Dark Sky Stations, Stratospheric Satellites, and Ultra Low Orbit Infrastructure
Many don't realize that most of our satellites and space stations aren't intended to be far from Earth, but rather, as close as we can get them and still maintain a stable orbit. How much lower can we go in the future?

Making a Magnetosphere for Mars
We believe Mars may once have had oceans and sky, but lost them from a lack of a magnetosphere. How does this happen, and how can we create a magnetosphere for Mars so we can terraform and live on it?
