In a future where past and present meet, a fallen astronaut searches the unknown for a way home. What he finds will change the future of humanity forever.
Nasa's Advanced Electric Propulsion System gets a boost!
Nasa's next gen Ion propulsion system just passed another milestone test. This is good news if we ever hope to explore the stars and deep space. Below you can watch the thruster test.
Aerojet Rocketdyne successfully completed its early systems integration test for NASA’s Advanced Electric Propulsion System (AEPS) program, a next-generation propulsion capability that will further enable deep space missions.

Nasa's Mars Habitat Challenge Has a Finalist!
If you haven't heard about this yet, below is Nasa's info on the challenge. NASA's Centennial Challenges: 3D-Printed Habitat Challenge About the Challenge NASA and its partners are holding a $2.5 million competition to build a 3-D printed habitat for deep space exploration, including the agency’s journey to Mars. The multi-phase challenge is designed to advance the construction technology needed to create sustainable housing solutions for Earth and beyond. Phase 1 of the competition ran through Sept. 27, 2015. This phase, a $50,000 design competition, called on participants to develop state-of-the-art architectural concepts that take advantage of the unique capabilities 3-D printing offers. The top 30 submissions were judged, and prize money was awarded at the 2015 World Maker Faire in New York. Phase 2 is now open and challenges competitors to demonstrate a recycling system that can create structural components using terrestrial and space-based materials and recyclables. Phase 3, which is currently under development, will focus on fabrication of complete habitats and will follow completion of Phase 2. With that said, check out the video below of the First Place finalist chosen for this habitat. It looks like some pretty amazing tech.
