How did the International Space Station get into space? What changes did NASA make to the Apollo spacecraft? How did they photograph the moon landing? Who built the Saturn rocket? How many tons was the payload of the Saturn rocket?
Why did NASA shut down the space program? How does the SpaceX rocket engine work? Did Yuri Gagarin die in space? Have they solved the radiation problem for a spaceflight to Mars? Was Sputnik the first satellite in space? Does China have a space program? Did Boeing build the space shuttl...
“The characteristics of microgravity are probably also at work in people’s brains, because there’s no convection in microgravity—in other words, things don’t move,” says Loring. “I think that in space, these organoids are more like the brain because they’re not getting flushed w...
The process of forming NASA began in the early 1950s with the development of rocket planes – like the Bell X-1 – and the desire to launch physical satellites. However, it was not until the launch ofSputnik 1– the first artificial satellite into space that was deployed by the Soviets o...
US Space Operations Command unveils new motto in head banging video: 'Always the hunter' Scientists warn of consequences as over 800 NOAA workers are fired: 'Censoring science does not change the facts' NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic jet clears 'major hurdle' ahead of 1st flight (photos) How...

and now if you want to work as a space architect at NASA, you should combine both disciplines, aerospace and architecture. Private sector is picking up faster. For example, Blue Origin and SpaceX are recognizing that design is as important as safety because design supports wellbeing which is...
Commercial companies like SpaceX use terrestrial technology, but that’s because they only need it to work for a couple weeks, said Michael Piszczor Jr., chief of the Photovoltaic and Electrochemical Systems Branch at NASA. Two types of solar cells are common outside our hospitable atmosphere....
