18 Dec 2017 Science fiction might inspire us to dream, but here's a rather more realistic vision of what space travel will look like in the future. 16 Jul 2019 NASA engineers will develop new technologies to improve air transport at home and meet the challenges of advanced space exploration. Our scientists will 29 Mar 2018 For almost 20 years, humans have maintained a continuous presence beyond Earth. The International Space Station has provided a habitat
31 Mar 2014 Proponents of human space flight have urged returning to the Moon human spaceflight within the constraints of realistic budget planning.
The future of space travel might seem stalled at the moment, but Aldo Spadoni believes humankind won’t remain earthbound for long. A longtime advanced projects manager for Northrop Grumman, Spadoni is now retired at 60 but still working as a technical consultant for his former employer and movies like “Iron Man.” At a recent event in Norway, Hawking described the small space probe that could travel “on a beam of light,” reaching roughly 160 million k/h (100 million mph). Near Future Space & Realistic Space Sci-Fi A list for space colonization and space faring civilization enthusiasts who enjoy taking an imaginative ride into the not so distant future. By the not so distant future we are ideally talking about the 10-100 years of human space efforts and not time travel or a thousand or more years into the future.
When Jules Verne wrote his novel From the Earth to the Moon over 150 years ago, he imagined future space travel very differently to how it came to be when man first set foot on the Moon a century later in 1969. Instead of the technically impossible ‘space cannon’ described in the book,
Chris explains that our urge to explore is found within our very DNA, and suggests space exploration is a way to ensure our survival. His book, Beyond: Our Future in Space, maps out the next hundred years of space, in which we could see humans born off-Earth, No more rocket. This is the problem of space debris, and it’s very real. The US Space Surveillance Network has eyes on 17,000 objects—each at least the size of a softball—hurtling around Earth at speeds of more than 17,500 mph; if you count pieces under 10 centimeters, it’s closer to 500,000 objects. Like solar sails, they will be connected to “lightsails” and sent into space. From a station back on Earth, large arrays of ultrapowerful lasers will shoot 100 gigawatts of focused laser beams at the lightsails, propelling them at 20 percent of the speed of light—over 160 million kilometers per hour (100 million mph).

Sure, the trip will take nearly two years (501 days, to be precise) and only two people (one man, one woman) can go, but the nonprofit hopes that the trip will ignite a new passion for space travel. “NASA and America’s space program have been a critical part of inspiring our nation and people everywhere to reach for their dreams and dare to The future of spacecraft, explained by a man who launches them.

A warp drive, normally the stuff of science fiction, would travel faster than light by riding on a wave of spacetime. It creates this wave by compressing the spacetime in front of the ship and expanding the spacetime behind it. A ship then sits in the middle of this wave, and is propelled through space.
