Superconducting technology developed for the International Space Station could protect humans on the way to the asteroids or Mars. But will it be worth the cost?
Secure World Foundation (SWF) is pleased to announce that it will be accepting applications from young professionals for scholarships to aid in traveling to present papers at the 2012 International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Naples, Italy.
In his last dispatch from the recent AIAA Global Space Exploration Conference, veteran astronaut and PM contributor Tom Jones argues for NASA to undertake a mission to snare a nearby small asteroid and tow it into the orbit of the moon.
