Another Reason Martian Settlers May Choose Solar Over Nuclear Power

Even though having a mini-nuclear reactor nearby is not a bad idea, settlers upon Mars may prefer an option that relies less upon the splitting of the atom and more upon the rays of the Sun. Scientists in Spain have figured out a way for solar power stations to generate energy after sun set when rays from the Sol star are no where to be found. Gemasolar,...

Apparently silver isn’t the only thing Earth’s nearest neighbor harbors upon the surface. Astronomers have discovered another element which could aid lunar settlers in their quest to conquer the Moon. A new map of the Moon has revealed an abundance of titanium ore that is up to 10 times richer than on Earth, a finding that could one day lead to a...

Could Urine Power Off World Colonies?

Oct 5, 2011

Since water is plentiful throughout the solar system (well at least upon Luna as well as Mars), future settlers may see little value in recycling their “waste water,” when it would be much more desirable to purify the frozen aqua around them. Instead of burying the dreaded stuff or burning it off into the void, future colonists could instead use it...

Despite being one of the three terrestrial spheres blessed with a global magnetic field (with the other two being Earth and Jupiter’s moon Ganymede), Mercury’s invisible shield will not protect future explorers from the wrath of the Sun. Earth and Mercury are the only two magnetized planets in the solar system, and as such, they can somewhat deflect...

Despite being inactive in the whole “deep space exploration” hobby (at least with humans), Russia is determined to once again reclaim their place among the stars by planning a trip towards the Martian moon of Phobos. Although the purpose of the expedition is to collect soil samples from Phobos (not an easy task as the Japanese can tell you), Russia...

Right after the heels of making one gutsy call, the President is now asking Congress to partner with their beloved frenemy to help conquer the red planet. “[What] the president has deemed worth discussing with the Chinese and others is that when the time comes for humans to visit Mars, it’s going to be an extremely expensive proposition and the...

SpaceX To Skeptics: We Can Beat China

May 4, 2011

SpaceX has sent out a press release aimed at silencing the chatter that the young rocket company prices are “too good to be true” (since not even China can match SpaceX’s prices). However in the process of defending the reputation of his rocket company, CEO Elon Musk does reveal a few interesting tidbits about SpaceX that may have rivals...
