A man calling himself a UFO hunter has observed some strange things happening on the International Space Station’s life feed. Conspiracy theories abound
So, there really actually could be the chance for humans to move to Mars as an alternative planet. Isn’t that exciting? Obviously it’s going to take a bit more research…
An actual rocket destined for space exploded yesterday. Not to worry though, there were no dogs or monkeys on board. Just loads and loads of space-food.
While driving in his car, a YouTuber caught some bizarre maneuvering aerial lights above the city of Houston. Could it have been a UFO? See the video and make up your own mind.
This is real innovation, and the whole engine was made by a 3D printer…. out of this world!
Yes, North Korea does have a space program, aptly and ironically named the National Aerospace Development Administration – NADA. Not only is the North Korean space program’s name suspiciously similar to NASA, its new official logo bears an uncanny resemblance to NASA’s.
That’s correct. 3D food printers aren’t just limited to organisations like NASA. Machines like the Foodini could be on your kitchen counter very soon, that is if you are willing to shell out around R15,000.
For astronauts, eating a simple pizza is out of the question, relegated to the memory of their good times back on Earth. For obvious reasons, those poor guys up there are stuck with canned and freeze-dried prepackaged foods. But things are looking up. Last year NASA hired a mechanical engineer to build a prototype of a […]
Specifically, the weird rock appeared near the Mars Rover ‘Opportunity’, which has been exploring the red planet since 2004.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield paid tribute to Madiba on behalf of NASA, as he and many other astronauts took to twitter to share their condolences, and celebrate his life.
Just when you thought the Curiosity Rover was just digging up dirt up in vain up on the red planet, it’s gone and struck gold – well, water, actually. That’s right, believe it or not, there’s water on Mars.
Do you want to lie in bed for 70 days and not have a worry in the world? NASA has the job for you. They are looking for candidates to help them further their research into space and all they need you to do is lie in bed. You can do anything you want, as long as you continue to lie down.
On 6 September, NASA’s rocket Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) took off from Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. At the same time, a frog took one giant leap for amphibiankind and photobombed the whole thing. Take that, rocket ship.
NASA has plans to capture an asteroid, using a robotic space lasso, then tow it in to the moon’s orbit where it can be explored and studied by astronauts. How do they plan on doing that?
NASA has a VEGGIE program, thats short for the Vegetable Production System programme, somehow. After successful attempts to grow zucchinis and other plants in zero gravity under artificial lights, NASA has announced plans to sustain space travellers on the International Space Station with produce grown on the station itself.
Sunday marked the one year anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s death, and NASA released this music video as a tribute to the late astronaut. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon as commander of NASA’s Apollo 11 lunar landing mission.
It has almost been a year since NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover touched down on the red planet. The WALL-E lookalike landed on Mars on 6 August last year, and since then has been drilling into the martian planet, collecting soil samples and taking some of the best selfies in the universe.
This is NASA’s largest and most powerful rocket to date. And the aim is for it to have its first test flight in 2017. Low-Earth orbit travel will be a thing of the past for NASA: they want the Space Launch System to take them to new heights.
Google and NASA are joining forces to create and study Artificial Intelligence. This new breed of super computer could change everything. The Quantum Computer will be programmed to behave like a human and make decisions based on the data it is provided with.
If you have ever wanted to be an astronaut, but the thought of eating food that miraculously appeared from powder creeped you out, this might be the thing that changes your mind. Take a look why.
A meteorite collided with the surface of the Moon creating an explosion 10 times greater than anything ever seen before – it was the Moon’s biggest explosion to date. It was even visible from Earth with the naked eye.
Going to space isn’t such a big deal these days. Basically, you just need enough money and you can go. But if you have enough money, you might as well go on your own, or with some mates, right?
SA editors freak out over Gaga censorship. MNET sorry for horror film schedule. Dalai Lama to be re-invited. Leveson report blasts Murdoch. Ecclestone berates ‘unbecoming’ Ferrari. Assange has chronic lung condition. DSK settles with maid.
For the first time in nearly 50 years, NASA has used a small prototype of a nuclear-reactor engine design to test whether this could one day power deep-space exploration probes.
That is correct, our very own Elon Musk is staying true to his word about doing things on Mars. Except he’s changed his tune slightly – he no longer just wants to send one person all the way there.
Gautrain under strain. Agriculture minister denies Zumaville donation. Skydiver Cancels Try at Supersonic Jump. Challenge to Eskom’s electricity monopoly. Australia PM’s Epic Rant on Sexism. Scottish to vote on independence. Twitter Mulls an In-House Video-Hosting Service.
Big blow as Moody’s downgrades South Africa. Malema’s gang calls Mthembu a ‘drunkard’. ‘Most wanted’ traffic offender nabbed. Facebook cracking down on fake ‘Likes’. Mars rover Curiosity finds signs of ancient stream.
This massive solar whip or filament is 800 000 kilometers long. That’s 20 times the circumference of the earth. Makes you feel small, doesn’t it. The gigantic solar filament collapse has been caught on a NASA observatory camera.
Unless you’re currently in some kind of deep space training program, or you have some diabolical plan that no one knows about, the chances are pretty slim that you’ll ever actually get to set foot on Mars. Thankfully, we’ve got the next best thing for you, a fully interactive 360° panorama from the surface of the Red Planet. Enjoy.
