... far, hyperspace is a science fiction concept and not accessible to today's spacecraft. If by "hyper-speed" you mean warp speed, the term used in the TV series "Star Trek," the answer is no. In that series, warp factor one was the speed of light, which is about 186,000 miles per second. Today's spacecraft cannot go nearly that fast. But in the future ...
... ships, and remote military bases and civil exploration and work camps. An excellent recent example is the chain of Pipeline Camps across Alaska supporting the construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.
Another "enclosed city," already well-studied, is the Naval aircraft carrier, which may house 5000 personnel of both sexes. Modern aircraft carriers have nuclear power plants and are capable ...
... there is no aerodynamic or frictional resistance to motion, the astronaut must anticipate stopping distances and command braking thrusters in plenty of time. Landing the orbiter is the hardest maneuver. Overall, the secret to controlling the orbiter is practice, practice, practice—mainly with simulators.

... be launched from Earth. The limiting factor usually is the lift capability of the booster—in the case of the NASA Space Shuttle, the two solid rocket boosters plus the three main engines. The NASA Space Shuttle weighs about 4.5 million pounds at lift off, and the ...
... is measured in joules. One joule is equal to one Watt for one second. Imagine a one Watt light bulb being lit for one second. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion and is also measured in joules, equal to half the mass multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, one joule is the energy in a two kilogram ...

Now several universities offer courses in exobiology, which is the study of extreme life forms. And ... live by eating rocks?

... either the Moon or Mars rovers. It is an important fact that the farther away a robot has to travel, the lighter it should be. The lighter something is, the cheaper it is to send into space. The smallest is the American rover Sojourner, launched to Mars in 1997. It weighed only 23 pounds.
