Welcome to Future Space World, a place where we connect the present with the future.
If we can travel at the speed of light, we will orbit Earth about 7.5 times per second, travel to the moon in only 1.3 seconds, and to Mars in 3 minutes. We could even arrive at our nearest star system, Alpha Centauri in only 4.3 years. Now imagine all the exciting stuff we will…
If you have seen the Pale Blue Dot image of Earth, you may have always wondered about the inspiring story behind it. The Pale Blue Dot is simply an image of Earth captured by NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft on Feb. 14, 1990. However, we would not have seen such an inspiring image if not for…

Have you ever imagined humans living permanently on the lunar surface without needing to visit Earth for resupplies after we colonize the moon? Thinking about this future may appear like something taken from science fiction stories. However, the fact remains that humans are going back to the moon to stay there permanently. NASA promised to…
Unlike a Type I or K1 civilization that can control only planetary energies, a Type 2 civilization has advanced enough that they now have the capability to control their solar system. This advanced civilization can harness the solar power output of a star, and possibly travel to other solar systems to build and harness their…
Have you ever imagined a future where humans would explore space with spaceships powered by antimatter? Of course, many people will call this a utopian dream. However, some scientists have already proven the theoretical possibility of an antimatter rocket. Aside from the theoretical findings, can we actually create and use antimatter rockets in the future?…
On March 14th, 2002, Elon Musk founded SpaceX to colonize Mars before 2054. Over the years, the aerospace company recorded several failures before succeeding with its first mission on December 23, 2008. From the onset, Elon Musk’s plan for manned mission to Mars has centered on launching hundreds of starships, humanoids, and astronauts to start…
Attaining interstellar space travel appears quite impossible to many people. However, most of these people who don’t believe in the future of going interstellar are yet to realize how fast we are progressing as a civilization. We have already sent two spacecraft into the Interstellar space. Voyager 1, the first humanmade object to leave the…
