With Whom Is Jeff Bezos Travelling To Space?
Passengers who want to fly in the New Shepard capsule must sign a form to waiver their rights to sue the space company he founded ten years ago in the event of an accident. Branson is demanding similar steps from Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc (SPCE: 088) (SPCE: 088), which plans to send paying passengers next year on its space plane. In 2004, the Congress agreed to allow the space tourism industry to speed up its preparations for passenger flights.

This Is How Aliens Might Search For Human Life
Scientists in search of alien life have limited their hunt to stars and planetary systems that cast occasional glances at Earth as it passes before the sun. Seven of the 2043 known host planets and many more are likely to orbit worlds that could be suitable for life. As a result of this study, astronomers looking for extraterrestrial life are now focusing on stars, planetary systems, and views of Earth, rather than what to expect from Earth.

Germany : Militarizing Space Exploration
Well, the writing is on the wall. If you’re not a troglodyte and haven’t been living under a rock for the last decade, you should already know that several countries, as well as privately owned companies, are now stepping up efforts to explore and colonize space.

A Thought Experiment for our World
If we can imagine ourselves in this world that we live in as being advanced to a point of having the ability to travel through space and visit other planets, and solar systems this is what I believe will be the next question for Humanity. Can we find a planet that is inhabited with intelligent beings, perhaps similar to Humans, that does not fall into 1 of 2 categories?

The Locket of Love
Knock, Knock! The sound of knuckles against a pine door echoed lightly through the front of the house perched on the way up to the mountaintop. Blonde hair, blue eyed 7 year old Anora popped her head up from playing with her matchbox cars, dropping to the floor, the toy she held in her hand and hopped up to go find daddy excitedly. Her mom was coming to pick her up and it was time to talk about something important her mommy had mentioned last time they were together. Mom was funny and she laughed loudly. She loved reading books and said it made her eyes get wet a lot. As daddy opened the door, she hugged mommy tightly around her bouncy belly. Anora said goodbye to daddy just as his girlfriend was driving up in a blue Tesla. Anora opened her mouth and her hand came to her pandemic required facemask in adorable surprise as the Night Rider song always caught her off guard. She waved to Jessica as her and mommy got in the car to head out. Mommy’s face always made a squinty look when she saw Jessica.

Heart Shaped Locket
I inherited nothing from all my family gone, but this beat up and half-broken heart shaped locket. Not surprising, because I hadn’t counted on anything from them. They cast me out when I was young, at 12 going on 13. Fortunate for me there were plenty of gigs for someone with such a small frame, working along the docks then. It was a gamble to keep my limbs and fingers, but I was quick enough to get through on a dime or two until a hover ship cast me aboard and I got out of this depraved pit, which no one fondly refers to as Megalopoly.

Project Sol
I shuddered awake. Not from a dream, though I wish it were one. The air was chill against my skin even under all these quilts. It was like icicles forming in my lungs. Little shards speckling my dark curled eyelashes. Through the window only meager sunlight filtered in; weak as if straining to warm the earth. The twinkle of a once radiant smile, now blurred by frost. The glass...its like a slowly shattering prism. The crackle of my fireplace alerted me to the dwindling of the last embers of life sustaining flames.

Two of Hearts
It’s felt like generations, but I knew it had only been four years since comms were cut. Four years of chaos, confusion, and the downfall of our entire small world. I sighed as I gazed at my surroundings, the place I’d come to call home, or something of the sort. Exposed wires and pipes, their purposes long lost to me, snaked across the concrete walls, all eventually leading back to the bulkhead that served as my home’s entrance.

Contact
The orbital bombardment only took a single rotation. I watched as the surface of the planet below transitioned from a landscape of greens, browns, and blues, to a gray-brown smudge of destruction with patches of orange smeared intermittently where flames roared. Our fleet’s heavy artillery smashed their ground defenses in minutes. After that, the operation was practically a joke. I couldn’t help but feel pride in the pit of my stomach. Or perhaps that was the motion sickness.

ORIGINS:
The world of Earth had been a forgotten tale for millennia amidst the Federation of Stars when the small crew of three crash landed on its now mostly rocky surface. In good graces, not one was hurt and the small ship was stable enough to be utilized as housing pending the rescue. The mayday signal had deployed on impact. Survival was the business at hand.

Dangerous Betelgeuse: 1.5 billion times bigger than the sun, may explode at any time? The scientist gives the time
Orion may be the first constellation that many friends know, because its position in the winter night sky is much more obvious than that of the Big Dipper, and you can see its existence when you look up!
