Should NIAC be Revived? | NASA Watch - 0 views

  • $4 million annual budge

      To my knowledge (readers correct me if I'm wrong) no where else within NASA do people get paid to just think very long range ideas. My question: does such a group belong in NASA and should it or something like it be revived? And if you think so, what should its highest priority be? Propulsion? Artificial gravity systems? Space Elevator?

Report: Planets will collide in 5 billion years - 0 views

  • Mercury, Mars, Venus and Earth to smash into each other, either one at a time or all at once
  • by the end of that same 5 billion years the sun will have burned up its hydrogen and in a cooler state will inflate itself
  • the great "gas giants" of the outer solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - are extremely stable in their orbits, so they could remain where they are for a much longer time
  •  
    Interesting, but obviously something is wrong. How the big giants can remain still if the inner planets and the sun vanish at the same time !

Microalgae As A Source Of Alternative Energy - 0 views

  •  
    That's very interesting. The algae can be used as an absorber of CO2. The problem is that in order to be efficient it has to cover a wide surface and needs water. Would it be possible to grow algaes in the clouds...? Do you know some plants that are capable of floating in the air ?
  •  
    Yes. There are some epiphytic plants who do not have roots and remove CO2 and H2O from air. Oisin is doing some calculations on it.
