... damage. To minimize the chance of an impact causing a problem, the ISS is fitted with micro meteor shielding. This is composed of an outer thin metal sheet followed by an ... . Orbital debris greater than .5 inches in diameter can be tracked from the ground. If we know a piece of space debris is getting close, the ISS will perform an orbital ...
... happen from time to time, we have not seen it happen (not counting the meteorites that land on Earth). In 1994 we saw the fragments of a comet collide with Jupiter.

Guests could see cities ... lot of opportunities to perform gymnastics or throw a ball forever. Space station guests could perform experiments with elements, animals and plants in a low-gravity environment. And, of course, there will ...

... a good rocket fuel. We know there are relatively large amounts of hydrogen at the lunar poles. We hope it's in the form of water, but it could also be things like methane (CH4) deposited by comet impacts— we just don't know right now, although we hope to learn by 2010. Silicas are very useful for things like solar cells, which could be manufactured on the ...

... , at least at first. Since there is no atmosphere or magnetic field on the Moon we'll need to put something in the way of cosmic rays and the solar wind ... modules under a couple of meters of regolith. From there we can start digging downward. Large tunnels could be constructed underground where humans could live and work. In fact this would be the ...
