Morgan Stanley began coverage of Virgin Galactic's stock on Monday with an overweight rating, saying the space tourism company's shares will soar as it proves out a long-term plan of flying people around the world at hypersonic speeds.
"A viable space tourism business is what you pay for today … but a chance to disrupt the multi-trillion-dollar airline [total addressable market] is what is really likely to drive the upside," Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas wrote in a note to investors.

The Space Review: Giant leaps for humanity: Liberalism for a multiplanetary species
But this leads to a question of how best to colonize space. It’s a good thing that the Moon Treaty is dead letter, as much as it still lurks in the shadows (see “The Moon Treaty: failed international law or waiting in the shadows?” The Space Review, October 24, 2011). Property rights are a cornerstone of liberal democracy everywhere, and that will hold no less true in space.
On the other hand, settlement of the Moon and Mars will probably need to be ordered on some level. Any terraforming of Mars will need to be the effort of a body with coercive power, which would likely but not necessarily be a state. Like other public goods such as roads, I don’t think that the market for all of its potential can produce a coherent terraforming strategy.
Space travel: Going to space is a real pain in the back - The Union Journal
Astronauts have been reporting back pain because the late 1980therefore, when distance missions grew more. Their flight clinical data demonstrate that over half of US astronauts have reported back pain, particularly in their lower backs. As much as 28% suggested it had been moderate to severe pain, sometimes lasting the length of the assignment.
Matters do not improve when they come back to Earth’s gravity. At the first year following their assignment, astronauts have a 4.3 times greater chance of a herniated disk.
Front Range Biosciences to Send Hemp and Coffee Tissue Culture Samples to Space to Study Effects
The experiment, being targeted for transportation to the space station aboard the SpaceX CRS-20 cargo flight scheduled for March 2020 , will look at how plant cells undergo gene expression changes or genetic mutations while in space. Front Range Biosciences is providing the plant cultures, while SpaceCells will provide expertise, management and funding for the project.
Up to 480 plant cell cultures will reside in a space-made incubator that will regulate temperature in their temporary home aboard the ISS for about 30 days. The environmental conditions for the cultures will be monitored remotely from BioServe's payload operations center at the University of Colorado, Boulder .

"Listen, lady," said the operator. "If you can't handle being on a merry-go-round, stay off the ride."
Per NASA, the "launch period for Mars opens on July 17, 2020. It will land on Mar's Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021." I'll check periodically for progress reports.
In the meantime, I check on the Mars Curiosity Rover and the latest selfies taken while doing research.
Next, I turn my attention to the International Space Station and the astronaut broadcasts where they share experiences in space. A NASA chart shows when and how to locate the space station, the "third brightest object" in the sky near sunset or sunrise. For my location, I entered the area of John Day, Oregon, in the "Spot the Station" sign in.
NASA shows off SLS at Artemis Day
CHALMETTE, La. (WLOX) - From Mercury to Gemini to Apollo to the Space Shuttle, and now, it's Artemis. It's NASA'S next evolution of space travel, and the agency says it will take astronauts and exploring the stars to the moon and beyond.
On Monday, the space-age hardware, specifically the Space launch System (SLS) was on display at the Michoud Assembly Facility.
The core stage of the SLS, what's called the world's most powerful rocket, was the background of what NASA called Artemis Day, a chance to show the world what the agency is doing, and where it wants to go.
These Adidas Running Shoes Will Be Worn by Astronauts in Space — and You Can Get a Pair Too |
