Welcome to Future Space World, a place where we connect the present with the future.
When you look at a world map today, you will see 7 continents including Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia/Oceania separated by different oceans. But do you know that these continents were once joined together as a single massive landmass? You are about to learn how all continents of Earth were…
For 54 years, the Moon watched us from a distance. We sent probes, orbiters, and rovers to study its surface — but no human being had looked back at Earth from beyond low orbit since the last Apollo astronaut splashed down in December 1972. However, that long silence ended on April 1, 2026, when NASA’s…
Can we manipulate gravity? Humans have desired to control gravity since the days of Isaac Newton in 1687. However, it was not until the early 1990s that scientists began to move closer to attempting this groundbreaking discovery. In 1992, Dr. Eugene Podkletnov, a Russian chemist and materials scientist, revealed that he had observed a small…
As we approach the future of building cities on the moon and Mars, we will likely see the need to establish the first space government and create laws for humans living in these futuristic cities. Currently aboard the International Space Station, astronauts from various countries are conducting multiple missions. Several countries have come together to…
Imagine it’s 2040, you just received your flight ticket to fly to the first city on the moon aboard the SpaceX Starship. You participated in several training sessions with the SpaceX and NASA team before your flight day. When your flight date finally arrives, you and other tourists dressed in sophisticated spacesuits hop onto the…
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…
Space rocks have been making their way into our home planet on various occasions. On February 12, at around 10 pm EST (0300 GMT, February 13), a space rock burned up through Earth’s atmosphere and made its way over Europe. A few hours after this dramatic event, a space-focus citizen science volunteer group found a…
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…
