Very often such choices are driven by the evolution of social and international relationships, rather than by a reasoned and motivated rationale. There is Read More
Art and Illustration play an important role in the world of aerospace engineering. Envisioning advanced aerospace concepts and operations facilitates the systems engineering process. Visually communicating such complex ideas also enhances public awareness, understanding and engagement, and inspires future generations. I will show how I managed to blend art and engineering to great advantage throughout Read More
The Working Group on Space Resources under the United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UN COPUOS), presents an opportunity for a legally binding instrument to develop under the auspices of the United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNOOSA), and do so in a manner favorable to space resource utilization Read More
This title is not a new project for terraforming Mars or a "Plan B" for the time after the climate catastrophe. The title describes the anachronistic activity of traditional globe making. Admittedly, this craft seems out of time in times of Google Maps and GPS navigation. So why learn anything about traditional globe making? In Read More

Is there, or was there life anywhere else out there in the Solar System? This question could indeed be answered in our time. The spacefaring nations and organizations sent and send super high-tech spacecraft to our neighboring planet Mars where scientists think the life had good chances to exist in the past, or even today.

The Cosmic Zoo hypothesis states that if life originates on a planetary body it will eventually evolve to become complex, meaning plant- and animal-like, if the planet or moon stays habitable long enough (in general billions of years). Multiple biochemically pathways have been invented through natural selection to arrive at Earth´s biosphere as it is Read More
SRI supports peaceful, civilian expansion into outer space. But there is another point of view about space and expansion into it, not just as peaceful. Geopolitics is the study of international relations in consideration of geography – that is, how human as well as physical geography affects the relations among states and state-like organizations.
