Captain Kirk, Boldly To Go Where Few Men Have Gone Before
Space Tourism’s Most Famous Guest While it won’t be aboard the famed U.S.S. Enterprise bearing the NCC-1701 tag, and he won’t be sitting in the captain’s chair with his good buddies Spock and McCoy at his side, William Shatner is going to space. Continuing with the decades-long tradition of the wealthy, famous, or well-connected making the journey where hundreds have gone before Star Trek’s Captain Kirk is scheduled to launch this Wednesday.

Space Tourism
Aviation tourism has taken on a new dimension since the flight of the first astronaut, American businessman Dennis Tito, on April 28, 2001, when opportunities for marital or tourism became available. Many space tourism companies are planning to build underground cars and space cities in the next two decades, invest millions, and believe that the limited tourism industry is on the verge of promotion. Criticism has intensified when Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos told reporters Tuesday on his first trip to space that Amazon customers and employees would pay for his flight.

What's in a Name?
Everyone knows that Martians come from Mars. That's straightforward enough. Beyond that, things get fiddly. Just what do you call someone from Jupiter, Venus or Pluto? What of the asteroid belt? Even in professional astronomy circles, people argue over the correct use of demonyms and adjectives for astronomical bodies. Much of the terminology used today originates from alchemical, astrological and classical works, and the growth of science fiction has only made it more confused. Of course, nowadays we know the likelihood of finding little green men on Mars or Mercury is slim to none, but the use of adjectival forms is necessary to describe features on the planets or their satellites. Plus, there's still fiction - everyone loves a good, old-fashioned Martian invasion.

There exist Whiteholes
The white hole is the exact opposite of the black hole because there is no horizon of the event, the white hole has no resistance to the atmosphere, no light emitted from the universe and the horizon itself acts as the first place the horizon of black holes can escape. The Schwarzschild metaphor (a map used to link Penrose's drawing, which does not include the previous white holes) works with permanent black holes, so no one can change the former, it can't carry dying stars, and it has nothing to do with the past. Keep in mind that the time axis and the y-axis of the space in the diagram show the size of the white hole and the previous event area around it, while the time-space around it leaves.

Entropy and Black Hole
As the power of the black hole rises and the top of its event rises it turns out that the entropy of the black hole is equal to its surface, a fact previously criticized by Bekenstein. Since the thermodynamic definition of temperature is linked to the variability in strength and entropy, this discovery allowed the late Stephen Hawking to show that entry into the black hole is consistent with the second law of thermodynamics. Hawking provided further hot thermodynamic evidence of black hole entropy in 1995, and since then it has been possible to perform controlled black hole calculations based on mathematical devices that link entropy with a large number of microstates.

The Way Station
A Series by Cy Sherman Part: 1 With a yawn and the opening of his eyes captain Michael Terrance sat up on the edge of his cot looking out into the stars of deep space. "Today's the day," Michael said to himself as he prepared for the day ahead. Eventually making his way down to the meeting place held every morning for all updates, from the health of the ship to the health of each individual member of the team. As he walked and climbed downward he could see all things that could go wrong with today's landing. So he became resolute to make sure every detail was checked and rechecked before the final decision to land.
