(Image Credit: NASA) Despite its romantic place in celestial history, Jupiter is one hostile region. Of the four Galilean moons that orbit this Jovian world, only Callisto is is known to be habitable for humans due to the planet’s radiation belts.

Last weeks Carnival of Space was hosted by Emily Lakdawalla upon The Planetary Society, which featured articles ranging from deadly space weather to the first solar flight (from Japan at least) to questions on when humanity will revisit the Moon. Articles of interest from within our star system included: Paul Sutherland of SkyMania...

One of the biggest hurdles preventing humanity from settling the final frontier is micro gravity. While it may be fun to float in the air like jelly fish floats in water, micro gravity can wreck serious damage upon our bodies, turning strong bones into brittle skeletons. Fortunately it looks as if the boys and girls at NASA may have...

Unless you are fortunate enough to live on a water abundant world (like Earth, the red planet, and yes, even the Moon), future space travelers are going to have to recycle every drop of water that exits their body (regardless of origin). Since bacteria have a tendency to thrive in micro gravity, astronauts will need to find a way to...

(Image: Zhai Zhigang waving from outside the Shenzhou 7 spacecraft, Credit: CCTV / Xinhua) Probably seen as America’s biggest space rival, China has recently emerged as a major space power after conducting their first space walk in 2008 (not to mention launching a lunar satellite around the Moon). With future plans of launching a...

Sorry about the lack of posts over the last few weeks. Apparently this site has become a favorite target of human spammers (I guess they were upset after I found a way to block their bots), plus I was busy posting upon other blogs I write for. I have been staying updated on the space front, and while I am not too pleased with...
