    NASA thinks US needs nuclear-powered spacecraft to stay ahead of China

    Agreed. My tongue was firmly placed in my cheek.

    NASA thinks US needs nuclear-powered spacecraft to stay ahead of China

    I guess I don't see the need to race with them, and spend a ton of money while doing so. let them build it and we'll "borrow" from them for a change...

    "Entropy" (1854 - 2021)

    Helio, In post #22 you make the above statement. Are you willing to elaborate on your teleological view?

    Multiverse Universe, What Do I Mean By It

    Agreed. The concept of a multiverse defies logic and proof is lacking. I was raised under the concept of a universe like that described by sam85geo. Then I started reading space.com & phys.org. I now have a sense of the elegance of the processes that are playing out in real time everywhere...

    Disabled 'astronauts-in-training' to fly weightlessly with Zero-G this weekend

    This is great. However, we need to work on making our home world accessible.

    Multiverse Universe, What Do I Mean By It

    So, I think that is the point of my judgement. For me to be here at all, let alone being able to pass judgement from a keyboard, a lot of things had to fall into place in an exact way. The multiverse concept is one way that could happen. Process design might also accomplish "me" without...

    Multiverse Universe, What Do I Mean By It

    I've become binary when it comes to this hypothesis. Either the universe is a multiverse or it was designed. The universe we recognize works a bit too well to be a random one-off.

    The planet Mars is full of life

    I've heard Mars described as a freeze-dried desert, and given modern thinking about the definition of the Goldilocks Zone, it certainly seems possible life may have existed on Mars at some point. It may still be there in a dormant state, just waiting for its moment in the sun. In the deserts...

    Our climate projections for 2500 show an Earth that is alien to humans

    One interesting "side effect" of potentially rising sea levels: Huge numbers of jobs created relocating buildings/cities/encampments and the opportunity to re-think affordable housing and living conditions for the less wealthy.

    Our climate projections for 2500 show an Earth that is alien to humans

    For the record I am not denier that humans are polluting our fair planet and we , as a species, are a potential catalyst of planetary changes - some of which will be undesirable. That said, aren't we still in a period of glaciation? Haven't there been multiple "ice ages" in our past, with...

    General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics

    A question. Does such entanglement require communication to travel at speeds greater than the speed of light?
