In March, we wrote about Antimatter rocket, a future spacecraft that could reach the speed of 72 million miles per hour and potentially makes future interstellar travel a reality. But for some of us who have no desire to visit Mars […]
Just last month, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) officially selected SpaceX for the $2.9 billion Human Landing System (HLS) beating out Bezos’ Blue and Dynetics. It was just the latest in strings of defeats recorded by Jeff Bezos’ space […]
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced today that it has awarded $500,000 to universities, small businesses, and garage inventors for ideas for next-generation energy infrastructure on the Moon. The awards were made to seven winning teams in Phase […]
Andrew Weir, the author of the novel “The Martian,” once said, “Mars is horribly inhospitable. Though it’s an awesome idea – living on Mars – it would be far easier to colonize Earth’s ocean floor. There won’t be a significant […]
Have you heard the phrase, “It’s not rocket science?” When someone says this, they usually mean that something is not too difficult. Oftentimes, “rocket science” is used as a metaphor for something complex, complicated, arcane, or difficult. Rocket science is based on basic […]
SpaceX launched and successfully landed the latest prototype of its Starship (SN15) rocket on Wednesday, in the fifth high-altitude test flight of the system this month at SpaceX’s development and launch site in Boca Chica, Texas. However, there was a […]
It’s been over two years since we last wrote about OneWeb, a global communications startup company with a mission to bring connectivity to everyone, everywhere, through a global satellite constellation. Back then, OneWeb secured $1.25 billion from Japanese giant SoftBank to mass-produce high-speed internet […]
They did it again! Elon Musk’s SpaceX and NASA have successfully launched astronauts into space. This launch is the third crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This launch is also special because it was launched using a reused Dragon spacecraft […]
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) just officially announced SpaceX was the ONLY selection by NASA for the $2.9 billion Human Landing System (HLS) beating out both the National Team and Dyanetics. Congratulations to Elon Musk and SpaceX team. […]
Carl Sagan once said, “All civilizations become either spacefaring or extinct.” Space transportation is now a reality, thanks to private spaceflight companies like Virgin Atlantic, SpaceX, and new innovative technology startups like Phantom Space Corporation, a Tucson, Arizona-based tech startup focused on space transportation including […]
Fate loves irony is a phrase that describes events in our lives when the opposite of what we expect happens. A famous example is a fire station that burns down. In the early 1990s, way before he became a millionaire and […]
Just a day after U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken warned China that it would be a “serious mistake” for anyone to try and change the status quo in the western Pacific via military threats, China flexed its military muscle exercises […]

SpaceX wants to connect more than just homes to its Starlink satellite internet. According to a request recently filed with the Federal Communications Commission, Elon Musk’s space company now wants to connect aircraft, ships, large trucks, RVs, and other moving vehicles […]
On Thursday, SpaceX’s Starship SN10 prototype aborted the first launch attempt due to what Elon Musk describes as “slightly conservative high thrust limit and increasing thrust limit.” Three hours later, the SpaceX team retried the launch and successfully landed the […]
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. Our lonely planet orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149.60 million km (92.96 million mi), and one complete orbit takes 365.256 days. The temperature of the Sun […]
Last Friday, we wrote about the amazing 1.8 billion-pixel panorama of 1,200 images captured by the NASA Curiosity rover after 9 years on the Red planet. A day before, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory achieved engineering a feat by the […]
Today, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory achieved engineering a feat by the landing of Perseverance rover on Mars. The confirmation of the successful touchdown was announced in mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California at 3:55 p.m. […]
In the summer of 2020, SpaceX raised $1.9 billion in funding at a little over $40 billion in valuation, according to a regulatory filing which showed that 75 investors made equity investments in Elon Musk’s launch company. The announcement came just three months after […]
