Why NASA Is Lighting Fires on the Moon: The Gravity Blind Spot in Spacecraft Safety Standards

NASA is preparing to deliberately ignite fires on the lunar surface. The Flammability of Materials on the Moon (FM2) experiment, developed by NASA Glenn Research Center, Johnson Space Center, and Case Western Reserve University, will send a self-contained combustion chamber to the Moon aboard a Commercial Lunar Payload Services flight.

That is the quietly seismic possibility emerging from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, which has just completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the cosmos ever constructed: 47 million galaxies and […]

That’s not what the research actually finds. And it isn’t what I’ve heard from older people across three […]
