Space: The Final Frontier. Exploring space developments and theorizing about how humans fit into the universe.
Project Sol
I shuddered awake. Not from a dream, though I wish it were one. The air was chill against my skin even under all these quilts. It was like icicles forming in my lungs. Little shards speckling my dark curled eyelashes. Through the window only meager sunlight filtered in; weak as if straining to warm the earth. The twinkle of a once radiant smile, now blurred by frost. The glass...its like a slowly shattering prism. The crackle of my fireplace alerted me to the dwindling of the last embers of life sustaining flames.

Two of Hearts
It’s felt like generations, but I knew it had only been four years since comms were cut. Four years of chaos, confusion, and the downfall of our entire small world. I sighed as I gazed at my surroundings, the place I’d come to call home, or something of the sort. Exposed wires and pipes, their purposes long lost to me, snaked across the concrete walls, all eventually leading back to the bulkhead that served as my home’s entrance.

Contact
The orbital bombardment only took a single rotation. I watched as the surface of the planet below transitioned from a landscape of greens, browns, and blues, to a gray-brown smudge of destruction with patches of orange smeared intermittently where flames roared. Our fleet’s heavy artillery smashed their ground defenses in minutes. After that, the operation was practically a joke. I couldn’t help but feel pride in the pit of my stomach. Or perhaps that was the motion sickness.

ORIGINS:
The world of Earth had been a forgotten tale for millennia amidst the Federation of Stars when the small crew of three crash landed on its now mostly rocky surface. In good graces, not one was hurt and the small ship was stable enough to be utilized as housing pending the rescue. The mayday signal had deployed on impact. Survival was the business at hand.

Dangerous Betelgeuse: 1.5 billion times bigger than the sun, may explode at any time? The scientist gives the time
Orion may be the first constellation that many friends know, because its position in the winter night sky is much more obvious than that of the Big Dipper, and you can see its existence when you look up!

What psychological training is needed to become an astronaut?
What qualities do astronauts need? Manned space flight requires astronauts to have good psychological qualities.

Where does Jupiter's attraction come from?
Although humans have obtained partial data on Jupiter and the moons and ring systems that surround it, many unanswered questions remain. For example, in 2018 U.S. scientists claimed to have discovered 12 moons of Jupiter, bringing the total number of Jupiter's moons to 79, eclipsing the other planets in our solar system. Where does Jupiter's enormous attraction to moons come from?

Space Graveyard on Earth
The news reported the successful launch of a human spacecraft, and all of humanity shared the joy. Rocket liftoff and booster stripping go hand in hand, but most people focus on the ascent and ignore the fall. Where do these boosters fall after they have burned up their fuel?

Three life lessons I learned from Command Module Pilot Michael Collins
As the Columbia Command Module pilot, he kept watching over Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin while they explored the lunar surface that day, the day we all know fondly as “the first man to walk on the moon.”

The most extreme objects in space-Neutron Stars.
Neutron stars are one of the most extreme and violent objects in the universe. Giant atomic nuclei, only a few kilometers in diameter, but as massive as stars. And they owe their existence to the death of something majestic.
