Will people get to the stars?

Scientists, engineers, philosophers, psychologists and leading experts in many other fields gathered in Houston last week at a conference entitled 100 Year Starship conferences, to discuss the possibility of making interstellar travel over the next 100 years.

This initiative will accelerate the development of new technologies related to propulsion, life support systems, design starships, and a host of other technologies necessary to send spacecraft beyond our solar system - wherever does not get even a single man-made object, - and to other stars. Since the stars are coming from us at a distance of several light years, this company, no doubt, will be a difficult and risky.

Scientists are developing a platform for landing on the Moon and Mars

Using the lessons learned from the mission "Apollo" and robotic missions sent to Mars, NASA scientists and engineers study the problems and dangers associated with landing on other planets.

The new technology is called "vertical takeoff - a vertical landing." According to the group, operating within the design and technology of NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Florida, the best approach to planning involves landing on a predetermined spot landing area.

New confirmation of the hypothesis of a comet Clovis

A new study advise the hypothesis of Clovis comet - a giant celestial body collision with the Earth, which occurred nearly 13,000 years ago, which is completely erased from the face of the planet ancient North American Clovis culture.

An international team of scientists from seven institutions of the United States argues that the neglect of three key protocols, including sorting the samples by size, explains why the team, the disputed theory that Clovis comet, did not find the iron-rich and silica-magnetized particles in the places that she explored.
