NASA Engineer Proposes Engine That Runs Without Any Fuel

David Burns, a NASA engineer, has proposed an engine which runs on forward momentum. Strictly speaking, this violates the law which states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, but his design focuses on Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity which can make the mechanism possible.

Draconid, Orionid Meteor Showers

The best time to view the Draconid, Orionid meteor showers

A long time ago, when people stared in the sky. Sometimes they'd spy bright specs of light. Some thought they were angels or the gods dashing through the sky. In time, early astronomers developed spyglasses and telescopes with improved optics.
Through a technique called the FFC-Cambridge process, scientists were able to extract oxygen and metals from moon rocks efficiently.

Scientists extract oxygen and metal from moon rock efficiently

There's oxygen on the moon and we know how to get it now. In 1969, we were first able to set foot on the Moon. Now, fifty years later, we're about to go back again, this time with bigger dreams of setting up colonies on both the Moon and Mars.
A joint project between NASA and ExoMars will explore the planet's surface in 2021.
