“Houston, we have a problem.” It's one of the most famous quotes in movie history, but did you know that when the Apollo 13 oxygen tank exploded #OTD in 1970 astronaut Jim Lovell actually said, “Houston, we've HAD a problem”? Experience the moment: go.nasa.gov/3G2MlWQ

It’s been just over a week since our launch. As I reflect, these are the core memories that will stay with me from that unforgettable day: Watching the suit engineers meticulously check each connection and seal—something I deeply appreciated. Seeing my friends and family during

Against all odds, the Apollo 13 crew splashed down in the Pacific Ocean 55 years ago today. Through ingenuity, quick thinking, and dedication, each obstacle that faced the mission was ultimately overcome.

DMS is not a robust biomarker. It has been found on a comet and one needs to investigate abiotic production mechanisms before connecting it to life.

The White House has released its top-level ("skinny") budget proposal for FY2026. For NASA, that includes previously reported deep science cuts, ending SLS and Orion after Artemis 3, and scaling back ISS operations.

Following an evaluation of partnership proposals for VIPER, NASA has decided to explore alternative approaches to deliver its water-seeking robot to the lunar surface. We appreciate the efforts of those who submitted proposals and look forward to accomplishing volatile science

On this day in 1969, the crew of Apollo 10 (Gene Cernan, John Young, and Tom Stafford) launched on a mission nearly identical to #Apollo11 with one exception: they didn't land on the Moon. More about the mission: s.si.edu/3SHTNJO

On this day in 1966, Surveyor 1 landed on the Moon. It was the first U.S. spacecraft to make a true soft landing on the lunar surface. Pictured here is a Surveyor engineering model in our collection.

I captured this image of the Mangrove National Park in Abu Dhabi from the International Space Station. The park comprises around 75% of the UAE's total mangrove forest area, showcasing the perfect harmony between our natural beauty and biodiversity. #WorldEnvironmentDay

“The laser rangefinder used to measure the distance to the lunar surface experienced delays in obtaining valid measurement values. As a result, the lander was unable to decelerate sufficiently to reach the required speed for the planned lunar landing.” ispace
