Unimaginable "Hacks" in Space which saved the day (pt.1)

Astronauts have a long history of solving problems with equipment and material not designed for the task, but, in space travel, you usually can't get the best tool for a job unless you brought it with you, so improvisation is a necessary part of space exploration. So in today's blog, we will show you, readers, some "Lifehacks" and smart problem-solving skills of the astronauts, which will surely blow your mind... So read it till the end! 1. Astronauts of the first moon mission barely made it back. Turns out, the Apollo missions are full of critical hacks that save the day, or the mission and sometimes, the crew. Apolo 11 had a moment where the crew discovered a circuit breaker cap on the floor of the lunar module after they did their surface EVA. Buzz Aldrin thinks that he probably hit it with the backpack of his EVA suit and he broke off the circuit breaker, which had been popped out after landing, now, that might not sound bad,i mean there was a lot of circuit br...

Nokia - Connecting..... Earth to Moon ?

Nokia has always been nostalgic for the general population, but, after it got defeated by the iPhone in 2007, it has been almost dead, Until now. Nokia is starting a revolution and going to the moon to establish a strong 4g network to boost up the speed and communications between the astronauts   About the mission Nokia has been given a second life by Nasa - in a recent $14.1m contract, awarded to Nokia’s US subsidiary, which is part of Nasa’s Artemis programme which aims to send the first woman, and next man, to the moon by 2024. OK, let's talk about the Artemis mission now.   NASA plans to send the next man and first woman to the lunar surface . The last time NASA sent humans to the Moon was in 1972, during the Apollo lunar mission. And I am very happy to be a p art of this space era.   The Finnish equipment manufacturer said it was selected by Nasa to deploy an “ultra-compact, low-power, space-hardened” wireless 4G network on the lunar surface, as part of the US s...

How Starship will change the world

By Dhravya Shah and Sushant Pulipati We all have dreamt of seeing humans on Mars one day. Well, there is one man who will surely get us there. Elon musk.  Elon Musk                         What would you do if you are a millionaire and a vision to change the world?  Of course, you would make a space company with only 1 dream - GET TO MARS .  This is how Starship will change humanity - FOREVE R Starship is a rocket, designed by space company SpaceX. If it becomes successful, it will be by far the most efficient rocket ever designed. Why? Well,  Imagine if you have a paper aeroplane, you throw it once, and then you have to throw it in the dustbin, Waste of resources, RIGHT? You use your energy, time and paper to make an aeroplane, just to throw it once? That's where reusability comes in.  Normally, rockets are flown once and then thrown away in the ocean. All space companies do this.  EXCEPT for...
