US Astronauts stuck in space
After suit-up and final fit checks, NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams participate in a traditional game of rock, paper, scissors inside the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. The crew members are preparing for launch to the International Space Station aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex-41 at nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 10:52 a.m. EDT.

US Astronauts stuck in space
NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams say goodbye to friends and family upon exiting the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. The crew members are on their way to load up into Boeing’s Astrovan for the trip to the launch pad of Space Launch Complex-41 at nearby Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, where they will launch to the International Space Station aboard Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft atop a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at 10:52 a.m. EDT.

Tunnel on the Moon could become astronaut base

A tunnel has been discovered on the Moon which could provide a base for colonising astronauts.
Radar data taken by US space agency NASA 14 years ago has been recently studied with technologies not available at the time.
And it confirmed the presence of a giant lava tube that could be large enough to house entire bases.
Temperatures on the Moon plunge as low as 127 °C in daylight and -173 °C at night.
There is also 150 times the radiation as on the surface of the Earth.
And there is the hazard of micro-meteors while the lunar surface is covered with a highly abrasive dust that sticks to everything.
Scientists and engineers have been looking for ways to protect future Moon colonists from these hazards for more than half a century.
Both thermal insulation and radiation shielding call for habitats to be protected by heaps of soil, burrowing into the sides of craters or deep into the lava plains that all require construction.
An alternative is to find natural caves that could be modified to meet human needs.

Plan to grow homes for astronauts on the Moon and Mars with fungi

US space agency NASA is looking at growing homes for astronauts on the Moon and Mars — using fungi.
The concept has been selected for research into providing accommodation for future explorers.
Some habitats, such as landers and rovers, will be delivered to planetary surfaces.
However, the fungi project team is developing technologies that could “grow” habitats on the Moon, Mars, and beyond using fungi and the underground threads that comprise the main part of fungi, known as mycelia.
With this development, explorers could travel with a compact habitat built out of lightweight material containing dormant fungi.
By adding water, fungi can potentially grow around that framework into a fully functional human habitat, while being safely contained to avoid contaminating the environment.
A team of researchers at the NASA Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley will receive new $2 million USD funding for the habitat research.
OPS: Fungi in a NASA lab. When given food and water it is capable of growing. It is also fire retardant and an excellent insulating material.

Re-processed urine, sweat and humidity is set to provide astronauts for future long haul space missions with up to 98 percent of the water required.
US Space Agency NASA has developed a life support system that can regenerate or recycle consumables and is testing them on the International Space Station.
Each astronaut on the space station required about a gallon of water daily.
But water is heavy making it expensive to transport and requiring lots of valuable space to store it.
NASA support systems need to recover close to 98% of the water that crews bring along at the start of a long journey.
The space station’s Environmental Control and Life Support System, known as ECLSS has now demonstrated that it can achieve that.

Astronauts on long haul space missions will be able to cook and enjoy their own French fries according to new research.
An experiment has shown that tasty fried potato dish can be made in weightless conditions.
It involved the European Space Agency sending a sealed deep-fat fryer monitored by researchers at the University of Thessaloniki, Greece on a parabolic flight above Earth.
This is where an aircraft flies in repeated arcs to recreate brief moments of weightlessness without going into space.
The agency has been supporting research in frying cooking methods in microgravity to fill in knowledge gaps on Earth and in space.
Even though frying potatoes is done everywhere around the world, it involves complex physics and chemistry, and in space everything becomes more complicated.
The researchers admitted before the flights they were not sure frying would work in weightlessness.

Virgin empire businessman Sir Richard Branson has unveiled the space suits which passengers on his tourist flights to outer space will wear.They have been created for his Virgin Galactic company by US fitness wear company Under Armour.The spacewear system for Virgin Galactic astronauts is made up of a base layer, spacesuit, footwear, training suit and Limited Edition astronaut jacket. It is the first such collection ever created specifically for private astronauts.The design of astronaut apparel is a unique combination of the requirement for comfort and utility. The suits are the result of the collaboration announced in January this year by Branson and Under Armour founder Kevin Plank. The spacesuit is made from lightweight flight-grade fabrics, with cushioning in elbows, knees and in the footwear, to provide safety in out-of-seat zero gravity. The suits are complemented by training suits which will help to optimize the effectiveness of astronaut preparation in the days immediately before spaceflight.
