NASA Graphics Standards Manual

     
The NASA Graphics Standards Manual by Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn is a futuristic vision for an agency at the cutting edge of science and exploration.
The book features a foreword by Richard Danne, an essay by Christopher Bonanos, scans of the original manual (from Danne’s personal copy), reproductions of the original NASA 35mm slide presentation, and scans of the ‘Managers Guide’, a follow up booklet distributed by NASA.

"In 2015, Audi went into partnership with Germany's Part-Time Scientists team to help develop the Audi lunar Quattro unmanned lunar rover for the Google Lunar X-Prize. The latest iteration of the rover and its landing craft are now undergoing extensive testing ahead of a planned visit to the landing site of the Apollo 17 mission late next year..."

Building the International Space Station took over 40 missions between 1998 and 2011, with one more piece planned for delivery in 2015. Now you can watch the whole thing come together in just a few seconds thanks to this construction timelapse!

NASA's Orion Space Launch: Success!

To some people this is just another rocket sent to space "Big Deal!!"
But this launch is a big deal. Its the first time we have attempted to go this far in space with Humans since the Moon.
Watch videos in either order:

This video show the actual launch plus onboard cameras.

This Video explains what you just watched of the actual launch.

The Most Amazing View Of The Earth You’ll Ever See

I want to go to space so bad!

FACT-

Outer Space is only an hours drive from away-
if your could drive there.

We don't just revolve around the sun, we travel with it.

Fact...

Pluto never made a full orbit around the sun from the time it was discovered to when it was declassified as a planet.

Ascent - Commemorating Shuttle

As a Huge fan of space exploration and someone you who has studied photography. This is by far one of the best things i have ever watched.

Props to the people that put this all together.


Photographic documentation of a Space Shuttle launch plays a critical role in the engineering analysis and evaluation process that takes place during each and every mission. Motion and Still images enable Shuttle engineers to visually identify off-nominal events and conditions requiring corrective action to ensure mission safety and success. This imagery also provides highly inspirational and educational insight to those outside the NASA family.
This compilation of film and video presents the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery from STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124 missions. Rendered in the highest definition possible, this production is a tribute to the dozens of men and women of the Shuttle imaging team and the 30yrs of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.
The video was produced by Matt Melis at the Glenn Research Center. Ben Burtt Jr. and the Team at Skywalker Sound helped with the Riding the Booster Video.

Earth - Seen from Mars

This view of the twilight sky and Martian horizon taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover includes Earth as the brightest point of light in the night sky. Earth is a little left of center in the image, and our moon is just below Earth. Researchers used the left eye camera of Curiosity's Mast Camera (Mastcam) to capture this scene about 80 minutes after sunset on the 529th Martian day, or sol, of the rover's work on Mars (Jan. 31, 2014). The image has been processed to remove effects of cosmic rays.
A human observer with normal vision, if standing on Mars, could easily see Earth and the moon as two distinct, bright "evening stars."
The distance between Earth and Mars when Curiosity took the photo was about 99 million miles (160 million kilometers).
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the project's Curiosity rover. Malin Space Science Systems, San Diego, built and operates the rover's Mastcam.
More information about Curiosity is online at http://www.nasa.gov/msl and http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/.

Ballboy - A Day in Space

Balloon Capsule Ride to the Edge of Earth

"Slated for its inaugural liftoff in 2016, World View brings the concept of going where few men have gone before to every average, untrained Joe and Jane...in possession of $75,000 to back up their sightseeing dream. The travel capsule, which can tote up to 8 passengers, spends the first 1-1/2 of its 4-hour round-trip tour on the balloon ascent. Once cruising altitude is reached, the balloon releases its attached capsule/human contents for another 2 hours' worth of ridiculously high view intakes--and free-falling--before the capsule returns from the rim of space to more recognizable airplane heights on earth."
