Excellent choice by NASA … the Artemis Zero Gravity Indicator aboard the Orion capsule!
Behold the Artemis launch and on-orbit maneuvers. What a thrill to see NASA back in business with a successful launch of their giant new booster…
This photographer combined photos of the Moon from just before the first encounter with the shadow of the Earth until the last.
Amazing images from the Hubble Telescope reside on this great website that serves up a fresh image every day for your viewing pleasure!
A scientist has created a short video (one and a half minutes) that allows you to slide from a totally Hubble image to a totally Webb image. You can watch a fuzzy dot turn into a very distant spiral galaxy…
Of course, there is always the possibility of a glancing blow … or missing the asteroid altogether. That’s why we do science.
This astonishing video lecture and call for new investors suggests a plausible way to fabricate really big habitats in space. It is like a Ted Talk on steroids.
Ever since I have been a “rocket scientist,” the satellite industry have been trying to find a way to avoid the extremely energy inefficient first stage booster…
NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft closed in on that dwarf planet at a prodigious speed and is doing a drive-by-science-mission today.
Our approach, on the face of it, was just too hard to believe. One had to have faith in the development and success of several new technical systems that should work, but have never been built…
A confession: When I saw that jazzy, nearly turquoise rock that Perseverance recently photographed. It didn’t fit into my view of Mars at all .... totally the wrong color .... so I got overly excited.
When the main booster was on its way back to Cape Canaveral from the totally successful Dragon Space Station resupply mission, everything looked normal until…
SpaceX finally “stuck-the-landing” with Serial Number 15 flight in their Starship program. No monumental explosion at the end….
The results of a multi-year analysis of thousands of telescope observations in optical and radio wave spectra and direct measurement of the distance to hundreds of reference stars.
Great images of the recent “stacking” of SpaceX’s “Starship" atop their enormous Big Falcon Rocket (BFR) booster…
This is an extraordinarily comprehensive YouTube video documenting the failures and successes during the SpaceX development of a Spacecraft that eventually might take people to the Moon and Mars.
Any first flight of a new rocket is risky. Because of this, the payload space is generally filled with a dummy weight like a big tank of water to simulate the mass of an eventual satellite payload. But not this launch.
