Carnival of Space Week 50

carnival of space week 50 is up at KYSat.

My contribution was on thin film city domes for nuclear weapon protection and many commercial uses.

Out of the cradle has the second part of a series of articles on gardening on the moon

Colony Worlds explains how Neptunes moon Triton could eventually be worth trillions for helium-3 and for mining asteroids that orbit Triton.

Centauri Dreams discusses how regular life could be common but intelligent life rare.

There is news about he new rocket racing league exhibitions.
