Space to Ground this week.

StationLIFE with Tracy Dyson.

Every month on StationLIFE, we’ll focus on a scientific area where the International Space Station is conducting groundbreaking research. This month, astronaut Tracy Dyson talks about some of the studies taking a look at astronaut brains.

Right now on station, we are studying how the unique stresses of the spaceflight environment affect astronauts’ central nervous systems, with an eye toward reducing risks for future space exploration. This means looking at things like astronaut cognition, spaceflight effects on fatigue and reaction timing, motor control, quality of sleep, psychological health and more!

Be sure to check back every month to see more of how we’re working "Off the Earth, For the Earth."

What's Up for October 2015.

Now I am an official backer of Moonspike: the World's First Crowdfunded Moon Rocket.

A European entrepreneur and engineer are betting they can raise nearly $1 million in a month-long crowdfunding campaign that began Oct. 1 to start work on a spacecraft to land on the moon. Moonspike, a company registered in Britain but with its engineering team based in Copenhagen, plans to develop a spacecraft to crash-land a tiny payload on the surface of the moon, as well as a rocket to launch it. The effort, its founders say, is driven as much by curiosity about whether the project is feasible as by any commercial opportunities.
