As early as March 2026, four astronauts will travel farther from Earth than any humans in more than fifty years — looping beyond the far side of the Moon and back on a ten-day mission that will determine whether America can return to deep space. This is not a lunar landing. It's something more fundamental: a systems trial by fire, designed to validate — or expose — the engineering decisions that will shape the future of human exploration. This book is your guide to understanding what's about to happen and why it matters.

This week I'm reading from Bruce Rapuano's book 'Dominion Lost: A Scientist's Own Alien Encounters'.This bombshell nonfiction book, recently discussed by the author with George Knapp on Coast to Coast AM, is the only first-person account to date of UFO alien abductions authored by a mainstream American scientist. The author, who has multiple degrees in neuroscience, goes on the record regarding his incredible and fascinating experiences with UFO close encounters, including a very close encounter during which he was abducted from a group of eight other witnesses, interactions with alien beings ...

"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

"The Universal One" by Walter Russell is an ambitious and comprehensive work that endeavors to blend the realms of science, philosophy, and spirituality into a singular, cohesive theory of the universe.

How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.

The #1 New York Times bestseller from David McCullough, two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize—the dramatic story-behind-the-story about the courageous brothers who taught the world how to fly—Wilbur and Orville Wright. On a winter day in 1903, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, two...

Mercury, a lifeless victim of the Sun’s expanding power. Venus, once thought to be lush and fertile, now known to be trapped within a toxic and boiling atmosphere. Mars, the red planet, doomed by the loss of its atmosphere. Jupiter, twice the size of all the other planets combined, but insubstantial. Saturn, a stunning celestial beauty, the jewel of our Solar System. Uranus, the sideways planet and the first ice giant. Neptune, dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds. Pluto, the dwarf planet, a frozen rock.

Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later.
