NASA Flight Engineers Rick Mastracchio and Mike Hopkins are working outside the orbiting International Space Station today (Dec. 21) to fix a bad pump.
They are doing the first in a series of spacewalks to replace a degraded ammonia pump module with one of the station's two external cooling loops that keeps both internal and external equipment cool, according to NASA.
This is really a neat video because we always have a lot of questions regarding space.....living in space. You know, not questions about performing the work-tasks the astronauts have to do, but questions about normal human needs...personal hygiene.
Some kids have all the luck. It's not everyday where you get to learn about space, and travel and whats it's like to leave this stratosphere from the guys and girls who actually experiment with it and do it
Opportunity has discovered rocks unlike any seen there before. This find makes Mars look more like Earth than ever before.
With the trajectory looking good and the solar panels deployed, the hardest part is over for the Juno space probe. It is now on its way to the planet Jupiter.
They did. It happened in 2009 and scientists warned that this could cause lots of problems, weather changes being one of them. WHY would NASA & the United States do something like that NOT KNOWING the effects it could have? Who owns the moon? What if every country with the capabilities started doing the same thing.

NASA's Glory satellite was destroyed when its protective fairing failed to open, rendering it unable to achieve orbit.
As cnet's Bill Harwood explains, it's a $424 million boo-boo, and that's on top of the very similar Orbiting Carbon Observatory loss in 2009.
The hardest working spaceship of them all is on its final mission.
Upon its return to Earth, The Space Shuttle Discovery will retire from service and never see outer space again, but it leaves behind a legacy that will not soon be rivaled
