Gremlich Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I thought in might be nice to have space related news posted to keep people informed about what "We" are doing vis-a-vis space. We have Space-X, NASA and Blue Origin all doing things that will bring the Earth's population closer to, and, in fact, into Space. I consider this On-topic. My first offering (and I hope some of you will also post interesting bits) is Robot repair drones for satellites at higher altitudes - here is the VIPIR And apparently, Pluto has much more water that previously thought AstroJak, WarWulf, Donut and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ostia Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I still can't get over the fact that a planet so close to us actually has a giant heart on it...what are the chances that #1 that shape means something to our society as a whole AND #2 a nearby planet has one on its surface!! Coincidence? I THINK NOT! Spoiler Donut, KKillroyV2, GeraldEvans and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlich Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Russian and the ESA are going to the Moon, Alice!! If you read the article, you'll see something about the Luna 25 program which had been postponed often. I think that they hired Derek Smart for the Luna 25 missions back in 1997, and, well, you know Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
