Since 2015, reusable rockets have dramatically decreased the cost of transportation from Earth to orbit
Such process is paving the path toward civilian space development and astropolitical uses of space as well, and is creating a growing interdependent relationship between life on and beyond Earth. 2015 can now be identified as a “turning point” in history, signifying a change of paradigm, from “traditional” aerospace to a “new space” age.
As soon as the U.N. 2030 Agenda [1] was published, some relevant criticalities appeared. The general criteria supporting the concept of sustainability developed by the agenda is an unquestioned limitation to the boundary of Earth’s atmosphere. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, was conceptualized during the traditional aerospace age: outer space was not considered, as a dimension that helps to increase the sustainability of development. Space science and technologies are supporting social and environmental goals on Earth, for many years. Yet that will not be enough, to warrant a really sustainable development. To allow a real sustainable development, it is indispensable and urgent to start civilian space development, outside Earth boundaries. Therefore the UN 2030 Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals needs to be updated.
India’s third moon mission gears up for Moon soft landing
Chandrayaan-3 is edging closer to making a soft landing on the lunar south pole on August 23.
The Indian Space Research Organization’s (ISRO) third Moon mission is edging closer to making a soft landing on the lunar south pole on August 23.
The agency is now preparing for the last stage of its Chandrayaan-3 mission.

On Thursday, August 17, the mission successfully separated the lander module from the propulsion module, which carried the spacecraft to the Moon.
Bitcoin plunges more than 10% after Elon Musk’s SpaceX reportedly sold the cryptocurrency
The price of bitcoin plunged about 10% hours after it was revealed that Elon Musk’s SpaceX sold the cryptocurrency.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that SpaceX, which first purchased bitcoin in 2021, wrote down the value of its bitcoin holdings by a total of $373 million in 2021 and 2022 and has sold the crypto.
The write-down coincides with a steep drop in bitcoin’s price, which crashed in late 2021, setting off a “crypto winter” that extended through most of 2022.
Elon Musk Says One Of The Most Difficult Choices He Ever Had To Make Was When He Had ‘Just $30 Million Left’
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, revealed that one of the toughest choices he’s had to make in his life was when he had “$30 million dollars left.”
Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, revealed that choosing which company to invest his last $30 million in was tough.
In a conversation with screenwriter, producer and director Jonathan Nolan during a SXSW interview titled “Elon Musk Answers Your Questions!”, Musk shared his insights on topics ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) to Mars and business. He delved into his early entrepreneurial years, which ultimately led to the creation of his groundbreaking companies, including how he made $180 million from the sale of PayPal.
Mysterious New Warp Drive Patent Surfaces Online
😗😁 2021
After appearing for decades in science fiction, then moving into an actual theory, a new patent for an updated warp drive was published last year to no fanfare. Like many other false starts in cutting-edge research, the patent may represent the next step in the expanding theory, or it could mean the practical, real-world design of a functioning warp drive is on the horizon.
Background: How to Bend Space-Time with A Warp Drive
After first publishing his groundbreaking 1994 warp drive concept in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity, Mexican Mathematician and Physicist Miguel Alcubierre received significant positive and negative feedback. Most applauded his solution, which did indeed appear to create a working theory on how a warp drive might allow faster than light travel without violating the laws of physics. In contrast, others zeroed in on the incredible amount of energy needed to propel his theoretical spacecraft.

Lack of Computing Power Is AI’s No. 1 Problem
If you’ve been following the news recently, you know everyone is talking about how artificial intelligence (AI) is going to change everything.
Take ChatGPT, for example.
Before ChatGPT, almost no one understood what AI was and what it could do.
For most folks, AI was either an abstract concept that wouldn’t become reality or a futuristic idea like space travel.
Cutting Edge Levitation Technologies Aim to Revolutionize Bioprinting and Space Travel
A new project is using cutting-edge levitation techniques to make bioprinting heart models and other complex tissues a reality.
Dubbed PULSE, the project combines the recently developed techniques of acoustic levitation and magnetic levitation to manipulate individual components without actually touching them. It’s a process that the researchers involved hope will one day facilitate the bioprinting of organs and other human tissues in much greater detail and complexity than what is achievable with current techniques.
If perfected, the researchers also hope this type of bioprinting could even help on long-term space missions as more accurate organ models can create more accurate defenses against radiation and other stresses of space travel.
