The International Space Station National Laboratory just launched "Between a Rocket and a Hard Space," a brand-new podcast that explores the future of space innovation.

After over a decade of stellar service, ESA’s Gaia spacecraft has been retired – but its legacy is just beginning. From mapping nearly two billion stars to uncovering galactic secrets, Gaia revolutionized our understanding of the Milky Way.

Misrepresentation of Facts: Wilmore pointed out that while they were indeed "stuck" in a sense, the narrative of being "left and forgotten in orbit" was a gross mischaracterization. Rather, they were engaged in continuous training and scientific work.

Two NASA astronauts, Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, stuck in space for over nine months looked on the bright side, saying all the international attention on their mission will be good for future space exploration.

"We're all excited to have you back, and we're ready to leverage your experiences and expertise in the Space Force."

Four astronauts from NASA, JAXA, and Roscosmos are teaming up for an ambitious mission aboard the International Space Station. Launching no earlier than July 2025, the Crew-11 expedition will support

Space travel is risky for humans, but are AI robots ready to take over? Discover the challenges, potential, and future of AI-assisted space exploration.

A spacecraft that is used to bring food, fuel and other supplies to the International Space Station has reportedly been damaged, putting future trips on hold. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The final messages sent to Gaia will continue to be carried out into space as the observatory sleeps, and as data from it continues to contribute to astronomy. As Gaia Mission Manager Uwe Lammers put it: “We will never forget Gaia, and Gaia will never forget us.”

The future of space exploration and technological advancement hinges on a robust framework built on these four pillars: communication, collaboration, education and creativity. Fostering these elements becomes even more critical as we stand at the precipice of interstellar exploration and revolutionary breakthroughs.
