Are we Alone?

Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered, Are we alone? That is something that everyone wonders in their daily lives.

 In the Article, Are we alone? Published by ExoplanetsNasa.com it states, “The search for life beyond Earth is really just getting started, but science has an encouraging early answer: there are plenty of planets in the galaxy, many with similarities to our own. But what we don’t know fills volumes”. That shows that there Could Very possibly be life outside our solar system and even galaxies.

What do you think?

There are so many possibilities And different Reasons to believe that there are more than just one planet with life forms. Weather It’s based on your religion, beliefs, Or even facts. It is proven that there has to be life somewhere in this universe and multitude of universes.

In a similar article published by, Scientificamerican.com It states the following,  Astronomers estimate that there are some 100 billion to 200 billion galaxies in the universe—averaging 100 million stars apiece”. With that it states, “The number of exoplanets out there is mind-boggling, each a potential cradle for life. Given the math, it seems impossible that we humans would be the only living things in the cosmos”. Like it said there are so so many exoplanets out there that could each potentially hold life, Intelligent or not. There are so many possibilities for us to find life.  

Technology

With technology quickly advancing It is becoming more and more common to talk about going to one of these planets. We may also develop new technologies that could take us millions of light years away.

And with that we could explore exoplanets like never before. We could also develop telescopes that would let us see onto exoplanets. The possibilities are endless. So, In conclusion We may never know or find out if we are alone in this universe. Is our tiny earth the only speck in the universe that Houses intelligent life? Are there other forms of life wondering the same thing as us right now? There are so many theories, so who knows.

What do We know?

Well, we already know that we have or do not have the technology to explore extraterrestrial life. We also know that according to Nasa.gov there are over 300 million potentially habitable planets in the milky way galaxy alone. In conclusion, there are many possibilities for life. Will we find life? Maybe, just maybe.

SpaceX schedule for the near future

SpaceX schedule for the near future

Four civilians return from a three-day orbit around the earth, aboard “SpaceX dragon capsule”. The first all civilian space flight took place on Wednesday, September 15, 202,  and landed three days later on September 18, 2021. Along with other space flights that may take place or may not that I had found Interesting, But the last one is the best I had found.

 

The Falcon 9 rocket, is used for most of their missions, which is also reusable the most expensive parts are like the engines. Which makes space travel more accessible or cheaper for civilians. It also is a great transportation rocket. It can deliver over 8000 Pounds of cargo or 4020kg to mars and much more depending on where it would be going. It has over 125 launches, 85 landings, and 67 reflown rockets.

 

The crew spent most of their time watching movies and calling into SpaceX mission Control, while they were live-streaming the whole thing. The flight had gone smoothly besides a few problems with heat.

 

The next flight will take place on October 31st, 2021 and it will be a crew of three astronauts, their decision is to the international space station, and their launch site is also the Kennedy Space Center. The ship is the same as the previous flight with the four civilians, there are supposed to be four on this flight as well but the fourth has not been announced yet. 

 

But before both of these two fights, there was a spacewalk of a Russian astronaut Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov, it was done on September 9, 2021, on a 7-hour live stream for the replacement of a module. It had been expedition 65, over the past 244 spacewalks since 1998.

SpaceX is trying to make more reusable rockets or better quality rockets that will make space travel to the moon and around the earth can be cheaper and more affordable for the average joe.   

 

SpaceX is now preparing to launch the longest rocket in all of the space flights but it has been a big inconvenience to Texas. The area the rocket is taking off on is causing controversy because of the endangered ocelots and also the vegetation. It is also a highway being blocked off because of the project. But no one can change this, due to it already being approved by the state and its governor. 

 

There is no set time for the rocket to lift off but it is going to be the biggest rocket launch in the whole of space flight. But it is causing lots of problems such as a 35-year-old man who has died after ramming into an 8 wheeler carrying the equipment and they have filed a lawsuit of 20 million dollars for SpaceX but it still seems they won’t be shutting it down shortly. The SpaceX team working on the rocket has all been called menses and has now been getting noise complaints from over 30 households. One family even got so sick of living in the area and had sold her house and now people such as her extended family are mocking her saying she is supporting SpaceX and the problems they cause.
