Many astronauts report a change in perspective that results from seeing the Earth from space. A book examines a different shift some have reported from seeing the universe in a new way while in space. www.thespacereview.com/article/5237/1
Astrobiology and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence have largely focused on biological life. But the first evidence of intelligence we might detect beyond Earth may not be biological in nature. www.thespacereview.com/article/5238/1
One of the complaints about the Outer Space Treaty is that many of its provisions are vague and subject to wide-ranging interpretations, a decision that was intentional. www.thespacereview.com/article/5239/1
In 1968, a launch failure caused a nuclear power source to fall into the ocean off the California coast, and the government raced to recover it. www.thespacereview.com/article/5233/1
Many satellite operators worry about debris from accidental collisions or antisatellite weapons tests, but an underappreciated debris threat comes from a type of cyberattack. www.thespacereview.com/article/5234/1
Many hailed the success of the Artemis 2 mission as a key step in returning to the Moon, but it also played an important cultural role, something only a space agency can do. www.thespacereview.com/article/5232/1
The New Glenn pad explosion is the biggest of its kind, but NASA studies from the 1960s sought to understand what would happen if a Saturn V had a bad day. www.thespacereview.com/article/5235/1
Unlike other military services, the Space Force largely operates from permanent bases in the United States and allied nations rather than having forward-deployed bases, which raises security issues: www.thespacereview.com/article/5240/1
Last week NASA outlined initial plans for developing a lunar base, awarding contracts for rovers and the landers that would deliver them. But those plans faced an immediate challenge after the explosion of New Glenn. www.thespacereview.com/article/5236/1
