Using a pair of giant scissors made possible by technology developed during the Apollo program, the director of the Johnson Space Flight Center announced the opening of a really cool facility to house their Saturn V rocket, one of only two complete ones left after the Apollo program ended.
There is a third, […]
I’m a blogger that likes to do more than just whine and complain while others do all the work, I like to be a part of the solution.
In this post, I’ve written that the Kepler team has had some financial difficulty, so much so that NASA had all but cancelled the project.
In a nutshell:
In 2006, […]
I know I rail against NASA on this blog probably a little more than is fair, but this time, I have to hand it to ‘em.
In 2006, the Kepler team asked for, and received, a 21% budget increase. They also said they needed more time, an additional five months, in order to get the […]
This gave me a laugh:

The New Scientist Space Blog is reporting that there is not much interest in the International Space Station from government or private agencies.
Duh. Could that be because no one knows what the hell it’s good for? Or what it’s purpose is? Or […]
In a paper that will come out in this week’s issue of the journal Nature, researchers proposed a blueprint for constructing a 20 - 100 meter (66 - 328 foot) diameter objective mirror using reflective liquid.
The authors propose using liquid mirrors in a telescope to be built on the moon because:
The major advantages of liquid […]
The big news out of NASA today is that the Chandra Observatory recorded the brightest supernova seen so far.
AstroProf has a really good post about it here. He points out out that by bright, we don’t mean the brightest in the sky (those are usually within our own galaxy), rather we mean that this […]
I’m in a scifi mood these days, having just come back from StarFest in Denver last weekend and, as if he was reading my mood, a reader pointed me to this article on the possibility of warp drive.
Of course, it doesn’t come as any surprise that we don’t have this capability now, nor are we […]
NASA is looking for volunteers to write code. In an attempt to start an open source collaboration with software developers, NASA has started CosmosCode:
CosmosCode will build a core offering of free and open source space software through an independent project hosting website, and the development and management of a free software community specific to […]
Today’s astronomy porn comes from the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS). In 2008, NASA plans to smash some hardware into the moon to try and find water. Finding water on the Moon would dramatically simplify setting up bases there since we wouldn’t have to carry it with us, a heavy proposition.
Here’s […]
