For the first time ever, scientists have grown plants in lunar soil. This FLORIDA and NASA Space Science experiment using Apollo Moon samples could shape the future of sustainable astronaut missions to deep space. Dig into the story: go.nasa.gov/38oVJU6

Don't forget to look up this weekend for a chance to observe a #LunarEclipse! Starting at 10:28pm ET on Sunday, May 15, the eastern half of the United States and all of South America will have the opportunity to watch as the Moon turns a reddish hue: go.nasa.gov/3sxTvZu

Today's the 1-year anniversary of #RocketFridays 🚀! Who knew y'all would love rocket-themed content so much. Well ... actually, we did. 😏

We're back with another #space joke... When astronomers finish calculating the time from sunup to sundown, what do they do? They call it a day. 😆 #MondayMotivation

We're not just landing on the #Moon... we're also building mission-enabling technologies to: 🌑 Mitigate lunar dust 📍 Navigate the lunar surface 🥶 Survive the lunar night 🚀 Test emerging space tech Learn more below! ow.ly/CZCg50J0FkN

We're sending a small satellite to the Moon to test out a lunar orbit that we've never tried before! CAPSTONE will demonstrate the experimental orbit for Gateway Lunar Space Station, our future lunar outpost for NASA Artemis astronauts: go.nasa.gov/3FzSrcD

We like short walks in the desert 🏜, building reusable rockets 🚀, and watching fiery sunsets ☀️. You? 📍 Mojave, CA #TeamMasten

Stuck it. 😏 #ThrowbackThursday

This #throwback from 2011 shows #Xombie 🚀 performing a pad-to-pad flight that's almost identical to the flight path flown by Xoie during the 2009 Lunar Lander Challenge. The difference? Xombie had 60 lbs of payload during this flight... and still stuck the landing!

Now *that's* fire. 🔥 Happy #RocketFridays, y'all!

👏 Congrats to the team. Y'all earned this! #Starliner

It's a bird!? It's a plane!? It's... #Xodiac! After a much-needed holiday, this reusable rocket is almost ready to get back to work. 🚀 Stay tuned!

Lunar ice 🧊 is key to maintain a sustained presence on the #Moon. That's why we designed a Rocket Mining System that can rapidly extract frozen volatiles from the lunar surface using a series of rocket plumes 🔥! interestingengineering.com/moon-volcanoes…

It's not too late to apply for NASA Technology #TechFlights program! The program funds suborbital flights on rockets like ours to test & demonstrate a wide range of #space tech. Learn more below & submit your preliminary proposal by Thursday, June 2! nasa.gov/directorates/s…

Lunar dust is not only a danger to humans but also to spacecraft! That's why developing sustainable landing pads is kind of a big deal. Check out the latest lunar dust study w/ insights from Phil Metzger & proposed solutions like our FAST Landing Pads! universetoday.com/155767/whats-t…
