Many months after the Falcon Heavy announcement there is still confusion about its significance, and in some quarters outright disbelief remains regarding the launch prices actually posted on the SpaceX website for the Falcon Heavy. No other company
Elon Musk announced the latest proposed modifications to his Falcon 9 space launch vehicles to reduce costs: Complete recyclability/re-usability and lower recovery costs making extraplanatery journeys FAR more cost effective.

Disasters happen in space. The Soviets lost Cosmonauts and NASA lost astronauts during the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. But forward thinking is something NASA normally excels at and now the US space agency is taking a second look at an old idea
he Moon's near side, facing us, is dominated by vast smooth 'seas' of ancient hardened lava. In contrast, the far side is marked by mountainous highlands. Researchers have long struggled to account for the differences, and the "two moon" theory
Private industry, saving NASA from being Russia's bitch! NASA has given us a Nov. 30, 2011 launch date, which should be followed nine days later by Dragon berthing at the ISS.
Usually high-school rocket clubs launch an egg and try to have it land safely. But our teacher suggested that we do something harder: enter a competition to build a Mars rover that could be deployed from a rocket.

The advanced concepts selected for study under NIAC were chosen based on their potential to transform our future space missions, enable new capabilities or significantly alter current approaches to launching, building and operating space systems.
On September 22, 2010, with the departure of the Expedition 23 crew, Colonel Douglas H. Wheelock assumed command of the International Space Station and the Expedition 25 crew.
A primordial second moon may have smacked into our existing moon billions of years ago, its remains pancaking across its larger sibling and disrupting the bigger moon’s still-cooling surface.
Curiosity is the biggest and most advanced rover ever built, designed to help answer an age-old question: Is there life on Mars?
If you are waiting on NASA to give you space travel keep waiting just like your parents and grandparents did. But some entrepreneurs got tired of waiting and amazingly delivered before the government shut the competition down.
The world's largest network of radio telescopes is ready to begin the first phase of operations in northern Chile's Atacama Desert, an observatory announced Thursday.
The differences between the two hemispheres could not be clearer. While the facing side of the moon features vast, dark plains of cooled lava — which the ancients assumed were seas — the far side is mostly an expanse of tens of thousands of impact cr
The International Space Station will be directed into the ocean after 2020, a Russian Space Agency spokesman said.
NASA's space shuttle program may be over, but a new kind of space shuttling is just getting started. Even better, the new, private era of space missions seems to be moving along even faster than expected...
