New Crater

NASA has a spectacular image of a fresh crater on Mars.

Hundreds of small craters are created by incoming meteors each year on Mars.

Harry Reid

Former senator Harry Reid is calling on Congress to hold public hearings on UFOs.

Reid represented Nevada, home of Area 51.  He also helped establish the Pentagon's recently acknowledged UFO investigation program.

Artemis Money

NASA is estimating the Artemis program, including landing astronauts on the Moon by 2024, could cost taxpayers between $20 and $30 billion.

That's well less than the overall cost of ISS, for example.

Alien Life

A new study cuts down the areas in which complex life forms could develop.

It might, therefore, limit the number of homes for intelligent life.

DFD

The Direct Fusion Drive could cut flight times and power deep space probes as early as 2028.

It could also power space stations and bases on the Moon and Mars.

Alpha Centauri

Astronomers are closely studying the Alpha Centauri system in search of another planet.

The search is just beginning.

Landing Sites

The first companies to land instruments on the Moon as part of the Artemis program are selecting landing sites.

For safety, all three sites are in the smooth northern plains of the near side.
