Warp drives: Physicists give chances of faster-than-light space travel
The fastest ever spacecraft, the now- in-space Parker Solar Probe will reach a top speed of 450,000 mph. It would take just 20 seconds to go from Los Angeles to New York City at that speed, but it ...

Warp drives: Physicists give chances of faster-than-light space travel
Bottom line: If humanity wants to travel between stars, people are going to need to travel faster than light. New research suggests that it might be possible to build warp drives and beat the ...
When will we see ordinary people going into space?
There's the psychological toll of living and working in such a small space for so long. Emergencies can prop up at any moment, requiring a very calm disposition even when your life and your ...
NASA scientists consider the health risks of space travel
"Space travel is an inherently risky endeavor," she said. "And the nature of human risk is complex." You can watch the full recording of the panel discussion and other talks from the symposium here .
Space Travel Updates: When Will We Be Able To Travel To Space?
Currently, Blue Origin has a Federal Aviation Administration license for human space travel through August 2021. If the first crewed flights are successful, the public can potentially start space ...
How Far Could A Spaceship Go If We Never Ran Out Of Thrust?
Crewed space travel to another star system, at least with the technology we have today, is still a dream for future generations. ... the only light they can see from us was emitted before human ...
Hibernation for long human spaceflights is not sci-fi, scientists say
Space Exploration. Human Spaceflight. Astronauts that hibernate on long spaceflights are not just for sci-fi. We could test it in 10 years. News. By Tereza Pultarova. published 21 March 2023. "We ...
Human spaceflight
Human spaceflight (also referred to as manned spaceflight or crewed spaceflight) is spaceflight with a crew or passengers aboard a spacecraft, often with the spacecraft being operated directly by the onboard human crew.Spacecraft can also be remotely operated from ground stations on Earth, or autonomously, without any direct human involvement.People trained for spaceflight are called ...
Will Interplanetary or Interstellar Space Travel Ever Be Possible?
Human Reproduction in the Weightlessness of Space. Giving birth to humans in space has never been tried yet. Scientists are conducting tests with lab rats and learning a lot from the results. Successful human reproduction in space is dependent on how the weightless environment affects fertilization and growth of the fetus. 4
Is Time Travel Possible?
Although humans can't hop into a time machine and go back in time, we do know that clocks on airplanes and satellites travel at a different speed than those on Earth. ... This theory says that time and space are linked together. Einstein also said our universe has a speed limit: nothing can travel faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles ...
Interstellar Travel Could Be Possible Even Without Spaceships
The author of a new research article in the International Journal of Astrobiology says that ETCs may not need starships to escape existential threats and travel to another star system. They could instead use free-floating planets, also known as rogue planets. The article is "Migrating extraterrestrial civilizations and interstellar colonization ...
Opening the High Frontier of space can be different than our previous
On the other hand, most people are good. 99.9% of people on the planet just want to enjoy life. They just want a place to live, meet their needs, and have some fun along the way.
An expert offers insight into how space travel impacts the human body
Space travel is not for the faint of heart. It is a challenging and risky endeavor that requires rigorous training, preparation, and adaptation. The human body is not designed to survive in the ...
The giant solar storm is having measurable effects on Earth : NPR
The International Space Station lies within Earth's magnetosphere, so its astronauts should be mostly protected, Steenburgh says. In a statement, NASA said that astronauts would not take ...
Chinese state-backed company to launch space tourism flights by ...
Chinese commercial space company CAS Space announced its "space tourism vehicle" will first fly in 2027 and travel to the edge of space in 2028, state media reported on Friday. ... and humans on ...
Strong geomagnetic storm reaches Earth, continues through weekend
CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun's corona. They cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth. Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on Earth's surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations.SWPC has notified the operators of these systems so they can ...
Northern lights may be visible across parts of the US this ...
The center's space weather scale covers three categories: solar flares that cause high-frequency radio blackouts, geomagnetic storms and solar radiation storms.
"Extreme" G5 geomagnetic storm reaches Earth, NOAA says, following
An "extreme" G5 geomagnetic storm reached Earth on Friday, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center said, after issuing a watch earlier in the day warning of the potential for a severe impact.
