A supercomputer simulation of the Apollo 12 landing on the moon was created to "improve its understanding of plume-surface interactions," according to NASA. Credit: Patrick Moran, NASA Ames Research ...

Scylla and her crew have new songs, meaning that as catch as it is, you'll no longer be limited to hearing Coral Crown and I ...

They are gimmicks, they are university experiments. It’s not enough,” the space industry insider says. Australia needs its own rockets. Which brings us back to Gilmour and his Eris rocket.

An animation on SpaceX’s Web site shows how that might happen: Cast-off Falcon 9 stages reenter the atmosphere at between 17 and 25 times the speed of sound, then use their own guidance systems ...

This post-Saturn Nova would have been much larger than the vehicle that powered the Apollo program, with eight F-1 engines pushing the rocket up in the sky, and the spacecraft on top of it to its ...

When did Apollo 11 land on the moon and what happened? On Monday, July 21, 1969, at 3.56am (GMT), Neil Armstrong stepped on to the surface of the moon for the very first time.

Overall, the whole thing is 3.5 times more powerful than NASA’s Saturn V, the biggest rocket built to date, which carried the Apollo missions to the moon.

But a month later, when the Apollo 8 crew gathered in San Diego for their 20-year reunion, Borman publicly admitted he’d been wrong about who took the picture, that it had been Anders.

The simulations show how the engine plumes of NASA's Apollo 12 lander interacted with the lunar surface when the vehicle touched down in November 1969. The lateral, or sideways, force exerted by ...

The Saturn V stands on the launchpad. Flames shoot out as a rocket -- not a Saturn V but another vehicle -- is launched (4:07-4:42). End credits (4:43-4:55). Lunar Orbiter 5 was one of five spacecraft ...

Initiated in 1961, Apollo landed the first humans on the Moon just eight years later, and then continued to do so until 1972. It is only now, in our times, that America is trying to make a ...
