Shanedorf Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 pretty amazing feat, from 200 million miles away "Upon initial contact, the TAGSAM head appears to crush some of the porous rocks underneath it," astronomer and OSIRIS-REx scientist Brittany Enos of the University of Arizona wrote in a NASA post. "One second later, the spacecraft fires a nitrogen gas bottle, which mobilises a substantial amount of the sample site's material. Preliminary data show the spacecraft spent approximately 5 of the 6 seconds of contact collecting surface material, and the majority of sample collection occurred within the first 3 seconds. TAGSAM is designed to collect material by stirring up material, then catching it. The team is hoping for at least 60 grams (2.1 ounces) of asteroid regolith, but we won't know for a few days exactly how much material OSIRIS-REx managed to snare." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nasa-moon-sunlight-water-sofia-artemis-162600047.html “Today, we are announcing the important discovery by SOFIA, that the previously detected hydrogen on the sunlit surface is located in water molecules,” Paul Hertz, director of the Astrophysics Division in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA, said during a press conference. “This discovery raises new questions about how water is created on the surface of the moon, and how it can persist in the harsh airless sunlight conditions of the lunar surface.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I wonder how long until Coca Cola makes a deal with NASA to start selling bottled moon water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'd think the water on the moon came from someplace else ? Can one of you larger-brained individuals illuminate me ? If a meteor crashed into Earth - causing a cataclysmic explosion...wouldn't some of the water vapor from Earth get blown out of the atmosphere and be picked up by the moon as it revolves around our planet ? Sort of a lunar vacuum cleaner type deal ? Can water vapor "survive" in space ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugboat Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 One fun thing about space, is... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8897601/Elon-Musks-SpaceX-says-not-recognize-Earth-laws-planned-Mars-colony.html https://nypost.com/2020/10/30/elon-musks-spacex-colony-on-mars-wont-follow-earth-based-laws/ If Elon actually makes it to Mars with his colony...he will no longer recognize "Earth Laws". So that's a terrifying future, all wrapped up in a megalomaniac's delusions, and publicized for print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BayRaider Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 I guess James Webb has made the Big Bang Theory a little more complicated, although still the gold standard for now. There are galaxies that are way too perfectly formed closer to the Big Bang than they thought. Obviously there is clickbait stuff “Big Bang is wrong!” when that’s not the truth, it’s just more puzzle pieces they need to figure out. James Webb is going to make a ton of interesting discoveries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The author of the article, an independent researcher named Eric Lerner, has been a serial denier of the Big Bang since the late 1980s, preferring his personal pseudoscientific alternative." "The irony is that JWST's observations are actually supporting the Big Bang model, showing that the first galaxies were smaller and grew larger over time, just as Big Bang cosmology predicts.

BullsandBroncos Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Company that I work with, not for, wants to do business with us, and their main mission is 3D printing houses on the moon and mars. Using moon dust for concrete and whatever dusts is on mars for concrete. more money than brains?
