As if astronauts weren't awesome enough already... And if you're reading this Bowie, live show in space?

El astronauta canadiense regresó a casa después de cinco meses fuera de la Tierra. El primer video musical hecho en el Espacio según Mashable , llegó de la mano del astronauta canadiense  Chris Hadfield , quien hizo un cover al clásico de David Bowie y grabó su propio video abordo del  International Space Station mientras regresaba a la Tierra. Con ayuda de Evan Hadfield , pudo producir este video en el que la canción se convierte en realidad y es llevada a su habitat natural. Después de cinco meses de estar [...]

First discovered by the Voyager spacecraft in the early 1980s, NASA has recently released new images of the mysterious hexagon-shaped storm on Saturn's northern pole. Taken with their Cassini Spacecraft, images like this were not originally possible when Cassini arrived at Saturn back in 2004 due to the entire northern hemisphere being in winter solstice and away from direct sunlight. Since seasons on Saturn last about 7 years each, it's believed that we'll witness increasingly cancerous storm activity as the northern pole heats up and the planet moves closer into its summer.

Skrillex en el Johnson Space Center de la NASA en Houston, Texas. El día de ayer, el DJ y productor Skrillex tuvo la oportunidad de visitar el Johnson Space Center de la NASA en Houston, Texas. Es claro que su música puede llegar a sonar similar a una máquina extraterrestre, así que tiene completo sentido que Sonny Moore se vincule con tecnologías y experiencias fuera de la Tierra. En esta visita, Skrillex pudo comer comida para astronautas, caminar virtualmente en el espacio exterior, conducir [...]

Situated in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, at 2,635m above sea level exists the Paranal Observatory. Operated by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the site contains mankind’s most advanced optical instrument, the Very Large Telescope (VLT), as well as a number of other state-of-the-art auxiliary and survey telescopes - most notably the VLT Survey Telescope and VISTA . The VLT itself is comprised of four unit telescopes, which in 2011 gained the ability to work together to create the VLT Interferometer; an instrument that allows astronomers to see details up to 25 times [...]

A very infantile-minded individual got hold of the controls of NASA's Opportunity Mars rover and doodled a giant penis onto the surface of Mars, which, btw, ended up posted on NASA's website. I can't really blame the NASA team who did this, I mean, who wouldn't want to draw a penis on Mars? Whomever posted this to Reddit put it best: "Mars Rover = $800m, Team to Operate = $1b. Drawing a penis on the surface of another planet = Priceless."

Dieser Ausschnitt aus einer Newsreel von 1963 gehört zum ersten Filmmaterial aus dem Weltraum überhaupt. Der Clip zeigt die Trennung der ersten Stufe einer Titan II -Trägerrakete. Deutlich ist die Erdkrümmung zu erkennen, spektakulär wie sich die erste Stufe zerlegt. Früher Weltraumschrott.

Fun fact: most of the early space suits were manufactured by ILC Dover , also known as Playtex, the same company that made women's undergarments.

The individual fiddle and pipe go skipping and the cushion of strings rolls massively after them like a willing St Bernard. Both parties in this partnership respect one another's roles -- L�nasa the folk band representing the value of of small piercing personalities, the RT� (Raidi� Teilif�s �ireann, Irish Radio and Television) Concert Orchestra representing the value of smooth mass group sound. The individual fiddle and pipe go skipping near the end of "Morning Nightcap" and the cushion of strings rolls massively after them like a willing St Bernard. Nobody fights, nobody challenges, there is not...

Filed under: Video , Exclusive N.A.S.A. In a classic case of opposites attract, steam-powered songwriter Tom Waits and space-traveling rapper Kool Keith joined each other on N.A.S.A. 's 2009 track "Spacious Thoughts." Now, several years later, the making of N.A.S.A.'s ambitious debut album The Spirit of Apollo is being released into the cosmic ether through a new documentary.

1979 besuchte Dame Shirley Bassey , Goldfinger, ihr wisst schon, das Kennedy Space Center der NASA. Dort traf sie auch Moonwalker Pete Conrad , der sich ganz charmant mit der Britin unterhält. Und natürlich darf die Fragen aller Fragen an einen Astronauten nicht fehlen. Eingerahmt wird das Geplauder von Bassey's Interpretationen von "Small World", bei dem sie im Astronautenanzug in einem Modell der Apollo-Raumfähre rumturnt und dem Song "Stargazer". Während beider Songs sind ganz eindrucksvolle Bilder der Apollo-Mondlandemissionen zu sehen, die in der Kombination mit dem Shirley Bassey-typischen Sound eine ganz besondere Wirkung erzeugen. [...]
