  1. This is a video about the possibility of colonization of Venus put forward by NASA. Personally, I think the idea colonizing Venus is completely useless idea. Even more useless than colonizing Mars. Venus environment is even more harsh than environment on Mars which will we should understand that the life of human beings will be changed completely as a result of the harsh environment of Venus and will not be the same as we have on Earth.

    Today space debris became rather an important issue to be solved in the space exploration area. That is why a lot of space companies wanna make some ``cleaning`` missions to clean the Earth`s orbit from this space junk. So could you please name some ``cleaning`` missions which are about to be launched in the nearest time?

  3. Yeah, NASA announced recently that it will send, not one, but two spacecraft to Venus this decade as part of its efforts to ramp up exploration of the closest planet to Earth. The decision was hailed by scientists who study Venus and have felt neglected by a space agency decidedly more interested in Mars. NASA has not sent a robotic spacecraft to Venus since the launch of the Magellan orbiter in 1989. Launched by space shuttle Atlantis, Magellan made a controlled entry into the Venusian atmosphere in 1994 after collecting reams of data that have tantalized scientists ever since."

    Just saw this thread and while its true that much of the space tourism is popular it can be made profitable for a few hundred thousand dollars per customer which means the market is large enough that there are enough rich who'd want to do it. This and low orbital flights are something that will take off during our lives even if largely the preserve of a few million wealthy people and firms.

    This space hotel must be opened in 2027. The question is how they are going to solve artificial gravity issue. The artificial gravity being an essential component of the end-design marketed here, there won't be any significant source of profits prior to its full achievement. This does not work in the Space industry where contingency is inherent to this market.

    It's easy to assume odds with the sheer size of the universe, but we don't know how life started on Earth. Multiple rocky exo-planets found to be in a habitable zone isn't enough to suggest it can harbour life.

    That is a good point. That is why we need to keep on discovering new exoplanets and get some new information about them. That is why Ariel space telescope is rather important mission for further discovering of exoplanets and some details about them.

    There’s no doubt for me.

    We have around 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone, around 80 billion of those being Class F, G or K (though it now seems likely we can get habitable worlds even if tidally locked around M type stars) and the science suggests there at least as many planets as stars. This also ignores moons (Titan suggests that atmospheric moons could be reasonably common).

    We know that rocky planets outnumber gas giants (the most common being larger than earth and closer to the star) but even with current methods favouring larger, closer planets around stars we still find about 1.5% being very similar to earth rather than Venus (the most common so far) or ice giants (none comparable in our system). So at worst our current science (which again is likely to downplay rather than overplay the number of likely earths) suggests 1.2bn earths, potentially more like 6 billion and possibly more as our telescopes become more sensitive.

    Even allowing for 1% of worlds on our lower boundary producing intelligent life (Earth produced life in a billion years) then we are at tens of millions of worlds.

    Now whether interstellar travel is achievable or a system of 4 gas giants and some rocks looks interesting enough to visit is another question.

    So lets see what one space mission will discover us)
    I`ve read an article about Ariel space telescope. The mission is dedicated to surveying planets found beyond our solar system, otherwise known as exoplanets or extrasolar planets, in order to study the formation and evolution of their atmospheres.

    Yes, absolutely.

    I think it's kind of naive to believe we are special and alone. 

    If you think how many stars are out there in the billions of galaxies, each with their own solar systems and possible planets orbiting them, surely there has to be something else.

    On the subject of aliens etc, I'm not even convinced we would recognise them/be able to communicate with them if we saw them - especially if they are so far advanced they are able to traverse space.

     

    I think so too. Recently I`ve read an article that the Earth-like planet was found.  "Earth Like Planet Found orbiting Proxima Centauri" by Al Paslow, published Sept.1, 2016; updated June 12, 2017, Mystic Sciences. Amazing detailed online article with artist illustration.

  8. In addition to my answer above, I wanna say that I am not the specialist in the area of building such things but still I assume that it`s rather expensive thing to build and as for me it`s completely needless and useless. On the Earth`s orbit we already have a lot of space junk which became the issue for space companies.

  9. Personally I think that this concept seems interesting. But there are some scientific problems that are needed to be solved before this project starts building. Also, as for me I don`t see any necessity of this space hotel. Just imagine how much it would cost to build it. I assume we have more important stuff in space exploration. ( not taking into consideration issues we have on Earth )

  10.  I`ve bumped into some interesting article and I wanna share it with you and hear your thoughts about that project. The world`s first space hotel is slated to open in 2027 . Orbital Assembly Corporation, the group behind Voyager Station, has announced plans to begin building the hotel in low Earth orbit in 2025. The hotel will be able to accomodate 400 people and it will have a cinema, gyms, health spa, reastaurants, libraries and more stuff https://hypebeast.com/2021/3/orbital-assembly-corporation-voyager-station-expected-2027-opening-announcement?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ig_bio

    The emerging space technology In the modern world, science and technology are fast-growing things, and as we can see a lot of new space technologies are about to be produced or invented. Which one do you expect the most and which one do you think might be the most useful for humans or for space exploration?

    Information on how to watch the landing of the Perseverance rover.

     

    Did you hear about the first ever UK-built Mars rover? The launch schedules for 2022
    The overall objective of this mission is to investigate the presence and history of water on Mars to consider the question of whether or not life either has existed or still does exist there.

    Yes, right now the success will be getting a person on Mars and back. It will probably be next century before there is a bubble city or teraforming.

    This is even problematic now to  get there and I think that we are not ready for that. Our technology is too we and still need an improvement. Probably in 10 years we will be able to send crewed mission on the red planet but not now.

    Mars will not be properly colonised in our lifetimes due to the constraints however yes we should absolutely venture beyond our own planet be it for resources or science. Actually getting there is doable in terms of reasonable development.

    Curious as to what you mean. Climate change will cause severe ecological damage if unchecked and may even cause food/water pressures in some areas of the world however there is no reasonable scenario which results in humans becoming extinct.

    I consider that we can use Mars not for living aims. If Mars has some fossils we can use for our benefits, we can use red planet for that purpose. But now we can only dream and discuss that as our technology is too weak for that.

    Of all the rocky/solid bodies in the solar system, the surface of Venus is undoubtedly the most hostile to a human landing.  Even the robust unmanned probes that have landed there succumb to conditions within hours. The Jovian moon Io is probably second in terms of hostile environment, but that's more to do with the strong radiation field of Jupiter.

    The mid/upper layers of Venus however might be tolerable for simple extromophile organisms.

    The surface of Venus might be more tolerable for simple extremophile organisms or even for humans but the pressure and high temperature makes it impossible even to send crewed mission there. There are a lot of similarities between Earth and Venus but if we wanna talk about crewed mission on another planet, Mars is a better place to survive, notwithstanding the harsh environment and high level of radiation.
