2014-10-23 23:54:50| TechNewsWorld
The third in a series of four simulated missions to Mars planned by NASA kicked off last week at a remote site on the Hawaiian island of Mauna Loa. A six-person team, comprising the Hawai'i Space Exploration Analog and Simulation 3 mission, is inhabiting a dome for an eight-month study of the human factors that contribute to astronaut crew function and performance over time.

Questions about the possible sale of public assets and a government loan to a charity to expand a medical research centre dominated the return of the Ontario legislature Monday. Except for a brief post-election summer sitting in which the government passed its budget, the start of the fall session marked the beginning in earnest of Liberal majority reign.

MAVEN captures first images of Mars atmosphere, braces for close comet flyby
2014-10-15 14:28:01| Extremetech
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft, which arrived at Mars last month, has sent back its first images of the Red Planet's atmosphere as it was battered by a large solar storm. These images are the first of their kind, providing us with information about Mars' ozone layer, and the tenuous oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen coronas at the edge of Mars' atmosphere. These coronas can tell us what the conditions on Mars might've been like over the last four billion years, detailing how the planet went from being warm and wet (and perfectly suited to harboring life), to the cold, dry, dusty sphere that it is today.

The first Mars One colonists will suffocate, starve, and be incinerated, according to MIT
2014-10-13 15:36:45| Extremetech
In the 2020s, Mars One -- essentially a Dutch-made extraplanetary reality TV show -- will send amateur astronauts on a one-way trip to Mars. The Mars One mission, according to a new report by aerospace researchers at MIT, might make for particularly morbid viewing: Analyzing the Mars One mission plan, they found that the first astronaut would suffocate after 68 days. The other astronauts would die of starvation, dehydration, or incineration in an oxygen-rich atmosphere.
Musks million man march to Mars

With SpaceX now set to receive its $2.6 billion slice of the manned space travel pie, Elon Musk has sensed the time is right to set the Mars agenda. He argues that a colony on Mars would just be for thrills or exploration, but a necessary safeguard for human life at large.
