Space: The Final Frontier. Exploring space developments and theorizing about how humans fit into the universe.
Futuristic Out Of The World Solutions To Space
In every aspect, space is perilous, and any endeavor to colonize it will be plagued with danger and pain. Because whatever inter-dimensional intelligence constructed the universe sure wanted us, humans, to stay the hell on Earth.

The dragon is rising; will it be the new ruler of the Space?
China Space Agency released its five-year plan for space exploration on Jan 28th. There are ambition goals set for the next five years in this document, including expanding the Tiangong Space station, developing the technology required for the Mars sample return mission and shaping an international coalition to build a lunar research facility on the Moon and launching a large space telescope to the orbit.

Will Getting To Space Someday Be As Easy As An Elevator Ride?
The most incredible scientific discoveries and ideas started long before they became realities and one of the most fascinating concepts originated over a century ago. It’s amazing to think that way back in 1895 the concept of a “Space Elevator” was first conceived by Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Even then, he considered a towering image that would stretch from the ground up to an awe-inspiring altitude of 35,786 kilometers, the height of geostationary orbit. Where did he get the inspiration from? The Eiffel Tower.

Problem of "Space Junk"
But debris or satellites left on high ground, where communications and satellite climate are often placed on geostationary pathways, can continue to orbit the Earth for hundreds or thousands of years. NASA states that, due to the speed and volume of debris in LEO, current and future spacecraft, research and operations are critical to the safety of humans and property in space and on Earth. Although several mitigation techniques are being developed to extract (or extract) the remnants of space, tracking and monitoring fragments that pose a high risk of impact is still the most effective protection against orbital travel.

Future of Commercial Space Flight
TITUSVILLE, Florida - The first commercial SpaceX commercial aircraft comes after a successful launch at the Kennedy Space facility on Sunday night. Crew Dragon Capture will now go to the International Space Station with its first official astronauts: Michael Hopkins of NASA, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Shoichi Noguchi. The plane follows a recent SpaceX exploration in May when Americans Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley return to space on an American plane.

Travelling across the Universe at the Speed of Light
Light is a form of energy, an electromagnetic radiation which is the fastest traveling entity. It travels at a baffling speed of 299,792,458 m/s. This is fast enough to travel around the earth over 7 times in a single second. The fastest humans have ability to travel across space is 587,000 km/h, which is attained by the recently launched Parker Solar Probe, which is currently revolving around the sun. This is a measly 0.0005433333 times the speed of light. This is enough to travel to the moon and back in close to an hour and 20mins. Though the light from moon travels to earth in less than 2.5 seconds.

Titaness
‘She’s out there again,’ Maria said. Julien sat at the table behind her as she looked out of the large, semi-circular window that occupied one side of the room. Their apartment sat atop a towering, cylindrical block that droned quietly each day as it worked hard to mimic Earth’s gravity within. It sat near the centre of activity on Saturn’s satellite, Titan, and Maria was not able to shake the feeling of being always on display.
