Saturn’s moon Enceladus and many other ice-covered moons orbiting the outer planets are believed to conceal vast subsurface oceans beneath their frozen shells. These hidden seas, trapped between layers of ice and rocky cores, make such moons some of the most promising locations in our solar system to search for extraterrestrial life. A new study published on November 24 in Nature Astronomy offers fresh insights into the internal dynamics of these worlds, helping scientists better understand the processes unfolding beneath their surfaces. The findings also shed light on how the moons’ striking and varied geological features may have formed over time. Official Site
Is thus such a bad thing, as humans explore and spend more time living / working in space, we are going to need a way to get people to / from space, but also supplies, if Boeing can be part of the supply solution.
Sure, they can be a part of the supply solution. But these capsules were originally designed for transport of astronauts, and the supply side has much more competition.
Good point, what was the main issue with the capsule? or was it with the rocket that took this in to space?
There is also perhaps going to be a need to transport items to from facilities in space, if we build a new ISS and also build one orbiting the Moon, then items / people need moving around.
I have often thought we need like they have on Star trek, shuttles or runabouts (DS9).
There’s quite a lot of issues, but the main issue is with the thrusters not firing properly, which could cause astronauts to get stranded in space. It could also prevent getting the heat shield in the proper position for re-entry, both are dangerous, obviously.
A human rated spacecraft is orders of magnitude more complex and expensive than a mere cargo carrier. Developing a human rated capsule and then only using it for cargo would be ridiculously wasteful.
Thanks! TRMNL has a UI framework, and I wanted it to look like it fit within the ecosystem, so I just looked at a bunch of plugins and imitated what I thought would work with the data I wanted to show. Mine’s probably the most similar to the Weather plugin.
