NASA Is Funding the Projects of the Future

NASA Is Funding , the Projects of the Future.

Last week, NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program announced grants for 14 teams exploring high-risk, high-reward projects.

'Wired' reports that some of the projects, like a lunar oxygen pipeline or new building material for use on Mars, could be technological game changers.

These are things looking 20 to 30 years down the road to see how we could drastically improve or enable new types of NASA missions, Mike LaPoint, NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC), via 'Wired'.

The $175,000 grants will be used to lay out detailed plans, run tests and design new prototypes based off of Phase 1 projects.

The select few chosen to go on to Phase 2 will receive $600,000 for an additional two-year study.

A single exceptional project will then receive an award of $2 million to enter into another two-year long Phase 3 study.

According to 'Wired,' one of the most interesting projects is a proposal to build a habitat out of fungi and bacteria grown on the surface of Mars.

A University of Nebraska team is exploring the idea of self-growing building blocks using minerals formed within a bioreactor.

Another NIAC winner has proposed building a massive pipeline on the surface of the moon to deliver much-needed oxygen to astronauts on a future lunar base.

'Wired' reports that the new tech will create oxygen as a byproduct of mining for water ice utilizing a process called electrolysis

VIDEO: Meteorite Crash Sparks PANIC Across South Carolina, Georgia After 'FIREBALL' Seen In Sky

A fiery object spotted blazing through skies above South Carolina, Georgia, and nearby states on Thursday afternoon has triggered investigations and emergency responses across the region. Multiple fire departments in South Carolina’s Upstate launched searches for a possible meteorite crash site after 12:20 p.m. Witnesses described a bright "fireball in the sky," and in Georgia, one homeowner reported a rock crashed through their roof. Officials are working to determine whether the object was a meteorite — a space rock that survived atmospheric entry — and if it impacted any populated areas. #MeteoriteCrash #SouthCarolina #GeorgiaFireball #FireballSighting #SpaceRock #Meteor #Meteorite #NASA #BreakingNews #MeteorCrash #UpstateFireball #MeteorSouthCarolina #HenryCountyCrash #SpaceAlert #MeteoriteNews #MeteorSky #FireballWatch #EmergencyResponse #SpaceEvent #MeteoriteImpact Also Read Orionids meteor shower: When and Where to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/orionids-meteor-shower-when-and-where-to-watch-in-india-2965516.html?ref=DMDesc Chile: Oldest meteorite collection on Earth discovered in Atacama Desert :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/chile-oldest-meteorite-collection-on-earth-discovered-in-atacama-desert-2895379.html?ref=DMDesc Geminid Meteor Shower to peak tonight: Where and how to watch in India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/geminid-meteor-shower-peak-tonight-where-how-to-watch-india-2822045.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.346~

Strait Of Hormuz In CHAOS: Three Ships Ablaze Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Israel-Iran Conflict [Video]

Strait Of Hormuz In CHAOS: Three Ships Ablaze Near Strait Of Hormuz Amid Israel-Iran Conflict

Amid soaring Israel-Iran tensions, dramatic images on social media show three ships engulfed in flames off the Gulf of Oman near the critical Strait of Hormuz. While authenticity remains unverified, NASA’s FIRMS data also detected fires in the same zone. The area, a vital artery for global oil, has long been a flashpoint. No official Emirati response has surfaced yet. As Israel pounds Iran’s military sites, fears rise over possible retaliation through trade disruption, especially a blockade of Hormuz, which sees over 20 million barrels of oil pass daily. #IsraelIranTensions #StraitOfHormuz #GulfOfOmanFire #MiddleEastCrisis #OilTradeThreat #ShipFireGulf #HormuzBlockadeFears #FIRMSData #IranStrikeBack #IsraelIranWar #OilRouteAtRisk #GlobalOilSupply #MaritimeSecurity #TankerFirePhotos #UnverifiedImages #GeopoliticalFlashpoint #TehranVsTelAviv #HormuzCrisis #GulfMaritimeAlert #BreakingMiddleEast ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

Elon Buying Russian Rockets? Father Drops BOMBSHELL After Trump-Musk's Humiliating Public Face-Off

Errol Musk drops a bombshell, revealing that Elon Musk once tried to buy a Russian rocket—but was laughed off by officials who thought it was a joke. The anecdote uncovers Musk’s early obsession with Mars and his belief that “the best rockets are made in Russia.” Elon later confirmed this story during SpaceX’s early struggles. Amid rising tensions with Trump, Musk briefly threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft, risking NASA missions—before stepping back. #ElonMusk #ErrolMusk #RussianRocket #SpaceX #MarsMission #MuskRevealed #SpaceRace #NASA #TrumpVsMusk #RocketDeal #DragonSpacecraft #RocketScience #SpaceXOrigins #TechBillionaire #SpaceExploration #MuskOnMars #RussiaTech #Anecdote #BreakingNews #SpaceDrama #MuskVsTrump #RocketFail #RussianRejection #MarsAmbitions #MuskHistory #DragonThreat #SpacePolitics
