When Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa brought tree seeds to the moon and back, scientists wondered if space travel would change them. The answer surprised everyone and created a living legacy you can still visit today.
Daniel Stubbs is solving one of the biggest challenges facing NASA's return to the Moon: massive dust clouds kicked up by rocket engines that could blind instruments and damage equipment. His work modeling lunar dust plumes is helping ensure astronauts land safely when Artemis missions touch down in 2028.
SpaceX's biggest rocket ever just completed its first test flight, bringing NASA's plan to land astronauts on the moon one giant leap closer to reality. Despite a few hiccups, the 408-foot spacecraft successfully reached orbit and deployed payloads.
A blue micromoon will light up the sky this weekend, and skywatchers won't see another one until December 2028. Southern Hemisphere viewers get an extra treat when the moon passes in front of a bright star.
SpaceX launched its most powerful rocket ever on May 22, marking a major step toward returning astronauts to the moon. The 408-foot Starship V3 successfully completed its first test flight despite minor hiccups.
Japan Airlines is partnering with a space startup to send cultural treasures to the moon, protecting humanity's heritage from climate change and conflict. The project marks the airline's first venture into space exploration.
China is merging its robotic and human spaceflight programs into one unified effort to land astronauts on the moon by 2030. The integration brings together decades of expertise from both programs to accelerate the nation's lunar exploration timeline.
NASA will announce the four astronauts heading to the Moon on June 9, marking a giant leap toward humanity's return to the lunar surface. The mission follows April's successful Artemis II test flight and brings us closer to exploring Mars.
South Korea just launched an ambitious project to double research productivity by 2030 using AI across twelve breakthrough missions. The K-Moonshot Project tackles everything from brain implants to fusion energy with a government-backed team ready to turn big ideas into reality.
The Artemis 2 mission did more than showcase our return to the moon. It exposed a fixable problem in how thousands of suppliers work together that could make future space missions faster and cheaper.
NASA just unveiled its most detailed timeline yet for building a permanent lunar base the size of a small city. The ambitious plan kicks off this year with robot scouts, leading to a sprawling home for astronauts at the moon's south pole within twelve years.
College students across America are designing and building robots that could help NASA construct the future on the Moon. Forty-seven teams just competed at Kennedy Space Center, testing their lunar construction bots on terrain that mimics the Moon's surface.
NASA just showed off the first rovers and landers heading to the moon's south pole, bringing us closer to a permanent lunar base by 2030. Two private companies won contracts to build solar-powered vehicles that will scout terrain before astronauts arrive.
NASA just announced sweeping contracts worth hundreds of millions to build humanity's first permanent lunar base, complete with rovers, drones, and landing infrastructure. The ambitious plan includes over a dozen missions starting this year to establish a base spanning hundreds of square miles near the Moon's South Pole.
Less than two months after astronauts flew around the moon, NASA is already ordering landers, rovers, and drones for humanity's first lunar base. The space agency just awarded hundreds of millions in contracts to make permanent moon living a reality by the 2030s.
NASA will reveal the four astronauts heading to the Moon during a live event on June 9, marking the next giant leap in returning humans to lunar exploration. The Artemis III mission will test crucial technology needed to land people on the Moon's surface for the first time in over 50 years.
NASA is purchasing landers, rovers, and drones for humanity's first permanent lunar base, racing to get equipment on the moon before astronauts arrive in 2028. The base will span hundreds of square miles and pave the way for Mars exploration.
NASA just unveiled its roadmap to build humanity's first lunar base at the moon's south pole, starting with 25 robotic missions in the next three years. The ambitious plan trades complexity for speed, focusing resources directly on the lunar surface instead of orbital stations.
NASA is building humanity's first permanent lunar base near the Moon's south pole, with robotic missions launching this fall and astronauts returning by 2027. The ambitious project could pave the way for future Mars exploration while establishing a lasting human presence beyond Earth.
Chinese scientists are studying human embryo development in microgravity to understand if we can safely have babies beyond Earth. The research could be crucial for future moon and Mars settlements.
