At $200,000, a flight to the edge of space is cheap. That’s well within the budget for a lot of people on this planet. Not me personally (dagnappit) but I know people who can afford that. And hundreds of human beings across the world have signed up.

"Given the extreme age of the universe, and its vast number of stars, if planets like Earth are at all typical, then there should be many advanced extraterrestrial civilizations out there, and at least a few in our own Milky Way. Another closely related question is the Great Silence, which poses the question: Even if space travel is too difficult, if life is out there, why don't we at least detect some sign of civilization like radio transmissions?"
Was Einstein Wrong? Speed of Light May Not Be Constant
gamma ray burst
Prepare for your mind to be blown. In 2005, a gamma-ray telescope recorded some data that suggested the idea that the speed of light might not be constant after all. When measuring light released from a galaxy 500 million light years away, the telescope found that the lower-energy photons arrived four minutes before the higher-energy photons.

This spectacular “blue marble” image is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date. Using a collection of satellite-based observations, scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface, oceans, sea ice, and clouds into a seamless, true-color mosaic of every square kilometer (.386 square mile) of our planet.

The Cupola is an ESA-built observatory module of the International Space Station (ISS). It will be used to observe experiments and dockings. It was launched aboard Space Shuttle mission STS-130 on 8 February 2010 attached to the Tranquility (Node 3) module. With the Cupola attached, ISS assembly reached 85 percent complete.
