No, this is not an unsalted joke. A car that leaves behind not octane fumes, but the smell of the sea (well, at least imaginary). Do not pour gasoline or diesel into it, nor salt water directly. Although such technology might be able to stop sea level rise. A bone to gnaw on, scientists?

The 1985 film Back to the Future featured “footage from the future” that was pretty real at times, don't you think? Remember flying cars? Well, for now we can't see them in the sky, but soon you will be able to order a taxi service that will take you to the desired address by air. This time, Uber and Nasa joined forces and presented UberAIR, which is expected to fly in 2020.
Space salad? Even children would eat these types of vegetables. But so far, the honor has only gone to the astronauts on the International Space Station ISS, who set a new milestone by growing the first food in space (Project Veggie). It is a new step in training humans for a mission on Mars and an idea that has been toyed with in many films, the latest of which is The Martian.
50 years ago, on June 3, 1965, Ed White became the first NASA astronaut to perform a spacewalk. It lasted 23 minutes. For the Americans, the Gemini 4 mission several hundred kilometers above the Earth was a major turning point in space exploration, and White successfully tested the propulsion mechanism and space suit. And if you think you read about the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the first spacewalk months ago, your memory is correct. The first spacewalker was the Russian Alexei Leonov, who succeeded in his feat on March 18 of the same year.
NASA has unveiled the first prototype of its next-generation spacesuit, designed for the first astronauts expected to return to the lunar surface as part of the Artemis program. This newly designed suit is more streamlined, flexible and fits men and women better than the bulky, puffy white lunar suit worn by the Apollo astronauts. The new spacesuits, called the "Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit," or AxEMU for short, will include advances in life support systems, pressure suits and avionics.
Just when we thought that the northern lights (aurora borealis) couldn't get any more exciting, NASA surprises us with a video of this natural phenomenon, which has published a video showing the characteristic reddish-greenish light that usually illuminates the sky of the North and South Poles , we admire from the air, and in 4K technology. Check out what the Northern Lights look like from space!
Our space explorations are taking a new level with NASA's latest acquisition – the Lunar Terrain Electric Vehicle (LTV), which is being developed by Lunar Outpost in collaboration with big names like Lockheed Martin, General Motors, Goodyear and MDA Space. The vehicle, which forms a key part of Artemis' campaign to establish a permanent base on the Moon, promises to make exploration of this mysterious satellite faster, more efficient and safer.
Nasa's QueSST Passenger Jet will be the second supersonic passenger jet after the Concorde, which was retired in 2003, or the third if we include the Soviet Tupolev Tu-144 (1977), which was in commercial use for only seven months, which is a drop in sea compared to Concord's twenty-seven years of service. Since 2003, jet passenger planes have not been flying in the air, that is, planes that fly faster than sound, but thanks to the American space agency NASA, we are one step closer to the return of these steel birds. Namely, they unveiled the design for Concorde's successor, the QueSST Passenger Jet, a silent supersonic passenger jet, the first of NASA's upcoming new series of X-planes.
Women have played one of the key roles in the history of the space program. Nevertheless, their stories are too often silenced. Recently, the movie Hidden Figures said something, and now the Danish toy manufacturer Lego is also paying tribute to female astronauts, engineers and scientists and their contribution.
The US space agency Nasa has unveiled a new series of retro posters advertising trips to Jupiter, Mars and beyond. It is a continuation of last year's series of posters advertising space tourism and travel to distant worlds, created with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
NASA has unveiled a new generation of spacesuits, spacesuits, and Z-2s designed to walk on the Moon, Mars, and possibly some other extraterrestrial object where a spacecraft could land.
Whether there is life in the universe is a question that has plagued man for thousands of years. The American space agency Nasa is one step closer to the answer after it discovered substances on one of Saturn's moons (Enkelad) that indicate that there could be life on it, which means that there should also be conditions on it that would could make life possible.
