    Solar Flares and Coronal Mass Ejections - Defending Earth from Our Own Star

    Solar storms are inevitable; disaster isn’t. We explore the physics of flares and CMEs, historical extremes, and realistic defenses—detection, delay, and planetary-scale shielding—to weather the Sun’s worst days.

    After Mars - 8 Candidates For Where Humanity Should Go Next

    Mars may be humanity’s next great home—but it’s not the finish line. From floating cities above Venus to mining Mercury and the Asteroid Belt, to building bases on the Jovian moons and Titan, we explore which destinations might follow Mars and how each could shape our future in space.
