Andromeda, Pisces … I trawled the constellations, mind abandoned, still aware in some curve at the back of my brain that the world is coming apart at the seams and we’re all fucked, and enjoying […]
Read More The Moon is Full of MoneyThe latest development from a collaboration between 3D Systems and Airbus proves that space is the place for 3D printing. In the redesign of a radio frequency (RF) filter engineers have managed to bypass surface topology concerns and cut the weight of a part by 50%. The metal component is now the first tested and validated part of […]
Read More Airbus Sets Sights on Space with 3D Printing#30days30authors I should have posted this hours ago, but I’m trying to make a deadline. Here’s an excerpt from my hard sci-fi project! “I can’t believe we’re finally decelerating!” Bianca sighed over morning coffee in the lounge.

By Lewis Darnell As an astrobiologist I spend a lot of my time working in the lab with samples from some of the most extreme places on Earth, investigating how life might survive on other worlds in our solar system and what signs of their existence we could detect. If there is biology beyond the […]
