For anthropologists and other social scientists, the space race in the 1950s served as a period of cultural and technological transformation as well as an opportunity to advance the public good. Space exploration marked a distinct point in history--a time where humanity knew change was imminent and it could record societal impacts as they occurred.
In order to do so, Dr. Michael initiated Project Man in Space in 1955. Project Man in Space was a program--comprised of academics from anthropology, psychology, and political science--that sought to analyze perceptions of space exploration among the American public.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Boeing's Starliner is the future of space travel
It's been five years since "The Dress" divided the internet, and now another optical illusion is here to drive you mad.

The actress, fashion designer and mom of two also opened up about parenting during a pandemic with Ryan Gosling.
ABC News' chief meteorologist says she'll "do whatever it takes for everyone to realize we need to make changes and clean-up our planet— NOW."
The Expanse Is Basically Game of Thrones in Space - but Better
Long-running TV dramas are notoriously hard to pull off. What begins as a promising pilot or first season can very easily transition into an incredibly long series that simply doesn't capture the magic it did at its inception. From Dexter to Lost, there are countless instances of this. However, the most recent (and possibly most infamous) example is Game of Thrones .

Set hundreds of years in the future with a humanity that has achieved massive advancements in space travel, The Expanse follows several perspectives of a cold war between Earth and the newly founded Mars government, as well as rising tensions on the many mining colonies that make up what is known as the Belt.
Russia: Space Expansionism Anew? | Global Risk Insights
A recent detection of phosphine gas, a by-product of microbial organisms on Earth, in Venus' atmosphere precipitated a renewal of Russia's space aspirations. In September 2020, Russia's Roscosmos declared Venus a "Russian planet" and announced their intention of sending a national mission to Earth's closest neighbour, independent from the one planned with the US.
During the Cold War era, the former Soviet Union rapidly developed its space capabilities and accomplished many firsts. Russian engineers succeeded in sending the first mission to leave Earth, or Luna 1. In 1957, the first artificial satellite, Sputnik 1 , was launched. Four years later, the Soviet Union sent the first person to fly in space, Yuri Gagarin.

Ultra Safe Nuclear Technologies Delivers Advanced Nuclear Thermal Propulsion Design To NASA
Ultra Safe Nuclear Technologies (USNC-Tech) has delivered a design concept to NASA as part of a study on nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) flight demonstration. NTP technology provides unprecedented high-impulse thrust performance for deep space missions such as crewed missions to the moon and Mars. The NASA-sponsored study, managed by Analytical Mechanics Associates (AMA), explored NTP concepts and designs enabling deep space travel.
"We want to lead the effort to open new frontiers in space, and do it quickly and safely," said Dr. Michael Eades, principal engineer at USNC-Tech. "Our engine maximizes the use of proven technology, eliminates failure modes of previous NTP concepts, and has a specific impulse more than twice that of chemical systems."
The photographs revealing some of Nasa's most exclusive ventures
Nasa: Past and Present Dreams of the Future lands on my desk with roughly the same force as a lunar module returning to Earth. Weighing in at an impressive five kilograms, photographer Benedict Redgrove's book, almost a decade in the making, is a visual homage to the achievements of the American space agency.
The length of the project gave Redgrove the chance to photograph objects and places to which Nasa rarely grants access, including individual astronaut name-stamps, helmets that have been locked away for many years, precious samples of lunar rock and the inside of the International Space Station trainer. The result is an entirely unique set of images.
NASA to try landing on an asteroid and avoid Mt. Doom | wtsp.com
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — It's a pretty amazing feat. One that is 16 years in the making. NASA's Osiris-Rex spacecraft will attempt to land on the 4.5 billion-year-old asteroid on Tuesday.
The Osiris-Rex spacecraft launched Sept. 8, 2016, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, atop an Atlas V rocket. The spacecraft spent the next 26 months cruising to Bennu, officially arriving on Dec. 3, 2018.
Since then, the spacecraft has spent nearly two years orbiting the asteroid and studying its surface.
