Esa selects 1bn-euro Juice probe to Jupiter

The European Space Agency (Esa) is to mount a billion-euro mission to Jupiter and its icy moons.

The probe, called Juice, has just been approved at a meeting of member state delegations in Paris.

It would be built in time for a launch in 2022, although it would be a further eight years before it reached the Jovian system.

By then 51 will be the new 30's thanks to anti-aging therapetics. :prankster:

SpaceX delays ISS launch again


The first attempt by a private company to send a cargo-loaded spacecraft to the International Space Station was delayed again on Wednesday and a new launch date remains uncertain, SpaceX said.

The planned May 7 launch has been postponed while engineers work out software issues, said SpaceX spokeswoman Kirstin Grantham.

:( well I just hope delays were worth it and once they do launch everything goes well. It's a historical event.

As for Juice mission - I'll be 45 by then :/ that means I may not live long enough to see probe that will melt through ice and probe ocean below...

I'll be 37 by the time the probe reaches the jovian satellites.
I make an animated series about time travel and the future of humanity called ExoTemporal Excursion. You'll like it. If you're into that sort of thing. I also draw.

Saturday's 'Supermoon' Won't Destroy Earth

Astronomers call it perigee-syzygy; the rest of us call it "supermoon." Either way, the alignment of the sun and moon will coincide with the moon's closest approach to Earth on Saturday (May 5), resulting in the biggest full moon of the year. But don't worry, it won't break Earth.

Our Growing, Shrinking Moon

We often think of the moon as a geologically dead fixture in our sky. That isn't a bad thing; scientists have long looked at the moon a perfectly preserved slice of our solar system's history.

But new images returned from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) suggest that our natural satellite isn't dead at all. It's actually pretty active having both shrank and grown fairly recently in its history.

Space expert Dr Christopher Riley: We will be living on the moon in 70 years

A leading space expert who has directed and produced a host of critically acclaimed astronomy documentaries has said the average man on the street will be able to move to the moon within the next 70 years, as the commercialisation of spaceflight continues.

An encouraging thought - but with the endless delays to SpaceX's first space station flight, one's faith in the commercial space age feels ever harder to maintain.

A contemporary space expert predicting 70 years into the future, is less qualified than a primary school student who still has all of their imagination intact.

"If you don't want people looking down at you then grow up"

Why Russia and US should shoot for united Mars mission

http://www.msnbc.msn...e/#.T6yUwehYt8E

Russia is ready and willing to partner with the United States for a manned mission to Mars, a senior Russian space official said recently.

And while NASA has not yet entered into any formal agreement to pursue the Red Planet, the agency's chief agrees that international cooperation is the way to do it.

"I have to say that currently there is no country that could organize a manned spaceflight to Marsand a safe return," Sergey Saveliev, the deputy head of Russian Space Agency (Roscosmos), said April 12 at the United Nations headquarters here to mark the International Day of Human Space Flight.

"We strongly believe that this project can be accomplished only through international cooperation," Saveliev said through a translator. "In this field, Russia is ready to cooperate with the United States, with Europe and with other countries."

NASA chief Charles Bolden, who also was on hand at the event, agreed that collaboration is the way to go.
