Outpost Gamma, Escape Route Number 68
December 15, 2035 Escape Route Number 67 in T minus 20 minutes. Escape route number 68 in 428 hours. “Thanks, Clysta,” I mutter to our onboard AI. She woke me out of a dream. I was back on Earth, a child laying between the rows of tomato plants, Mom’s big rubber boots on my little feet.

The Magellanic Clouds
The night sky in the Southern Hemisphere is very different from that in the North. One feature (more properly two) is the patches of fuzziness, easily visible to the naked eye, known as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.

How Much Does Is Cost To Go In Space
Others define space as the so-called Karman line, the universally accepted boundary between earth and outer space, about 100 kilometers above our planet's surface. Virgin Galactics'Unity spacecraft aims to become the world's first commercial spacecraft by offering regular flights from Spaceport America in southern New Mexico. For a $1,000 deposit, you can retire after three successful space flights and have the technology to live aboard Unity. Virgin Galactic is Virgin Atlantic's space arm, along with Virgin Atlantic and AD Astra.

Our Galaxy- Milky Way Galaxy
Our Milky Way galaxy is about 100,000 light-years across, a spacecraft (called a nucleus bulge) consisting of a nucleus (a wide, flat disk) and a distinctive alarm clock surrounded by a star halo. Most galaxies are flat, but some have different types of air, equal or irregular. Some galaxies contain millions or even billions of stars, and these galaxies are grouped together with gravitational pull.

With Whom Is Jeff Bezos Travelling To Space?
Passengers who want to fly in the New Shepard capsule must sign a form to waiver their rights to sue the space company he founded ten years ago in the event of an accident. Branson is demanding similar steps from Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc (SPCE: 088) (SPCE: 088), which plans to send paying passengers next year on its space plane. In 2004, the Congress agreed to allow the space tourism industry to speed up its preparations for passenger flights.

This Is How Aliens Might Search For Human Life
Scientists in search of alien life have limited their hunt to stars and planetary systems that cast occasional glances at Earth as it passes before the sun. Seven of the 2043 known host planets and many more are likely to orbit worlds that could be suitable for life. As a result of this study, astronomers looking for extraterrestrial life are now focusing on stars, planetary systems, and views of Earth, rather than what to expect from Earth.

Germany : Militarizing Space Exploration
Well, the writing is on the wall. If you’re not a troglodyte and haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, you should already know that several countries, as well as privately owned companies, are now stepping up efforts to explore and colonize space.

A Thought Experiment for our World
If we can imagine ourselves in this world that we live in as being advanced to a point of having the ability to travel through space and visit other planets, and solar systems this is what I believe will be the next question for Humanity. Can we find a planet that is inhabited with intelligent beings, perhaps similar to Humans, that does not fall into 1 of 2 categories?

The Locket of Love
Knock, Knock! The sound of knuckles against a pine door echoed lightly through the front of the house perched on the way up to the mountaintop. Blonde hair, blue eyed 7 year old Anora popped her head up from playing with her matchbox cars, dropping to the floor, the toy she held in her hand and hopped up to go find daddy excitedly. Her mom was coming to pick her up and it was time to talk about something important her mommy had mentioned last time they were together. Mom was funny and she laughed loudly. She loved reading books and said it made her eyes get wet a lot. As daddy opened the door, she hugged mommy tightly around her bouncy belly. Anora said goodbye to daddy just as his girlfriend was driving up in a blue Tesla. Anora opened her mouth and her hand came to her pandemic required facemask in adorable surprise as the Night Rider song always caught her off guard. She waved to Jessica as her and mommy got in the car to head out. Mommy’s face always made a squinty look when she saw Jessica.

The Things I do Have
“SMACK” My cheek hit the concrete, and I could feel the small rocks in my palms as I tried to lift myself from the pavement.

Heart Shaped Locket
I inherited nothing from all my family gone, but this beat up and half-broken heart shaped locket. Not surprising, because I hadn’t counted on anything from them. They cast me out when I was young, at 12 going on 13. Fortunate for me there were plenty of gigs for someone with such a small frame, working along the docks then. It was a gamble to keep my limbs and fingers, but I was quick enough to get through on a dime or two until a hover ship cast me aboard and I got out of this depraved pit, which no one fondly refers to as Megalopoly.

Project Sol
I shuddered awake. Not from a dream, though I wish it were one. The air was chill against my skin even under all these quilts. It was like icicles forming in my lungs. Little shards speckling my dark curled eyelashes. Through the window only meager sunlight filtered in; weak as if straining to warm the earth. The twinkle of a once radiant smile, now blurred by frost. The glass...its like a slowly shattering prism. The crackle of my fireplace alerted me to the dwindling of the last embers of life sustaining flames.
