The European Space Agency (ESA) is charting an ambitious course for the future. It is aiming to solidify Europe's position in space exploration through the “Explore 2040” initiative.
The NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) Program nurtures visionary ideas that could transform future NASA missions with the creation of radically better or entirely new aerospace concepts. NIAC funded projects study innovative, technically credible, advanced concepts that could one day “Change the Possible” in aerospace. Here is a NAIC Phase I project proposed by Lynn Rothschild at the NASA Ames Research Center (ARC).

Ambient office = 125 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 83 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 74 nanosieverts per hour
Last Saturday at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in Lima, Peru, U.S. President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed that any decision to use nuclear weapons should be controlled by humans, not by artificial intelligence.
Ambient office = 114 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 95 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 85 nanosieverts per hour
Fusion plasma confinement could be enhanced with recent magnetic fields breakthrough. For decades, researchers and engineers have been working to develop reactors that can achieve nuclear fusion to meet the increasing need for clean and limitless energy.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) is researching the use of advanced 3D printing to mass-produce fuel capsules for fusion energy power plants. It could be a significant breakthrough in the field of fusion energy, which is considered the “Holy Grail” of clean and abundant power.
