Putting together applications for PhD programs is a nightmare but also kinda exhilarating tbh.

This program has been called vaporware for the longest time, but it's shaping up more and more like it's actually gonna fly.

https://twitter.com/VP/status/1167164310612840451?s=19 It looks like this is getting some bipartisan support, it might actually happen in this case. Regardless of who wins in 2020 I think it would be hard to cancel this program if the first SLS flies in 2020 or is close to flying status by...

Are there any reusable launchers being proposed other than SpaceX's ITS? I know they're also considering landing the F9 second stage but AFAIK that's still a long shot.

He was the last of the Mercury 7. The dawn of the space age is slipping further and further into recent memory.

Meanwhile, at Mars One HQ

This isn't too far from reality. They had a nostalgia 80s cafe, and right here in my town there's an 80s themed pizza shop. If the Cubs win game 4 tonight they might go to the World Series. Donald Trump is basically Biff (I won't get too into Basement territory). Hoverboards have been invented...

I recently got into Vaporwave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea_UOPzuyZU This is the first time I've liked a genre yet also felt a tad too old for it.

I saw this thursday night. I'm not always one for comparisons, but IMHO it blew Interstellar out of the water. The casting was spot on, it's definitely what sticks out the most in my memory. Some of the science stuff (i.e. silence in space) had to be changed for the sake of the movie, but that...

Remember what happened last time Matt Damon went to space... :shifty:

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and The Case for Mars by Robert Zubrin

Mars One just released a photo of their spacecraft.

My Modern Physics professor comes up with some... interesting setups for problems to say the least. Suppose that a cat named Carl of a special breed (felis einsteinus) lives for exactly 9 years according to his own body clock. When Carl is born he is put aboard a spaceship (with his family, of...

I have a question directed towards the programming and computer science oriented users of the forum. This semester, as a requirement for my Physics degree, I am taking a course of Unix and C. I've found this to be more difficult than I expected. I can understand most concepts and what they do...

Just saw this last night, and here's my 2 cents. I overall thought it was a great movie. Instead of classic time travel, I really enjoyed the use of time dilation as a plot device. Not only that, they kinda sorta tried with the science and technology. The story line was pretty well developed...

Recently I wrote to Dr. Piers Sellers asking about career advice, today I received a very pleasant surprise in the mail. "Dear Dan, Do what you love first and foremost. If you're lucky (I was) and the opportunities are there, you could well end up being an astronaut. Buf if not, you will...

One of my favorite space songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql4kaofJ02c

I feel like at this point, Voyage should just be required reading for O-F members.

And we have a precedent for it, Sally Ride was lesbian but this wasn't known publicly until after her death. My two cents is that having people with potential to be attracted to one another in space isn't that big of a risk. I've survived being single long enough, plus those with relationships...
