Tesla CEO Elon Musk says there’s a possibility cryptocurrencies could be utilized on Mars as he answers questions about what he would use on the planet.

means this food can also be grown in space, it added. "Now, researchers reporting in ACS Food Science and Technology have designed the optimal 'space meal': a tasty vegetarian salad. They chose fresh ingredients that meet male astronauts’ specialised nutritional needs and can be grown in space," the statement read.

Space.com, the NASA is planning to incorporate helicopter-like drones into future Mars missions. These are expected to be "built with designs more robust than their predecessor — which has completed 66 flights, and counting". The NASA said a new rotor, that could be used with next-generation Mars helicopters, was tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California on September 15 this year.

extraterrestrial space may not be as far away as we think. A group of researchers in China have seemingly created a miracle — a way to make oxygen on Mars. The team, based at the University of Science & Technology of China has come up with an AI-powered ‘robot chemist’ that might be able to extract oxygen from water on the red planet. According to a Nature.com report, the robot uses material found in the Mars soil to produce catalysts that break down water and release oxygen. “If you think about the challenge of going to Mars, you have to work with local materials,” TOLD Andy Cooper, a chemist at the University of Liverpool, UK in an interview with Nature. “So I can see the logic behind it.” The study was published in the Nature Synthesis journal and was led by Professor Jung Jiang. Jiang and his team used a mobile machine which was shaped like a refrigerator with a robotic limb to assess five meteorites that had originated on Mars or even if found on Earth, were believed to have resembled those on Mars. The team set out to discover if the machine could form catalysts from the material. The AI-powered tool used acid and alkali to dissolve the material and evaluate the compounds. This formed the basis for inventing a one-of-a-kind formula that could break down water and produce oxygen.

saxophone player Mars Williams has passed away at the age 68. He was known for his work as a member of the Waitresses and later the Psychedelic Furs. Williams' saxophone was a vital component of the Waitresses during their brief but influential two-album run in 1980–1983, as heard on deep cuts with a lot of saxophone, such as the title track of their «Bruiseology» LP, as well as the standout tracks «Christmas Wrapping,» «Square Pegs,» and «I Know What Boys Like.» Williams was approached by the Psychedelic Furs to fill in for their missing regular sax musician during an international tour in 1983, and this request led to a lengthy stint that lasted until 1989.

LONDON (Reuters) — British specialist chocolatier Hotel Chocolat agreed to a 534 million pound ($662 million) takeover offer from Mars Inc on Thursday, after the pair agreed the food giant was well-positioned to help the small retailer expand internationally.

Mars had the conditions to support microbial life. The car-sized rover has been gradually ascending the base of 5-kilometre-tall Mount Sharp, whose layers formed in different periods of Martian history and offer a record of how the planet's climate changed over time. It recently drilled its 39th sample and dropped the pulverised rock into its belly for detailed analysis. The sample was collected from a target nicknamed «Sequoia». Scientists hope the sample will reveal more about how the climate and habitability of Mars evolved as this region became enriched in sulphates — minerals that likely formed in salty water that was evaporating as Mars first began drying up billions of years ago. Eventually, Mars's liquid water disappeared for good. «The types of sulphate and carbonate minerals that Curiosity's instruments have identified in the last year help us understand what Mars was like so long ago.

The Web3 game Mars4, which allows players to explore the surface of Mars, has unveiled two new exclusive rovers inspired by Tesla's Cybertrucks.

Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, said the company could land a spacecraft on Mars three to four years from now. The suggestion was made as Musk appeared via videoconference Thursday at the International Astronautical Congress in Azerbaijan, along with other tidbits on the progress of Starship, a gargantuan rocket that SpaceX is developing.

Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) seems to have an interesting connection with Moon, Mars and now the Sun. The rocket made its maiden flight on October 22, 2008 for India's first interplanetary mission — the Moon Mission-1 or Chandrayaan-1. And on November 5, 2013, the rocket was used for India's first Mars Mission called Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM).Watch Aditya L1 mission live updates Nearly 15 years after its first flight and on its 25th mission, the rocket code named PSLV-C57 is being used for another interplanetary mission — to study the Sun- by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

A scientist in Germany has claimed that the US space agency NASA had discovered life on the Mars planet 50 years ago but accidentally destroyed it. Dirk Schulze-Makuch, astrobiology professor and faculty member at the Technical University Berlin said NASA's Viking programme, which started in the mid-1970s, unintentionally destroyed that opportunity. Under the Viking programme, NASA sent two landers to the Martian surface which showed the world the first glimpse of Mars's surface and also performed the biological analysis of its soil and rocks.

NEW DELHI : Private companies will be a major partner in India’s future space missions, including those to Mars and Venus, and India is not behind any world power, including China, in technical capability although the country needs to build scale, NITI Aayog member and defence scientist V.K. Saraswat said in an interview.

Mangalyaan in November 2013 with an objective of exploring Mars' surface, morphology, and mineralogy; studying the Martian atmosphere; testing interplanetary mission technologies and demonstrating India's space capabilities. With the mission, the objective of developing the technologies required for interplanetary missions was achieved.

Narendra Modi has long-term vision about the country's space sector and the ISRO is all ready to implement it On Saturday, PM Modi flew down to Bengaluru directly from Greece, to pay tribute to the ISRO scientists. "As far as we are concerned, not just the soft landing, but the entire aspects of the Chandrayaan-3 were 100 per cent successful.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has made a significant advancement and marked a turning point in the country's space efforts. This victory has given ISRO officials a newfound drive as they fervently prepare for their next challenging mission, one that intends to investigate the Sun, the fiery core of our solar system. The Aditya-L1 spacecraft, a remarkable venture as India's first space-based solar observatory, currently resides at the Sriharikota rocket port, meticulously undergoing preparations for its impending launch.

Mars might have shared more similarities with Earth than previously understood, potentially featuring distinct wet and dry seasons that could have supported life. Through the discovery of fossil evidence, researchers have unveiled indications of a cyclical climate on the Red Planet over three billion years ago, according to reports.

This marked only the 73rd ground level enhancement since records began in the 1940s, and none have been recorded since as reported by Geophysical Research Letters.

NASA collects rocks from the Isle of Rum to test and refine methods before bringing back samples from Mars through the Perseverance Rover mission in 2033. Rocks from Mars could offer insights into the planet's history and the possibility of past life, making Rum a critical location for sampling and analysis.
