America needs a ‘Plan B’ to reach the moon first
Monday, 20 October 2025 12:00
China is on track to land its first crew on the lunar surface by 2030 and establish a base at the resource-rich south pole — a site that offers continuous sunlight, access to water ice and control of the most valuable real estate beyond Earth.

ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer walks across the dusty terrain of LUNA, Europe's Moon on Earth. Nearby, ESA's Argonaut lander mock-up stands ready as he carefully navigates the simulated regolith - the dust, soil and rock on the Moon's surface. Alongside a fellow operator, he rehearses a moonwalk under the harsh glare of Sun simulators that mimic lunar lighting to test scientific tools designed to analyse lunar soil and rock.
ESA's robotic explorers, Interact and Spot, join the scene. Spot, the agile robot dog, picks up a sample while Interact, a wheeled robotic arm, supports this rehearsal of autonomous

SpaceX set a milestone Thursday morning as it marked the 130th launch of its Falcon 9 rocket.
The Falcon 9 that launched 28 Starlink satellites took off at 5:57 a.m. EDT Thursday morning from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida and deployed the devices into low-Earth orbit some 64 minutes after leaving the planet.
It represented Falcon 9's 130th flight of the year, only

Are there living microbes on Mars? Check the ice
Sunday, 19 October 2025 07:54
Frozen in time, ancient microbes or their remains could be found in Martian ice deposits during future missions to the Red Planet. By recreating Mars-like conditions in the lab, a team of researchers from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Penn State demonstrated that fragments of the molecules that make up proteins in E. coli bacteria, if present in Mars' permafrost and ice caps, could remain Unexpected discovery on Saturn's moon challenges our view on chemistry before life emerged
Sunday, 19 October 2025 07:54
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the US space agency NASA have made an unexpected discovery that challenges one of the basic rules of chemistry and provides new knowledge about Saturn's enigmatic moon Titan. In its extremely cold environment, normally incompatible substances can still be mixed. This discovery broadens our understanding of chemistry before the emerge Planet formation depends on when it happens: UNLV model shows why
Sunday, 19 October 2025 07:54
A new study led by UNLV scientists sheds light on how planets, including Earth, formed in our galaxy - and why the life and death of nearby stars are an important piece of the puzzle.
In a paper published Sept. 23 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, researchers at UNLV in collaboration with scientists from the Open University of Israel for the first time modeled details about how the tim Where to Find Amazing Space Photography Online

Sunday, 19 October 2025 07:54
NASA's Orion spacecraft was moved seven miles to the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center Thursday, its second-to-last move before its scheduled launch in 2026.
NASA got an exception to allow it to continue work during the government shutdown in certain areas, including the Artemis II mission.
The spacecraft, which contains the crew and service modules, was moved sev
