After the samples are recovered, we’ll launch the first... rocket from the surface of Mars to bring these samples back to Earth.show more

1/ today, with the launch of muse image and... the preview of muse video, we wanted to share more samples from the model alongside research details and eval results see some more samples from muse video below (and see thread for research blog!)show more

Hey NASA Just wondering what this Fly is doing... in this unedited clip of your Mars Rover on the Surface of Mars. Is it:- A) You discovered life on Mars & flies are now known to exist on the planet? Or B) You filmed this on Earth, inadvertently recorded the Fly & are trying to pretend this is from the surface of Mars?show more

🪨 Real footage captured by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft near... the surface of the near-Earth asteroid Bennu! The spacecraft visited the asteroid to refine the calculation of its orbit through the year 2300 and to collect surface samples. 🛰️☝️ Refining Bennu's orbit revealed that a collision with Earth could occur on September 24, 2182, with a probability of 0.04%.show more

It’s time for the next lesson. ✨ Here’s your... first look at Russian Diesel 10 — Neil Crone’s first attempt at the character. We’ll have more samples once the audio tapes come back from being digitized. Thank you for $3,000 in donations. The magic is finally being restored.show more

Here's a comparison of swimming pools on Earth, Mars,... and the Moon. Splash Earth Mars > Moon Relative to Earth: the Wave height on Mars is about 1.6x, and travels at 0.6x the speed. The wave height on the Moon is about 2.5x, and travels at 0.4x the speed. The model is idealized of course, and these numbers are for the pool’s waves, but not the height of airborne splash droplets, just FYI.show more

China just landed a probe on the far side... of the Moon - this time nearer the south pole, to gather volcanic samples using a scoop and drill, and blast them back to Earth. They've partnered with Sweden, France and Italy. Proving the tech needed to land Chinese astronauts by 2030.show more

🚨 NASA JUST FOUND THE RAW INGREDIENTS OF DNA... INSIDE A ROCK OLDER THAN EARTH ITSELF. Samples returned from the asteroid Bennu contain complex organic molecules including precursors to DNA and RNA, plus many of the amino acids used by all life on Earth. These molecules formed in the early solar system and survived for billions of years inside the asteroid. Earth didn’t have to invent the chemistry of life from nothing. It was delivered ready-made from space. Why this matters: • Bennu is a primitive asteroid that has remained largely unchanged since the birth of the solar system (~4.5 billion years ago) • The samples contain the molecular building blocks of DNA, RNA, and proteins the core components of life as we know it • These organics were preserved through the violent early days of the solar system and could have been delivered to Earth by asteroids and comets • This is some of the strongest direct evidence yet that life’s chemistry has cosmic origins The deeper implication: This doesn’t mean aliens or microbes came from space. It means the raw materials for life were already floating around the solar system long before Earth cooled enough to support life. Our planet likely received these ingredients from above rather than creating them all from scratch. If these building blocks were common in the early solar system, then the starting chemistry for life may have been widespread dramatically raising the chances that similar processes could have happened elsewhere. How does it change your perspective to know that the molecular ingredients for DNA were already present in space billions of years before the first living cell appeared on Earth? Follow for more discoveries about the origins of life and what we’re learning from asteroid samples.show more

Do you want to go to mars? Yes or... no?! SpaceX has the goal of sending the first uncrewed Starship to Mars in 2024. Elon Musk is "highly confident" SpaceX will land humans on Mars by 2026. The first crewed Nasa Mars Mission, which would include sending astronauts to Mars, orbiting Mars, and a return to Earth, is proposed for the 2030s. Technology development for US government missions to Mars is underway, but there is no well-funded approach to bring the conceptual project to completion with human landings on Mars by the mid-2030s, SpaceXshow more
