"Baskets are used for crew evacuation, yes, or personnel. If something were to happen, the rocket hasn't launched yet, and we want to get people out of there very quickly, then instead of an elevator, which moves quite slowly, you can bring them down with such baskets on ropes, like a cable car. "

"space shuttles, it seems, already in that first launch phase, burned hydrogen in oxygen, but that doesn't mean it was less hot there and that all that heat didn't need to be dissipated. The heat was immense. Yes, it was already hydrogen in that main orange tank. We had tanks with hydrogen and liquid oxygen. "

"Look, these boosters are boosters from the Space Shuttle era. In fact, not those engines, they replaced one engine because there were problems with it. They had to take another one from the warehouse. Or this technology is like a transfer of that technology from the Space Shuttles, so it's nothing extraordinary. "

"This rocket is, of course, for shooting off the entire module with astronauts in case of emergency and a rescue system. Yes. And it started to be used already in the 1960s. "

"Unfortunately, eyesight deteriorates in microgravity conditions. Something happens to the eyeball. They all ended up wearing glasses later. "

"These seats, as we can see here, are seats used for launch and landing. They are also profiled in such a way that the astronauts' bodies are as protected as possible against any G-forces, whether during splashdown, or during launch and atmospheric entry. However, these upper seats, what you see here, could be dismantled and were dismantled. So, during the flight, they had so much more space that these elements, like the footrests, weren't flying around between their heads. All of this was disassembled and then reassembled during the return. "

"a medic first enters it to check if everything is alright, or if, for example, any of the astronauts have not suffered any injury during splashdown. Because you hit the water surface at a speed of about 30 km/h. Well, it may not be 40,000 km/h, but something can still happen to you, something can shift, I don't know. something can happen to your spine. "

"Jezero Crater, where the Perseverance rover is moving, is probably the outflow of some tributary to a larger lake, a water basin that existed billions of years ago on Mars. "

"This is not the first organic substance that has been found on the surface of Mars, because in other regions the Perseverance rover, for example, also found such chemical substances. "

"Curiosity is still working and constantly sending various types of information to Earth. "

"Unfortunately, despite hundreds of attempts, the Wow! signal never repeated, becoming the greatest source of frustration in the history of astronomy. "

"magnetic field affects living organisms. For example, one can levitate a frog using a magnet. "

"Blue Alchemist is an end-to-end, scalable system that relies on a Molten Regolith Electrolysis (MRE) reactor. This reactor uses electrical current to separate oxygen from metals (iron, aluminum, silicon, etc.) without water, toxic chemicals, or carbon emissions. "

"realistically, for one gold coin weighing one ounce, I could survive on the Moon for only about four hours. "

"released heavy metals simply sink to the very bottom of the reactor, and in this way, the system is able to separate precious oxygen from metals such as iron, aluminum, silicon, or some others. "

"The reactor itself proudly bears the name Air Pioneer. Unlike earlier laboratory attempts, which required huge, very cumbersome equipment that was absolutely unsuitable for space flights. Air Pioneer is a device operating on a very small scale. "

"“These promising technologies are at a 'tipping point' in their development, meaning NASA's investment is likely the extra push a company needs to significantly mature a capability. These are important technologies necessary for sustained exploration of the Moon and Mars.” "

"All this technology fits into a powerful idea that we call ISRU in the space industry. ISRU, in short, means In-Situ Resource Utilization. This is the utilization of resources on site. "

"oxygen on the Moon is literally under our feet, you just need to extract it from there. "

"for that amount, the Falcon Heavy rocket could transport about 437 g of oxygen there, and that would be enough for less than 13 hours of breathing. "

"Blue Origin recently showed the Blue Moon lander exiting a vacuum chamber "

"engineers are looking with keen interest at such spots on the Moon that provide continuous access to sunlight, and such spots are, among others, at the poles, where there is access to sunlight for even 90, over 90% of the time. "

"The rising oxygen bubbles in one of our reactors show metals and metalloids being separated from oxygen. "

"To achieve this, Blue Origin used a process called electrolysis. Electrolysis is a chemical process that uses direct current to break down complex compounds into their basic elemental components. "

"3 Sigma means that the probability that a given signal is just random noise is really minimal. It's like flipping a coin and getting heads 10 times in a row. Well, we start to have great certainty that the throws are not random and there's something going on, even though it can, of course, happen. "

"If we split this light, we'll simply make a rainbow with a prism and see a spectrum, then we'll notice black stripes in it. These are like fingerprints of specific chemical compounds. "

"With data from the Hubble Space Telescope, water vapor has been detected in the atmosphere of an exoplanet within the habitable zone of its host star. K2-18b, which is eight times the mass of Earth, is the only planet orbiting a star outside the solar system (or “exoplanet”) known to have both water and temperatures that could support life. "

"The star, though small, is so violent that studying the atmospheres of its planets is an incredible challenge. Astronomers have studied this system multiple times, but without success. Now, a dozen additional observations have been planned using the James Webb Telescope, so we will soon learn more about this. "

"When a planet passes in front of its star, the light from that star passes through a thin layer of the planet's atmosphere before heading towards our telescopes. And now, different gases absorb different colors of light. "

"When astrophysicists discuss life on other planets, they are actually looking for something we call biosignatures. These are traces, hard evidence that life in the form we know it can exist there at all. "
