This would provide enough electricity for the population that is coming to Mars. Not only can we produce electricity, but the waste…

Even if anyone on Earth knew he was alive, a rescue trip would take over 800 sols to get to mars. When reading, I recognized three merits:…

    Scientists may have created the first wormhole in a laboratory. This could have big implications on the space-time continuum. Will this lead to quantum leaps, or possible time travel? Or will NASA and SpaceX swoop in and use the wormhole to meet aliens in an unknown universe? All of the above sounds like a bunch of sci-fi lunacy. However, NASA and SpaceX are accomplishing big things lately. So using a laboratory-developed wormhole to make contact with aliens may not be so odd. At least in the…
