Expeditions to Mars
\nThe blueprint for getting humans to Mars has not yet been written but the options are narrowing. Just how soon the preparatory steps will be taken is the focus of this review of NASA\u2019s plans for a reconnaissance mission to Phobos before landings on the Red Planet. We also discuss the method selected for getting there.<\/p>\n

\nPhysician Dr William J. Rowe takes issue with NASA about the effects of weightlessness on the ability of the human body to adapt to challenging conditions during long duration space flight and on the effects that have already been observed on astronauts from the Apollo era.<\/p>\n
An Infrared eye on the Universe
\nIt\u2019s been a long time coming but the flight of the James Webb Space Telescope is now only two years away. As the hardware comes together and the observatory nears assembly, we take a look at this extraordinary endeavour to build the biggest space observatory to date.<\/p>\n
Visions of Space
\nChris Starr has assembled a stellar group of space artists from the UK and abroad to reveal some of the outstanding artworks gathered together for the space art exhibition at Wells, Somerset, in November 2015.<\/p>\n
