If you are the sort of geek that likes space travel, you have to be enamored by the manned missions to the moon in the 60′s and 70′s. Of all the missions…

Apparently, a 73-year-old woman named Joann Davis has had a tiny sliver of rock from the moon smaller than a grain of rice since 1987 when her husband died. Davis claims the…

If you are a space geek that uses an iPhone or an Android device, and are into space and space exploration, NASA has rounded up a bunch of sounds for you. The…

We all think we can win the lottery even though the odds against us are in the millions to one range. NASA has a massive satellite the size of a bus set…

NASA is tired of all that space junk that’s orbiting our planet. The myriad of broken satellites and other junk orbiting poses a hazard to functioning satellites that are in orbit. A…

Yep, this was a real plane that was created by NASA and it’s called the AD-1. It’s got these strange oblique wings that are turned 60-degrees across its fuselage. The main question…
