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!

Floating Homes. Part-Two.

Alternative Living.

So far many changes and ways to live have been adapted, but not many governments have taken the idea seriously as perhaps they should? Most people who enter countries as refugees end up in the homes that the local population does not want because of high crime areas and yet they then end up crying wolf?

This problem of building has remained in Europe and N-America now for over forty years, one can work out it has little to do with costs, but more with the rising value of the land to be developed for luxary tower blocks of unreachable normal pricing?

Some countries have tried many new ideas, but they are still limited to spacial projects for certain types of successful peoples. One reason for the failure to adapt this idea has to do with the laws on river boat traffic, but them many governments do very little to improve the plethora of damp and decreped land properties that already exist?

48 to 8 Hours.

Getting up to the Space Station.

Twenty years ago it took just over two days to get up to the Russian MIR Space station, this week we saw the three way Russian, ESA, U.S. mission do it in less than eight hours even with a technical fault. What amazing achievements with the tried and tested second generation MM Soyuz-Progress vehicles over that of the flamboyant yet very dangerous U.S. Space shuttle.

Timings into space are speeding up, while duration flights of just over one year at the moment cuts a possible manned trip to Mars in the next 30 years. The joint Moon base, will perhaps prepare us for that giant return trip to Mars, in say 50 years from now. 

There remains so many dangers in space travel, after nearly 58 years from Sputnik, that the next 50 will give us enough time to develop better space ships perhaps between the ISS and the Moon base. Familiarity with living their will be the key to any future Mars mission and then further out?
