To Boldly Go: 2021 Space Travel Milestones
2021 proved a tremendous year for space exploration, zero-gravity research, and new milestones. But which of its many projects will the year be remembered for? Let’s rewind for a look at the most outrageous giant leaps mankind made this year.
Tomlinson: Bowie-singing astronaut developing protein pills for real space travel

Space Images: The Best Of 2021
This image shows two of Jupiter's large rotating storms, captured by Juno's visible-light imager, ... [+] JunoCam, on Juno's 38th perijove pass, on Nov. 29, 2021.
It was also one that had NASA land on Mars, its Juno spacecraft at Jupiter continue to send back jaw-dropping images, and a few stunning solar and lunar eclipses occur here on Earth.
'Perseverance' Perfectly Summarizes 2021 at Stennis Space Center - Biz New Orleans
STENNIS SPACE CENTER, Miss. (press release) – Public interest in the word "perseverance" peaked earlier this year with the landing of the Mars rover bearing that name. Due to the interest, Cambridge Dictionary selected "perseverance" as the 2021 word of the year.
The perseverance of the Stennis workforce during the past year enabled the Space Launch System (SLS) to progress toward its maiden launch, site teams to move forward in propulsion test activities, commercial partners to reach new testing milestones, an autonomous systems team to move ahead in
NASA clears Axiom crew for 1st private mission to International Space Station | Space
The astronauts launching with the first private crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) next year have cleared all their medical evaluations.
NASA and its international partners approved the four-person crew for Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), which is scheduled to launch on Feb. 28, 2022. The Ax-1 crew includes Michael López-Alegría, Larry Connor, Mark Pathy and Eytan Stibbe, according to a statement from NASA .
2022 tech holds promise for EVs, health care, space, ocean exploration
When I looked back at 2021 last week, I started with fairly negative emotions — but as I dug into some of 2021's tech trends, I spotted more good than I first realized. In fact, the glass-half-full part of me thinks we might actually have some things to look forward to in 2022.
New Tech Flings a Projectile into Space » Explorersweb
SpinLaunch's accelerators don't use rocket engines. Instead, the drum-shaped launchers use a carbon fiber tether to spin payloads at supersonic velocity. Once up to speed, it releases them into the atmosphere. Soon, the company plans to launch its first orbital craft.
In late October, a preliminary unit called the Suborbital Accelerator successfully fired a test projectile at supersonic speed. The 90-metre-tall machine recently launched its first test flight in New Mexico, at privately-owned launch facility Spaceport America.
The AP Interview: Japanese Tourist Says Space Trip 'Amazing' - Breaking & Latest
MOSCOW — A Japanese space tourist on Monday rejected criticism from those who questioned his decision to pay a fortune for a trip to the International Space Station, saying the “amazing” experience was worth it.
“Once you are in space, you realize how much it is worth it by having this amazing experience,” he told the AP in the first TV interview since he arrived at the station. “And I believe that this amazing experience will lead to something else.”
Ramjet Propulsion and the Near Impossibility of Interstellar Travel
Human space exploration has had its share of successes, with our probes going far into interstellar space. But humans themselves haven’t made it past the Moon yet.
The thrust from the jet would theoretically allow the ship to reach relativistic speeds, while carrying no onboard fuel . The concept is based on the presence of high-energy particles in space, with hydrogen especially existing in an ionized state that can be affected by magnetic fields.
