Space: The Final Frontier. Exploring space developments and theorizing about how humans fit into the universe.
Impossibly possible
“Sound does not travel at all in space. The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound.” This is what you can instantly find when you Google search "Is there noise in space?" But it's not that simple. Space is not a complete vacuum, which makes sound travel possible, at least in theory here, a lot would seem to depend on the wave force.

How Much Do You Know About Black Holes?
Black holes are extremely dense points in space that produce large gravity sinks. Even light cannot escape the strong pull of a black hole's gravity once it reaches a specific area. And in a theoretical process fittingly known as spaghettification, anything that ventures too close, be it a star, planet, or spaceship, will be stretched and squished like putty.

A.I.den
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. Said. Everything is in the past tense for me now. Even if I’m not dead, I’m not alive enough to confirm or deny the above statement. Besides, “body” in “nobody” can't hear anything on its own since specific bio-neurological mechanisms are involved in functions of hearing, understanding, and interpreting the external information. Without this complex mesh of inter-related tools and systems, the body alone is useless.

Circadian Rhythms in the Cold
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. I had screamed for a little bit, but then that had stopped. My frantic breathing slipped into quiet sips of oxygen. I was cold, so cold. Still scattered around me, I saw the wreckage of Gaia, the ship that had been my home since I was an embryo in its lab. I had never known anything else. Three thousand of my siblings bore the same face as mine, the same eyes, same reserved smile and all had shared Gaia with me. Gaia was an oasis in the emptiness of the universe, a ship that had raised us, sheltered us and fed us. Gaia was our garden. Gaia was home.

The Curse of Immortality
How did I get here? Somewhere in a seemingly infinite dark void of what use to be space. I asked for this; I wanted this. Or at least I thought I did. But just like my first time volunteering for combat, I had no idea what I was in for. I thought about it constantly for the decade the process was underway. I thought I understood the risks, I thought I understood the concept of time. Years of injections to prepare my body for the procedure. All the warnings of different scenarios, like being trapped at the bottom of the ocean for eternity. Well, that is ridiculous because no ocean is eternal. But I should have headed the warning a little more cautiously.

Ad Astra Per Aspera 7
[Attention all personnel. Due to the unknown amount of time on planet, the dress code will be lifted to maintain a high morale. However, if it becomes a problem and people get too carried away, we will go back to the modified uniform regulation that was previously in place. That is all. Please enjoy the rest of your day.]

The Planet of Terror
In the past few weeks NASA has just discoverd a beautiful, blue coloured, new exo-planet far within deep space, far passed our galaxy (the milky way). More specifically, it is located sixty-four point five lightyears away, in the solar system of a contalation named "The Contallation of Vulpecula"; nicknamed "The Planet of Terror", or HD 198733b. Further more, this orbit is fifty-three hours, A.K.A: meaning that one one day on this planet is equel to two point two days on earth. With just this being said this planet is four point three plus two point eight GYR, making this is an absolute monster and nightmare of a planet; with no substainable ground, because covered by storm twenty four seven, this planet has a wind radious of two miles per second; not kilometers, but miles. This gas giant, is also close to the same size as juipiter, though Because of just this one statement for the weather system, it is like if the earth had stopped spinning, throwing eveything in its path. Though if you personally were on this planet you too would be thrown up to seven times the speed of sound, making this in its self one of the fastest and your body would absolutly explode just from the sheer force of those two facts of the planet hitting your body.
