A few months ago, we wrote about a fascinating movie enabling one to virtually circle the Earth in less than a minute. Along those lines, we’ve got another interesting video for you today (yes, we’re on a bit of a space exploration kick). But while the other video focused on Earth, this one encompasses the…

And so asteroid mining begins… Asteroid Mining? Yesterday, Planetary Resources announced its intention to “mine Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) for raw materials, ranging from water to precious metals.” Not wanting to be outdone, Moon Express used the opportunity to update the public on its plan to mine the moon for precious metals. These developments are, in our view,…

From where we stand, NASA’s space ventures have proved exceedingly disappointing in the four decades since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first walked on the moon.

Not to be outdone by DARPA’s never-ending list of sci-fi projects, the U.S. Army has decided to step up its game. In the next five years, it plans to spend $4 million in taxpayer funds in order to develop real-life telepathy. Synthetic Telepathy? The U.S. Army’s version of telepathy is called Synthetic Telepathy. It bears…

Over four decades have passed since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin first walked on the moon. But since then, NASA’s space ventures have proved disappointing. No one has walked on the moon since 1971. And the overall focus has shifted from manned missions and space colonization to unmanned missions and hyper-specialized research projects. So, when…
