Favorite Space Websites for News

SpaceNut · 2020-02-01 20:59:25

Here is a place to collect links for space news sites to gather information from.
We can also include the companies that launch rockets, cargo and humans as well as orbital space cameras.

Rules to post area is to make one post per person and edit it,to add in those you find or visit.
Try not to make duplicates and post just the homepage.
There are lots of them out there to compile a data area for access to knowledge.
If its space related go ahead and post it for others.

This collection should in time help drive discusions with more than opinions but with facts.

Lets make a great resource...

The website science.slashdot.org is still a great old school news feed website
On slashdot you can also explore tags like space exploation or chemistry, much like twitter allows a person to explore hashtags
Slashdot is almost 25 yrs old and founded by college students, it was called "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters" after so many years you would thin something better would come along but I still find it to be one of the best news feed sites. The original site was founded way back in 1997
https://slashdot.org/tag/space
https://slashdot.org/tag/chemistry
they also have a tech section
https://technology.slashdot.org/
I also read on this forum that 'Mars' and space exploration is active as a topic on the more modern site called discord https://discord.gg/
Scott Manley has an interesting set of social media channels, he is also on Odysee
https://odysee.com/$/search?q=%20ScottManley there are also science and techno and futurist channels starting to grow on Rumble Planetary Formation and the James Webb Space Telescope- channel 'Space, the Universe and Science'
https://rumble.com/vi4x2z-planetary-for … scope.html
Sometimes political news sites be they left wing or right wing they can have interesting science sections under a news banner. I will give a sample of some futurism sites I see or read in a feed, the news on robot, biology, exoplanet, cyborg and exploration stuff I see in news feeds ...some of these news are fringe or deal with cosmology or science fiction speculation science rather than reality so once in a while you might see Scifi-ish conspiracy stuff in these feeds. 'NASA Paid Priests to Figure Out How to Deal With Aliens' type fringe news, you can also get some open information on some open copyright open source, free culture sites or on some dot gov websites or Dot EDU sites.

Substack is becoming an interesting fringe site sometimes with good articles

Overseas points of view and discussion?

French language with different sections
https://www.forum-conquete-spatiale.fr/forum

Russian, used to be very active but less discussion since the War in Ukraine
https://forum.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/i … board=11.0

German space forum
https://forum.raumfahrer.net/index.php

Chinese https://bbs.9ifly.cn/forum-7-1.html there is also https://mp.weixin.qq.com , weibo.com sometimes websites might not work with connection issues and China operates behind its own wall you might need a proxy. You can find lots of Chinese who follow science on substack, twitter, western blogs etc LINE is big in Japan while sites like tiktok and twitter have grown more popular among Japanese, the Japan user often does not like to share their identity online early Japanese internet culture gave birth to anonymous Japanese textboard founded in by Hiroyuki Nishimura which eventually became 4Chan culture.
The S.Koreans and Japanese also sometimes have there own internet community separate from Western culture. 'BAND' by Naver is still very big and you have Daum KakaoTalk in S.Korea.

Italian space forum

A lot of programmer news site are buying up dot .AI domains also pubs or dot org or .edu sites are good for papers also
'Technocracy News' these guys support traditional freedoms but also give news for the political side of science and robotics but I don't always agree with their opinions. https://techxplore.com/news/2022-07-ai- … ology.html , https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/06/google-brain-imagen/ , https://www.newscientist.com/article/23 … ake-sense/

surprised nobody had mentioned NewsScientists or National the NatGeo website which sometimes could be good for natural/space news.

What happens when the copyright bots make false reports and ban creativity?

Rumble has scifi futurism posts and Space-X fan videos, Isaac Arthur will still be on bitchute or his own website or other platforms if some big tech company bans him for a copyright strike... although since some people's science vids only take short clips I would argue they are maybe philosophical and educational and of fair use?

Rumble has fans of Musk

https://rumble.com/c/spaceXcentric

sometimes u tube can be ok

NASA's MESSENGER Mercury Probe

Martin Rees Lex Fridman Podcast

Guys who get censored and banned for some copyright clip or song or audio sample, they might also be found on podcasts.apple.com or Spotify or https://player.fm/

othertimes a banned ep would be found inside archive sites like waybackmachine or archive dot org

The Arty side of news?

Kurzgesagt, quirky animation videos a passion for debate knowledge but not always 100% accurate, more on the fun animation weird art side.
They sometimes cover stuff in the news or culturally trending topics

Also a bunch of you tube topics

Not news but an amazing website shared in other topics that I sometimes forget to check out

http://www.astronautix.com/p/propellants.html

James Oberg an American space journalist used to feature on the site, he is also something of a linguist with conversant knowledge of Russian, French and Latin, and has some familiarity with German, Swedish, Spanish, Kazakh and Japanese and sometimes he would feature in new articles debunk the paranormal such as UFOs.

https://web.archive.org/web/20000309191 … ofile.html

James Oberg, 54, has had a 22-year career as a space engineer in Houston, where he specialized in NASA space shuttle operations for orbital rendezvous, as a contractor employee. He has worked at the Johnson Space Center in Houston since 1975. In support of NASA's spaceflight operations he has written books on Rendezvous Flight Procedures, on Mission Control Center console operations, and on the history of orbital rendezvous. In honor of his pioneering work on developing and documenting these space shuttle rendezvous techniques, he was named by the NASA-Area "Association of Technical Societies" as their 1984 "Technical Person of the Year". In 1997 he received the "Sustained Superior Performance" award for designing the complex first Space Station assembly mission.

He has written ten books and a thousand magazine and newspaper articles on all aspects of space flight. Among these books are: Red Star in Orbit, generally considered the best inside portrait of the history of Soviet space activities through 1981; New Earths, the world's first non-fiction treatment of the far- out futuristic topic of "terraforming" or "planetary engineering"; Pioneering Space (with his wife as co-author), a broad and insightful view of the human side of the spaceflight experience; The New Race for Space, which described the development and prospects for closer US/Russian space flight cooperation; and Uncovering Soviet Disasters, a penetrating analysis of secrecy and technological shortcomings in the former USSR which received wide praise around the world and even in post-glasnost Moscow. His latest book, "Theory of Space Power", commissioned by the US Space Command, describes how the United States has achieved space superiority and how it can exploit and maintain it into the next century. He also contributes key articles on space topics to several leading encyclopedias and annual reference books.

Oberg is widely regarded as a world authority on the Russian space program. He has several times been invited to testify before Congress about the problems facing the Russian space industry. He is also on the editorial board of "Air & Space" magazine, sponsored by the Smithsonian's "National Air and Space Museum", and of SPECTRUM, the monthly magazine of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. He provides expert assessment and forecasts of Russian space industrial and technological elements for corporate and government clients.

Mr. Oberg is currently the space consultant for ABC News and several foreign networks. His book "Red Star in Orbit" was the basis of a 1991 PBS NOVA mini- series devoted to new revelations about the history of the Russian cosmonaut program, and has been optioned to HBO for an up-coming made-for-TV movie. He was consultant and catalog contributor to the two auctions of Russian space memorabilia held by Sotheby's in New York, and has been a science display advisor to many planetariums, galleries, & museums.
