Last week, I wrote about a problem with the launch of a Russian module to the International Space Station (ISS). They had engine/computer problems, but they managed to solve them and successfully rendezvoused with the ISS. Three hours after docking the new module suddenly fired its thrusters and sent the entire ISS spinning off course.
Russia launched its Nauka module into orbit yesterday to rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS). Unfortunately, a computer glitch prevented it from firing its main engines. When Nauka was unable to execute its first orbit-raising burn, there were concerns that the mission would fail.
The U.S. and other spacefaring nations including Russia are engaged in a new space race to establish manned bases on the Moon and Mars in the near future. Russia is planning to launch a nuclear-powered space tug on a trip to Mars. A nuclear power plant will be sent to Mars to supply power for a manned base that they are planning.

I have been posts a lot of articles lately about the race to create commercial nuclear fusion. A lot of companies and institutions are taking part in the research. Last year, I posted about a spin-off from M.I.T.’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center called Commonwealth Fusion Systems. Today I am posting an update on their research.
Ambient office = 128 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 123 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 122 nanosieverts per hour
Energy sources are a major topic of discussion for U.S. municipalities. Critics of many proposed projects believe that when it comes to the use of public funds, taxpayers and communities of states such as Utah should not act as venture capitalists for risky bets on untried energy systems. The Utah Associate Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) is recruiting towns and communities around the western U.S.
