AdIt used to be -- in the U.S.-- NASA was the only way to fund and send a robotic mission to another world, but not anymore. The company wants to send the first robotic mission to Venus in 2023. (Image credit: Rocket Lab) (Rocket Lab)Meanwhile, NASA is considering funding its own missions to the planet considered Earthโ€™s twin. Currently there are two Venus missions under consideration and two more equally fascinating missions, one designed to study Jupiterโ€™s moon Io and another to Neptuneโ€™s moon Triton.

In a recent episode of the podcast โ€œSpace Curious,โ€ planetary scientists helped us understand why this is. They also explained how we know where asteroids are, and why weโ€™re not all going to get squashed by one anytime soon. โ€œThe main reason we go to Bennu is because it is the most potentially hazardous asteroid,โ€ Campins said. โ€œItโ€™s a primitive asteroid,โ€ Campins said. Campins said when someone reads about an asteroid headed for Earth, itโ€™s a good idea to do some fact checking.

Have you ever watched a rocket launch? Speck was featured in a recent episode of โ€œThe Best Advice Show,โ€ and spoke about some of the best ways to take in this cool experience. โ€œWatching a launch with a child, especially with one who has never seen a launch before, is the best experience,โ€ Speck said.

A composite image of Starlink satellite trails across an image of Comet NEOWise taken in Central Florida by astronomer Derek Demeter in July 2020. (Derek Demeter)Our view of the night sky has been changing ever since the light bulb was invented. โ€œWhen I look up at the night sky, Iโ€™m reminded of the thousands of years of history that people have been inspired -- a lot of our traditions today stem from ancient people looking up at the night sky and feeling awe and wonder,โ€ he said. AdIn August, the members of an American Astronomical Society committee -- who have been working with SpaceX engineers-- released their findings about how to mitigate trashing the night sky and what the long-standing impact of these large constellations will be. Lori Allen, also an astronomer with the NOIRLab, said the astronomy working group observed Starlink satellites to determine if changes to the satellite hardware will work, what observatories can do.

And so whilst we say โ€™space debris,โ€™ itโ€™s not like thereโ€™s hundreds and hundreds of objects all crammed together or creating a huge problem. Space is big, and the separations between these pieces of space debris are quite large.โ€AdBatcheldor said most space debris, or space junk, is tracked and right now not posing a danger to any new missions. This is the area most concentrated with space debris, according to NASAโ€™s Orbital Debris Program Office. His research area of focus is on robotics in space, including satellite repair in space and removal of space debris. Hosted by space reporter Emilee Speck, each episode is designed to inspire everyone, from the space curious to the space fanatics.

That means most college students today have never known a day without an astronaut orbiting above them on the International Space Station. The International Space Station, or ISS, is just shy of the same length as an American football field and the largest spacecraft ever built. โ€œI felt as an International Space Station, we needed to enter as an international crew.โ€AdCabana and Krikalev went into the ISS at the same time. โ€œSergei and I enter side by side, so there was no first person to enter the International Space Station,โ€ Cabana said. Hosted by space reporter Emilee Speck, each episode is designed to inspire everyone, from the space curious to the space fanatics.

Read full article: On this 50th anniversary for the USPS, mail a letter to a friend

Fifty years ago, the former Post Office Department changed over and became the United States Postal Service. Postal Service, as we know it now, has only been around since 1970? Energized by the Civil Rights Movement, postal workers in New York went on strike, and the movement eventually swelled across the country. Previously, letters were taken to a Post Office, where employees would note the postage due (or paid) in the upper right corner. Postal Service stands financially, perhaps we do have to consider, what if the mail goes away someday?
