Xors Moon Base project is a lunar habitat which seems feasible within the next ten years and able to accommodate 2-3 crews at one time, will be presented by Innspace team members. The project took 4th place in the Moon Base Design Contest. The base consists of 4 living modules and 2 additional ones covered…

The first step in learning about patents is to define what a patent is. Patents are rights granted to the creator of a technique or product that solves a problem or creates a new method of accomplishing a goal. The patent is a public document that documents these exclusive rights and benefits. The public is…

Tesla has confirmed they will build a new factory on land near its existing Shanghai plant which is poised to add an annual capacity of 450,000 cars. Tesla still reports that Shanghai currently builds over 450,000 cars per year even though monthly runrates are actually over 800,000 cars per year and capacity is over 1…

Going beyond physical limitations of telescopes, Stanford University astrophysicists have been working on a new conceptual imaging technique that would be 1,000 times more precise than the strongest imaging technology currently in use. By taking advantage of gravity’s warping effect on space-time, called lensing, scientists could potentially manipulate this phenomenon to create imaging far more…

Engineering is often associated with infrastructure, machines, computers, as well as software. But there’s one other kind of engineering many have likely already encountered unwittingly. It’s called social engineering–the kind of engineering many frown upon. For years, social engineering has played a crucial role in the global cyber threat landscape. Around 98 percent of cyber-attacks…

As blockchain use grows, the importance of scalability in the blockchain ecosystem becomes clearer. Blockchain networks can accept new applications and a higher number of transactions with the assistance of slight changes in system throughput rate. The increasing widespread usage of cryptocurrencies in everyday life has inspired the development of blockchain layers to enhance network…

I, Brian Wang, make the case and projects out what a hugely impactful development it would be for SpaceX and Tesla to develop a complete gigafactory with its supply chain and sending those to the moon and Mars and elsewhere. Those systems could have a one to two-year duplicating time. 40 years and two year…

Rocket Labs successfully launched 34 satellites and recovered the first stage. The “There And Back Again” mission also saw Rocket Lab complete a mid-air capture of the Electron booster with a helicopter for the first time. After launching to space, Electron’s first stage returned to Earth under a parachute. At 6,500 ft, Rocket Lab’s Sikorsky…

Two Russian Raptor patrol boats were destroyed at dawn today near Snake Island according to the Ukrainian military. “The Bayraktars [Turkish made drones] are working,” Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the commander in chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Raptor patrol boats can carry up to three crew and 20 personnel. They are usually equipped with machine guns…

If large scale production is created on Mars, then it would be more efficient to supply high Earth orbit from Mars than from the surface of the Earth. It would take 60-70% of the fuel to send space based solar panels or satellites to GTO (geostationary transfer orbit). Here is a Nextbigfuture video describing how…
