New Horizons is the first mission to the Kuiper Belt, a gigantic zone of icy bodies and mysterious small objects orbiting beyond Neptune. This region also is known as the “third” zone of our solar system, beyond the inner rocky planets and outer gas giants. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Maryland, designed, built and operates the New Horizons spacecraft, and manages the mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Year of Pluto – NASA New Horizons is a one hour documentary which takes on the hard science and gives us answers to how the mission came about and why it matters. Interviews with Dr. James Green, John Spencer, Fran Bagenal, Mark Showalter and others share how New Horizons will answer many questions. New Horizons is part of the New Frontiers Program, managed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Fifty years ago, humans took their first steps on the Moon and the world watched as we made history. On July 19, 2019, we broadcast this live salute to our #Apollo50th heroes and looked forward to our next giant leap for future #Artemis missions to the Moon and Mars.

Sick of life on Earth? (good question folks, I am getting there).

In the final episode of Hacking the Apocalypse, Claire Reilly looks at what it will take to get humans on Mars, and how we’ll survive when we get there.

It sounds like science fiction, but journalist Stephen Petranek considers it fact: within 20 years, humans will live on Mars. In this provocative talk, Petranek makes the case that humans will become a spacefaring species and describes in fascinating detail how we’ll make Mars our next home. “Humans will survive no matter what happens on Earth,” Petranek says. “We will never be the last of our kind.” TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less).

The wider Universe is now in focus more than ever before, as we seem to be running out of new frontiers to explore right here on earth. Major leaps and bounds are being achieved since the advances of deep Space Exploration along with its many other diverse and associated industries, such as the socalled 'Secret Space Program', for the advancement and benefit of the human race and Planet Earth. Ongoing research and deep space exploration has launched the world into a fascinating future catapulting us further afield into Space and the wider Universe. The opportunity presents itself to us all to look outside the box and embrace all these mind blowing new technologies and discoveries, which may seem somewhat surreal and the stuff science fiction is made of, with an more open mind. It also means that we are able to expand our minds and learn many new scientific concepts. through the exploration of Space Technology. Many new discoveries are being made and will directly have a significant bearing upon us all, no matter what walk of life we come from. Space is Man's final Frontier, and the depth and immensity of Space with its billions of planetary systems and star galaxies seems infinite, as our Universe courses its way through its ebbs and flows with stars and comets continually dying off. The remaining dust of stars is recycled and turns into new planets, asteroids, or comets. Consequently, the study of the birth, life, and death of stars is central to the field of astronomy to keep our Scientists updated and informed in their ongoing research, and the Universe regenerates and expands itself and has been through the billions of millenniums since its infancy.
