Russian space agency Roscosmos says it has signed an agreement with China's National Space Administration to develop research facilities on the surface of the moon, in orbit or both. A statement from both countries' space agencies says it will be available for use by other nations. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-56342311

A warp drive that doesn't break the laws of physics is possible. Warp drives may be on the road to reality. Previous ideas about how to make these hypothetical devices have required exotic forms of matter and energy that may not exist, but a new idea for a warp drive that doesn’t break the laws of physics may be theoretically possible. However, it may not be practical in the foreseeable future because it requires ultra dense materials. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2269544-a-warp-drive-that-doesnt-break-the-laws-of-physics-is-possible/?fbclid=IwAR15qDZ5rYbCVOgv2c1SIcAOMEs3DUZXMnSj2qS7SB3yJ-zPOSEccL5lA4I https://interestingengineering.com/warp-drive-not-science-fiction-faster-than-light-travel?fbclid=IwAR2Jh1fa8qdMD8cBct3LyrxngX557NaBL0Oa9tvWsR8bamfnJLDWu7QR3kk

For The First Time, Organic Matter Crucial For Life Has Been Found on an Asteroid's Surface. Follow the twisted limbs of your family tree all the way back to its primordial origins billions of years in the past and you'll find that we all originated from dust rich in organic chemistry. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-84517-x#Sec9 https://www.sciencealert.com/a-single-grain-of-asteroid-dust-hints-at-an-exciting-story-of-life-s-origins-in-space?fbclid=IwAR1iQYI9FLRuPwT-UCn7JWCY_i1748XEo35vJXSORyI-VLaSD9dTtiyyjRc https://futurezone.at/science/forscher-entdecken-organische-substanz-auf-asteroiden/401208664?&-notification&-1614937860 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-84517-x.pdf

Pioneers 10 and 11, which preceded Voyager, both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future. With this example before them, NASA placed a more ambitious message aboard Voyager 1 and 2, a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record, a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. he records were designed to last, meant to survive perhaps a billion years in space: beneath the golden sheen is a protective aluminum casing and, below that, the engraved copper disks themselves. But to truly understand how long these objects may survive, you have to know what conditions they'll experience, and that means knowing where they will be. https://www.space.com/predicting-voyager-golden-records-distant-future?&&&+& https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/golden-record/#:~:text=The%20Voyager%20message%20is%20carried,time%20capsule'%20along%20with%20them.

This animation shows the distance between the Apophis asteroid and Earth at the time of the asteroid’s closest approach. The blue dots are the many man-made satellites that orbit our planet, and the pink represents the International Space Station. On March 5, wave hello to the most infamous asteroid that won't slam into Earth in 2029. Scientists sure will. https://www.space.com/asteroid-apophis-march-2021-flyby-science-preparations

NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover safely touched down on the Red Planet on Feb. 18. So what will the robotic scientist "see" on her descent and what will she do next? Join mission experts for update about the rover – the biggest, heaviest, cleanest, and most sophisticated six-wheeled robot ever launched into space – including imagery it captured and its mission to explore Mars.

February 18, 2021 This is the first image NASA’s Perseverance rover sent back after touching down on Mars on Feb. 18, 2021. The view, from one of Perseverance’s Hazard Cameras, is partially obscured by a dust cover. https://mars.nasa.gov/resources/25596/perseverance-rovers-first-image-from-mars/

Die zunehmende Urbanisierung führt zu einem steigenden Bedarf an frischen und vor allem konstant verfügbaren pflanzlichen Agrarprodukten. Idealerweise würde eine räumlich nahe, wetterunabhängige, ressourcenschonende, pestizidfreie und automatisierte Produktion nachhaltig zur Versorgungssicherheit und Produktqualität beitragen. In dem Projekt OrbiPlant® wurde ein neuartiges Pflanzenanzuchtsystem entwickelt, welches im Vergleich zu bestehenden Systemen alle wichtigen Anforderungen an eine kosteneffiziente, nachhaltige und automatisierte Pflanzenanzucht erfüllt. https://www.dlg.org/de/landwirtschaft/veranstaltungen/urban-farming/fraunhofer

Joel Holt, with the help of Roxanne Meadows and Nate Dinwiddie’s archiving, created a video “Reflections on the Life & Work of Jacque Fresco”. The video presents snippets from Jacque's life, events, and appearances throughout his prolific and active life. A Resource Based Economy as proposed by Jacque inspires us towards a more equitable future. The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world.
