This week has been dominated by the space space, from a blue origin by continuing NASA on its allocation of the Artemis Lunar Lander contract in Spacex and ending with NASA, officially delaying work on the program for Face the complaint of the Space Society of Jeff Bezos.
Between all of this, we have seen incredible work of NASA’s ingenuity helicopter of NASA because its ongoing Mars mission exceeded its initial goals. We have also seen shiny work done by Caltech Scientists who used ripples in the saturn rings to sound inside the planet.
There was also the national Lawrence Livermore laboratory report in California with a breakthrough of nuclear fusion that puts us on the point of sustained artificial nuclear fusion, the key to unlocking cheap energy, clean and almost unlimited.
The blue origin of Jeff Bezos continues NASA on Artemis Lunar Lander Contract, delaying the Artemis mission until 2025
The week began with a lengthening of blue origin against NASA at the Federal Court responsible for the US Space Agency attributing its mission from Artemis Lunar Lander to Spacex in April was inappropriate and the tender process was to be redone.
Blue Origin says that, since the initial announcement calling for tenders indicated that more than one offer would be selected, NASA should not have given the contract to a single company, Spacex. NASA and the US Government Accountability Office rejected this argument, saying that several rewards were a possibility, but have never been guaranteed.
Nevertheless, the prosecution requires NASA to prevent work with Spacex on Artemis, while the trial, with arguments due to the Tribunal in mid-October and a potential decision in one way or another on 1 November.
The time of 10 weeks everything but NASA will fail its target of 2024 to return astronauts to the moon, and if the Blue Original trial is a success, the entire kidnapping process will have to be executed again, which will lead to even more important delay in getting artemis from the soil.
The breakthrough of nuclear fusion puts humanity at the edge of unlimited energy inflammation
Nuclear fusion is the kind of thing that overlaps fantasy and physics. The idea of almost limits without limits free of carbon emissions, nuclear waste or other pollutants is so transformative in its nature that for decades after the first atomic tests in the 1940s, it was widely regarded as impossible.
But we know it’s possible; We see it every day, literally. The sun is powered by a nuclear oven where it fuses two hydrogen atoms to form helium, and the energy released in the process is what gives it – and we – energy.
We have achieved an artificial fusion before in various laboratories in the world, but these fusion reactions were infinimally short and fleeting, and they failed to approach what is called the ignition threshold of the fusion nuclear.
That is, the nuclear fusion reaction produces more energy than it absorbs, which creates an autonomous fusion reaction that continues to fuscate hydrogen, even after taking the energy source that l ‘has inflamed. If we can achieve inflammation of nuclear fusion, the energy of almost limit nuclear fusion could be used to feed our world instead of all other Earth fuels.
This is what the researchers of the National Lavrence Livermore National Laboratory in California have been close to succeed. In their last test, they produced a nuclear fusion reaction that released 10 watt swatches, about 10% of the energy contained in all the sunlight struck the Earth at any time.
It was about 70% of the energy that researchers were to apply to trigger the fusion reaction, much greater than any previous attempt. At their current progress rates, researchers believe they can reach the threshold of nuclear fusion ignition in a decade. Great, so true.
