Travel beyond the stars online or in-person to these SoCal space museums – San Bernardino
Take a drive south to the San Diego Air & Space Museum that opened on March 17 in Balboa Park. Explore everything that flies in the sky, like aircrafts and spacecrafts, or check out the video and audio files of some of the most famous explorations. With exhibitions online and in person, there's so much to see and even more to learn.
Although the museum is still temporarily closed, there are many activities and videos online to learn more about Earth's space travel history. The digital tour includes videos with information about the Apollo Boilerplate 12 and even the real astronaut suits used in space. Dive deep into the website with multiple videos of speakers with information about space and space missions from engineers and project managers involved in space travel.
Space shuttle Columbia 40th anniversary of 1st launch | khou.com
Monday marks the 40th anniversary of the launch of the first Space Shuttle, Columbia. It also happens to be 60 years since the first human flew into space, Russia's Yuri Gagarin.
Enterprise: The first space shuttle never launched, but was used for atmospheric flight tests after being released from the back of a Boeing 747. It was not built for space flight.
From Yuri Gagarin's launch to today, human spaceflight has always been political | Space
When cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to fly in space, he also became an instant celebrity, a diplomatic icon of the Soviet Union around the world.
Gagarin blasted off Earth 60 years ago on Monday (April 12), kicking off the era of human spaceflight. Rooted in the Cold War , human spaceflight was, at the time, inherently about the perception of power and prestige — and it remains so today, although the nuances of international relationships at play have changed just as much as the technological ones.
Leesburg Girl Scout Sends Experiment to Space Station - Loudoun Now
Marissa Incatasciato, a 15-year-old Girl Scout and student at Heritage High School in Leesburg, will send a science experiment aboard a SpaceX launch from the Kennedy Space Center to the International Space Station later this year.
She is one of a handful of winners of the "Making Space for Girls Challenge," which is sponsored by SpaceKids Global in conjunction with the Girl Scouts Citrus Council in Central Florida. Nearly 700 girls from around the world entered the competition, competing in three categories: creating science experiments, designing mission patches, or writing an essay about future space travel. The projects, submitted in October 2020, were presented to a group of aerospace professionals for judging.
Here's why there's still hope for interstellar travel
The hyped-up EmDrive, which allegedly produces thrust without propellant was debunked by a test at Dresden University, proving it produced no thrust at all.
But in other settings, the ‘revolutionary’ propulsion drive seems to have produced tiny levels of thrust, giving researchers from NASA and the US Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) hope that the puzzle could still be solved.
In theory, the patented drive traps microwaves in a closed chamber. As they bounce around, they seem to produce thrust without any input. When the idea was first shared with the scientific community, it seemed to be too good to be true.
Soyuz Rocket Honours Yuri Gagarin's First Space Travel, Successfully Carries Three-Man Crew to
A three-man crew docked at the international Space Station Friday after a flight honouring the 60th anniversary of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin becoming the first person in space.
A Soyuz capsule carrying Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov and NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei docked at 1105 GMT (4:35pm IST), footage broadcasted by NASA TV showed.
The Exp 65 trio aboard the Soyuz MS-18 crew ship docked to the station's Rassvet module at 7:05am today. The hatches will open at 9am for a crew greeting. More... https://t.co/ytgDoX7LLL pic.twitter.com/AdADZBpAEE
