NASA Begins Plans To Crash The International Space Station Into The Ocean

BroBible

NASA has reportedly decided that the International Space Station has just about come to the end of its usefulness and will be paying Elon Musk’s SpaceX company to destroy it. SpaceX will received up to $843 million from NASA to pull the International Space Station back to Earth by 2030, destroying it as it passes […]

Wind Tunnel Study Reveals Hypersonic Jet Engine Flow Can Be Controlled Optically. Researchers at the University of Virginia are exploring the potential of hypersonic jets for space travel, using innovations in engine control and sensing techniques. The work, supported by NASA, aims to enhance scramjet performance through adaptive control systems and optical sensors, potentially leading to safer, more efficient space access vehicles that function like aircraft.

ITER — which is set to become the world’s biggest fusion reactor, and one of history’s most expensive science experiments — has reached a key milestone on its mission to create a mini Sun on Earth. But despite the apparent progress, the megaproject has also been hit by yet more delays and surging costs.

Though plain enough to be considered vernacular, this house has Victorian sensibilities and therefore I’d consider it a transitional Folk Victorian. It’s actually quite imposing and set beautifully back on a large lot in the small residential section of Metcalfe. It was identified as the Lanier House in the 1977 nomination of the Metcalfe Historic […]

We all know people with a ‘sixth sense’ who seem to be just a little more in tune with the world than everyone else. Do you know which zodiac signs they probably are? We can’t be sure, but we’ll share the three signs most likely to have that bonus sense. Having six senses can be a burden and a blessing, and you just may find if you are one of these three signs that some things in your life can be explained by having an extra sense.

The largest new geothermal power development in the US has received the backing of a major utility company, in what is being hailed as a major boost towards addressing climate change.Houston-based geothermal firm Fervo Energy is developing a plant capable of generating 400 megawatts of clean electricity – enough to power around 400,000 homes – in southwest Utah.On Tuesday, Fervo announced that the utility company Southern California Edison utillty would be purchasing electricity from its new renewable energy facility.The clean electricity will reduce the need for traditional power plants that cause climate change. The boost could go a long way...

Chinese scientists have unveiled the next generation of their "artificial sun." And while it sounds like a headline fit for the distant future, the breakthrough could have an impact soon. They haven't created another star, but the experts are figuring out how to harness the powerful nuclear fusion power that...

Creators of 'artificial sun' announce another nuclear fusion breakthrough: 'World-first achievement'

The ITER (International Tokomak) fusion reactor currently being built in France will not achieve first operation until 2034 – almost a decade later than previously planned and some 50 years after the project was first conceived in 1985. The decision by ITER management to take another 10 years constructing the machine means that the first experiments using burning fusion fuel – a mixture of deuterium and tritium (D–T) – will now have to wait until 2039.

Time: It bends and warps, or seems to speed up or slow down, depending on your position or perception. So measuring its passing accurately is one of the most fundamental tasks in physics – which could help land us on  Mars or even observe dark matter.



					
			

Now, physicists at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Delaware have developed the most accurate and precise atomic clock yet, using a 'web' of light to trap and excite a diffuse cloud of cold strontium atoms.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The company released an image captured by its satellite from a distance of just 50 meters (164 feet) on June 14, the most recent milestone in an ambitious program that aims to eventually remove debris from orbit. During this first phase of the campaign, the Active Debris Removal by Astroscale-Japan (ADRAS-J) satellite is demonstrating safe approach maneuvers, called rendezvous and proximity operations, with the target object, as well as obtaining images and other data about it.
