What Voyager 1’s near-death experience says about the future of space exploration
From more than 15 billion miles away, NASA engineers last April began repairing a space probe headed for the constellation Ophiucus, though it won’t reach it for about 38,000 years.

Scientists have found a nearly indestructible moss that can survive on Mars
A nearly indestructible moss that can survive gamma-ray blasts and liquid nitrogen could be one of the keys to colonizing Mars, scientists have discovered. Moss, which can be found in some deserts here on Earth, has survived freezing conditions, dehydration and even enough radiation to kill human astronauts 1,000 times over, scientists report. Known as […]
