Scientists Believe These Photos Show Mushrooms on Mars—and Proof of Life https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/moon-mars/a36356445/mushrooms-on-mars-nasa-photos-life-on-mars/ Most IMPORTANT NEWS of the millennium or . . . ??? I wonder if they sauté well?

Katherine Johnson, one of the history-making, barrier-breaking NASA mathematicians depicted in "Hidden Figures" ; died Monday, the administrator of NASA said. She was 101. "Hidden Figures" A movie worth watching...

Well... no, actually they didn't. NASA just saw something come out of a black hole for the first time ever They saw an x-ray pulse from the region around the black hole, but there's nothing to suggest that it came "out of" the black hole itself. My guess is that it is a result of the...

NASA says: We'll find alien life in 10 to 20 years Seems overly confident and possibly irresponsible to me.

Depending on how you feel about the Orion project at NASA, you may be interested to follow along with recent developments on their blog: https://blogs.nasa.gov/orion/ The latest test launch is still on schedule for Dec. 4th. Lots of good info in the link above if you are interested in that...

Announcement from NASA about an hour ago: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/m/news/news.php?release=2014-119#.U1BtrVXa46Z :thumbsup:

It appears NASA has an engineer or two who have been using the Bemer magnetic therapy. The magnetic signal is now a part of space suit technical research in NASA...

http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nbcnews.com/53885409/ Cool! Live video coverage of the International Space Station repair spacewalk. I don't know how long it will last.

Couldnt find a place to put this. Saw this linked on Cluesforum,(it's fake obvs ;) )wanted someone with intelligence to explain the odd TV vs Live picture delay as it's bugging me. All seems to be out of sync with each other. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-f3wXAnjgE

I just saw this on the Astronomy Picture of the Day (though it is a video) and wanted to share. It shows several segments of film of the International Space Station's orbit of the Earth during the night, in time-lapse. I don't know if it has been linked before since it is about 6 months old, but...

Mind blowing! Warning, v. high def! http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/6760135001/sizes/o/in/photostream/ Be sure to check out the 8000 x 8000 shot. I'd love to get a full size print of it.

I did a quick search and didn't see this being discussed. Apologies in advance if I missed it. Anyone not familiar with the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) website should give it a look-see. Even if one has only a passing interest in astronomy I'd wager that you could easily burn...

Au Revoir, mon brave. The end of an era. Goodbye fair flight I watched as a child, those black limned wings, as they first flew, Carrying a dream to the edge of night. Bright, beautiful fury that drew, our awed eyes skyward, and our minds further. Columbia revived, brave as your namesake...

It appears that NASA's plans are getting another facelift from congress. No new funding, though. It adds at least one additional shuttle mission next year, and calls for more work on a legacy orbital capability...

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/05/nasa-chief-frontier-better-relations-muslims/ "NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world." :confused:

iEg7B4kOFo8 Busted NASA Ha, debunk this one debunkers.

"A huge NASA balloon loaded with a telescope painstakingly built to scan the sky at wavelengths invisible to the human eye crashed in the Australian outback Thursday, destroying the astronomy experiment and just missing nearby onlookers, according to Australian media reports. In dramatic video...

Is President Obama's plan for NASA a good idea or not? I watched a comment by a former director of NASA say that it is not a good idea because a private company launching people into space is not the same as a government agency because of the likely fatalities. It would be more cost effective...

As a purely intellectual exercise, what would it take to move the International Space Station into a Lunar orbit? Could this be done? Would the station be able to withstand the rigors of accelerating to an escape velocity and then decelerating to enter Lunar orbit? Would there be adequate...

"LCROSS satellite to bomb alien colony on moon Oct 9 - psychically prevent it!" I gather this was sent out on Richard Boylan's mailing list. http://www.freedomcrowsnest.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82160 (scroll down to second post) :)

Only it wasn't a UFO. NASA came forward immediately and declared that the giant silvery disc-shaped object was a research balloon they launched to measure gamma radiation in the upper atmosphere. The balloon was launched in Fort Sumter, NM, and sailed over New Mexico and Arizona...

There will be, the good lord willing, a satellite launch from Wallops Island on Tuesday night which may well be visible along almost all of the US Eastern Seaboard, from Maine to Florida, and east to Tennessee. It will be only the third orbital attempt ever launched from Wallops...

Five years and still going! Yaaaay NASA! :D NASA's Mars Rovers Still Making Tracks

The Phoenix mission, which discovered indisputable proof of water on Mars, went quiet and the mission has been ended by NASA. It was facing declining power output in the Martian winter when a dust storm apparently covered up enough of the solar cells' capacity to send it below the likely...

I read an article at Space.com about a little tiff at NASA about a competing rocket design some employees have been working on off hours. They claim it is more efficient and half as expensive as the Ares rockets. They call it Jupiter. Does anyone else know any more about this? It sounds like...
