http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/constellation/orion/orion_contract.html Woah! There is going to be tense moments tomorrow afternoon. The contract, to be announced at a 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT) news conference in Washington, covers the design, development, production and testing of...

Hi, I have a really big problem, guys. So any help in the form of advice will be really appreciated. Ryt now I'm gettin my undergraduate degree in a medical school. But i really want to work for NASA ( not as a doctor ). So I wanted to know 1.) If it is possible for me to do MS in a...

It mostly concerns Janus, as I remember he submitted a picture of NASA spsace mission patches somewhere to the contest, but anyone who knows would be divine as well. [comments welcome as well] How do you get the patches? (Here some other well known questions.) I received a mail ad to buy these...

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/internet/0,71182-0.html?tw=wn_index_5 I figured if wired.com was publishing this, it was worth noting. This appears to be a Britt who hacked into Nasa websites and found evidence of a UFO coverup. Of course he might be trying to distract from his illegal...

Sir, I am a B.Sc.Physics 3rd year student. I am a bright student and it is my long cherished dream to work in NASA. Could you please tell me about the jobs prospects for physicists there? Are all the jobs in NASA for engineers? If not, a specialization in which branch of physics will...

Is NASA doing anything to advance the science of cosmology? my personal veiw is that this agency is a total waste of money, money that could be spent, doing robust scientific cosmological related experiments, what do you think?

I know this particular cons-theory has been done to death already, but does anyone on this forum have the means to examine the rate of fall of dust from the lunar rovers wheels as seen on NASA film footage? If the whole thing was filmed on Earth the one thing no one can fake is gravitational...

This just in: They just re-acquired signal with the MRO after it went around the far side of Mars. They are waiting to ensure it is in the correct orbit right now.

I saw a video demonstration some years ago of a NASA scientist holding flat in his hand a thermal tile used for the space shuttle. He then took a blow tourch and directed it at the thermal tile, to demonstrate that he could comfortably hold the tile with his bare hand(from behind of course) and...

not sure exactly where to put this so general discussion sounds good. Last night i was once again watchin TV flipping throguh channels so i stopped on discovery about half way through this issue. I don't remeber who this guy was i believe he used to be sumthing to do with US government and...

Yeah, they'll have those right after they have satellites that can scratch your ass with a laser beam from space. Cheers...

Hey there everyone, Out of curiosity have many of you noted the NASA innovation project has a suitor for its courting of a better way to explore space. The basic concept is that a relatively stationary object can propel the moving spacecraft further faster, and more explicity the proposal...

Is it very difficult for an aerospace engineer to get a position at NASA?

Which probability is greater? becoming a professional athlete? or working for NASA?

Due date: TOMORROW! 300 word limit There are optimists who believe that technology will make human immortality possible, even allowing humans to escape the universe once its collapse is inevitable. There are pessimists who believe that technology will lead to weapons that will wipe out human...

On the Science Channel's review of Science 2004, one science journalist commented that Burt Rutan et al have shamed NASA with the design used to win the X prize. I think he makes a really good point. Rutan did for $30 million what NASA has never managed with Billions. Even though the Mars...

Hi, I have been looking through the main NASA site for an opportunity of working at NASA in the future. I have found the career that I found interesting: professional engineering. I have been informed that NASA is the best place to work and have always dreamed of going there myself to see...

I am a junior in high school and I live in New York. I am planning on going to an undergrad school around here for 2 years after I graduate, then transfering over to UCLA or one of the better physics schools in the west coast. I am not sure yet what aspect of physics I want to major in, but I...

I just saw the live broadcast of NASA Caltech Spirit on Mars. Without knowing any background or foreground, I saw a Chinese man overreacting... Looks unnatural. Anyone know who he is??

Hello, I just completed viewing a documentary on The Learning Channel on time travel, and what they said greatly suprised me: satellites that NASA uses are set up so that the clock on the satellite is rewinded or set to adjust to the fraction of a second the satellite gains by traveling...

Did NASA Accidentally “Nuke” Jupiter? If you're not familiar with Richard Hoagland, famed for his claims of alien bases on the moon, Egyptian looking structures on Mars, and many familiar stories from the wild side, in fact, as I understand, he was once considered a highly respected scientist...

Some more interesting information I came across: This is an attempt by Nasa to replicate results by Podkletnov http://members.tripod.com/richard_crandall/id53.htm This is a theory on gravimetrics. He claims in here that you need a PHD in physics to fully understand it, but see what you...

"JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, Texas (AP) -- The space shuttle engineers who desperately wanted zoom-in satellite pictures of the damaged Columbia in orbit never spoke up at key meetings and never told the manager in charge of the flight. They were too uncomfortable. Too afraid. "...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/1996/01/image/a Now this should make for an entertaining conversation on a rainy weekend. What is the plausibility that NASA has really found the beginning of time? That photograph is of the area of space at the extreme range of the HST. So what is...
