Thought provoking video.. 1 hour.. In this insightful video scientists postulate that the electrical forces have not been given their correct weight in many of our scientific models.. https://youtube/watch?v=5AUA7XS0TvA Interesting video! 3 minutes.. Perhaps the study of planetary magnetic fields could help us develop technology to shield our astronauts from cosmic radiation while exploring deep space..... https://youtube/watch?v=9MVRMzmwubM Affordable access to space could enable a truly utopian society here on Earth.. The resources we need for our societies are in abundance in space.. Minerals, water, clean energy are waiting up there for us.. Investment in spaceflight produces high paying jobs in engineering and the sciences that in turn create many innovations that benefit mankind in other areas than spaceflight.. Its worth the investment... popsci/technology/article/2013-08/runway-orbit-and-back The virtues of the reusable space plane are obvious.. Reliable affordable access to space will bring a prosperous future... darpa.mil/NewsEvents/Releases/2014/07/15.aspx Excellent video!.. 7 minutes.... Space Based Solar Power is efficient and suitable for base load electrical generation due to its reliability... Japan is taking a serious endeavour to develop the system.. Lets not get left behind!.. https://youtube/watch?v=D56vRfv71OA There is serious money to be made!.. Resources that are apparently scarce here on Earth are in near infinite quantities in space!... The exploration of space has yielded the prospect of a space based economy that will better our lives the same way the technological triumphs of space exploration do! businessinsider/japan-is-launching-an-asteroid-mining-space-program-2014-9?utm_content=buffer8f0d3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=buffer The Skylon Space Plane with its revolutionary hybrid engine holds the promise of inexpensive routine access to space... The space plane takes off like a jet enters orbit then returns to Earth to land on a runway.. The Sabre engine breathes air like a jet engine at low altitudes then transforms to a rocket engine at higher altitudes.. This technological marvel is ready to push British aerospace industry to the top of the technological titans! Here are some videos on this triumph of engineering! Skylon. The Key To Economic Access To Space https://youtube/watch?v=LYos3J_8D5Q Skylon...Lecture by : Alan Bond on 3rd March 2014 https://youtube/watch?v=jzoP-bXMJjM Skylon...

Lets fund agencies that inspire youth to attain high goals in science and technology that directly transfer to increased quality of life for us all! Every dollar invested in the space exploration program returns several to the economy that funded it with innovative new products, high paying science and technology jobs, further research contracts and more! Click on See More To check out the NASA Spinoff page that displays technologies developed by NASA that are put to use in other areas besides space flight to increase the quality of life for us all! In light of recent events... I would say an increase in NASAs budget would be a logical move.. https://facebook/PennyForNASA Informative video demonstrating how internal heat of Europa interacts with the ice surface. Many scientists believe this is where to look for life in our solar system. Many believe the basic requirements for life have been satisfied here. https://youtube/watch?v=ldzRCO55cUw&feature=digest_fri I finished reading a NASA publication in July 2014, titled NASA Space Technology Roadmaps and Priorities.. In that publication it clearly outlines that the most significant obstacle to long duration human space flight is the exposure to R...adiation... The second largest obstacle is the effects on the human body in a 0 G or micro gravity environment.. What research is being done into these two challenges?.. Is there any thought of putting two space modules coupled by a truss rotating around a center point in orbit?.. I dont think it would be overly expensive to get some valuable data in this way... If we want to go anywhere besides the moon these are the challenges upon us.. Mitigating micro gravity and radiation exposure.. nasa.gov/press/2014/august/the-future-is-now-innovative-advanced-concepts-selected-for-continued-study/ Many scientists believe Europa is the best place to look for life in our solar system... The newly discovered fact that Europa has plate tectonics makes the icy world even more enticing! Plate tectonics here on Earth are driven by heat.. Heat from within the Earths crust drives the motion of these plates.. The same heat gives rise to various geological formations that exhaust heat and minerals that support some very unique and specialized life forms that do not use photosynthesis as the base of their food webs.. The heat and the minerals sustain life in these remote depths of the ocean.. Scientists believe that the same could happen on Europa. Investigation of Europa would answer some very fundamental questions about the origin of the solar system and the origin of us.. solarsystem.nasa.gov/europa/newsdisplay.cfm?Subsite_News_ID=36712&SiteID=4 Great video!... 27 minutes... The Cassini Mission has returned vast amounts of data that has lead to new insights into the origin of the solar system, the universe and us! Cassini-Huygens Mission to Titan Saturns Moon - Documentary https://youtube/watch?v=3BG7FVUvd04 Lots of benefits to a craft like the proposed.. It stays in orbit and does not have to fight the Earths gravity for each launch.. This gives the mission planners to have a much larger vessel with cost savings for each mission.. The larger vessel accommodates more crew, more science instruments, more crew comfort, it makes possible longer missions with a higher margin of crew safety!
