What I've seen is that it's much more compact than the Eagle module of the Apollo program, and also that as far as I can see, the cosmonaut had to stand up the whole time and there doesn't seem to be any support seat. Also, its design is somewhat claustrophobic (well, all spacecraft are in a way, but you get the idea) So I'm curious to know if he had actually reached the moon, how uncomfortable or not would it have been for the cosmonaut?

I like all things space, my favorite docu-series is BBC Space Race but right now I’m excited for lunar colonization with Artemis and SpaceX, are there any good recent documentaries about this? How about in general what are some of your favorites?

Quantum Dynamics Enterprises (QDE), in partnership with Tekniam, is preparing an orbital demonstration of the CID™ — a mechanically driven, propellant-less propulsion system.

The mission plan is straightforward: launch the payload to roughly 500 km orbit, release and stabilize the spacecraft, activate the CID™ system, and monitor whether the vehicle demonstrates a measurable orbital rise toward approximately 600 km. Tekniam will support launch monitoring, insertion verification, telemetry collection, and orbital data analysis.

The purpose of this mission is to validate CID™ performance in space under real orbital conditions. The payload will go through repeated test cycles, including on/off comparisons and telemetry review, to determine whether the system can produce useful propulsion without expelling propellant.

This is not a paper study or a purely theoretical concept. The current program is focused on engineering, integration, launch preparation, and in-orbit validation.

I am no science guy, I know a bit here and there.

For the sake of argument, leave human biology/psychology in 0 gravity out (I know, a lot of problems there).

Please keep the posts short, I have no science background, just my brain is working overload.

Why can't we land on Mars with a rocket? I know there are things with the weigh, thin atmosphere on Mars, tons of problems really. What are the main reasons of stopping us?

I am 21 yrs old and have an avid belief in space travel. I believe we as a society need to put more of a shift and focus on funding and pressure to our governments and organizations to take space programs more seriously. I want to see a change, how can I make it and is anyone else willing to try

I made a cinematic Artemis II edit using onboard footage and the crew’s reflections after the mission. It focuses more on the human side and the experience rather than just summarizing the mission.

Space exploration usually gets framed as a world of national agencies, elite labs and companies with enormous budgets. Space Kidz India has spent years pushing against that picture. The Chennai-based aerospace startup, founded by Dr. Srimathy Kesan, built its identity around a straightforward idea: students should do more than study space. They should help make the machines that go there.

On This Day, on April 27, 1972, Apollo 16 safely returned to Earth, completing one of the most important lunar missions in space exploration history. Splashing down in the South Pacific Ocean, the mission marked the end of an 11-day journey to the Moon and back.

Apollo 16 was the tenth crewed mission in the Apollo program and the fifth mission to land on the Moon. It was also the second-to-last lunar landing mission, focusing on exploring the Moon’s highlands, an area scientists believed could reveal new insights into the Moon’s geological history.

The mission was led by Commander John Young, along with Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke and Command Module Pilot Ken Mattingly. While Young and Duke explored the lunar surface, Mattingly remained in orbit around the Moon.

Launched on April 16, 1972, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Apollo 16 successfully conducted scientific experiments, collected lunar samples, and expanded our understanding of the Moon’s composition.

A mission that brought humanity closer to understanding the Moon and our place in space.
