(Natural News) One of the benefits of being an astronaut is that you get to “walk” in space. Free from the tethers of gravity and terrain, astronauts get to explore weightlessness with the best possible view of our planet and the solar system. If you’ve watched the 2013 movie, “Gravity,” a spacewalk is one of […]

(Natural News) Come 2018, Moon Express will launch its first mission to the Moon. Though originally slated for late 2017, Naveen Jain, Moon Express co-founder and chairman, told CNBC.com that the launch is “definitely” going to happen.

(Natural News) The prospect of humans one day visiting another planet has never seemed more possible than it has in recent years, but several more obstacles need to be overcome before this can become reality. Some people believe that incredible scientific discoveries could be waiting on the red planet, and NASA has recently ramped up […]

(Natural News) Going to the moon is hard on human bodies, as the astronauts on moon missions discovered after dealing with heart-related and other health issues after spending long periods of time in space. When NASA sends astronauts to Mars in the 2030s, they will face even more challenges, and they could have deadly consequences. […]

(Natural News) Bacterial cells such as E.coli were found to mutate or shapeshift in space to resist common antibiotics that successfully kill them on Earth, a study in the Frontiers in Microbiology revealed. The scientific community has long established that bacteria show different activities in space than when they are on Earth. Likewise, researchers have known that […]

(Natural News) The Mars 2020 mission will use advanced technology to seek signs of microbial life, but has it already been discovered on the Red Planet? NASA’s upcoming Mars mission scheduled to launch in the July/August 2020 time frame will use X-ray fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy in its quest to detect biosignatures on rocks. According […]

(Natural News) Researchers recently alluded that human waste such as urine and breath may one day make space travel more efficient for astronauts. While the International Space Station has already started recycling human urine into clean drinking water for astronauts, lead researcher Mark Blenner stressed that space personnel should be able to produce nutrients and material they need […]

(Natural News) The answer to the age-long question of whether life could be reanimated after deep-freeze has finally been answered. Yes, say scientists who were able to “wake up” zebrafish embryos from their cryogenic states by using gold nanorods to help with the warming process. So far, only 10 percent of the injected embryos were […]

(Natural News) Breakthroughs in image scanning and material analysis could make lunar missions easier, if we are to take the latest information being released in Nature Geoscience into consideration. Researchers from Brown University are saying they have evidence that shows the moon’s mantle is water-rich, an assumption that was only heavily hinted at but never […]
