Strategic break

Theoretical Space vs. Reality In a previous article, we calculated that the living space for humans on Earth — the zone where we can function without life-support equipment — amounts to approximately 787 million cubic kilometres. A mere 0.073% of the planet’s volume. But that was theoretical space. Places where a human can survive. Now…

Where Can We Actually Live? Earth is our planet. It seems obvious that we can live on it — after all, we have been doing so for hundreds of thousands of years. But if we ask a more precise question: how large is the actual space in which humans can live and work without complex…

Earth erases its traces. The Moon does not. Nothing on Earth lasts forever in its original form. Rain, wind, tectonics, water — they work together to keep every surface in constant motion. A meteor crater vanishes within millions of years. A human footprint — within minutes. The planet is alive, and because of that it…

Conventional thinking about lunar survival focuses on the poles. The nights are shorter there, conditions more forgiving, energy available almost continuously. This mission is somewhere else. We’re sending a team of miniature construction machines to the Moon. The goal: locate a suitable boulder arrangement, build a habitat measuring 2×2×1 meters, cover it with regolith —…

A recruiter once told me something that stuck with me: that you can’t really tell from a CV and a job interview whether someone will be good at a given position. That intuition plays a large role — whatever you choose to call it. She was talking about ordinary, well-defined roles. Traditional positions with lists…

Launch, orbit, the Moon. But somewhere between the broadcast and reality, there’s a layer worth seeing. April 1, 2026, 22:35 UTC. SLS lifted Orion from Launch Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center. On board: Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen — four people heading toward the Moon for the first time in…
