This means that astronauts may not be tied to visiting the lunar south pole on future missions to acquire water. Instead, they may be able to find water everywhere on the Moon.
When considering human settlements on the Moon, Mars and further afield, much attention is given to the travel times, food and radiation risk.
Everyone knows that no object can travel faster than the speed of light. But warp drives may offer a workaround. By warping spacetime itself, a spacecraft with a warp drive wouldn't be breaking the faster-than-light (FTL) rule.
Solar sails are an enigmatic and majestic way to travel across the gulf of space.
SpaceX's Starship rocket, designed to eventually send astronauts to the moon and beyond, completed nearly an entire test flight through space on its third try on March 14, getting farther than ever before, but disintegrated on its return to Earth.
