Now that we’ve gotten the robots to achieve the rough set up for a lunar foothold, and a crewed mission or two to really fine-tune everything, it would then be time for building a home.

Outbound Operational Plan for Space Migration: Human Lunar – SortieS
After the Lunar Automated missions have scoured landing sites for data and validating the local stability, and the Asteroid missions have built some operational confidence in the ability to travel Beyond Earth Orbit (BEO) and

So far, I’ve been charting a programmatic course that has taken Outbound to the moon with robotic surveys and construction demonstrations. Now it’s time to flex some operational muscle and go for stretch goals. In

I would like to point out that some of the Outbound operational plan I’m walking through has been more or less followed by the Earth’s space agencies already. Probably, you’d gather that I don’t have
Read moreOutbound Operational Plan for Space Migration: Human Orbital Flight
Certainly, we just talked about suborbital flight in light of Yuri Gagarin’s achievement in the orbital realm, which I think was a mistake on Russia’s part at the time. Certainly, it was a huge geopolitical
Read moreOutbound Operational Plan for Space Migration: Human Suborbital
As KönigKosmos, I would say the next step of an initial operational plan for Outbound would be the development of Human Suborbital Flight. (OPS.4) Of course, this is another area where we have already explored

I’ve often asked myself what I’d do if I were king of the cosmos and controlled how humanity migrated into space. You know what? In the tradition of Albert Einstein and “thought experiments”, I’m going

I just figured out something about myself, courtesy of this post by Aesop at the Raconteur Report: Happy Peak of Western Civilization Day I’m not going to expound endlessly on this, as Aesop says it

Well, I downloaded their app for their perception of astronaut training, as a beta tester. I appreciate their intent with trying to combine entertainment, education, and social interaction, but as with most beta releases, there’s

There is interesting news afoot in particle physics. It seems that some researchers from the University of Rochester have created quasi-particles known as polaritons at room temperature, and these little beauties exhibit behavior of objects
