RUSSIA AND THE US WILL BUILD A DEEP SPACE GATEWAY ORBITING THE MOON
The United States and Russia will work together on building A Moon Base.
There have been lots of rumors going around that Russia and the US are going to join forces
to build a lunar base.
Roscosmos, the head of the space organization, along with NASA have now revealed a partnership
agreement, and they said that both countries have the same common vision for human exploration.
LUNAR ORBIT BUILDING TO START BY 2020 They said that the US and Russia are going to cooperate
on a Moon program and they gave the name Deep Space Gateway a mention specifically.
This is the base that NASA has been planning on building in lunar orbit and they plan on
doing so by 2020.
The release from the two set a 2020 goal as the start of the project.
The press release also stated other internal partners are now considering signing into
the lunar base project.
The statement to come from Roscosmos outlined a plan in rough for the creation of international
technical standards for the space station on the Moon.
It talked about life support systems along with docking ports that will have the base
of a design by the Russians.
This is down to the fact that the Russians have a great deal more experience in regards
to the running of a space station along with the life support systems on-board the ISS
being in the Zvezda Russian section.
US WANTED TO WORK WITH RUSSIA FROM THE START At the moment the ISS has ports that are different
from the multiple vehicles that are docked within it.
The Russian Soyuz capsule makes use of a docking port that has a different style than that
of the space shuttle.
The US had to put in adapters so as to convert the Shuttle docking ports along with allowing
private crafts such as the SpaceX Dragon to connect with them.
The US said that the wanted to work with the Russians from the start instead of carrying
out plans of their own and then getting the Russian on-board at the last minute.
NASA is relying on the heavy lift rocket by the name of SLS when it comes to building
the Deep Space Gateway, however, they are only going to launch it once a year and this
is something that really does not seem to be all that feasible.
However, the statement from Roscosmos has shed some light on that as the rockets of
Russia are going to help with construction.
US AND RUSSIA WILL WORK TOGETHER DESPITE TENSIONS The US and Russia working together is a big
deal, for a lot of reasons as they are working as one even though there is a great deal of
tension between them.
It may mean that the countries will be less likely to turn to hostilities outright.
The aims of NASA have not been very clear up to this point and haven�t been for a
long time.
They did reveal goals that are very ambitious but they did not have a plan that was clear
on just how they achieved it and without any budget to be able to support it.
The organization has slowly been scaling back since that time, however, thanks to international
agreement with cooperation it does now look like the Deep Space Gateway is really going
to happen.
Due to this they have international partners and so Congress might not cancel the project,
bear in mind that the International Space Station managed to get passed with just one
single vote.

RUSSIA TO BUILD A GIGANTIC 'CRYOGENIC ARK' OF ALL LIVING THINGS - Duration: 3:12.
RUSSIA TO BUILD A GIGANTIC 'CRYOGENIC ARK� OF ALL LIVING THINGS BY 2018
Moscow State University to create a modern day Noah�s Ark.
Moscow State University has been granted a billion rubles, the largest ever scientific
grant in Russian history, to collect and store the DNA over every single living and extinct
creature to have ever walked the Earth.
This is planned to be the world�s first database containing such a comprehensive reserve
of biological information about the species of the Earth.
The project has been termed �Noah�s Ark� after the Biblical story by the rector of
Moscow State University, Viktor Sadivnichy.
He has explained to the media that the ambitious project will involve a databank which will
store comprehensive information about every single creature that has ever lived on Earth
and will be accessible to students and to the public in the form of a giant ark, approximately
430 square kilometers in size.
Some of the specimens will be held in cryogenically frozen form, whereas others will have their
DNA extracted and stored in petri-dishes.
There will also be information banks where DNA is not necessarily available, he explains.
The ark, which is expected to be finished in 2018, will be housed in one of the central
campuses at the university.
NOT QUITE THE BIBLICAL NOAH�S ARK, BUT POSSIBLY THE NEXT BEST THING According to the university�s
press office, the database will involve biomaterials collected from various branches of Moscow
State University including the Botanical Garden, the Anthropological Museum, the Zoological
Museum and others.
In addition to involving established academics from various departments of the university,
it will also involve extensive input from the younger generation of scientists affiliated
with Moscow State.
It is also hoped that assistance will be forthcoming for the project from other places across the
world.
This is not the first time that a country has embarked on such an incredibly ambitious
project.
In the United Kingdom, the Frozen Ark project is still ongoing.
The British project involves the preservation of the genetic information of all endangered
life forms on the planet Earth.
This project is referred to as the animal equivalent of the Millennium Seed Bank which
plans to collect a specimen of all of the world�s seeds.
However, this latest project is considered to be the most ambitious of all the biological
data collection enterprises, and the historical significance of the Ark is not lost on the
staff at Moscow State University.
�If it�s realized, this will be a leap in Russian history as the first nation to
create an actual Noah�s Ark of sorts, � the rector said.

How to Build a Teleporter with Aliens - Duration: 3:51.
Suppose we're working with aliens who live near Alpha Centauri to build a wormhole teleporter
so we can go visit them - for dinner, or interstellar diplomacy, or whatever. Of course we'll
need to be able to talk with them about what to make each side of the portal out of, how
big to make the various pieces, and so on. But since we've never been to Alpha Centauri,
and they've never been here, this is tricky – I mean, if you tell me to make you an
arc that's 300 cubits long, and I don't know what a cubit is, you'll probably get
an arc that's not exactly what you were hoping for .
So we'll have to build, from the ground up, an easily sharable way of communicating
about the universe, where distances and such are based on ideas, rather than specific artifacts
. We'd probably start with basic materials, you know, like how instead of sending a vial
with a chunk of lithium in it across interstellar space, we can just say "use the atom that
has 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons." Water would be "the molecule that's a
combination of one atom with 8 protons and two atoms with 1 proton." And so on.
Once we have materials down, we can do clocks – we just tell the aliens that if they take
the atom with 55 protons and 78 neutrons , make it emit a photon of light in a certain way
, and wait for that photon to oscillate 9,192,631,770 times: that's what we call one second.
Once we have clocks, we can do distances: just tell the aliens to see how far light
goes in one 299,792,458th of a second – that's what we call a meter.
But this is when we would run into a massive roadblock – literally. Pretty much the
rest of our communication about the universe requires knowing what mass is, and what we
currently call a kilogram isn't an idea we can just tell distant aliens, the way we
can say "the atom with 3 protons". A kilogram is just a particular lump of metal sitting
in a particular room in a particular place on our planet , and if you want to know how
many kilograms of say, antimatter, you have, you have to take it there and weigh them against
each other . In the very near future, we're going to
settle on a more sensible way of talking about mass, so instead of saying "in order to
build this teleporter you have to come to the part of earth with good cheese so we can
show you our shiny lump of metal," , we'll either be telling the aliens to just get a
pile of something like 21.5253873 septillion of the atom that has 14 protons and 14 neutrons,
or we'll tell them to weigh how much mass an atom or molecule loses after emitting a
photon of light that oscillates roughly 135.6392534 septillion septillion times each second. One
of these two concepts will be our new kilogram, and even though the pile of atoms option sounds
simpler in principle, it's actually kind of harder and more expensive to do in practice.
Whichever way it is, once we have our new way of communicating about mass as an idea
instead of an object, we'll be able to build our wormhole teleporter with the alpha centaurians
. And then we can bring them here to earth, have dinner, and afterwards, show them the
chunk of metal that used to be THE THING that we used to talk about the mass of all other
things. Before I tell you about this video's sponsor,
Skillshare, I want to tell you a story. I recently turned 30, but back when I was in
high school, I was super into computer visual effects and sci-fi movies – however, there
were very few easy ways to learn how to do visual effects yourself. I mean, consumer
access to digital video cameras was still very new, personal computers were just starting
to be good enough for legit video editing, and youtube didn't even exist. I had to
scrounge in vfx chat-rooms, dvd special features, and arcane blogs to learn enough to make my
lord-of-the-rings and star-wars parodies. Today at age 30, the situation is night and
day – you can shoot and edit high definition footage on a telephone, for crying out loud!
And it's much easier to learn how to use more powerful tools like After Effects and
Photoshop – services like Skillshare, for example, now allow you to find tens of thousands
of video tutorials on design, photography, programming, visual effects, and more. And
Skillshare is offering 30% off a year-long premium membership for the first 200 people
who go to skl.sh/minutephysics30 – again, that's skl.sh/minutephysics30 for 30% off
– and it works even if you didn't just turn 30!
