Space anomalies?

 Outer solar system Hunting.

NASA and other space agencies believe that there maybe one or two pineapple sized black holes near to the orbit of Pluto, while there is also the probability that another cold ice giant lurks in the ort cloud, since it is becoming hard to measure some of these very distant objects.

Planet 9 or X does now not seem anymore to be a priority and more focus is being spent on a Moon base over the International Space station, while the people's republic of China may want to share a Moon base with Russia, but not its new military space station!

In the past year many other nations around the world have joined the space race, with the Gulf states, New Zealand and Africa, they have a plethora of ideas that may change our outlook to be of more interest in the known solar system?

Space tourism is now up and running with the Galaxy flier and Musk has achieved his return rockets, that will prove invaluable on Mars and other places?

Artemis 1 Failed Again?

 ''To the Moon or not!

One has to wonder if the United States in all their pride will ever make it to the Moon again, the President just does no have the ump that John F. Kennedy had and NASA spends millions on avoiding finding life, but using the missions to boost the U.S. arms industry?

It looks at this time, following hurricane Ian that China and Russia might get there first and leave the U.S. to focus on the building of the new Gateway space station that will orbit the Moon, following the demise of the ISS (International Space Station) from 2023 to 2030!

Many nations have now sent a plethora of robotic craft to the Moon and made many new and strange discoveries and one expects that over the next one hundred years much more will be gathered as we live up there!

U.S.A. Space Expansion.

Trump Promises.

Space exploration will perhaps make the United States of America great again, much has been promised and one thinks Mr. Trump will try! The Space-X testing and return missions are improved and now working, but they are a chance thing, which remain to dangerous to put humans into space?

Co-operation with Russia may lead to the combination of Shuttle technology to develop newer systems to have that very good re-usable platform again? Plans to build a Moon base and to have a half point station to Mars will lead within the next thirty years to getting people living on the red planet.

Space also offers much research into the use of tougher materials for building, that will be cheaper than relying on metals? There are many new needs of investigations to get underway in relation to sending robotic ships to land on Pluto, investigate Uranus and Neptune and a few more interesting places too?

Space Travel.

What's new Pussycat?

Since the retirement of that fantastic space plane, the U.S Space Shuttle what does the future hold? it looks like Mars is the next target for human exploration between 2025 and 2035, it is hoped to send two missions on long range space ships to the red planet.

The first is a one way commercial venture, while the second will perhaps be a fully focused government funded scientific mission. but both hope to set up their own Martian bases. Much of the research into the establishment of these bases has for years been carried out in Antarctica and Soviet/Russian Cosmonaut underwater training facilities.

The current fleet of ROBOT/ Rovers on Mars is sending back a variety of interesting data, which reveals possible past life possibilities, probable existing atmospheric conditions?

From ISS to Moon Base?

Living on another world.

Many people have envisaged that in the space race humanity would eventually build a moon base to something akin to the British 1999 sci-fi take.

But it looks like that it will be Mars who gets the credit for the first other world base. This will probably happen for reality in the next fifty years. Maybe the first Martians will be human colonists, this will of course start an interesting ethical debate.

Any base that is eventually built will be modeled on those that are being constructed in Antarctica now. They will have to be small and easy to transport there in one piece, solar panels or a small nuclear reactor will probably be used as already on the International Space Station.

The last question is who will be the first to do such an venture, traditionally we would assume it to be the U.S. and Russia, with the ESA in support. But it may be China and a host of smaller developing nations such as Brazil, India and Iran that achieve this dream goal?
