NASA

I am pumped y'all, Artemis 1 launched last night and with it, NASA is officially on its way to the moon once again and will use that platform to eventually launch to Mars. Oh no, I think I have Sqeeed myself again.

I've always been fascinated with stars and I mean real stars like the kind in the sky not the Holywood kind. This week stargazers have a special opportunity to see four planets with the naked eye all lined up across the sky.

I've always been fascinated by the wonders of space since I was very young as most kids are today. When I heard last week the ISS International Space Station is going to be decommissioned in 2030 and come tumbling back to earth in January 2031 I was a bit saddened, to say the least.

This really does work... but why?

Want to visit Mars? Just ask NASA.

Even scientists have soul! Take a listen to 'Jewel in the Night,' by Colonel Chris Hadfield.

Sure glad the sun wasn't pointed at us when this thing went off.

I was just a kid when these pioneer space-faring heroes were breaking new world records and doing things humans had never done before everyday.

With all the renewed interest in space exploration due to the success of the latest Mars probe, where do you think the finances should come from?

Ahhhh NASA, remember the good ol' days when they flew space missions, real men and women did space walks, they launched new satellites and fixed failing ones? Remember those days?

I'm kinda geeky when it comes to this stuff, but I could spend half a day looking at pictures of space if I let myself. When it comes to sending probes out into the vastness of our solar system, you gotta be a little patient in getting some results ...
