With Einstein's ok: Star Trek-type spacecraft can travel at warp speeds
By: William Atkins
American physicists Gerald Cleaver and Richard Obousy are proposing a “hypothetical propulsion device” that could travel faster than the speed of light without violating any laws of physics. However, we’ll have to ask Scotty for enormous amounts of dilithium crystals!

NASA turns 50 with a vision for space exploration
By: William Atkins
On July 29, 1958, the National Aeronautics and Space Act was signed into law by then-U.S. president Dwight “Ike” D. Eisenhower. Two months later, NASA began operations with about eighty employees. Today, NASA is the world’s leading explorer and researcher of our Earth, solar system, and the universe.

NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft finds lopsided shape of solar system
By: William Atkins
Voyager 2 is flying near the edge of the solar system. It has sent back important data to NASA showing that the heliosphere (the volume of highly charged particles blown out in all directions from the Sun) is lopsided.

ABC NewsRadio axes StarStuff program – why?
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
ABC NewsRadio, Australia’s only 24 hour continuous news service, has axed one of its longest running programs because it wants to divert funding elsewhere. The program? StarStuff, the only space, science, astronomy and cosmology show on Australian radio. What a shame!

Pioneer Anomaly partially explained with heat
By: William Atkins
The Pioneer Anomaly is a mystery involving the NASA Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. Launched in 1972-73, they have traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers to explore the outer solar system and, soon, interstellar space. However, their speed is wrong, at least according to our generally accepted laws of physics.

Space radiation may cause cancer in astronauts
By: William Atkins
With long-term human habitation on the Moon and long-duration manned Martian missions on the agenda for many space agencies, researchers at Georgetown University have discovered evidence that high-energy radiation in space may cause premature aging in the cells of astronauts.
