A one-off magazine published by the British Interplanetary Society in January 1935 to replace their Bulletin and Journal. An index can be found Bulletin of the British Interplanetary Society here . On the last page it announces a forthcoming article entitled "The Problem with Mars" by Arthur C. Clarke .

Engineers have a saying: "Put two engineers in a room and they will come up with three ways to do something." There are many, many ways to build a space transport, and most of them will in fact work. But some may be less risky than others, or less expensive to build or to operate. Currently, many engineers believe that ballistic space vehicles are in our near-future. These designs are like the ...

Safety is on everyone's mind after the Challenger and Columbia disasters, so you can be confident that there will be a lot of testing and experimentation before you fly on any space vehicle. Just as with airplane development, engineers follow carefully thought-out rules before putting people on any type of flying machine. ---- Answer provided by David Gump & Gary Hudson Image:K2S ...

Most scientists believe that life does exist elsewhere but the question of intelligent life is still unanswered. The timetable for human expansion into space would make your generation one of the first explorers since we are not planning on reaching Mars with human teams until about 2030. Space is big. It can hold as many people as we can find the technology to put there. ---- Answer provided ...

A simple spacecraft might take as little as six months to design and build. Large, manned spacecraft might take about three to five years using modern methods. By comparison, the first Apollo took about four years to build in the 1960s. The first Shuttle took about nine years to complete in the 1970s. ---- Answer provided by Jon H.

Research performed in space involves all areas of scientific and technical inquiry. Those areas range from astronomy—like, how does a black hole form?—to zeolites—how do we create better chemical reaction catalysts? As many missions are planned to answer questions that affect our daily lives here on Earth as are planned to answer questions about the rest of the Universe. ---- ...

Would the amount of time it takes to get to space from Earth be the same, no matter where the launch sites are located? If you wanted to just 'get into space'—to an altitude of greater than 62 miles—then it would take exactly the same time from any location to just travel vertically upwards until 62 miles was reached. However, generally you would want to head for a particular ...
