What is Nasas Kilopower? This space nuclear reactor could be the key to colonizing Mars

According to Nasa, the space nuclear reactor tech could literally empower future Mars habitats, transforming Mars resources into water, oxygen and fuel – all the necessary requirements for humans to live on Mars long-term.The Kilopower could produce continuous electricity for 10 or more years in the harsh and extreme environments of the Red Planet. The technology is not dependent on solar power, which means that it could meet power demands even at night or during prolonged sunlight-reducing dust storms.

Nasa finds hole over ozone at its smallest since 1988

Nasa finds hole over ozone at its smallest since 1988

The hole in the ozone layer is at its smallest since 1988 and warmer climates could be the reason behind reduced depletion of the protective layer in the Earths atmosphere. In spite of this recovery, Nasa mentions that there is enough ozone depleting material in the atmosphere to cause significant damage. That is why the current hole, though small by records, is actually large by 1980s standards.
