    Brad Pitt Speaks with NASA Astronaut Nick Hague Aboard the International Space Station

    “What’s a spacewalk like? What do you feel?” As NASA prepares to send the first woman and next man to the Moon by 2024 under the #Artemis program, Brad Pitt is playing an astronaut in his latest film, Ad Astra. On Sept. 16 from NASA Headquarters in Washington, the actor spoke to astronaut Nick Hague about what it’s truly like to live and work in space.

    Here are the questions that Brad Pitt asked Nick Hague?
    0:59 How did we do [in the movie]? How was our Zero-G?
    1:33 Do you know what everything is on the wall behind you?
    2:33 What are the repercussions on your body in Zero-G?
    2:38 How do you gauge your waking hours if you see 16 sunrises and sunsets each day?
    3:50 Is there a night shift?
    4:45 Could you see the Chandrayaan-2 Moon mission from the International Space Station?
    6:15 What are your current missions?
    8:02 What does spaceflight affect your mental state? How do you keep it at peace?
    9:25 What is your experience like as you look back on Earth?
    10:57 Who controls the jam box?
    11:49 How are you able to stay in a single space?
    12:53 How are you using 3D printing in space?
    14:33 What is a spacewalk like?
    16:18 Who is more believable playing an astronaut (George Clooney or Brad Pitt)?

  • Inside NASA’s Psyche Mission to Learn about Collisions and Crater Formation

    Inside NASA’s Psyche Mission to Learn about Collisions and Crater Formation

    One of the first steps in understanding the geology of Psyche is for the Psyche science team to find out more about collisions and crater formation on metallic asteroids. Join Psyche Mission Science Team Co-Investigator Simone Marchi of the Southwest Research Institute as he explains how impact experiments are conducted at NASA’s Ames Vertical Gun Range and what we can learn about the cratering process to further understand and interpret the geology of Psyche.

    Views of Hurricane Dorian from the International Space Station – September 6, 2019

    Cameras outside the International Space Station captured views at 8:10 a.m. Eastern time September 6 of a weakening Hurricane Dorian from 260 miles in altitude as it churned just off the outer banks of North Carolina. In its 8 a.m. EDT advisory, the National Hurricane Center said category 1 Hurricane Dorian is moving toward the northeast near 14 mph with maximum sustained winds of 90 miles an hour. The general motion of Dorian, with an increase in forward speed, is expected through Saturday. On the forecast track, the center of Dorian will move near or over the coast of North Carolina during the next several hours. The center should move to the southeast of extreme southeastern New England tonight and Saturday morning, and then across Nova Scotia late Saturday or Saturday night.

    Dorian should remain a potent hurricane as it moves near or along the coast of North Carolina during the next several hours. Dorian is forecast to become a post-tropical cyclone with hurricane-force winds by Saturday night as it approaches Nova Scotia. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles from the center of the system and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 miles.

    Views of Hurricane Dorian from the International Space Station – September 2, 2019

    Cameras outside the International Space Station captured views at 11:27 a.m. EDT on Sept. 2 of Hurricane Dorian from 260 miles in altitude as it churned over northwestern Bahamas. In its 11:00 a.m. EDT advisory, the National Hurricane Center said Dorian was almost stationary, moving toward the west at just 1 mile an hour just over 100 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida, packing catastrophic sustained winds of 155 miles an hour. A slow westward to west-northwestward motion is forecast during the next day or so, followed by a gradual turn toward the northwest and north. On this track, the core of extremely dangerous Hurricane Dorian will continue to pound Grand Bahama Island through much of today and tonight. The hurricane will move dangerously close to the east coast of Florida tonight through Wednesday evening and dangerously close to the Georgia and South Carolina coasts Wednesday night and Thursday. Currently, Dorian is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Although gradual weakening is forecast, Dorian is expected to remain a powerful hurricane during the next couple of days while moving on a possible track up the southeastern U.S. seaboard.

After a landing that included dodging a lunar crater and boulder field just before touchdown, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin explored the area around their lunar landing site for more than two hours.

    When the lunar module landed at 4:17 p.m EDT, only 30 seconds of fuel remained. Armstrong radioed “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.” Mission control erupted in celebration as the tension breaks, and a controller tells the crew “You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue, we’re breathing again.”

    Watch a fully functional launch abort system (LAS) and test Orion spacecraft launch to an altitude of 31,000 feet at Mach 1.15 (more than 1,000 mph)! On July 2, 2019, NASA successfully demonstrated the Orion spacecraft’s launch abort system can outrun a speeding rocket and pull astronauts to safety during an emergency during launch. News release: https://go.nasa.gov/2Xg7mkJ Orion was launched atop a Northrop Grumman provided booster from Launch Pad 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The test is another milestone in the agency’s preparation for Artemis missions to the Moon that will lead to astronaut missions to Mars.

    NASA Explorers: Giant Leaps

    What does a half-century of lunar science sound like? Join Moon data expert Ernie Wright on a musical time-traveling journey through the Apollo program and the exploration era of today. We explore what we knew about the Moon before Apollo, what we discovered because of it and the mysteries today’s scientists are working to solve.

    Elena, from Nantes, France, shares her memory of watching the Apollo 11 landing from a friend’s house in Seattle.

  • Introducing NASA Explorers: Apollo, an Audio Series

    Introducing NASA Explorers: Apollo, an Audio Series

    NASA Explorers: Apollo is an audio series that tells stories of the Moon and the people who explore it. During the Apollo program, the Moon became a part of the human domain. Twelve astronauts walked on the lunar surface, conducted research there and collected Moon rocks to bring back to Earth for study. Fifty years after humanity’s first steps on the Moon, today’s lunar scientists are searching for answers to the big questions: How did the Moon form? How did our solar system evolve? Did the Moon help life on Earth get its start?

    Meet a Moon detective, scientists who study space rocks and people from all over the world whose lives were shaped by the epic adventures of the Apollo program. You can listen to NASA Explorers: Apollo on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Google Play and Facebook Watch.
