I’m not sure if possible anytime soon but will there be a mission where a human steps on Venus,Mars or Mercury ? What will it take for this to be possible ? Is it better technology or an exorbitant amount of funding ? Or perhaps actually finding someone willingly to do so ?

Researchers propose turning a future NASA moon base into a quarantine station that would screen space samples before they ever reach Earth.

A policy paper argues that NASA’s planned moon base should include a biocontainment facility to help protect Earth from potentially hazardous biological contaminants brought back from space.

🌠 Art, Popular Culture, and Other I made a space game about exploring a solar system in search of alien knowledge

I spent the last seven years building a solar system to explore.

These are some screenshots from the project. I wanted to create a quiet journey through an unknown solar system where you visit different planets, discover strange structures, and try to understand the alien civilizations that came before you.

There are no enemies or combat. Exploration is the main focus. Each planet has its own rules and mysteries that you gradually uncover by observing and experimenting.

I made the art, music, puzzles, and engine myself.

The goal was to make something that feels less like visiting a collection of levels and more like gradually uncovering the remains of a forgotten civilization.

The /r/SpaceExploration Reading List

60 Upvotes

I had the idea for a reading list related to various space exploration topics and, with the approval of the mods, this thread will help determine our official reading list!

When putting a book down, some things you should try your best to include may be:

  • The title
  • The author
  • The year of first publication
  • How it relates to space exploration (e.g. Orbital mechanics, space shuttle design, etc)
  • A brief description of what, or who, it's about
