-NASA funds six futuristic space technology ideas.

Mars Sample Return Mission Concept

NASA has granted funding to six next generation technologies that will hopefully help humans travel through space. Some of the ideas include a propellant-less spacecraft formation-flying and maneuvering with phonetic laser thrusters, a gravitational wave detector based on atom interferometer, and sample return systems for extreme environments.  All of these ideas and prototypes were made in college research centers in the United States. Will one day one of these ideas become a reality and help contribute to human space exploration? Time will only tell.

-The ability of rebuilding a human body - will it ever be possible?
A company known as Grindhouse Wetwares is in the early stages of designing products that one day could be built into a human. This is kind of like a cyborg type equipment you would see in a futuristic film. This trans-humanist movement is hoping one day that this technologies can make a human even more superior than before - such as running faster or living longer. Back in 2012, a group in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania of programmers, engineers, and enthusiasts began testing the possibility the process of making this a possibility. There has been a few innovations they've worked on including a chip to store biomedical data and a sensor array that sends data to one's finger magnet. In the future, the idea of living longer, running faster, or jumping higher in "cyborg" humans will cause a heated debate as these technologies get more advanced as we head later into this century.
