New High-Res Video: Curiosity’s Landing on Mars
If you want to get a feel for touching down on the Red Planet, look at a new movie thanks to NASA’s Curiosity rover mission. The video covers the last two-and-a-half minutes before the rover touches down in Gale Crater. This movie is available courtesy of...InSight on Mars! New Mission Selected
Just as Curiosity revs up its scientific mission on Mars, NASA has selected a new mission to the Red Planet. The space agency announced that InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) is a NASA Discovery Program mission...CubeSat Thruster: Engine of Creation
A worry about the proliferation of CubeSat satellite launches is adding clutter to an already troublesome amount of Earth-circling debris. If CubeSats were deployed at higher orbits, they would take much longer to degrade, potentially creating space clutter. As more...New Color Photo: Curiosity Sitting On Mars
Thanks to the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) the Curiosity rover was sitting on the surface of Mars. This color-enhanced view of NASA’s Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars was taken by the MRO’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) as it flew...President Checks In on NASA’s Curiosity Mission Team
President Obama was filled with praise for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory early Monday, when he called the control center for the Mars Science Laboratory from Air Force One to check in on the Curiosity rover. Early Aug. 6, Curiosity settled into Gale...Offer Some Advice on NASA’s Future, While Someone’s Listening
NASA was directed by Congress to re-assess its future, as part of the agency’s 2012 appropriations bill. The task, which must be completed soon, was assigned to the National Research Council, an arm of the National Academies. The National Academies serve...Curious “Photo-finish”: Sky Crane’s Demise Documented
After deploying the Curiosity rover on the surface of Mars, the Sky Crane performed its own aerial acrobatics – crashing in a planned maneuver far away from the rover’s landing zone. Engineers have reviewed images taken by Curiosity’s Hazard-Avoidance cameras finding...New Public Poll Surveys Sending Human to Mars
As NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover revs up to start rolling, a new poll has looked into public backing of a human mission to Mars. Now Americans are slightly more supportive of sending a human to the Red Planet. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 36...Neil deGrasse Tyson on the final frontier: Let’s see what’s out there
I happen to have been born the same week NASA was founded, in early October 1958. That means my earliest awareness of the world took place in the 1960s, during the Apollo era. It was also a turbulent decade internationally, and America was no exception. We were at war...Space Talk
🧬 Why $MYNZ is positioned to change cancer screening forever
Mainz Biomed N.V. is tackling one of healthcare’s biggest failures: late cancer detection. Colorectal cancer alone causes ~900,000 deaths per year globally, yet screening participation in some regions is below 60% due
