The USA’s reliance on Russia to put astronauts into space after the retirement of the Shuttle has made the issue a political pawn in the wake of the current east west crisis.
Boeing is known for making airplanes, both commercial and fighter, but they actually have a long history in space. They’ve been a contractor for NASA on every manned space mission ever flown. A new...
Movies recorded by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft reveal that hot spots are not just local weather phenomena, but are in fact linked to much larger-scale atmospheric structures called Rossby waves.
In space no one can hear you scream. Mabe not strictly true. NASA Space Sounds – Information about the recordings and sample sounds of the planets, moons and rings of planets in our Solar...
NASA Physicist Tom Campbell says that more feasible theory than string theory and other theories of the Universe is that we live in a virtual reality Universe. A great video on a new theory...
Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) is a planned beyond-low-Earth-orbit manned spacecraft that is being built by Lockheed Martin for NASA and Astrium for European Space Agency for crewed missions to the Moon, asteroids and...
The Magnetospheric Multiscale, or MMS, will study how the sun and the Earth’s magnetic fields connect and disconnect, an explosive process that can accelerate particles through space to nearly the speed of light. This...
This video gives you an inside look at NASA’s next steps in deep space exploration — from the space station, to an asteroid and on to the human exploration of Mars.
In this video we look back at the past 50 years of space in Europe; five decades of discovery, drama and innovation that have had a profound impact on how we see ourselves and our...

A look at what the Earth will look like in 100 million years. This is a probable future but as we know a lot can happen in 100 million years!
A great video that asks the question whether space-time is fragmented, segmented into quantized bits of information, or causal sets? Or is space-time smooth and continuous, with curves, bends, and warps; just as Einstein had predicted? Is...
A look at star clusters and how each star within a cluster is formed from the same material and is approximately the same age. There are two kinds of clusters. A “globular cluster” which...
