"I think that we will never know what is truly going on until we make a space where we can publicly and transparently engage in and encourage hard data collection from sensor systems and careful scientific analysis of that data."

Talk about ringing in the New Year!

NASA wants to Mars samples to Earth, but budget problems and technical woes have the mission caught between a rock and the Red Planet.

"This is the world's greatest video game except, in the end, it is very real."

Engineers will "make the flag flutter through the interaction of electromagnetic fields."

Even if the flags have remained standing when crews rocketed off the moon, it is almost certain that they are not in the same condition as when they were first deployed on the lunar surface.

The Space Force's top-secret aircraft has been in a highly elliptical high Earth orbit since December 2023.

"The inclusion of the moon underscores the universal need for proactive and cooperative strategies to protect heritage — whether on Earth or beyond — that reflect and safeguard our collective narrative."

Genesis data is now producing high impact science in cosmochemistry, solar physics, coronal mass ejections, and space weathering.

GOLDEN, Colorado — Interlune, a Seattle-based company of former Blue Origin technologists, has set its sights on the moon's supply of Helium-3 — a rare heavy isotope deposited into lunar regolith by solar wind that was found in samples brought back during NASA's Apollo missions. More recent, astrogeological research, however, suggests significant technological and logistical challenges in harvesting this particularly scarce and difficult-to-extract isotope.
