Alien creatures are the least of NASA's worries when it comes to moon travel. There are several potential threats to future missions - with space radiation at the top of the list. Now, a group of students at North Carolina State University has developed a "blanket" of sorts that covers lunar outposts - the astronauts' living quarters - to provide astronauts protection against radiation whi ... more |
