NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine Highlights Moon and Mars Exploration
We’re returning to the Moon, to stay, and nine American companies will work on developing technologies to get there. Watch the latest episode of Watch this Space with NASA’s Administrator Jim Bridenstine to learn how we’re going forward to the lunar surface.
NASA Begins America’s New Moon to Mars Exploration Approach in 2018 — The Year @ NASA
2018 was a huge success! We launched a mission to “touch” the Sun, stuck another nearly flawless #MarsLanding, marked our #NASA60th anniversary of opening our doors for business, welcomed NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine and began #Apollo50 celebrations! That’s just some of what happened This Year @ NASA — there’s even more at http://www.nasa.gov/2018.

Israeli spacecraft gets final element before 2019 moon launch
At 60,000 km (37,000 miles) above Earth, the spacecraft will split off from the Falcon launch vehicle. It will at first orbit Earth in expanding ellipses and, about two months later, cross into the moon’s orbit. It will then slow and carry out a soft landing which should cause no damage to the craft.
“Our landing site is located somewhere between the landing sites of Apollo 15 and Apollo 17,” Anteby said. “It’s a flat area. But still it has small craters and a lot of boulders.”
What happens when the Orion spacecraft returns back to Earth after traveling thousands of miles into deep space?
Splashdown. Our engineers are testing the airbags to ensure they deploy and keep the spacecraft upright when it splashes into the ocean — even through rough waves or high winds. Dive in: https://go.nasa.gov/2Ek4ttf
Buzz Aldrin To Steph Curry: ‘Go Ask The Russians’ If We Landed On The Moon
Buzz to Steph Curry on the Moon landings: “Go ask the Russians…” Priceless. #buzzaldrin #Moon #NASA #MadhuThangavelu https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2018/12/12/buzz-aldrin-steph…sBqDDiE-k4
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — The second man to walk on the moon doesn’t want to talk about NBA superstar Steph Curry’s theory that it never happened.
Former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, one of three men who took part in the Apollo 11 moon landing mission, was at USC Tuesday night to hear presentations by students on why the U.S. should attempt to return to the moon.
The event came hours after Curry raised doubts over whether humans ever landed on the moon during an appearance with other NBA players on the “Winging It” podcast.
