    “The challenge of the climate crisis is here and now. Let’s answer it—from above.”

    Most of what humanity knows about our changing planet comes from NASA’s more than two-dozen satellites and instruments—and from the agency’s observations for over 60 years.

    NASA Administrator Bill Nelson Congratulates Intuitive Machines on First Lunar Landing

    Intuitive Machines’ IM-1 mission made history on Feb. 22, with the first successful Moon landing by a company. NASA Administrator, Bill Nelson congratulates everyone involved in this great and daring quest.

    NASA science and technology demonstrations now are gathering data on the lunar surface. The mission is expected to continue through the end of the month.

    NASA innovates for the benefit of humanity, and with its Artemis CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative, the agency is working with commercial companies to achieve rapid flights to the Moon. By sending research that advances capabilities for science, exploration, and commercial development of the Moon, CLPS is another example of how NASA is supporting long-term lunar exploration by enabling commercial services on the Moon.

    Money Blender – Iron in a Dollar Bill

    U.S. dollar bills are printed with special inks that contain traces of iron and other magnetic material in an effort to prevent counterfeiting. So, the only logical question that follows is, “Can you get the iron out of a dollar bill?” Steve Spangler accepted the challenge with the help of his friend, Bob Becker, who found a most unusual way to extract the iron from a dollar bill. You’ll be amazed at how much iron is in a single dollar bill.
