The Associated Press: Daunting space task _ send astronauts to asteroid - 1 views

  • NASA leaders say civilization may depend on it
  • NASA is thinking about jetpacks, tethers, bungees, nets and spiderwebs to allow explorers to float just above the surface of it while attached to a smaller mini-spaceship.
  • At the moment, there are only a handful of asteroid options and they all have names like 1999AO10 or 2009OS5.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • NASA is pursuing its concept for a mini-spaceship exploration vehicle, about the size of a minivan. And it's planning an underwater lab for training, an effort to mimic an asteroid mission's challenges
  • "There's a lot of things we need to invent and build between now and then."

A Fusion Thruster for Space Travel - IEEE Spectrum - 4 views

  • Now a NASA engineer has come up with a new way to fling satellites through space on mere grams of fuel, tens of times as efficiently as today’s best space probe thrusters.
  • Instead of using deuterium and tritium as the fuel stocks, the new motor extracts energy from boron fuel.
  •  
    "And according to his calculations, improvements in short-pulse laser systems could make this form of thruster more than 40 times as efficient as even the best of today's ionic propulsion systems that push spacecraft around. "

Let's Reconstitute Humans From Genomes Launched Into Space! and Other Ambitious Proposa... - 0 views

  • Fragmented human genomes could be shipped toward the stars and reconstructed upon their arrival,
  • to spur the monumental technology advances that would be required for such a feat. So the 100-Year Starship is more like a thought experiment than a construction project.
  • “The crux, to us, is inspiration of research — not just in solving the physics-based problems. It’s across all of the domains
  •  
    disruptive!
