Military trains for astronaut rescues at sea amid rising space travel and ISS missions

February 06, 2025 -

As human space travel enters a new era of growth, a joint military task force recently conducted high-stakes search and rescue training off Florida’s east coast to prepare for the increasing number of astronauts returning to Earth via ocean splashdowns.

Crews from Hawaii, South Carolina, and Florida practiced critical recovery operations, simulating scenarios involving SpaceX, Boeing, and NASA’s Artemis missions. With at least four crewed ...

NASA’s first black astronaut to orbit the moon pulls political race card using poem: ‘Whitey on the moon’

April 23, 2023 - astronauts with NASA were mandated to not speak out on politics. But those days are apparently gone for good.

Glover spoke out on politics during the George Floyd protests in the summer of 2020. He told Axios that NASA was cool with that when he was hired.

“When I came to NASA, you know, they said, ‘Hey, we hired you because of who you are,’” he recounted. “OK. Cool. You get all of it.”

Artemis II is the first manned mission to the moon in almost 50 ...

MOXIE instrument aboard NASA’s Mars rover produces enough oxygen to keep an astronaut alive for a few hours on Mars

September 14, 2023 -

The MOXIE instrument has made 122 grams of oxygen since it landed on Mars in 2021 – just enough oxygen to support an astronaut for about three hours and 40 minutes. Experts believe the MOXIE instrument's achievement could be used to create future versions of the device that can store and create even more oxygen to assist future astronauts.

MOXIE first created oxygen in April 2021, and has now pulled oxygen a total of 16 times from the Martian atmosphere....

Liberals are arguing that deported illegal immigrants might have CURED CANCER or become an ASTRONAUT, so then what about aborted babies?

March 03, 2025 - astronaut who reaches out of a spaceship and stops an asteroid from destroying Earth in 2032.

So, if an illegal immigrant might have saved the world with some magnificent invention, what about all the ABORTED BABIES that the Liberals support? Any one of those Planned Parenthood abortions could have turned into an incredible human being who could have invented something amazing, right? Cured a disease! So why aren't all the Liberals and Democrats fighting to ban abortions ...

New spacesuit could save astronaut lives with a “take me home” button could be ready in 5 years, making space walks safer

December 27, 2017 -

According to Dr. Kevin Duda, a space systems engineer at The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory, Inc. (Draper) in Massachusetts, without a way to return to a spacecraft or space station, an astronaut has a risk of being lost in space. The new suit NASA and Draper are developing senses movement, acceleration, and the relative position of other crew members. Furthermore, the spacesuit's automatic navigation system can be controlled remotely by other astronauts ...

If you want to be an astronaut, you may need a good sense of humor: NASA is looking for jokers to join Mars crew

June 15, 2019 -

The federal space agency is reportedly looking for a jokester to accompany astronauts on a mission to Mars that's set to take place sometime in the 2030s, the purpose being to help keep morale high on the planned, two-year journey.

According to an anthropologist from University of Florida, having a "class clown" on long space missions like this one is essential for defusing tension and building social bridges.

"These are people that have the ability to pull ...

What do “women’s” astronaut achievements mean when the insane Left says that MEN can be women, too? NASA celebration now pointless in the age of mass gender obfuscation

January 04, 2020 -

Koch reportedly spent 289 days in space during a recent extraterrestrial excursion, and is expected to spend a total of 328 days in orbit by the time she treks back to Earth. But, again, what is NASA going to do once a "transgender" astronaut comes along to steal the top prize for longest time spent in space by a "female?"

We're already seeing this kind of thing in women's sports, as fake females smash records while leaving real females in the dust. Where does ...

Two astronauts still STRANDED on International Space Station due to mechanical failures with Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft

August 23, 2024 - astronauts to and from the ISS.

The thrusters are critical for controlling the Starliner, and there have been leaks in the propulsion system and some thrusters have unexpectedly lost power. Despite numerous tests on Earth, engineers are still puzzled by the root cause of these issues. Oddly, the thrusters appear to be functioning correctly now that the spacecraft is in space – further complicating the situation.

Given the uncertainty surrounding the propulsion ...

Mark Kelly a communist Chinese sellout? Beijing’s “lucrative” business relationships with US personalities threaten national security

October 01, 2020 -

During the retreat, held at a luxury hotel with scenic views of the Chinese countryside, Kelly delivered an hour-long speech about his experience as an astronaut and mingled with party bigwigs. These included future Chinese ambassador to the U.S., Cui Tiankai; former director for economy, Fang Xinghai; and former person-in-charge for foreign propaganda, Zhou Mingwei.

At the close of the 2003 retreat, Kelly returned to the U.S. with profitable Chinese business ...

Space cooties: Should astronauts be worried about fungi on space stations?

September 23, 2019 -

Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of these microorganisms. The study urged other researchers to investigate the possibility of fungal infections in astronauts with compromised immune systems.

A team from Ghent University evaluated the existing pool of knowledge about mycotoxins, the chemical compounds produced by fungi that might make humans sick. They tried to determine if any of these applied to the species and strains that ...

A trip to Mars would heavily irradiate astronauts with potentially deadly doses of cosmic radiation

December 02, 2018 -

The researchers based their claims on the information sent by a space probe that is currently orbiting Mars. Their data indicates that any astronaut who travels to and from Mars would be exposed to enormous doses of cosmic radiation during the entire trip.

Space is filled with small but energetic particles that travel almost as fast as light. Exposure to this cosmic radiation is not something that the human body can tolerate for long periods of time.

Fortunately ...

Space fever compromises performance: Zero gravity increases astronauts’ body temperature, taking a toll on mental and physical health

February 19, 2018 -

According to a report on the study, which looks at long-term space missions and their effects on the bodies of astronauts, weightlessness in outer space evidently causes an increase in body temperature of about one degree Celsius. That may not seem like much at first glance, but that is a significant increase considering that it happens even while the body is at rest. As long as the astronaut is out in space and experiencing weightlessness, it appears that ...

NASA okays the polluting of outer space with space station waste

November 23, 2006 - NASA okays the polluting of outer space with space station waste

Thursday, November 23, 2006 by: Ben KageTags: NASA, pollution, outer spaceNASA has a reputation for ingraining responsible waste management into its astronauts and partners in space exploration, and has often noted that celestial jumble is a growing concern. Currently the Earth's orbit is littered with old rockets, satellites, motors, nuts, bolts and other disposable equipment from previous space ...

Microgravity and radiation: Astronauts headed to Mars will face many health challenges

September 13, 2018 - astronauts will be facing increased and prolonged exposure to space radiation as well as microgravity. Tests on mice showed that simulated space radiation did not directly cause muscle and bone loss, but simulated microgravity did. Combining the two factors, muscle and bone loss were increased and hastened.

“Radiation plus microgravity amplifies the negative effect of microgravity on bone, but does not affect muscle loss,” Donahue stated. “It’s as if exposure ...

Democrats quietly prepping to anoint a NEW nominee that’s NOT Kamala Harris – who will it be?

July 26, 2024 - astronaut Mark Kelly, based on what is being reported. Some also still speculate that Michelle Obama will reemerge to potentially become the nominee.

The interesting thing about Kelly is that he is married to former Democrat Rep. Gabby Giffords who survived an assassination attempt in January of 2021. The intention of Democrats in putting up Kelly in light of this is that voters will empathize with him in much the same way that voters are empathizing with Trump for ...

Bart Sibrel tells Mike Adams: NASA faked and lied about moon landing

July 06, 2022 - astronauts.

The astronauts aboard Apollo 11 claimed that they were 130,000 miles away from Earth, but Sibrel said that was a lie because images showed they're still within the planet's orbit when they made that claim. He also shared that there were only 20 pictures of an astronaut standing on the surface of the moon, and that there's not a single still picture of Neil Armstrong standing on the surface of the moon because he purportedly refused to ...
