<title>Fresh Renderings of the First Starship Meant to Reach Another World Are Pure Glory</title>

<description><![CDATA[If all things fall into their right place, next year will see the departure of the second mission of the Artemis Moon exploration program, and the first one with humans on board. The four astronauts will not land on the lunar surface, but will test the Orion spacecraft for the ones to follow on Artemis III, the flight that will mark the return of humans up there in more than half a century.

<title>Artemis Program Won&#039;t Be Limited to Transporting Humans, Two Cargo Landers Planned</title>
<link>https://www.autoevolution.com/news/artemis-program-won-t-be-limited-to-transporting-humans-two-cargo-landers-planned-243023.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[The headlines surrounding NASA&#039;s Artemis program will inevitably revolve around humanity&#039;s return to the lunar surface after almost six decades. But four astronauts alone don&#039;t constitute a Moon colony. A vast amount of equipment and materials measuring hundreds or even thousands of tons will have to make the journey as well. When cargo holds aboard human-crewed spacecraft aren&#039;t enough, dedicated cargo landers will soon form the backbone of Artemis.

<description><![CDATA[The 1970s were extremely important years for space exploration. Fresh from landing for the first time on the Moon, the Americans were hard at work trying to design reusable spacecraft for repeated crewed trips beyond Earth&#039;s atmosphere. The Russians, on the other hand, had taken a pretty big blow at the hands of Neil Armstrong, and they were trying to figure out ways to best their competitors.

All three designs are incredible in their own sense, but none are actually physically here. What, then, is the thing we&#039;re looking at now?

<title>Anti-Gravity Trick: Europe to Tie Strings to Humans and Make Them Feel Like on the Moon</title>

<description><![CDATA[For years now astronaut training for zero g conditions has been performed in the most extreme of environments, from free-falling aircraft to large pools of water. But if the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the European Space Agency (ESA), and a group known as the Space Applications Services have it their way, there will be a brand-new way of experiencing Moon-like gravity right here on Earth.

<title>Subaru Helps NASA Find a Possible Kuiper Belt Beyond the Kuiper Belt We Already Knew About</title>

<description><![CDATA[You are probably pretty familiar with the name Subaru because of the cars it makes. But as with any Japanese word, there&#039;s more to it than meets the eye: it&rsquo;s used to depict more than just the Crosstreks and Imprezas of the world. For instance,&nbsp;Subaru is the word for &quot;unite,&quot; but also the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster, and  it is slapped on a telescope as well.
