Fifty years ago, two spacecraft danced closely in formation high above a lunar landscape of grays and tans. On board were John Young (mission commander) and Charles M. Duke Jr (lunar module pilot), ready to undertake an epic journey across its rugged highlands and descend towards its surface. Their objectives included exploring the descartes and…
Honey bees produce the food we all know and love: honey! Packed full of essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes, honey serves as an all-natural preservative when stored properly in its comb – never going bad!

Spacecraft carriers provide an ideal environment for repairs, maintenance and movement of multiple spacecraft at once, making for more efficient movement of both manned and unmanned spacecraft. Spacecraft launched from carriers are vulnerable targets for enemies due to lacking any protection themselves and are easily taken down by opponents. Spacecraft A spacecraft carrier is an…

This song reminds us to remain hopeful even during difficult times, knowing that things will eventually improve. The sun will continue to shine and things will…
Four billion years ago, Mars may have had an atmosphere rich with oxygen that provided conditions conducive to life despite losing much of its atmosphere to space. Making Mars habitable doesn’t need to be an herculean undertaking – researchers say patches can be transformed quickly and affordably by layering thin silica aerogel sheets on its…
