2021-03-13 23:57:30 We may need fewer haircuts in space

Space environment weakens muscles and bones, impairs the immune system, and changes the way our genes get expressed. But that's not all! According to some studies, spaceflight also favors the genes that inhibit hair growth.

Still, astronauts sometimes do need haircuts on the ISS.

To have a haircut in microgravity, astronauts use a set of clippers attached to a vacuum device that sucks up trimmed hairs so they don't fly all over the space station.

“In the spirit of the Asgardian idea, at first glimpse, Perseverance does not help much in moving forward in space. Just another rover, it would seem, quite similar to Curiosity. However, this is only at first glance, because we should bear in mind the four main missions of the new rover."

2021-03-03 17:17:02 A piece of wisdom from one of the Fathers of Rocketry. A teacher, an inventor, a physicist, and an aviation engineer, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky had grand ideas about space exploration.
Did you know, that at age ten he nearly became deaf from scarlet fever and had to quit school? However, Tsiolkovsky continued his education on his own at home until the family recognized his thirst for knowledge and sent him to attend college.
It is Tsiolkovsky who first determined that the escape velocity from the Earth into orbit was 8 km/second and could be achieved by using a multi-stage rocket fueled by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen.
He designed the constructions of space rockets and came up with ideas for steerable rocket engines, multi-stage boosters, space stations, airlocks for exiting a spaceship into the vacuum of space, and closed-cycle biological systems to provide food and oxygen for space colonies.
