The Mayan Calander ends on December 21st 2012, so many believe that the world is going to end on that date. Alot of the theories on how the world could end involve threats coming from outer space, so in the link is an explaination of the Mayan Calender, as well as links to all of the end of the world scenerios, and explainations of each. Pretty cooool. Enjoy!
Hello space enthusiasts, here's ACTUAL VIDEO of the recent Canadian meteorite, captured luckily by a police officer's dashboard cam! This was on APOD (Astronomy Picture of The Day) a few weeks back, around the time when the meteorite hit. Pretty fascinating video, thought I'd share it with everyone.
Among the many fragments being collected from the November 20th meteorite (which scientists think weighed about 10 tons), a head-sized chunk of the meteorite was found, weighing in at 28 pounds!
The Russian Academy of Science, a Japanese university, and beer maker Sapporo have all helped bring to earth "Space Barley," a beer made from barley grown on the International Space Station in 2006. The beer is not for sale (they only made 100 liters) but Sapporo is offering tasting to push the beer. Another good reason to visit Japan!
Dr. Robert Zubrin's newest book, whose full title is "HOW TO LIVE ON MARS: A Trusty Guidebook to Surviving and Thriving on the Red Planet," is currently available for pre-order.
"The book, which is written in a fun, casual style while still retaining scientific accuracy, covers such diverse topics as:
* How to Get to Mars * How to Choose a Hab * How to Choose Your First Ground Rover * How to Stay Alive in the Desert * How to Get Rich * How to Become Famous"
A month or two ago I did a quick Illustration inspired by my feelings, or opinion I should say, about human kind's exploration of Mars. A lot of it came from reading many books by Robert Zubrin, specifically, The Case for Mars, which contains a beautiful quote by Italian Philosopher Giordano Bruno. And so inspired by these great ideas and dreams of someday terraforming Mars and making it our second home, I made a short video, using my Illustration and the beautiful track, "108 the boat", by the amazing Ambassador Etc. Our Space program has been on hold for almost 30 years. Our last steps on the moon were in 1972. As a generation I feel, we should aim for more and achieve almost anything as many aspired to do much strongly decades ago. Anyways I just wanted to share this with you, for I feel it is important for us, our future, and our survival. With our art and visions we could inspire ourselves & other future generations to go beyond anything we could imagine.
Hey guys, As the huge space geek that I am, I can't get enough of anything outer space related. And so in this blog I'd like to post anything related to outer space, space exploration, aliens, etc... From Illustrations, music, film, books, it can be anything. I want to create a place where all i read is this! With that said, I hope to see this blog grow.
