NASA details plan to build a levitating robot train on the moon! Does a levitating robot train on the moon sound far-fetched? NASA doesn’t seem to think so, as the agency has just greenlit further funding for a study looking into the concept. The project, called "Flexible Levitation on a Track" (FLOAT), has been moved to phase two of NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts program (NIAC) , which aims to develop "science fiction-like" projects for future space exploration. The FLOAT project could result in materials being transported across the moon's surface as soon as the 2030s, according to the agency. - - - #Space #NASA #spaceze #robot #spaceship #spacex #spacestation #universe #astronomy #astronaut #stars #spaceshuttle #explore

Do you believe we might have a #train on the moon soon? Yes, NASA is working to achieve this scientific dream! NASA unveils a bold plan to build a #railway system that can transport 100 tons of payloads at a speed of 1.8 kilometers per hour on #cars floating above the track. Do you think this is science fiction? In fact, it is a bold step towards space exploration and building a permanent #lunar_base by 2026 as part of the #Artemis mission. The agency gave the green light to study the establishment of an innovative railway system powered by magnetic and solar energy to quickly transport materials on floating cars. With a plan to send #astronauts to build a permanent lunar base, the future of space exploration is looking bright indeed! What do you think of this step? #NASA #space #moon #space_exploration

Our earth is spinning with 1670 km/h through the universe. What can we do with that fact technically? Well, in reality, the roads go faster than the cars. That gives huge opportunities for energy engineering... So why not harvest that energy with #biomimetics and antennas? Like Nikola Tesla envisioned... #science #technology #engineering #innovation #nature #astrophysics

Imagine an immense eruption from the Sun, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), where billions of tons of plasma and magnetic fields are hurled into space. To put it into perspective, if Earth were placed beside such an event, it would look like a tiny marble next to a colossal fireball. These solar eruptions can disrupt satellites, power grids, and even auroras on Earth. It’s a stark reminder of the Sun's raw power and our vulnerability to space weather. Fascinating, isn't it? #SolarStorms #SpaceWeather #CosmicEvents
