Cool.
The first woman to be in charge of NASA's human spaceflight program will oversee the first mission to land a woman on the moon, and she's expecting "really big things" to come from the next generation of young, female space enthusiasts.
Kathy Lueders, who until now led NASA's Commercial Crew Program, will take the helm of all crewed spaceflight activities at NASA as the associate administrator for the agency's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate.Last edited by Kepler; 06-20-2020, 10:48 PM.Cornell University

Examine some chicken entrails, we've got a new comet.
Draw an arc from Capella to Castor; tomorrow morning (around 4 a.m.) it will be dead center.

To pinpoint where the very slight air leak is coming from on ISS, NASA will have the crew stay in the Russian module (close to the Soyuz escape capsule), and seal up the other modules to see which one is losing air pressure.
This is the same leak that was discovered, and subsequently ignored because it's so small, last September. They're just now able to isolate the crew for the weekend.

I would absolutely love to hear GFMorris' take on this.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

They tried that with Mir. Got it submerged in water, but by then it had LOTS of air leaks.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
Don't think they want to try that again yet...“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Also, launching that far North is much more difficult. The closer to the equator, the easier it is to get into space. The reason for such a northerly launch site is because this would be best to put what you're launching into polar orbit. But, it's going to take a LOT more thrust to do it.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Is this because a point on the surface is moving faster so you are stealing more momentum from the Earth?Originally posted by aparch View Post

Maybe, maybe, maybe 2020 will go down in deep history as the greatest year of all.
High in the toxic atmosphere of the planet Venus, astronomers on Earth have discovered signs of what might be life.
If the discovery is confirmed by additional telescope observations and future space missions, it could turn the gaze of scientists toward one of the brightest objects in the night sky. Venus, named after the Roman goddess of beauty, roasts at temperatures of hundreds of degrees and is cloaked by clouds that contain droplets of corrosive sulfuric acid. Few have focused on the rocky planet as a habitat for something living.
...
The astronomers, who reported the finding on Monday in a pair of papers, have not collected specimens of Venusian microbes, nor have they snapped any pictures of them. But with powerful telescopes, they have detected a chemical — phosphine — in the thick Venus atmosphere. After much analysis, the scientists assert that something now alive is the only explanation for the chemical’s source.Cornell University
