NASA's Accidental Warp Bubble

  3 days ago, NASA may have accidentally created a warp bubble. If you don't know what a warp bubble is, it is essentially the expanding and contracting of space which allows objects to move faster than light speed. NASA was firing a laser into the resonance chamber of their EM Drive when the lasers appeared to be moving faster than the speed of light. If this is true, it would mean that modifying the EM Drive would create a Faster-Than-Light engine which would allow us to easily travel to Mars and beyond our Solar System!

   If you have read all of my articles, then you realize that I talk a lot about space and future technology. It really is exciting to know that it is possible to move beyond our star system without travelling for hundreds or thousands of years. We could be meeting alien people in this century! Exploration and curiosity are both natural traits of humans beings; it is very comforting to know that we can put those traits to good use.

First Reusable Rocket Landing Test... So Close!

   Two days ago, the private space flight company SpaceX launched the rocket Dragon. This was a rocket which was launched on a test route to the ISS and back to earth, successfully landing on a drone ship. Unfortunately, the rocket was going too fast so it toppled over and exploded. SpaceX is scheduled to launch the Falcon 9 rocket on June 22nd and we will then see if a rocket can successfully land back on earth.

     This is great news for anyone involved in space flight. I think that this will be a great opportunity to increase the frequency of launches since the rockets will be recovered and reusable. Maybe someday, we could actually reach out past our Solar System and travel into Interstellar Space. I'm looking forward to a day when exploration is our main focus, not defensive tactics or politics.

"Life" Found in Deep Space

    A couple of hours ago, on April 8th for any of you reading on a different day, astronomers found complex organic molecules around a young star called MWC 480. If you don't know what this means, the astronomers basically found origins of life that could explain the beginning of our existence. They found carbon-based molecules too,  which means that the life forms would develop into something biologically similar to animals on Earth (although evolution would allow them to adapt to their environment so their features would be determined by the nature of their planet).

       This discovery is truly amazing and could mark the beginning of new scientific research in biology and many other fields. It's wonderful to know that there is a possibility that we share this universe with species from different planets. Maybe someday we'll be out searching the stars for people who are willing to be our friends. But in the meantime, small discoveries like this keep me hopeful and optimistic about the future of exploration and space travel!
