... away the light from them has not had time to reach us yet There are many things about the Universe that we still do not understand, and its shape is one of them. It is even possible that there is no 'edge of space' like we think of it ...
... interstellar navigation theory is presented according to which a spaceship could travel to the farthest stars within a human lifetime. Assuming hyperspace as being characterized by imaginary time, it is shown that the limitations due to the extremely long time required for interstellar travel as is ...
... to the Moon, it would take you about three to four days to reach it, and then you would want to spend some time there before your return. If you were going to Mars, it would take up to eight months to arrive there. Right now NASA is ...
... as light as possible. Payload carried to orbit is less than one percent of the vehicle. Every component must be carefully analyzed to make sure it is strong enough to function safely, yet as light as possible. Thousands of components designed by different people, possibly ...
With the discovery in the last ten years of more than 150 planets outside our solar system, people are truly beginning to think that life out there is possible—although the idea still leaves some people snickering. Now several universities offer courses in exobiology, which is the study of extreme life forms ...
It starts at 0.0 miles per hour (mph) and goes faster and faster. By the time it reaches space it is traveling at least 17,000 mph. We don't have to go a specific speed to leave the atmosphere, but we have to be traveling at a minimum of 17,000 mph in order to stay in space and not crash to the Earth.

... minutes for the Space Shuttle to reach a low Earth orbit. How long an orbit takes depends on how high above the Earth the orbit is. For low Earth orbit (about 200 miles above the Earth) it takes about 90 minutes to ...
... the future, visits to a distant base would be decided, among other things, by the number of vehicles available, the capacity for carrying supplies, the time it takes to get there and the demand for transportation. If it is a popular destination, such as above the rings of Saturn, there ...
... bad weather. The spaceport site is at an elevation of about 4,700 feet, which means spacecraft will need less fuel to reach space, compared to launch sites at sea level. As the fifth largest ... land and sky.
The site of the new spaceport is about 30 miles east of the town of Truth or Consequences. It contains hangars, runways, rockets and spaceplanes carrying people to the final frontier.
