(Natural News) On Sept. 22, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and United States Space Force (USSF) signed a memorandum of understanding that reaffirmed the “rich legacy of collaboration” between the two agencies on space-related matters. The signing followed President Donald Trump’s efforts to intensify the country’s space exploration efforts. Signed by USSF Chief of Space Operations Gen. […]

(Natural News) The key to successfully terraforming the Red Planet may lie in some terrestrial microbes. According to microbiologist Jose Lopez and his colleagues W. Raquel Peixoto and Alexandre Rosado, microbes from Earth may be able to jumpstart the creation of a habitable environment on Mars, the same way early microbes kickstarted the creation of […]

(Natural News) Scientists from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are investigating alien oceans in three moons in the outer solar system in search of the origin of life on Earth. The moons in question – Jupiter’s Europa, Saturn’s Enceladus and Neptune’s Triton – are different from the rest of the more than 200 moons in the solar […]

(Natural News) A new study from the University of Nottingham has suggested that there are around 36 intelligent alien civilizations in the galaxy, and that these alien races are capable of communicating with each other. But while these beings may be able to communicate with each other, the team says that humans may not be able to with […]

(Natural News) When Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins returned to Earth after their manned mission to the moon, the triumphant astronauts were put into a 21-day period of isolation. Per NASA safety protocols, this was to make sure that the Earth’s first visitors to the moon wouldn’t spread any potentially hazardous lunar microbes. […]

(Natural News) One of the most common tropes in science fiction involves the use of black holes as portals to other dimensions or points in time. A recent study suggests that such a scenario may be closer to reality than it is to fantasy. While scientists have predominantly believed that using black holes – a region of […]

(Natural News) If you have mold in your house, you’re not alone, because even the International Space Station (ISS) has it. The astronauts on the ISS spend hours every week cleaning up the station’s walls to make sure the mold situation doesn’t turn into a full-blown health problem. But that’s not all, because new research suggests […]

(Natural News) The International Space Station (ISS) is now open for business, as NASA has announced a plan to allow tourists to visit ISS starting in 2020. Per year, two private astronaut missions will be allowed to board the ISS for a 30-day trip. This will be very expensive, considering all of the life support systems […]

(Natural News) Space travel is rough on the health of astronauts. Among the many health problems they experience, a new study has warned that astronauts also face the risk of cartilage loss, which might eventually develop into osteoarthritis. Researchers from Henry Ford Hospital (Henry Ford) evaluated the cartilage of mice that rode aboard a Russian spacecraft. They believed that […]

(Natural News) Bacteria and viruses are not the only tiny hitchhikers during outer space that might endanger the health of astronauts. Recently, Belgian researchers brought up concerns about microscopic fungi living aboard space stations and spacecraft, especially the upcoming missions to the moon and Mars. Experts know very little about the potential pathogenic properties of […]
