@steemstem · 2019-07-18 07:43 · steemstem
After ou hundredth release, here is a delayed binary distilled (101). Welcome to this new episode of our curation effort! The SteemSTEM community is as usual waiting for you to pass by on the [**SteemSTEM discord server**](https://discord.gg/9c7pKVD), where most our active members are available to chat with anyone on a daily basis. [image credits: @medro-martin] We present in this distilled our **top two handpicked post choices** for the last week. As usual, our selection committee consisted in a one-man team made of @lemouth, and some statistics are given at the end of this post.
Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. The chances to be picked are low. In the meantime, you may wish to check [**these guidelines**](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@steemstem/helpful-guidelines-for-crafting-steemstem-content) for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective (or ask for a mentor on [**Discord**](https://discord.gg/9c7pKVD)). ---

Ion Thrusters To Propel Humanity Into Future

Traveling in space... an old dream that is good to discuss today, as we went to the moon exactly 50 years ago. @medro-martin discuss in his last post rockets in space and the important topic of moving into the intersideral vacuum. Very recently, ion propulsion appears and this is what this post is about.

Molecules in interstellar space and a close look at electrons

@empressteemah continues this series on what is going on with physics in the interstellar medium. Again, this is just an excuse to comprehensively discuss the properties of the atoms regarding their position in the Mendeleev table, and how this is connected on the configuration of the various electrons of each element. ---
