This eight and a half minute video is from the point of view of the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Booster with sound mixing and enhancement done by the folks at Star Wars/Skywalker Sound. Watch as the shuttle reaches speeds of up to 3000mph! The sound is all from the camera microphones and not fake or replaced with foley artist sound. Amazing.
The Blue Marble is a famous photograph of the Earth taken by the crew of Apollo 17 in 1972, which showed a super clear image of the Earth illuminated by the Sun in a view that was never seen before. For the past 40 years this image of Earth has been one of a few images that we have, but it has now finally been complimented with The Black Marble, stunning hi-res images of Earth at night.
It’s called “Space Drink” or AS10, and it was created by NASA scientists to protect astronauts from the harmful radiation of the sun. According to NASA and new research from scientists at the University of Utah, drinking the Space Drink will provide noticeable reduction in facial wrinkles and signs of reduction in aging.
Getting to zero gravity happens in space, when you reach total weightlessness and you can literally float in air. NASA has long since replicated this here on Earth with their astronaut programs, even nicknaming their test machine the “Vomit Comet.” This may change if BRC Imagination Arts out of California gets their way, as they look to design and build the world’s first zero gravity roller coaster, which would be available to the general public.
This time lapse video is taken from the NASA Space Station using imagery compiled by NASA’s Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. It’s an amazing video, and well worth the watch for a view that is so rarely seen.
I literally just wrote about the NASA astrobiology news conference that is happening later today and what NASA may be having the conference about and low and behold, the details have just been leaked! So much for the embargo by the Science Journal (or whomever leaked the details). Guess it was just too exciting for them to wait - and why not - it is very exciting! Gizmodo picked up the story.
NASA has discovered a completely new life form that doesn’t share the biological building blocks of anything currently living in planet Earth. This changes everything.
Has NASA finally found life on Mars or any other planet in our universe? The answer may very well be yes. We will find out in a news conference that NASA will be having today.
NASA Sets News Conference on Astrobiology Discovery;
Science Journal Has Embargoed Details Until 2 p.m. EST On Dec. 2
NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe.
