Part of the answer depends on what you're looking for, and partly on where you're looking for it. Some materials are best found in the Mare regions, others in the ... 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 ...

... now. They are inflatable structures made of new very strong and light materials. Over the years we will invent even better materials for space structures and habitats. Nanotechnology is maturing and is the perfect tool to create super space materials. ---- Answer provided by John Spencer Image:K2S ...

Space station guests could perform experiments with elements, animals and plants in a low-gravity environment. And, of course ... and satellite TV. Maybe in the future, an artificial gravity swimming pool or hot tub could be designed. A swimming pool in space would be really fun. Since in weightlessness water ...

The safety part will be mandatory but could be done in less than a day. The courses that teach you what to do when you are in space will be longer—anywhere from a day to a week—and will step you through what to expect on launch, in space and on landing. There are longer classes you can ...

... outer thin metal sheet followed by an empty space followed by a blanket of composite material and finally the station metal shell. These shields are adequate to protect the ISS from ... . 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 ...

It would be a very unique machine and could only work if we had a very good forcefield since no materials would survive such temperatures. We have no force fields of any kind yet ...

... books would be very long and boring There are two ways a very long trip could be made seemingly shorter— either by shortening the journey time by traveling very fast ... to remain in contact with the ship, it would have to be manned continually for what could be hundreds of years Whether it's possible I cannot say.
