SpaceX Starship: 5 Facts That You Definitely Missed

Image
Did you know that once the spacex starship is fully stacked. It will become world’s biggest space launch system , even bigger than the Saturn v rocket? The starship and super-heavy venture intends to launch mankind to the moon and mars. It’s a long desire of spacex owner Elon Musk to make humans an interplanetary species. Photo Credit: bbc.com As a result of this, spacex has been building its space program to produce affordable and massive rockets. In this article, we will share 5 amazing facts about spacex’s starship rocket, that distinguishes it from other launch systems. 1.    Starship can Refuel in Space Fuel is perhaps the most important thing that every space agency needs to consider. Many of the space shuttles and rockets find their way to the scrapyard due to their non-reusability. But things are different with spacex starship. Starship will have the capability to refuel in space. This means that you don’t need excessive loads of fueling in a rocket for long ve...

SpaceX rolls giant Super Heavy rocket to launch pad for testing

Image
SpaceX starship booster 3 was  driven to the launch site  at starbase Boca Chica Texas. According to spacex CEO Elon musk, the super-heavy prototype will not launch. It's only meant to undergo ground tests to pave the path for its successor booster 4. Which is the official candidate for  starship orbital launch expected in July.  In addition to this, SpaceX seems to be in a rush to develop its starships and super-heavy boosters. And once the original prototype is fully stacked. It will become the largest rocket launch system. Even beating NASA's space launch system or SLS. Photo Credit: Elon Musk Twitter SpaceX is receiving huge amounts of publicity in recent years due to its space program and thrilling rocket engineering. Moreover, much of this fame dates back to its CEO Elon musk who's sustainability and Mars colonization prospects have triggered people's interest in interplanetary exploration. Moreover, the success of super heavy and starships will be crucial in m...

Perseverance rover lands on mars: NASA releases breathtaking images of the red planet!

Image
NASA has succeeded in piloting its Perseverance Mars rover on the surface of the red planet. Mission control burst into celebration after the Perseverance rover landed at Jezero crater on Mars. Perseverance mars rover will now spend the next two years drilling rocks at Jezero crater. During this time, it will expect to find signs of antique life. Previously the mars orbiters used to capture images of the Jezero crater from about 200 kilometers above. It was sufficient for topographical analysis. But to search for life, earthlings needed rover-like perseverance.  Perseverance sends first colored picture after touchdown on Mars Jezero crater supported ancient lakes, and there are high potentials for hunting down traces of microbial life. This Crater is 28 miles or 45 kilometers wide and sits on the western edge of sides Planitia. It is a giant basin north of the Martian equator. It is said to have formed after a gigantic rock from space smashed through the Martian surface.  A re...

Scientists find first multicellular living organism that can survive without the availability of oxygen

Image
This organism bid farewell to aerobic respiration a long time ago. Living organisms with the capability to exist without the involvement of oxygen is a little bit controversial. Our current knowledge revolves around oxygen being the key element used by all living organisms present on this planet for survival. Recent research shows that some microbial organisms can withstand the oxygen-deficient environment.   H. Salminicola is a member  of Phylum Cnidarian to which jellyfish and sea anemones also belong. H. Salminicola is parasitic and can commonly dwell inside Salmon fish, but it’s not harmful to its host and will usually remain inside the fish throughout its life cycle. Recent research conducted on this organism revealed that it lacked the conventional life apparatus known as ‘Mitochondria”, which is involved in the production of energy-rich molecules known as ATP. It is due to this energy-rich molecule that we occasionally designate mitochondria as the po...

Coronavirus outbreak: How much transmissible is this virus?

Image
What is the Coronavirus and why is it difficult to restrain it? Coronavirus is common in animals and has some forms that don’t even affect humans. This same virus is responsible for causing two well-known diseases named SARS and MERS in the outbreaks of 2002 and 2012 respectively. Due to complicated mutation capabilities these viruses become very unpredictable. This feature of the virus makes it a mystery for the scientists who are constantly trying to sequence its genetic material for vaccine production. Transmission of the virus and common symptoms The latest diseases caused by Coronavirus has been named COVID-19 and is said to have caused the pneumonia-like condition in its victims. Like the others this Coronavirus is said to have been transmitted from wildlife to humans.  Its being said that the virus made its way to its human host from a seafood market located in Wuhan province of China. This new coronavirus is much more dangerous than the seasonal flu that...

Industrial revolution of 1870s in England caused contamination of the Himalayan mountain ranges; new research reveals fascinating findings

Image
Himalaya contaminated with toxic metals and other chemicals, claims research Himalaya is home to the tallest mountains in the world and has remained a subject of mankind for a very long time. Tranquility and pureness of environment are some of the unique attributes of Himalaya along with vast networks of mountains and glaciers. Himalaya has naturally inherited regions that are thousands of meters above sea level, which in turn isolates them from the rest of the world. One can easily assume that this remoteness from the world shields it from the activity of humans but this is not the case. A recent research claims that the region has been contaminated with metal toxins that evolved in the region with the dawn of industrial revolution in England. Scientist in 1997 drilled and gathered samples from glacier at Dasuopu, located on Shishapangma, which is also the 14 th tallest mountain in the world. After carrying a comprehensive analysis on these samples researchers came to t...
