CD, DVD Technology Could Make Interstellar Space Travel Possible, Scientists Reveal
A team of scientists released a new study that explored the possibility of achieving interstellar travel using laser and light sail spacecraft. According to the study, this can be made possible using the same technology found on CDs and DVDs.
Currently, interstellar travel for humans is not yet achievable due to the long duration of the voyage that could take thousands of years. In order to travel vast distances across space, a spacecraft needs a lot of fuel. Unfortunately, the mass of propellants can make a spacecraft heavier, which would cause it to consume more fuel.
Intersteller Lab's New Project in the Mojave Desert Will Make Tourists Feel Like They're
Travelers who are dreaming of one day getting to take part in space travel may not have to wait much longer. And the best part is they may not even have to leave this planet to do it.
In late 2019, Interstellar Lab, a Paris-based research studio, announced its plans to build the first space-inspired village. And it will do so right here on earth. More specifically, they plan to build it in the Mojave Desert in California.
The interstellar-inspired village will be made up of a network of self-sustaining biomes. Those biomes will each have a job including recycling water, growing food, and producing energy to sustain up to 100 people at a time.
Beam Rider: New 'Self-Centering' Laser Sail Could Enable Interstellar Travel | Space
Spacecraft could fly to distant stars using sails with surfaces similar to those of CDs and DVDs to help them stay centered on laser beams, a new study finds.
The problem with all thrusters that current spacecraft use for propulsion is that the propellant they carry with them has mass. Long trips require a lot of propellant, which makes spacecraft heavy, which, in turn, requires more propellant, making them heavier, and so on. That problem gets exponentially worse the bigger a spacecraft gets.

NASA astronaut treated for blood clot at International Space Station
Physician and space travel devotee Stephan Moll's first wish when NASA reached out for a consultation was to examine the patient in person – at the International Space Station.
Given the impracticality of that desire, the coagulation expert and University of North Carolina professor settled for an approach that combined old-fashioned medicine with cutting-edge means.
Moll hopes the resolution of the astronaut's blood clot in the internal jugular vein not only leads to further research on travel in zero-gravity but also inspires wider use of telemedicine.
How Kent space company Blue Origin is working to send you to the moon | king5.com
KENT, Wash. — With an expanding local employment base of 2,000 workers, Kent-based Blue Origin is perhaps the biggest of the new space companies that call Washington state home.
Founded by Amazon's Jeff Bezos, the company has long-been considered secretive, or at the very least, low-profile. Now that appears to be changing.
The company's new headquarters sits on 30 acres of land with nearly half the real estate dedicated to providing 50,000 cubic yards of floodwater storage and wildlife habitat, along with measures to control invasive plant species. Its blue and white fabric roof and the open, well-lit space inside is a big change from the unmarked, low key headquarters across the street.

Blood clots such as DVT's are typically associated with symptoms such as pain in the area, swelling of the limb involved, and redness and warmth of the skin overlying the clot. Travel-related clots and clots due to being sedentary (for instance, during or after a surgery) tend to be more commonly in the large veins of the legs. Clots in the large veins of the neck are more commonly seen after neck surgery, or after placement of a catheter in the neck during or after a medical illness.
NASA's 1st SLS Megarocket Core Loaded Onto Barge Ahead of Key Engine Test | Space
The 212-foot-long (65 meters) SLS core stage rolled out of NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans Wednesday (Jan. 8) and was loaded onto a barge, agency officials announced.
That barge will soon depart for NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, where the booster will endure a crucial, months-long "green run" test designed to demonstrate its fitness to send astronauts to the moon, Mars and other deep-space destinations.
