Dit is ons nieuw hondje Kira, een kruising van een waterhond en een Podenko. Ze is sinds 7 februari 2024 bij ons en druk bezig ons hart te veroveren. Het is een lief, aanhankelijk hondje, dat zich op een week snel aan ons heeft aangepast. Ze is heel vinnig en nieuwsgierig, een heel ander hondje dan Noleke.

    Into the Abyss: Astronomers Are Trying To “See” a Black Hole for the First Time Ever
     
    C. Malin ESO
    IN BRIEF
    • The Event Horizon Telescope Project is scheduled to take the very first snapshot of a black hole's event horizon by April 2017.
    • Sagittarius A, the black hole in the middle of the Milky Way galaxy, sits more than 25,000 light years away from Earth.

    PICTURE PERFECT

    Next year, a network of radio telescopes will do something that’s never been done before: capture a picture of the mysterious inside of Sagittarius A, the black hole in the middle of the Milky Way galaxy. The Event Horizon Telescope Project is scheduled to take the very first snapshot of a black hole’s event horizon by April 2017.

    Scientific American
    Scientific American

    The project consists of nine different observatories all over the world— located in the US, Chile, Spain, Greenland, France, and even the South Pole. And they’ll need all that power to get their shot.

    “There are quite a few challenges that need to be overcome to take a picture of a black hole – it’s something that’s extremely small in the sky,” says EHT team member Feryal Ozel.

    At 25,000 light years away, the black hole is just a pin prick. Ozel compares the size to us trying to see a CD sitting on our moon. To make it even more challenging, the black hole is surrounded by clouds of gas and dust.

    Astronomers had to determine the right wavelength of light they would use for the process. They settled on 1.3mm, which can pierce the black hole’s dust clouds, allow hot gasses to shine brightly, and travel easily through the atmosphere.

    PROVING PHYSICS

    The end goal of this is not just to take pretty pictures. Ultimately, the EHT will prove one of the most fundamental tenets of physics: general relativity.

    Einstein’s tenet says that black holes bend spacetime, and that we can calculate that bend. So the pictures we get from the EHT have to show a crescent, and it has to be bent the right way, or else something is wrong with our physics models.

    “We know exactly what GR predicts for that size,” Prof Ozel said – making this observation what scientists call a “null hypothesis test” of the theory.

    Ultimately, projects like the EHT allow us to prove what were only theories decades ago, and teach us a lot about the workings of the universe in the process.  Technology is helping us to better see (and understand) our universe.

    Paralyzed Monkeys Able to Walk Again With Brain Implant. Human Trials Are Next
    A neural interface helped a monkey walk again after its spinal cord was cut Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne
    Jemere Ruby
    IN BRIEF
    • Using a system of electrodes, transmitters, receivers, scientists were able to restore leg function in a primate, completely bypassing damaged nerves.
    • While this remarkable feat may be decades away from human use, it is a promising development for the hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. with spinal cord injuries

    Gregoire Courtine, a neurologist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, holds a silicone model of a primate's brain with an electrode array. The goal is to pick up signals from the brain and transmit them to the legs.

    Alain Herzog/EPFL

    INSTANT FUNCTION

    Electrodes implanted in the brain and spine have helped paralyzed monkeys walk. The neurologists behind the study reported that the implants restored function in the primates’ legs almost instantaneously. The findings are detailed in Nature

    The spinal cord of the subject monkey was partially cut, so the legs had no way of communicating with the brain. To mend the brain-spine interface, electrodes were placed on key parts of the monkey’s body. Implants were placed inside the monkey’s brain at the part that controls leg movement, together with a wireless transmitter sitting outside the skull. Electrodes were also placed along the spinal cord, below the injury.

    A computer program decoded brain signals indicative of leg movement and transmitted the signals to the electrodes in the spine. Within just a few seconds, the monkey was moving its leg. In a few days, it was walking on a treadmill.

    Alain Herzog/Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL)

    “The primate was able to walk immediately once the brain-spine interface was activated. No physiotherapy or training was necessary,” said Erwan Bezard, one of the authors of the study.

    PRIMATE-TO-PRIMATE

    This study is a massive breakthrough—it’s the first time implants have helped a primate walk. There has been much research to develop tech for paralyzed patients, but most lab trials were done on rodents. “It seems the principles learned in rats are now translating into primates,” said Jen Collinger, a University of Pittsburgh bioengineer.

    The results were astoundingly positive, but the researchers say that it will take at least a decade to fine-tune the technology for use in humans. Still, our bodies are greatly similar to that of monkeys, and the researchers believe transition could be quick.

    Exciting news about the study is that the components that the researchers used are legal for human use in Switzerland. The Swiss group of the study have started clinical trial with eight people with partial leg paralysis.

    We’re all eager for further development in the study—an innovation that could greatly change the lives of approximately 282,000 people in the U.S. with spinal cord injuries.

    Massive Base Complex Found In Tycho Crater In NASA Photo, Nov 2016, UFO Sighting News

    Date of discovery: November 2016
    Location of discovery: Tycho Crater, Earths Moon
    Source photo: http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/posts/933

    This amazing structure was found by Streetcap1. The building is on Earths moon and is one of the three types that I have often talked about. Type 1, the white ceramic structures (medium size and have 90 degree angles). Type 2 the large non reflective black structures (mountain size, but biomechanically grown and have curved edges most of the time). Type 3, the grey metallic structures (these are small, 100 meters or less and are most often near the edges of the large black structures and have 90 degree angles).

    Pinging In Arctic Detected By US Navy, Caused By Alien Underwater Base, Nov 2016, UFO Sighting News



    Date of discovery: Nov 2016
    Location of discovery: Arctic Ocean
    Source news: 
    http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/blogs/mysterious-ping-arctic-ocean

    Google Coordinates:  69°58'46.74"N   82°58'16.61"W



    A pinging sound was in the Hecla Strait, so I got out Google Earth and started looking for the alien base causing it. It took a whole 5 minutes, but I found it. Check out the buildings I found both on the land and mostly in the shallow water. The right angle of the buildings is unmistakably intelligently made. This is or at least was, an alien base, but since its still making a pinging noise...its probably still populated. The pinging could also be an old distress signal, accidntly set off from an invasion of privacy. Maybe a local accidentally found one of the thousands of underwater structure and entered, and this could set of an alarm. 
    Scott C. Waring-Taiwan

    News states:

    A strange "ping" is emanating from the Arctic Ocean, according to reports from hunters and boaters in Canada's Nunavut territory. The noise has been occurring for months, dating back to summer, and it correlates with fewer sightings of marine animals nearby. Some local hunters worry it's scaring away wildlife. Also described as a hum or beep, the mysterious sound seems to come from the seabed in the Fury and Hecla Strait, a narrow channel in the Qikiqtaaluk Region of Nunavut. It's a remote area, about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the hamlet of Igloolik, located within a stretch of open water surrounded by sea ice. Known as a "polynya," this type of habitat is normally a popular hangout for wildlife. "That's one of the major hunting areas in the summer and winter because it's a polynya," Nunavut legislator Paul Quassa tells the CBC. "And this time around, this summer, there were hardly any [animals]. And this became a suspicious thing." (More at Source).

    UFO Buzzes Over Washington DC On Day Trump Is Elected US President, Nov 9, 2016, UFO Sighting News


    Date of sighting:  Nov 9, 2016
    Location of sighting: Washington DC, USA

    This UFO was seen today over Washington and in one part of the video, the UFO comes into focus as it tilts slightly so we can see its top surface. Its a half disk shape and should not be over Washington without being intercepted by several F16s which watch this airspace. Apparently this UFO didn't show up on radar. US radar towers have not been updated much since its invention and need a serious upgrade to catch UFOs in US airspace. 


    Its my belief that this UFO was over Washington to see how Obama was taking the news of the next US president being Trump. Will Trump reveal UFO info to the public, or will he skirt this issue?

    Scott C. Waring-Taiwan

    China Sends a Team of Astronomers to New Antarctica Observatory to Probe Extraterrestrial Life

    antarctic-station

    China’s construction of an astronomical observatory is close to completion at the highest point on the Antarctic plateau as the 33rd Chinese expedition to the frozen continent starts. The missions to the South Pole hope to know the origin of dark matter and extraterrestrial life.

    Aboard the research icebreaker Xuelong (Snow Dragon) are four astronomers who have planned about 100 projects for the next nearly six months of travel. They have 20 days to work at Kunlun base, according to one of the scientists.

    Since 2007, China has sent astronomers every year to the region to build an observatory on Dome Argus, nearly 750 miles or 1,200 km from the nearest coast and around 4,093 meters or over 13,400 feet above sea level as the highest point.

    The Kunlun station was built in 2007, located 7.3 km from Dome Argus, where it has been preparing since for its observation center.

    With an automated astronomical observation platform at Dome Argus, the country is now planning to build a high-elevation Antarctic terahertz telescope.

    Experts claim that the discovery of alien buildings on the first rock from the Sun isn’t the first time.

    Pictures seem to show 17 structures in dome shape around the craters’ edges on Mercury.

    Bumps across the surface of the planet are found in photos taken from one of NASA’s orbiters.

    However, instead of considering them as natural formations, some UFO hunters believe these dome-shaped structures are of alien origin.

    Just last week, some extraterrestrial enthusiasts identified an alien moon base in pictures taken from lunar orbiter of NASA.

    Referring to the dome-shaped formations, truth seekers suggest these structures show something other than what scientists think.

    Mercury has temperature highs of about 900C and lows of -173C. Life, as we know it, would be almost impossible to exist in the smallest planet of the Solar System. Furthermore, liquid water cannot exist on its surface.

    The planet also experiences frequent solar storms and asteroid impacts.

    Government Asked Pilots Not To Discuss Their UFO Sightings With Media

    ufos-and-planes

    In the 1950s, UFO sightings reported by pilots – military or civilian – could be the biggest headache for the American Air Force to cover-up. Civilian UFO sighting reports could be questioned or even discarded because of the fact they don’t possess knowledge and expertise to come to conclusions about the UFO. This wouldn’t be the case if civilian and military pilots identified UFOs. However, according to many UFO conspiracy theorists, the American government was prepared for the latter scenario.

    The U.S. Air Force allegedly implemented the policy of silencing its Air traffic controllers and pilots. The Air traffic controllers and pilots who reported UFO sightings were reportedly provided with Communication Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sighting (CIRVIS), which detailed procedures to follow in case they encountered a UFO.

    The top U.S. Air Force officials allegedly had a meeting on February 17, 1954, with the representatives of the U.S. top airlines. Before the meeting took place, commercial pilots reported UFO sightings on the average of five to ten per night. Instead of sending reports about their UFO sightings directly to their companies, commercial pilots are instructed to report them to the nearest Air Force base or the Military Air Transport Service (MATS) intelligence in Washington.

    Pilots were also asked not to discuss their UFO sightings to the public or share them to the newspaper. Hundreds of pilots gathered together and protested against this government instruction. They even sent a petition to the government, but to no avail. Even at present, pilots are discouraged from discussing their encounters with UFOs to anyone from the media or press.

    How Rare Is a Supermoon, Really?

    How Rare Is a Supermoon, Really?
    On Sept. 27, 2015, the supermoon rises behind Glastonbury Tor in Glastonbury, England.

    This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Live Science's Expert Voices: Op-Ed & Insights.

    As an observational astronomer who teaches students about the behavior of the moon, I'm thankful for anything that inspires people to go out and look at the sky. For me it's second nature to pay attention to the moon; when my son was born, I would take him out at night to observe with me, and one of his very first words was "moon."

    But I have mixed feelings about what's being billed as the upcoming "super-supermoon." Many astronomers do not like using the term because reports overhype the factors that make certain full moons unusual. Most of what you've likely read has probably misled you about what you can expect to see on Nov. 14 and just how rare this event is. Beautiful, yes. Worth looking up for, definitely. Once in a lifetime… that's a bit overblown.

    Just about everyone is familiar with the moon's changing appearance as it goes through its phases from crescent, to half-illuminated (first quarter), to gibbous, to full, and then back through gibbous, to half-illuminated (third quarter), to crescent, to new.

    This pattern occurs because the moon orbits the Earth. When the moon is between the Earth and sun, it's a new moon, and you don't see it that day. When the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun we get a full moon as the sun's light illuminates almost its entire face. The complete sequence of phases takes about the same amount of time as it does for the moon to orbit the Earth once — just about a month.

    As the moon makes its monthly trip around our planet, it travels on an elliptical, not circular, path. Every object in the solar system orbits like this, including the Earth around the sun; over the course of the year, the Earth is sometimes closer to the sun and sometimes more distant. Same for the moon — sometimes it's closer to us and sometimes farther away.

    The changes are proportionally not large; at "perigee" (the closest it gets to the Earth) the moon's approximately 10 percent closer to the Earth than at "apogee" (most distant point on its orbit). Over the year, the moon's distance from Earth varies from around 222,000 to 253,000 miles.

    The time it takes the moon to go from perigee to perigee (about 27.3 days) is shorter than the time it takes to go through a complete set of phases (about 29.5 days). Because these timescales are different, the phase at which perigee occurs varies. Sometimes perigee occurs when the moon is full, but it is just as likely for perigee to occur when the moon is in the first quarter phase, or any other. Whichever phase the moon is in when it's at perigee will be the one that looks largest to us here on Earth for that month.

    At perigee, the moon can appear 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than an apogee full moon. But this is complicated by the fact that our eyes play tricks on us and convince us the moon looks larger when it is near the horizon than when it is higher in the sky. Every full moon will look big and bright whether it happens at perigee or apogee.

    The first time I heard the phrase "supermoon" was in 2011, and someone had to explain the suddenly in vogue term to me. People were using it to describe the full moon that happened to occur within an hour of perigee in March of that year. The moon's perigee distance also varies a bit, and March 2011 was the moon's closest perigee of that year.

    This was a somewhat rare event – a full moon occurring not just at perigee, but at the closest perigee of the year. But many people got the impression that this was an exceedingly unusual event, and rushed to see and capture images of this supposedly ultra-rare moon. Depending on how closely you require the full moon to occur to perigee in order to call it a supermoon, though, these events happen at least roughly once a year, and often more frequently.

    Which brings us to this month's much ballyhooed "super-supermoon." News stories are hyping the upcoming full moon as a once-in-a-lifetime viewing opportunity. It's true that the Nov. 14 full moon is the closest since 1948, and the next time the full moon will be closer is in 2034.

    But this month's full moon is only 0.02 percent closer – a mere 41 miles! – than the March 2011 supermoon. These tiny distances make no noticeable difference in the moon's appearance.

    Please do go out and observe the November full moon. If you are good with photography, try to document that the moon does appear larger than the other months this year. Just be aware you'll have other virtually equivalent opportunities to do so pretty much every year for the rest of your life. So don't worry if you miss it. You can catch the supermoon next time around.

    UFO News 2016: The Latest Sightings and Signs!

    UFO News 2016 new sightings of UFOs and aliens

    Do UFOs exist? Are aliens real? Could there be aliens living among us? These questions have been plaguing us for many centuries, even thousands of years. UFO news 2016 reports claimed of a “disk-like” UFO passing the moon, raising opinions that aliens were investigating the moon.

    HOLLYWOOD STAR CAUGHT A UFO SIGHTING

    UFO news 2016 reports on child actress Rowan Blanchard sighting of a UFO in New York City. She published a photo on her Instagram where she caught a UFO sighting on her phone.

    Girl Meets World Rowan Blanchard said on her Instagram post, “Say what u will but that thing was just appearing in the photo and wasn’t physically there.” Her photo shows an alien-like spaceship glowing in the clouds.” Whether it’s an alien ship or not, it is up to the viewers to decide.

    MULTIPLE UFO SIGHTINGS OVER THE YEARS?

    Meanwhile, UFO Chronicles posted a tweet about a UFO sighting in 1984 of a “flying saucer.”

    Reports claim that aliens have visited our planet and could be living among us, but that has not been confirmed nor debunked yet. UFO Sightings posted this picture of an alien in Twitter with a caption “Area 51 Scientist Smuggles Alien Photograph, Explains On His Deathbed Aliens Are Real.”

    Although this has not been confirmed with evidence or declared edited, this is an interesting picture that could possibly reveal more about aliens.

    The Courier reports UFO news 2016 of sightings and aliens living among us. It says that the UFO sightings on Falkland specifically “On September 23, 1996, two adults, a teenager and a 10-year-old driving near Newton of Falkland claimed they saw not only a large black triangular shaped ‘craft’ but numerous small grey ‘beings’ in front of some woods.”

    There were also reports of aliens trying to contact us. Mirror reports about a Russian telescope receiving alien broadcast signals from outer space.

    “A Russian radio telescope discovered the signal coming from a star in deep space, raising the possibility of intelligent life beyond Earth…Strange signals are thought to be coming from the star HD164595, which is located in the Hercules star constellation,” Mirror reports.

    There is not much solid evidence about aliens and UFOs until now. The strange sightings still cannot be substantially explained by science as public records can show. Do you know any UFO news 2016 story that seems authentic? Let us know in the comments section.

    What is a UFO? Basic Facts and History

    Unidentified Flying Objects and Conspiracy Theories

    UFO Definition - B J Booth-

    A UFO is technically an "unidentified flying object," nothing more nor less.

    Any object that flies and cannot initially be identified as an airplane, helicopter, blimp, balloon, kite, or any other object that normally flies, is a UFO. Many flying objects that are listed as a UFO can later be identified as an object made on Earth, then they can be called an "IFO," or identified flying object.

    What is a UFO? Let's Look at the Basics

    For many years now, UFOs have been identified as "flying saucers," or disc-shaped objects. But in reality, any flying object — in any shape — that occurs on earth and not readily identifiable as being a natural phenomenon or man made is referred to as a UFO.

    The term UFO was created in 1953 by the United States Air Force, according to worldUFOday.com, a website dedicated to sharing factual and helpful information about the subject of UFOs. The US Air Force is said to have created the term UFO to keep track of the the many unidentifiable aircrafts and missiles that were being tested by countries involved in the Cold War.

    As a matter of national security, any UFOs seen in the skies were intensely logged and reviewed to keep track of all of these airborne objects being tested during that time.

    Even though the term UFO may have been created as a matter of national security, the term has also come to refer to flying objects that may have been created by extraterrestrial life — many people immediately classify UFOs with alien spacecrafts or alien life.

    Conspiracy Theories Surrounding UFOs

    Many conspiracy theories exist around the topic of UFOs, with many people believing that the government has long tried to hide evidence of extraterrestrial life and their flying vessels. Much speculation has been made around the following reports involving UFOs.

    The 1947 Roswell UFO Crash Reports of a crashed alien craft in Roswell, New Mexico left many of the general public feeling that the long awaited proof of extraterrestrial intelligence had come — but hopes were soon dashed, as an earlier statement about a crashed saucer was changed to nothing more than a crashed weather balloon. This proved unbelievable to the public, leaving many suspicious of a government coverup as there were too many witnesses who claimed to have seen the crashed UFOs and alien bodies.

    Did President Eisenhower Meet with Alien Beings? Rumors and conspiracy theories point to President Dwight Eisenhower being whisked away in 1954 in a hastily arranged trip to see an alien craft and its wreckage. The location for this alleged clandestine meeting was Edwards Air Force Base.

    1980-Cash/Landrum UFO Encounter Two women and one child encountered a craft of unknown origin, and all three suffered not only emotional trauma, but severe physical injury as well in the Piney Woods of Texas, near the town of Huffman on December 29, 1980.

    1997-The Phoenix Lights Thousands of people witnessed V-shaped patterns in the sky for space of around 300 miles from the Nevada line in 1996. Numerous photographs, and an abundance of video film make this one of the best documented cases in UFO history.

    Every year, new reports are made about UFO sightings all around the world. For more information on other cases involving extraterrestrial sightings read The Best Documented UFO Cases and be sure to read on you if are looking for answers to your questions about UFOs & Aliens.

    NASA May Have Just Accidentally Discovered Faster than Light Travel

    Long home to science fiction, traveling faster than the speed of light is quite commonplace as heroes and villains alike zip around their galaxy in an effort to engage each other.  It has become so popular, in fact, that you would be hard pressed to find anyone on Earth that didn't know about the concept.  Now it seems that scientists could have accidentally brought the notion of faster than light travel out of the realm of science fiction and into real science.

    The idea of traveling to other planets at speeds much faster than light has seemed impossible for a long time.  If only it were possible, planet to planet exploration would be almost instantaneous and open the galaxy up for man to explore.

    However, much of the scientific community has long believed that traveling at speeds faster than light is physically impossible, no matter the material, and accelerating something to those types of speeds simply can't happen.

    But, there are those in the scientific community that do believe that faster than light travel is possible, and one team may have just accidentally stumbled onto faster than light travel.

    A team of researchers at NASA unintentionally accelerated particles to faster than light speeds using the EmDrive resonance chamber.  If their findings turn out to be accurate, the team may have just discovered faster than light travel.

    The EmDrive is a proposed method of interstellar propulsion and could even end up being the engine that propels starships through the galaxy in the future.  There are many advantages to using this engine.  It's electrically powered, it doesn't have any moving part and doesn't require any material fuel to move.  If it does work as planned, there is a good shot that this could be the first steps in the design of a brand new engine.

    NASA is currently studying the new technology for future use, but no one expected these types of results.  When the team of researchers fired lasers into the resonance chamber, the particles were accelerated to astronomical speeds, with some even exceeding the speed of light.

    "...this signature (the interference pattern) on the EmDrive looks just like what a warp bubble looks like. And the math behind the warp bubble apparently matches the interference pattern found in the EmDrive." 

    So what does this mean for space travel as we know it?  Well, it is possible that NASA accidentally created a warp bubble that could, in theory allow for fast travel between the planeets of our solar system and beyond.  While it sounds like something out of Star Trek, it is indeed now a part of real science.  If the EmDrive were able to create a stable warp bubble, traveling the stars will become easier than ever and could propel the human face to where no one has gone before.

    NASA EM Drive One Step Closer To Reality: Warp Drive Theoretically Possible, But Don't Hold Your Breath

    By James Maynard Tech Times

    Faster-than-light travel may be a possibility after an accidental discovery by NASA scientists, but researchers are cautioning observers not to get too excited about taking a week-long trip to Alpha Centauri just yet. The new engine technology — once believed to be impossible — is now successful in tests for the third time.

    Faster than light travel was thought to be impossible, but new research shows how it might be acheived. Of course, nothing is official. 

    NASASpaceflight.com ) 

    The electromagnetic (EM) propulsion drive, or EM Drive, which might make hyperspace travel possible bounces microwaves within a closed container in order to provide thrust. This very notion appears to be contrary to some of the most basic laws of physics, including Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. Traditional rocket engines are driven by this tenet of physics — as propellant is accelerated out through the exhaust of an engine, the movement creates an opposite reaction pushing the spaceship forward.

    Albert Einstein is among the scientists best known for outlining reasons that traveling faster than the speed of light should be impossible — among other problems, the mass of an object increases with velocity. A spaceship accelerating to the speed of light would add an infinite amount of mass, making it impossible to propel.

    British engineer Roger Shawyer first proposed the idea of an EM Drive about 15 years ago, but it was greeted with extreme skepticism by scientists who declared the principle of the device to be unfounded. However, in 2010, Chinese physicists reported they observed an accelerating force in such a device, an experiment confirmed by NASA in 2014. Neither of those experiments was conducted in a vacuum, leading some researchers to believe the purported effect was just the result of experimental error.

    Eagleworks Laboratories, which carries out Advanced Propulsion Physics Research for NASA, has now carried out the third successful test of an EM Drive in a hard vacuum. The results were the same as the earlier experiments, showing the production of a force that could result in an acceleration.

    Using such an engine could propel spacecraft from the Earth to the moon in four hours, or to Mars in just 70 days. This would allow space travelers to spend 90 days on the Red Planet before returning home.

    "While the fast Mars transits that Q-Thruster technology [EM drive] could enable would be revolutionary, the independence from the limitations of departure and arrival windows may ultimately be more so," researchers report.

    Amateur and professional physicists gathered together online to analyze the results of the experiment, although no official statement from NASA has been issued.

    Applications for such an engine are not limited to faster-than-light travel. Such engines, without the need for propellant, could keep the International Space Station (ISS) in orbit without the need for intermittent boosts in altitude. Replacing a traditional propellant system on an average geostationary satellite would reduce the mass needed to be launched into space from 3 tons to 1.3 tons, significantly reducing costs.

    The experiments are still a long way from powering spacecraft, but another Star Trek technology may one day become real.

    Artist's concept of possible exploration of the surface of Mars.
    Genetically Engineered Bacteria Will Get Construction Jobs on Mars

    Cement might be a thing of the past if bacteria have their way.

    Jacqueline Ronson

    Every building starts with a strong foundation — pouring concrete into a hole, constructing on top of it. But according to Martyn Dade-Robertson, the buildings on Mars won’t follow that formula, instead relying on colonies of genetically-engineered bacteria to be our de facto architects.

    Dade-Robertson — professor of architectural design at Newcastle University — might seem crazy, but he’s onto something: Humans have always been playing catch-up to the construction genius of microbes. The plaque on your teeth is a structure built by bacteria, and we all know how sturdy and resistant it is against intruders. The planet’s youngest fossils are structures built by microbial colonies, called stromatolites. Even our most modern construction techniques rely on the labor of much simpler organisms: Cement is derived from calcium carbonate produced by living things like corals and mollusks — without them, we’d have no concrete, no cities. “Civilization is literally built on the fossils of sea creatures,” writes Dade-Robertson and colleagues in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society.

    So why not cut out the middlemen? Could we inject bacteria directly into the soil, and have it consolidate the soil into a sort of concrete, in response to the pressure from the house sitting above? Maybe. “From our work we know that there are a number of genes (over 100) whose regulation is changed as they come under pressure,” Dade-Robertson tells Inverse by email. “These genes are controlled by genetic switches so we have been looking for genetic switches which can be turned on or off. We can then use these genetic switches to turn on other genes which, for example, would synthesize materials — inducing calcium carbonate formation, for example.”

    Bacteria in the soil responds to pressure, and the foundation builds itself.
    Bacteria in the soil responds to pressure, and the foundation builds itself.

    This isn’t science fiction. Already, a company called BioMason is making bricks cured by bacteria rather than heat. The process produces no carbon dioxide emissions — and the energy savings are enormous. Only the fossil fuel industry is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the construction industry, worldwide. Another group out of Newcastle University has engineered BacillaFilla— a strain of bacteria that can live in a dormant state in concrete, awakening in the presence of cracks to spur the structure to repair itself.

    Here on Earth, these technologies could be game-changers. On Mars, they might be our only option.

    Transporting construction materials to build colonies on Mars is inefficient, estimated to cost about $50,000 per pound, and lacking (to the best of our knowledge) the fossilized remains of sea creatures, the ingredients for cement won’t be naturally available.

    But bacteria isn’t heavy, and under the right environmental conditions, they can be willing conspirators in the construction of a new world. Dade-Robertson admits his bioengineered foundations are still a ways away from reality here on Earth, let alone in extraterrestrial space. There are technical challenges to overcome: his test-case bacteria, E. coli, wouldn’t much like a soil environment, so that will have to be swapped out. Then there’s getting it to produce the right sort of material in the right quantity at the right pressure.

    Of course, there will be political, legal, and ethical complications, too. “Do people want genetically engineered microorganisms in their environment?” he asks. “Will governments legislate for it? These are questions that are at the forefront of our mind.” It’s certainly illegal, at least for the time being, to seed Mars with alien life forms from Earth.

    Maybe in 20 years we’ll see some working form of bioengineered foundations for Earth-bound homes, Dade-Robertson says. These wouldn’t just save energy, they could actually be carbon-negative, since the production of calcium carbonate sequesters carbon dioxide.

    The amazing thing about imagining how we might build on Mars is how it expands our minds in terms of the possibilities here on Earth. In the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Dade-Robertson and his coauthors point out that the point is to consider the future in a greater scope: “Ultimately, considering the challenge of new types of material and construction techniques is not only of practical use to the future colonizers of Mars, but also encourages us to think in new ways about the colonization of our own planet.”
