Let's not forget about the developments of other countries. After all, not only the United States, Russia and China are engaged in space development and launch spacecraft.

[part 2] 31st March, MMXXI. 0607-0630 BST; Found JUPITER as an obvious pale tiny disc in the hand held but rested 8x42 monocular. From my viewpoint, it was within the fov of this instrument and the red light atop the I-360 [or 'stick and the doughnut'] tower on the distant Brighton seafront. And wa...

Excellent count! Thank you so much. At least roughly I understand now when to expect this event. I think it will be possible to clarify the data closer to the date of the approach of the asteroid. There are still several years of waiting left. The main thing is not to forget during this time and not...

It is very interesting to know the exact time when the asteroid can be seen. Are there any more accurate calculations in which time zone at what time the asteroid will be visualized?

How many resources does this program require? My computer began to overheat wildly. I had to buy an additional cooler. Maybe this is not connected with this particular program, but in general with the load on the computer. My problem was solved by the Noctua NH-U14S, which I found in this review . I...

This is great news! It is very interesting what discoveries await us, whether theories about the existence of life on Mars, at least traces of it, will be confirmed. This will be a good argument in favor of the fact that not only our planet is inhabited. Even if these are the simplest forms of life ...

It is already very interesting to know the results of the first studies. Still, Mars is now the # 1 target. I am really looking forward to the results, because there were articles in which there were assumptions about the existence of bacteria, since there is water on Mars and presumably some microo...

Hey! It's great that you're so passionate about space exploration. I am sure that on the forum you will find a lot of interesting and new information for you. The guys here are friendly and will gladly prompt and answer your questions!

Our cat, who I have mentioned from time to time as a feline wake-up alarm-call if I sleep too much and am about to miss something astronomically interesting, insists on going out into the garden under almost any weather. During the winter she grows a thick ruff, looking rather like a tiny black &am...

This is indeed a very reasonable idea, because a conventional launch pad is not capable of raising such a colossus as a ship capable of transporting a crew and the required supply of resources (fuel, equipment, food for the crew). After all, this is not only a shell. Equipment that can withstand the...

If it's any consolation Brian, whatever Nature throws at us, she's equipped us with a brain that, given enough time and resources, can solve or, at least, moderate these problems. You're right. And as a rule, conscientious people who have chronic diseases or complications after the disease continue...

I also have a similar problem, but it's more from the laptop side. I had to urgently buy a new one, and at the moment I could only afford a budget option. I took HP for $ 500, of course not God knows what kind of investment, but for the first time it will do. So, I think that the problem may be in p...

It seems a waste Kay that nations are not pooling their space resources, instead of duplicating some of the things that others did decades ago. It would be more rational to have a global space programme. Of course, this level of co-operation isn't possible in the present divided world. It's in the ...

I think Lunar Gateway will not be the last space station to be built on the Moon. More and more space companies appear and develop in the world. I watch announcing the news , development plans and I believe that one day we will wake up and realize that we have reached a tremendous level of developme...

Yes, in the 21st century, the hardest thing to find is the sky, the purity of which is not distorted by the light of cities. Of course, outside the city there are small such spaces, but there are very few of them, and the weather does not always favor the "use" of this piece of sky.
