Welcome to Human Spaceflight
This community is dedicated to those who find the idea of expanding our human presence throughout the universe a much more exciting and inspiring idea than one where we are solely contained on Earth.
Quote of the Week
“From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’”
-Edgar Mitchel, Apollo 14 astronaut

Human space flight products needed to grow?
Hey friends. What a day with starship launch! I’m an MBA student with background in emergency, flight and austere medicine. Looking at the space economy, what are some achievable with current tech products or services that need to be provided, not in use now, that will enable commercial human operations in space or accelerate it ?

Research for a school project
Hey! I am a design student and I am creating a new helmet for space flight. My idea/direction is who would space travel look in the next 30? 40? 50? years. This is only the helmet I am not designing the suits. If you would like to help me out please fill out this survey! Thank you! https://forms.gle/EE1PyozNadwpfypG9

Orion Crew Exploration Vehicle's Leading Edge Design and Engineering.
Drawing from more than 50 years of spaceflight research and development, the Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) is designed to meet the evolving needs of our nation's space program for decades to come.
As the flagship of our nation's next-generation space fleet, the MPCV will push the envelope of human spaceflight far beyond low Earth orbit.
The MPCV may resemble its Apollo-era predecessors, but its technology and capability are light years apart. The MPCV features dozens of technology advancements and innovations that have been incorporated into the spacecraft's subsystem and component design.
To support long-duration deep space missions of up to six months, NASA engineers are developing a state-of-the-art spacecraft. The MPCV's unique life support, propulsion, thermal protection and avionics systems will enable integration of new technical innovations in the future.
Building upon the best of human spaceflight design and experience, the MPCV spacecraft includes both crew and service modules, a spacecraft adaptor, and a revolutionary launch abort system that will significantly increase crew safety.
The MPCV's crew module is much larger than Apollo's and can support more crew members for short or long-duration spaceflight missions. The service module is the powerhouse that fuels and propels the spacecraft as well as the storehouse for the life-sustaining air and water astronauts need during their space travels. The service module's structure will also provide places to mount scientific experiments and cargo.
The MPCV is capable of transporting astronauts on a variety of expeditions beyond low Earth orbit – ushering in a new era of space exploration.
