“These solar cells would have lower efficiencies compared to devices currently used on Earth,” Freundlich is quoted as saying. “But by using such a large surface area, we could eventually generate enough electricity to supply a lunar base, support lunar manufacturing or colonies.”

This week’s host for Fraser Crain’s “Carnival of Space” is Crowlspace with a very large group of submissions. Check it out, as there is a nice variety of space and science blend to choose from!!
Welcome to the Carnival of Space, brought to you this week by Crowlspace and the never-tiring efforts of Fraser Cain and [...]
“If we can show that we can burn helium-3, it is a much cleaner and safer energy source than other nuclear fuels,” said Gerald Kulcinski, director of the Fusion Technology Institute at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.***************************************************************
The Earth’s moon is beginning to gather some attention due to our need for much needed energy [...]
“This is the first picture of a clay-sized particle on Mars, and the size agrees with predictions from the colors seen in sunsets on the Red Planet,” said Phoenix co-investigator Urs Staufer of the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland, who leads a Swiss consortium that made the lander’s microscope.

Professor Nalin Chandra Wickramasinghe is considered the world’s leading authority on the “theory of Panspermia” and also known for his contributions toward the “theory of cosmic dust”– stating that life on earth originated in the deepest part of space while traveling on comets and their dust to arrive within our solar system–an individual who was [...]
Before we get started, I would like to personally thank Fraser Cain of Universe Today for allowing me to host the Carnival for the very first time EVER!! I hope I don’t misspell “teh” or something, but don’t count on it. I would also like to thank all the Carnival of Space bloggers for [...]
A top space agency official has informed the press that money problems again at NASA may very well force them to abandon its ambitious internal goal of having a new moon spaceship by 2013. Same ol’ story, different scenario. But he also said that plans are steady to test launch astronauts in the first Orion [...]
Earlier telescopes had difficulty in detecting the Martian storms which covered the barren planet with its bright, oxidized Martian soils. Dust devils whipped apart the soil-covered plains, revealing darker, sub-surface soil—with the Martian winds making the planet much warmer as its own climate change was developing. Not related to our own greenhouse climate changes or driven [...]
“The tests we have done in our test facility during the past few days show the robotic arm can deliver the simulated Martian soil through the opening with the doors in this configuration,” said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, Tucson, lead scientist for TEGA. “We plan to save the cells where doors can [...]
According to astrophysicist Dr. Hugh Ross, “NASA has a shot at discovering life’s remains on Mars.” The scientist notes that, “Just as meteors travel from Mars to Earth so also do they travel from Earth to Mars. Over the past four billion years, at least several billion tons of Earth material, much of it life-carrying [...]
