How many rockets have landed on the moon? How many Indian astronauts have landed on the moon? How many astronauts died before Apollo 11? How many astronauts walked on the moon during Project Apollo? How many Soyuz spacecrafts are there?
Photo courtesy NASA Near the end of the Apollo space program, NASA officials were looking at the future of the American space program. They were using one-shot, disposable rockets. What they needed was a reliable, less expensive rocket, perhaps one that was reusable. The idea of a reu...
At the time, NASA engineers determined that the power requirements to launch such a heavy vehicle were too great for any of the rockets they had. Their solution was to create spacecraft that could dock with other vehicles. At first, the engineers considered launching an unmanned container ...

Howard's film "Apollo 13," the weightless scenes were shot on board NASA's KC-135 "Vomit Comet" aircraft. This plane flew parabolic arcs repeatedly where the occupants (actors, camera operators, director) experienced many brief, 30-second periods of free-fall. Weightlessness causes many ...
Interaction designer, Ron Kim, joined us to reveal how he and his team use UX design and prototyping to help NASA launch rockets into space. We welcomed Ron, interaction designer from NASA, to the Galvanize center in San Francisco to share with us his insights into UX design and the ...
— Intuitive Machines is poised to launch its second lunar lander in as many years, marking a significant milestone in commercial space exploration. The mission, known as IM-2, is set to lift off on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from NASA's Kennedy Space Center here on Florida's...
As part of the experiment, the five rockets will each release a chemical tracer that should inscribe as many as seven brilliant milky white trails in the nighttime sky and allow scientists and the general public to actually "see" high-altitude winds at the edge of space. Get the Space.com...
Once upon a time you'd have found gadgets like this only in space rockets or jumbo jets; now they're in virtually every car, many laptop computers, and all kinds of gadgets such as smartphones and games consoles. Let's take a closer look at what they are, what they do, and how ...
But maybe, if you mention how many nuclear weapons you have, you can convince them to give you a discount. LET SOMEONE ELSE DO THE WORK If someone else has a pool nearby, and they’re at a slightly higher elevation, you can steal the water using a siphon. If you can connect the...
