Real space food vs fake space food
Let me take you on an epic journey to the heart of the galaxy. Oh, no wait, that’s uh, that’s just an ice cream sammich. A space ice cream sandwich. I mean, look at...

Let’s talk about space food. In the early days of space exploration, food was mostly squeezed out of tubes and brought up in dehydrated packets. But today we can have quite a variety of...
MARSHA is our proposal for a Martian surface habitat. It’s born of a careful response to the Martian environment and a synergy between structural, architectural and construction principles with human experience at the center....
Right now, you’re looking at renderings of human settlements on Mars. These designs were part of NASA’s 3D Printed Habitat Challenge, a 4-year long competition aimed at engineering homes for another planet. The brightest...

This spacesuit, built in 1974, was reported to cost between $15 million and $22 million. Today, that would be about $150 million. Having not delivered any new mission-ready extravehicular suits since then, NASA is...
This is no ordinary rocket engine. Limited by the technology of their times engineers and physicists have theorized this propulsion method for centuries, but the constraints of time may have just lifted with NASA’s...
[MUSIC PLAYING] Artificial gravity, it’s an essential plot element in most science fiction stories. But do any of those stories actually get artificial gravity right? [MUSIC PLAYING] Whether you realize it or not, artificial...

Consider how you dress when you go outside on a frigid winter day. You have got your shirt, pants, sweater, possibly long underwear, jacket, gloves, helmet or hood, scarf, and boots on. You dressed...
Mars. I always wonder what it would be like to live there And to build there. What would it feel like to look out the window and see an alien landscape millions and millions...
Gravity. It’s what keeps us held to the surface of the Earth and provides a sense of up and down. When we venture into space and orbit the Earth, or some other world, the...
Hi, it’s me, Tim Dodd. The Everyday Astronaut. Rocket engines are incredibly complex machines pushing the boundaries of material science and human ingenuity. And there’s a wide range of ways. You can actually power...
Have you heard about this? Four volunteers will suspend soon spend an entire year inside a small habitat at Johnson Space Center in Houston. It is all part of a program to better prepare...
The term rocket science is often used to describe a concept that is quite difficult to understand but in this video we are going to explain The technology behind rockets and rocket engines in...
Welcome to orbital dynamics. This is a multi-part course on the basics of orbital dynamics. The orbital dynamics or orbital mechanics textbooks assume familiarity with calculus and all the algebra and trig that goes...
