China wants to make the Moon an asteroid defense outpost
China intends to expand its planetary defense program by installing telescopes and satellites on the moon. To monitor asteroids… and perhaps hostile countries.

A new discovery has recently interested Europa, the frozen moon of Jupiter. Apparently, there may be alien life on the surface
The lunar atmosphere will be recreated in a laboratory. The first (small, very small) anti-gravity chamber will be born in China.
A new type of solar cells will make it possible to power the new lunar settlements, also exploiting the materials on site.
A recent discovery has brought to light the presence of oxygen in regolith, the rock that makes up the surface layer of the Moon
NASA will attempt to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to redirect it.
The order has started: after a first revision of the original project, HALO is ready to be structured. It will be the pivot of the Artemis lunar mission.
China and Russia join forces by signing a pact for the construction of a common moon base. Big trouble for NASA?
A French team is testing which fish eggs are best suited for launching on the moon. So far, the European sea bass is among the leaders.
For the first time in 40 years, lunar materials will return to Earth. China's Chang'e 5 lunar mission is ready to take flight.
The data from the Chang'e 4 lunar probe are not comforting. The news from the Moon is clear: it is radioactive. Very radioactive.
An all-metal asteroid, Psyche 16, is the next target of a NASA mission that is entering the final stage of development.
Billions of years ago a planet called Theia hit the Earth and lost a piece. It is a cosmological thesis, and today it takes hold after scientific research.
Earth has a much closer second moon, but you can't go there: it's tiny. It has been around us for 3 years and will soon go away.
For those who still wonder what served to go to the Moon, here are 10 pieces of modern technology born directly from the Apollo mission.
The world awaits new landings on the moon and then on Mars, but I say: remember the asteroids, here are at least 4 good reasons to do it.
Dragonfly will land near Titan's equator, among dunes apparently composed of layers of solid hydrocarbons. It will be powered by plutonium like the Martian rovers, and with its eight rotors it will be able to cover much more distance than any space predecessor.
ESA tests a rescue system for astronauts on a mission. A 'moon stretcher' that drives like a caddy and brings an injured person back to base.
BioSentinel is one of 13 projects planned as part of the Artemis 1 mission scheduled for mid-2020. 47 years after the last launch of living organisms (Apollo 17, which reached the Moon in December 1972).
8 and a half billion euros, collaborations with the West and a detailed plan that has already begun and will be completed in record time: in Beijing they mean business.
There is no longer any controversy surrounding NASA's development of prototypes of an incredible engine that does not require fuel and can take a spacecraft to Mars in just 10 weeks. The reason is very simple: science cannot explain how such an engine can work, even if currently at NASA's Eagleworks Laboratory further tests confirm the production of thrust. There are those who say that the results could be 'spoiled' by... Read more
