NASA has announced big changes to its Artemis plan, aiming to get more rockets flying and reduce risks. The new strategy keeps the goal of landing astronauts on the Moon in 2028 but rearranges how that happens. Instead of waiting three years between launches, the agency now wants a flight every ten
NASA’s biggest space plan is facing a fresh snag. After a recent test, engineers discovered that helium – the gas used to keep fuel tanks full and clean – was not flowing properly in the upper section of the Space Launch System (SLS). Because the problem cannot be fixed on the launchpad, the rocket
NASA is working hard to stop fuel leaks on its big rocket before the next test. The Space Launch System (SLS) used for Artemis missions has had a problem with hydrogen leaking during fueling. The leak caused a practice countdown to stop early in February. Scientists traced the problem to the
NASA has been asked to hit the brakes on spending for over 15 science projects. This pause comes from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), even though Congress recently approved a budget that restored NASA's funding. The projects on hold include some big names, like the Chandra X-Ray Observato
Space exploration is taking a new turn as two of America’s richest men sharpen their sights on the Moon. Elon Musk’s SpaceX, once fixated on Mars, is now planning a lunar outpost called “Moonbase Alpha. ” The goal? To set up a launch pad on the Moon that will send satellites into space, forming part
NASA’s plan to send a crew to the moon after half a century has hit a snag. During a practice launch on January 31, 2026, the rocket that will carry four astronauts began leaking liquid hydrogen. The leak forced engineers to stop the fuel flow, fix it, and then restart—only for the problem to recur
Space travel is tough on the body. Astronauts face big health challenges, especially on long trips like going to Mars. Space medicine is all about keeping them healthy in places where doctors aren't around. It's like having a health plan for extreme conditions. Lifestyle medicine is a big deal on E
NASA is preparing to send astronauts on a journey around the moon, but there's a catch. The Orion spacecraft, which will carry the crew, has a heat shield with a known issue. This heat shield is supposed to protect the astronauts from extreme heat when they return to Earth. The problem is, during a
NASA is preparing to send astronauts on a moon mission using the Orion spacecraft, but there are concerns about its safety. The main issue is with the heat shield, which protects the spacecraft during reentry. The heat shield on the previous uncrewed test flight, Artemis I, showed unexpected damage.
Center in the Square is making room for something fresh. They're saying goodbye to the science museum that's been there for years. This move is part of a bigger plan to shake things up and bring in new experiences. The science museum had its time, but now it's time to make way for something differe
