'Rogue' Black Holes, Fleets of 'Flat Landers' and More
Last week Harvard University researchers said they know how spot “rogue” black holes, an American astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts made a snowy but safe landing on Earth late Monday, and scientists envisioned future space missions with fleets of 'Flat Landers' exploring other planets. See the best stories from last week here. <br><br> FIRST STOP: How Gas Stations in Space Could Fuel Solar System Exploration
How Gas Stations in Space Could Fuel Solar System Exploration
Engineers at MIT suggest setting up orbital propellant depots to fuel future missions to the moon. Such en-route stations would mean spacecraft could launch with less fuel on board and hence carry heavier loads like larger scientific experiments. <br><br> [<a href=http://ift.tt/1ocR9Gv Story</a>] <br><br><p>NEXT: Scientists to Unveil 'Major Discovery' at Astrophysics Center Monday
