How NASA’s New Spacesuit Could Stall the 2024 Artemis Moon Landings
NASA is due to return to the moon in 2024 but before they can do that they will need the new spacesuits which they have been developing for 14 years, trouble is it looks like that’s not going to happen. In this video, we look at NASA’s spacesuit from Apollo to the ISS and why they need a new one, and why that causing such a problem.

How Did Apollo Avoid a Radiation Disaster?
Neil Armstrong’s biggest fear about the Apollo missions was a solar occurring during the mission and although none of the missions was affected by such an event they were lucky through timing rather than anything else. This video looks at what might have happened if they might not have been so lucky and how we are trying to mitigate such effects happening on the upcoming Artemis lunar program in 2024.

The Wild Weasels – When Electronic Warfare Became Real
In many ways, the story of the Wild Weasels is the story of the beginnings of electronic warfare between the radar crew on the ground and the weasels in the air. This was also the first time that electronics had been used to find targets actively during a mission rather than predetermined beforehand, and of course, this was matched only by the bravery of the men required to fly down a radar beam and put the site out of action before the missile got them.

How to Communicate Across the Quantum Multiverse
In the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, the universal wavefunction is the reality, encompassing all possible histories and futures and all exist. But we are only sensitive to a slice of the wavefunction corresponding to our “world”, and due to the superposition principle, our world can happily do its thing unperturbed by other parts of the wavefunction – other “ripples,” or worlds. And while it may seem like it would be physically impossible to have any connection between worlds, it may turn out to be entirely possible to communicate between them.

How Quantum Entanglement Creates Entropy
Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space-Time Discord! https://www.patreon.com/pbsspacetime Entropy is surely one of the most perplexing concepts in physics. It’s variously described as a measure of a system’s disorder – or as the amount of useful work that you can get from it – or as the information hidden by the system. Despite the seeming ambiguity in its definition, many physicists hold entropy to be behind one of the most fundamental laws of physics.

Can Space Be Infinitely Divided?
Sign Up on Patreon to get access to the Space-Time Discord! https://www.patreon.com/pbsspacetime How many times can I half the distance between my hands? Assume perfect coordination and the ability to localize my palms to the quantum level. 15 halvings get them to within a cell’s width. 33 to within a single atom, 50, and they’re a proton’s width apart. Half the distance 115 times and they’re a single Planck-length apart – 1.6×10^-35 meters. Surely we can keep going – .8, .4, .2 x10^-35 m? Bizarrely, those distances might not even exist in any meaningful way. Check out the Space-Time Merch Store https://www.pbsspacetime.com/shop Sign up for the mailing list to get…

A Universal Vaccine May Be Closer Than You Think
After the last year, we’ve seen just how progressive we can be at developing a vaccine. Never before have we made one so efficiently. But COVID has done more than just spark the development of COVID-specific vaccines, it has advanced the entire industry. So what will the vaccines of the future look like? Vaccinology is a discipline that is positioned at the focal point of immunology, virology, microbiology, public health, economics, sociology, ethics, and even international diplomacy. So when one thinks about the future of vaccines, one has to think about each of these elements, the future of each of these elements. And one of the most exciting developments for…

The Solar Car Revolution Could Change EVs Forever
Engineers are one step closer to harnessing the Sun to power your next car, giving the auto industry renewed interest in solar. In other words, the solar-powered car revolution is coming. For centuries now, countless inventors and innovators have tried to harness the power of the Sun. And today, the dream of using solar energy to power transportation is pushing automotive technology to its limits. But building a practical solar car–one that can actually compete with fossil fuel vehicles and today’s EVs–has never really seemed possible. Until now, you may have already seen solar cars with similar out-of-this-world designs before. But these vehicles aren’t just attention-grabbing concept cars or experimental…
