Majority Americans believe US must continue as global leader in space

Americans Want US as global Space leader

About seven out of ten Americans believe that the United States must continue to maintain its position as a global leader in space exploration, with both Republicans and Democrats supporting this view. Over 50 years ago, the space race between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union captivated the world. However, as more countries like India and China pursue their space exploration goals, the U.S. faces new challenges in maintaining its leadership.
Fusion Rocket Engine: Pioneering Technology for Faster Space Travel

Fusion Rocket Engine: Pioneering Technology for Faster Space Travel

Pulsar Fusion is constructing the largest fusion rocket engine to demonstrate the potential of nuclear fusion propulsion in revolutionizing space travel. With the ability to generate ultra-high temperatures and pressures, this technology aims to halve travel times to Mars and significantly shorten journeys to distant celestial bodies. By leveraging machine-learning algorithms, scientists are working to stabilize and control the super-hot plasma necessary for fusion. If successful, this propulsion system could achieve speeds of 500,000 miles per hour and unlock new possibilities for space exploration.

Chandrayaan-3: India Fourth to Land Spacecraft on Moon

Chandrayaan-3, the follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2, is scheduled for launch from Sriharikota, marking India's journey to become the fourth country to achieve a soft landing on the moon's surface. Union Minister Jitendra Singh highlights India's rise in space expertise and collaborations with other nations. The mission aims to demonstrate India's capability in safe landing, rover exploration, and in-situ scientific experiments on the lunar surface. The spacecraft will utilize the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 developed by ISRO.
A Wooden Satellite To Space

A Wooden Satellite To Space

 Is it absurd to think of sending a wooden satellite into space? Though wood is not considered as durable as metal, an experiment shows wood is surprisingly sturdy in outer space. This prompted a group of researchers to put the first wooden satellite into space and they would probably launch in in 2024, if things go well.
