[ Technology Report ] NASA Observer Discovers Earth-sized World in ‘Habitable Zone’ (2020-1-13) By Bryan Lynn 2020-1-12 A NASA satellite has discovered an Earth-sized world within its star’s “habitable” area -- where liquid water could possibly exist. The world is known as an exo...
originally envisioned, the Mars Sample Return mission, or MSR, is the most complex robotic planetary science mission ever attempted, one requiring a new NASA lander to bring a rocket to the surface capable of launching soil and rock samples gathered by another rover alre...
On Tuesday, NASA announced that it’s looking for its next class of astronauts, and some of those who make it through the selection process could indeed find themselves on a spacecraft to the red planet. And before then, a trip to the moon is certainly on the cards. ...
