Mathematicians' Alternate Model of the Universe Explains Away the Need For Dark Energy
Dark energy is a mysterious force that cosmologists use to fill gaps in our model of why our universe continues its ever-faster expansion. But now two mathematicians have found a way to explain those baffling observations of the universe without the dark energy question mark hanging overhead.
9.28.2009 at 08:04am - Comment by ChancejacobyI can’t believe some of the comments here, calling POPSCI Biased? It’s a Scientific Magazine. What do you expect; I don’t see religious Magazines talking about the Big Bang. Good Job PopSci on telling us new happenings in the world of Science, Keep up the good work!

Nuclear Moon Bases
When lunar astronauts flick on their televisions after a long day of prospecting, they’ll have a trashcan-size nuclear reactor to thank for their nightly dose of prime time. NASA, looking past the already daunting task of simply getting humans to the moon by 2020, recently started considering proposals for ways to power lunar habitats. Batteries and fuel cells provide only short-term solutions. Solar power would be limited where a single night lasts as long as 354 hours. So space-agency officials have started making plans to go nuclear.

That is what i see happening when you have a moon base catching space ship via a tether.
