Steam-Powered Spacecraft Could Explore the Stars ‘Forever’
When sending spaceships out to explore the solar system, scientists are limited by how far the ship’s fuel can take them. One novel solution being explored is a steam-powered craft that mines water on planets, comets or asteroids as it goes, which advocates say can theoretically explore space “forever.” Jules Verne would be so proud. Scientists at the University of … Continue reading

He was very skeptical of non-mainstream work, and was the same when it came to many topics within the realm of parapsychology. Almost 20 years later, we now have substantial evidence to confirm that various phenomena within the realm of parapsychology are indeed real. Some … Continue reading

Earth’s Magnetic Field Heading for Cataclysm According to Study… What Would Happen?
As Earth’s magnetic shield fails, so do its satellites. First, our communications satellites in the highest orbits go down. Next, astronauts in low-Earth orbit can no longer phone home. And finally, cosmic rays start to bombard every human on Earth. This is a possibility that we may start to face not in the next million years, not in the next … Continue reading
