Lockheed-Martin (LM) has a problem. Its Atlas V orbital launch system, while very popular with the US military, at around US$225M per launch is too expensive to compete effectively for commercial missions, whose launch costs are generally about half
Privatized space exploration is big business these days, and nobody is bigger than SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk of Tesla electric car fame. We've already seen how SpaceX is picking up after the loss of the Space Shuttle when it comes to r

Getting into space is an expensive business where every little bit of extra weight, which includes the fuel powering the spacecraft, can add thousands of dollars to the cost of a mission.
Earth has a magnetic field, which begins at the core and stretches far out into space.
The Winklevoss twins want to take a trip to outer space, and they’re using bicoin to get there.
A European space plane project will take to the skies a few months from now for a crucial test.

All the way to outer space. That's right -- ever since Obama ended the U.S. manned spaceflight program, U.S. astronauts have depended on Russia to take them to the International Space Station.”
To say space research is a waste of money is wrong. For every US$1 put into US space agency, its citizens get US$10 as payback; in Japan and the European Union that amount is more than US$3.
An ambitious simulated Mars mission that will take place over a full year in the Canadian Arctic has whittled its pool of potential crewmembers by two-thirds.
With the film Gravity hoovering up awards for its portrayal of astronauts dodging colliding satellites, now seems a good time to talk about the very real threat posed by space debris.
