  • The ambitious project will tap the resources of private enterprise to build several small scout rovers that will be shipped to the south pole of the moon via a single lander. Rock and earth samples will be returned to Earth for testing, then auctioned off to secure funding for the next phase of the plan

    For those working on space debris removal... Watch out for moon-protection activists that will accuse you of distroying a historical heritage: "There are countless places on Earth that have been awarded protection to preserve their historic or cultural importance. The moon has none. But that may be about to change...."

    what is great exactly ? No human beings will put a foot on the Moon, or Mars, in the next 22 yrs and more ... what an awful waste!
  • Francesco Biscani on 01 Feb 10
     
    Well, the constellation program was a waste of money in its current form, overrun by delays and insufficient budget. We would have had Apollo 2.0 sixty years later, for what? At least now they are talking about going to asteroids, martian moons and stuff like that.
  • Joris _ on 01 Feb 10
     
    I agree that Constellation was a mistake. It is though a pity that now human Mars missions would certainly happen even later than initially hoped.

helium crisis moon mining

shared by Luís F. Simões on 22 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • So short in fact, that last year when the looming crisis, which reporters had been covering for years, became official, the price of helium-3 went from $150 per liter to $5,000 per liter.
  • The science, medical and security uses for helium-3 are so diverse that the crisis banded together a hodge-podge of universities, hospitals and government departments to try and find workable alternatives and engineer ways to recycle the gas they do have.
  • Luís F. Simões on 22 Feb 11
     
    So, which shall it be? Are we going to increase the production of hydrogen bombs, or can we finally go back to the Moon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium-3#Extraterrestrial_supplies) ?
  • dejanpetkow on 23 Feb 11
     
    None of these. Either you recycle, or you take it from natural sources on Earth. Although most people don't know - there is plenty of natural He3 on Earth. It's just nonsens to use it for energy production (in fusion reactors) since the energy belance for getting the He3 from these source on Earth is just negative. Or you try to substitute He3.

    Cyano bacteria to shield from radiation. An idea from italians flying to the Moon via Team Indus
  • Athanasia Nikolaou on 17 Mar 17
     
    Nice idea, but is it really new: resistance of cyanob. to UV radiation has been known but studies have been inconclusive as to under what resource limitations it works, but according to what we see from evolution: on Earth it works, since they survived pre-ozone atmosphere! some papers from a quick google search: 1999 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/09670269910001736392 2014 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25463663

    NASA has confirmed the presence of water on the moon's sunlit surface, a breakthrough that suggests the chemical compound that is vital to life on Earth could be distributed across more parts of the lunar surface than the ice that has previously been found in dark and cold areas.

    Another Star Trek technology :) Might have an positive psychological effect if astronauts on long term missions could virtually escape their confinement - walking through a labyrinth with the blue sky above them. Ok, ISS does not provide enough space, but on Moon or Mars...
