By now you’ve probably seen my solar panel experiments and how I built my own solar generator for an IoT prototype for Boston. As cool as solar power is, even the best solar array is dormant about half the time as the rotation of the earth gets into the way. But, what if you could […]

56 Miles (90 km) Above Earth – Successful Amateur Rocket Launch
This rocket is called MESOS (short for mesosphere) because it is designed to fly there. The mesosphere is the third layer of Earth’s atmosphere situated between 31 and 53 miles (50-85 km) above the surface. The amazing part about this rocket is it reached this altitude on less than 41,000 N-s of total impulse (full […]

All the engineering behind the Endeavour Shuttle’s 26th and final mission. Endeavour’s 26th mission was a lot slower and a lot shorter than the previous 25, but it was still full of fascinating engineering challenges. This October marks the 10-year anniversary of the nearly 3-day trip, so let’s reminisce on this incredible feat and dive […]

New Supercomputer Simulation Sheds Light on Moon’s Origin
A new NASA and Durham University simulation puts forth a different theory of the Moon’s origin – the Moon may have formed in a matter of hours, when material from the Earth and a Mars sized-body were launched directly into orbit after the impact. The simulations used in this research are some of the most […]

A YouTuber builds a working ionic thruster. Why? I have two answers. One, why not? and Secondly, for Beltalowda! In my attempt to answer that – I built a next-gen ionic thruster, and only shocked myself about a dozen times in the process. Thank you to Steven Barret at MIT for providing his airplane footage, […]

Space for all: Not your father’s astronauts!
So far, only around 600 people have been to space, which is shocking given that there are around 7 or 8 billion of people in existence. Is that about to change? What changes will it bring to humanity? Beltalowda!

The Full Plan For Artemis Part 1: The Robotic Missions
Artemis is NASA’s plan to return to the moon, and this time to stay. That’s something you probably already know. But there’s a lot more to it than picking a lander. This video is the first of 3 videos to explore the full plan for Artemis, starting with the uncrewed and robotic missions that will […]
