Space Discovery

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy proposed the nation spend $20 billion to land a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. Based on eyewitness accounts and newly discovered archival material, Chasing the Moon reveals the unknown stories of the fascinating individuals whose imaginative work across decades culminated in America’s momentous achievement. More than a story of engineers and astronauts, the moon landing - now celebrating its 50th anniversary - grew out of the dreams of science fiction writers, filmmakers, military geniuses, and rule-breaking scientists.

A journey through the minds of some of the most creative people on the planet reveals that creativity is rarely a “lightbulb moment” and instead arrives through a process of making and self-understanding.

With the doubling of time, there is no time for chance to exist! Like the particles, in the infinitely small as well as in the infinitely large, we are on Earth, the observers of an intermediate time between (external observers)+ evolving in a very fast time and (internal observers)- evolving in a very slow time. In three doubled times - past, present, future - permanent and anticipatory exchanges of information take place in imperceptible time openings. They are regulated by three speeds: the speed of light C0 and two superluminal speeds C1 and C2. Independent of the speed of the observer,...

The explorers on a 12 year- long expedition from Earth to a planet ten-billion kilometers away were prepared to deal with the possibility of intelligent life. What they were not prepared to deal with was a human civilization that had arrived from Earth almost two-thousand years earlier. When the two civilizations meet, the Earthlings struggle to create a sustainable future for themselves and the indigenous inhabitants of CRORA-41, while working to discover how it was that the human civilization arrived on CRORA to begin with

Little more than 100 years ago, maps of the world still boasted white space: places where no human had ever trod. Within a few short decades the most hostile of the world's environments had all been conquered. Likewise, in the 20th century, medicine transformed human life. Doctors took what was routinely fatal and made it survivable. As modernity brought us ever more into different kinds of extremes, doctors pushed the bounds of medical advances and human endurance. Extreme exploration challenged the body in ways that only the vanguard of science could answer.

‘It didn’t matter that they were now three miles beyond their target site, that communications were dropping out and that they were running low on fuel. All that mattered to Neil as he searched for a safe spot to land was that boulders littered the surface below. “Thirty seconds,” called mission control. In truth, the flight controllers were now no more than spectators, just like everybody else. No more needed to be said. It was down to Armstrong

Some things were never meant to be found This was as far as Eli Massen could go to escape his former life. So far from the sun, it was little more than a speck of light in the sky. A good place to hide things. Things no one was ever supposed to find. The Shatter. All that remains of two moons slammed into each other millennia ago. Leaving nothing behind but a ring of rubble orbiting the gas giant, Obitron. A dangerous place to be, but lucrative for those brave - or foolish - enough to venture there. Guiding the mineral rich fragments into the Maw for processing. Massen did not consider ...

It is a bizarrely beautiful image: A man in a spacesuit stands isolated in an alien world. His companion, the photographer, and their landing craft are reflected in his visor. This photograph, taken by Neil Armstrong of fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin, is the most famous documentation of America’s 1969 moon landing. But to people in every country on Earth, it represented and still does so much more.

Human exploration of Mars is the most ambitious and exciting scientific goal of the 21st century, and few people on earth know as much about this fascinating planet as Dr Larry Crumpler. As one of the long-term planning leads for the Mars Exploration Rover Project, he helped control the daily communications between NASA and the rovers roaming the planet to gather scientific data. In this magnificent compendium, Dr. Crumpler recounts the history of the red planet, from the earliest days when ancient astronomers turned their eyes to the heavens to the breakthrough discoveries.

Directing his polemics against the pedantry of his time, Galileo, as his own popularizer, addressed his writings to contemporary laymen. His support of Copernican cosmology, against the Church’s strong opposition, his development of a telescope, and his unorthodox opinions as a philosopher of science were the central concerns of his career and the subjects of four of his most important writings. Drake’s introductory essay place them in their biographical and historical context.
