Space: The Final Frontier. Exploring space developments and theorizing about how humans fit into the universe.
Intertwined: The Past. The Present. The Future
What can you say about human life. It is the year 2021. Wars seem to be fought on the cyberspace. The race for control over the vacuum of space begins for human beings. while other civilizations outside of this earth, outside of this system of planets; have managed to control and manipulate matter and anti-matter combined. There is no telling what forces out there exist. And the history of time has been a blur..... till now.

Space Debris: A Worsening Problem
Ever since satellites have been launched in outer space, both opportunities and risks have increased in the various earth orbits. For more than 50 years, more than 5000 rockets have been launched carrying multiple space objects, mainly satellites into orbit. Today most of these objects are either turned backed to earth or continue to revolve in earth orbits, ultimately increasing the risks for existing and future space infrastructure in low earth- (LEO), medium earth- (MEO), and geosynchronous earth (GEO) orbits.

Space Wolves
Riley found the body heading home from the desalination plant. Denim-clad legs jutted into the path from behind the crumbling block of the twenty-first century building the plant workers used as a makeshift bar. The harsh rays of daylight ensured no one was around but her. Most people on Earth didn’t have her tolerance for solar radiation. Riley, however, had spent the first eight years of her life in space—born during her dad’s ten-year rotation on a space station. There hadn’t been any ozone to shield her from radiation exposure there.

The Long Passage
As far as prisons go, it isn’t a bad one. But that’s the thing, prisons have a way of glorifying the mundane. The greatest smoke you’ll ever have won’t be of the finest tobacco, blended and rolled to perfection. No, it’ll be the one desperation calls for. She’ll have you on your knees, cut off from tasting her sweet lips. Then, and only then, when you’d do anything for even a smell of her skin, she’ll allow you to have your way with her. It’s short-lived, however. The moment is over as soon as it starts, leaving the empty, lonely gap between where you are and where you want to be, wider.

A Fall Through the Atmosphere
News filtered through around 3 a.m. on the Mess Hall radio in garbled fragments, though between thick static and the lashing of the rain on deck above, much had been lost. The few words clear enough to discern pointed towards some disaster overhead.

Why Is the Night Sky Dark? The Profound Solution to Olbers’ Paradox
Although it’s now attributed to Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers, a 19th century German astronomer and physician, this paradox has perplexed people for centuries. Numerous well-known people have tried to unravel it, including Kepler, Lord Kelvin, and even Edgar Allan Poe, but it wasn’t until the advent of modern cosmology that we figured it out.
