Slashdot reader DevNull127 writes: Scientists were able to, for the first time, measure radiation levels on the lunar surface, reports UPI, and nine days ago they published their results: that the radiation levels on the moon are 200 times stronger tha… Continue reading Researchers Finally Measured Radiation Levels On the Moon. They’re High.
The Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) has conceived some of the most interesting architecture projects we’ve seen on land, and even water, but its latest design is out of this world – literally. It involves the development of 3D-printed Moon habitats that coul… Continue reading BIG shoots for the Moon with 3D-printed lunar habitat plan
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has outlined a vision to become just the fourth nation to land on the lunar surface, announcing plans to develop and launch an Emirati-built rover by 2024. If successful, it will see the UAE become the first Arab country … Continue reading UAE plans first Arab mission to the Moon for 2024
