How William Shatner Changed the World – Dr. Marc D. Rayman, Chief Propulsion Engineer, NASA, JPL
Dr. Marc Rayman discusses how StarTrek inspired him to create in real life what he saw on the show. HOW WILLIAM SHATNER CHANGED THE World reveals how scientists who were inspired by Star Trek as children are surpassing the science fiction vision of the future foreshadowed in the program. The two-hour High Definition special explores […]
NASA Connect – VASIMR
This is an educational video about an advance space propulsion system. This is for learning. If you don’t want to learn the pictures funny! An unmanned cargo capability based on VASIMR propulsion offers significant cost savings to NASA and commercial lunar exploration programs. VASIMR can deliver twice as much payload to the lunar surface, compared […]

Gravitec testing at NASA LEEIF of asymmetric capacitor 2
This shows the same vacuum test as before but illustrates the device used and the LEEIF vacuum chamber at NSSTC NASA.
Gravitec testing at NASA LEEIF facility of asymmetric capacitor
This was a pre-vacuum test done while the vacuum chamber was opend to the atmosphere. It shows the device powered and established a basis for determining vacuum results.

This compares the results of testing in vacuum on the left of the screen vs. air test on the right of the screen.
NASA – Dawn’s Mission to the Asteroid Belt
The Dawn spacecraft will employ ion propulsion to explore two of the asteroid belt’s most intriguing and dissimilar occupants: asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres. Dawn’s goal is to characterize the conditions and processes of the solar system’s earliest epoch by investigating in detail two of the largest protoplanets remaining intact since their formations. […]

NASA – Jupiter Icy Moons Orbitor ( JIMO ) cancelled 2005, Alien Life in Outer Space ?
The Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) was a proposed spacecraft designed to explore the icy moons of Jupiter. The main target was Europa, the suspected ocean of which is one of the places where simple alien life is a possibility in our solar system. Ganymede and Callisto, which are now thought to have liquid, salty […]
Wouldn’t this be a good start for NASA?
You know they put nuclear reactors in submarines. NASA should put a nuclear reactor in a space ship, and using the energy to create ion propulsion for the thrust. Wouldn’t that work out great?
