I haven't had the easiest life. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. High blood pressure, skipping heartbeat...etc. But I always had my books. Nicholas Basbanes once called the love of books A Gentle Madness. In his book Patience and Fortitude he talks about books ruined by water IIRC...

Apart from the pulsar planets--the first easily seen exo-worlds were "Hot Jupiters" very close to their respective stars--where that hammer-throw wobble was really evident. So you'd know the first exo-moon detected would have to be a whopper, right? Here you go...

Boeing won the contract to build the DARPA spaceplane: http://spacenews.com/darpa-selects-boeing-for-spaceplane-project/ http://spaceflight101.com/boeing-darpa-reveal-phantom-express-space-plane-design/ The Phantom Express vehicle will take off vertically, with an upper stage carrying a...

Sergey Brin looks to have something very large in the works In 2015, Google unit Planetary Ventures took over the large hangars at Ames from NASA and turned them into laboratories for the company. Brin's airship, which isn’t an Alphabet project, is already taking shape inside one. Engineers...

I didn't see a thread on this--so here goes

"We show that when you have a vertical impact into snow - an analog for the porous ice we think might be just beneath the surface of Ceres - you can have about 77 percent of the impactor's mass stay in or near the crater."...

One of the problems with space elevators will be the constant attack by atomic oxygen--not to mention icing loads near the ITCZ. (Convection is deeper near the equator) One concept I had was an asteroid bola with a tail that could fly by Earth, deposit a large load, and yank a load upward...

Over at the Cosmoquest Forum, I saw this listing: Earth-based radio astronomy below frequencies of 30MHz is severely restricted due to man-made interference, ionospheric distortion and almost complete non-transparency of the ionosphere below 10MHz. Therefore, this narrow spectral band remains...

You have all heard of the EM drive whatsit, but here is an actual example of what it might look like. This is not the recent ringship mind you: https://www.flickr.com/photos/123021064@N05/sets/72157644113972600/ ---but more of a shuttle for it perhaps...

Here is a little of what I have been working on My first attempt was just a refit saucer atop Aridas Sophia's Balson: I saw a wider saucer on the web and thought that balanced things out Another attempt showing Balson, the refit, and the USS Elegance NCC-1979 Still another with the...

The August 2014 issue of AIR & SPACE SMITHSONIAN is one of the best I've seen. It has some history of the first Pacific solo flights, that didn't get a lot of press--Bill Sweetman laments the problems in finding support for of supersonic flight. Gore sat as DSCOVR was called, is also...
