  After Apollo: The History of...

  Today the Space Race is widely viewed poignantly and fondly as a race to the Moon that culminated with Apollo 11 “winning” the Race for the United States. In fact, it encompassed a much broader range of competition between the Soviet Union and the United States that affected everything from military technology to successfully launching satellites that could land on Mars or orbit other planets in the Solar System. Moreover, the notion that America “won” the Space Race at the end of the 1960s overlooks just how competitive the Space Race actually was in launching people into orbit, as well as the major contributions the Space Race influenced in leading to today’s International Space Station and continued space exploration.  
  Space exploration was always an expensive business, and throughout NASA’s history, the agency has had to justify to Congress its need for every dollar it intended to spend. This problem has helped NASA to be more careful and more creative with the money they did receive, and scientists had to justify the equipment they wanted to include on each space probe. They had to justify the size and the power demand, too. If they wanted too much, the entire mission might be scrubbed, and all their work would have been for naught. This made planning and designs leaner and more efficient, as scientists and engineers were more careful with their recommendations. 
  Although Apollo 11’s successful mission to the Moon is seen as the culmination of the Space Race, and the Apollo program remains NASA’s most famous, one of the space agency’s most successful endeavors came a few years later. In fact, the Pioneer program was the most diversified sequence of any of NASA’s programs, and though they’re now remembered for being among the first probes in history to reach the Outer Solar System, the elaborate planning changed goals several times over several years before resulting in historic successes.

  Terra Incognita - Probing the...

  To document the unknown is to navigate a delicate and often treacherous path. It is an undertaking that demands curiosity and courage, tempered by discipline and respect for the subject at hand. When the unknown takes the form of a remote, enigmatic island, the challenges multiply, and the journey becomes as much about understanding ourselves as it is about uncovering the mysteries of the place. 
  One of the primary obstacles is the inherent unpredictability of the venture. An island untouched by mainstream exploration holds its secrets tightly. Its terrain might defy navigation, its climate could shift without warning, and its ecosystems may present risks to even the most prepared. In such circumstances, even the best-laid plans can unravel, requiring constant adaptation. To face these uncertainties is to embrace the idea that success is not guaranteed, and setbacks are part of the process. 
  Another challenge lies in balancing observation with interpretation. A place this unique invites wonder and speculation, but separating fact from fiction is essential. Legends, often steeped in cultural heritage, must be approached with sensitivity, while scientific observations require rigorous validation. There is always the temptation to romanticize the unknown, but doing so risks misrepresenting the truth. The challenge, then, is to honor both the scientific integrity of the exploration and the intangible allure that makes the island so captivating.

You can trade whenever and wherever you like, using any of the numerous markets that are available to choose from, and you can select a low-cost platform from among the many platforms available.

  Obscurantism in power When...

  Over the last ten years or so, it has become commonplace to hear talk of an obscurantist threat linked to a rise in irrationality, manifested mainly by a mistrust of vaccination and conventional medicine. But obscurantism can also be found where we pride ourselves on fighting it. In this case, it is no longer the work of marginal or anti-establishment groups, but of a dominant way of thinking that presents itself as that of science and rationality. 
  The aim of this book is to lift the veil on this obscurantism in power. Through numerous examples, from impeded research into unexplained phenomena such as near-death experiences, to the vast field of medicine where the pharmaceutical industry has cornered the market on proving the usefulness of a treatment, Brice Perrier reveals how reason is transformed into dogmatism and hinders the advancement of knowledge. 
  The aim of the book is not to say what is true or false, nor to settle scientific controversies, but to understand why these debates, which have always been legitimate and even necessary in science, may simply no longer be allowed.
