#Nasa confirms water on Mars, increasing chance of alien life Mars has long been known as our barren sister planet but today,
NASA scientists have announced they have found flowing water on the red desert planet. NASA and the Nature Geoscience journal released their findings on a Live Stream announcement stating that the long,
dark streaks found on Mars are a telltale sign of still flowing water on the Martian surface.
NASA scientists theorize the liquid water runs down canyons and cater walls during the summer months on Mars. Eventually these dark streaks dry up as the planet's surface cools in autumn.

#NASA test-fires shuttle engine for SLS rocket A former space shuttle engine roared to life Thursday in Mississippi, billowing steam from a Mississippi stand during a nearly nine-minute test firing.
The test shown live on NASA TV was the third of four preparing upgraded shuttle engines to lift NASA Space Launch System exploration rocket,
and NASA plans to restart production of the RS-25. Two stretched versions of shuttle solid rocket boosters also will help lift the SLS rocket early in flight, for at least the first two launches,
the Rice team installed it on a mobile laboratory used during NASA's DISCOVER-AQ campaign, which analyzed pollution on the ground and from the air last September.
You can watch the launch live here on Space. com, courtesy of NASA TV and Spacex, beginning at 3: 30 a m. EST (0830 GMT.
The launch which will kick off Spacex's fifth contracted supply mission to the space station for NASA was targeted for Tuesday (Jan 6),
NASA officials said. Dragon will stay at the orbiting lab for a month, and then return to Earth for a splashdown in the Pacific ocean.
Spacex holds a $1. 6 billion contract with NASA to complete 12 cargo runs to the space station.
Originally a collaboration between Rackspace and NASA, the Openstack cloud computing software platform is the most prominent open-source project to emerge in recent years.

which also is carrying NASA Materials Exposure and Technology Innovation in Space (METIS) investigation that will expose about 100 different materials samples to the space environment for more than 200 days.
NASA is considering the use of solar sails on future exploration mission secondary payloads and data from this mission will advance understanding of this form of propulsion.
NASA selected Lightsail as part of the agency Cubesat Launch Initiative, which provides opportunities for small satellites to fly as auxiliary payloads on planned missions.
It was made possible through agreements between NASA the Air force Space and Missile Systems Center and the National Reconnaissance Office to work together on Cubesat integration and launch opportunities.
As part of its agreement with NASA, the Planetary Society will provide the agency a report on outcomes and scientific findings.

Previous attempts to test solar sail technology, such as Nasa Nanosail-D2 in 2010, were less successful in this latter part-the sail didn't unfurl properly,

#Nasa's'impossible'EMDRIVE propulsion DOES work A controversial design for a new, advanced type of space travel received a boost as German scientists confirmed that it does in fact work.
'While there has been some scepticism surrounding the EMDRIVE, in April Nasa released results of their own test
with Nasa engineers reportedly posting on its forum. The announcement will add momentum to developing a working EMDRIVE,
But earlier this year, Nasa built an EMDRIVE that works in conditions like those in space
according to users on forum Nasaspaceflight. com. A number of those discussing the plan on the technical forum claim to be Nasa engineers who are involved in the project.
Last year, Pennsylvania-based scientist Guido Fetta and his team at Nasa Eagleworks published a paper that demonstrates that a similar engine works on the same principles.
But Nasa's latest test is claimed to have shown otherwise.''Nasa has tested successfully their Emdrive in a hard vacuum the first time any organisation has reported such a successful test,
'the researchers wrote.''To this end, Nasa Eagleworks has nullified now the prevailing hypothesis that thrust measurements were due to thermal convection.'
'However, Nasa's official site says that:''There are many'absurd'theories that have become reality over the years of scientific research.'
'But for the near future, warp drive remains a dream, 'in a post updated earlier this year
