NASA's doing some crazy things this month.
First, it launched its first spacecraft in three years since the space shuttle.
Now, the U.S. space agency has awakened its New Horizons spacecraft for an encounter with Pluto -- which is still a planet to me.
NASA reached a major milestone Friday as the Orion spacecraft completed its first voyage to space, traveling farther than any spacecraft designed for astronauts has been in more than 40 years.
Bottom line: NASA's back in the spaceflight game for the first time since the space shuttle program ended three years ago.
There are a lot of ways to enjoy a clear night in West Michigan.
One of them is very simple, just look to the sky.
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. Is it just me or does civilization seem to be dumbing down, with the U.S. leading the way.
Didn't someone predict the end of the world would be coming on December 12, 2012. This may be the beginning of it! An earthquake triggered a tusnami that hit Japan hours ago. Four million people are without power.
