... some economic sense, would need to find an `ecological niche' relative to very large terrestrial arrays and smaller but very quiet observatories such as those proposed for the lunar far-side. The power satellite/telescope would depend upon interferrometry like the square kilometer array to counteract radio ...

... edge of the Universe, then that's a very different question, but the short answer would be that the journey would take a very, very long time—a far longer time than there ...

The Earth will last as a chunk of rock for a very long time. It is already 4,600 million years old. Astronomers who study the Universe tell ... further out. How would you like to live on Mars? The Earth does have other long term threats, too, such as an eventual asteroid impact, or major volcanic eruptions, or nuclear ... good idea to develop space travel—we all may need it someday, in the very distant future Meanwhile, while we live here on Earth, we need to look after our ...

... compute the minimum-time transfer between two orbits, including the phasing with a desired spacecraft. Very-low thrust means several hundred revolutions to perform the large change in orbital elements. The ... combined with a direct method for the secular trajectory avoids the numerical instability arising in very long propagations, decreases the computational time, reduces the sensitivity to the initial guess and provides a ...

With current technology it would take a very long time to reach the nearest galaxy. Andromeda is two million light years away, which means ...

... Station stops. There are some rocket motors, called ion engines, which accelerate very, very slowly (but constantly) and take a long time to get there, measured in weeks and months. This option is ...

Being in space means being with a very small group of people in a very small space station or ship—about the size of a two-bedroom home. Exploratory ... tired of them and to want to see others. The teams will need to be very good at getting along with people in these conditions in order to stay friends and ...

Remember that objects in space can be very cold or very hot depending on whether they are in sunlight or darkness. Also, the farther away from ... the people inside.
