It’s hard to believe that 40 years ago today, 3 men, Neil Armstrong, “Buzz” Aldrin, and Michael Collins set out on the greatest journey ever undertaken by mankind. On this day, in 1969, Apollo 11 roared off the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, into the heavens, and the history books. On July 20, 1969, Neil [...]

I have often wondered how the Hubble Telescope was able to image the region of sky that has come to be known as the Hubble Deep Field. This short video answers that question! Enjoy!

This is not the first time that two Space Shuttles have graced the launch pads at KSC, but it is the first time that one Shuttle (Endeavour) has been prepped as a rescue Vehicle for another Shuttle (Atlantis). Atlantis is poised to head for the Hubble Space Telescope on October 10, from Launch Complex 39A, [...]

November 15, 1988 is a date that has been forgotten by many. That is the day that the former Soviet Union launched the Space Shuttle “Buran.” The Soviet Shuttle was, in many ways more superior to the American Shuttle. “Buran” had a better heat shield, it’s engines were able to provide powered flight upon re-entry [...]

The Large Hadron Collider is set to be switched on in Switzerland next week. “So what?” you may ask. Well, some people think this massive particle accelerator will bring about the end of the world by creating mini black holes. Maybe this song will help quell your fears:
