Model of the 1962 Republic Apollo LEM proposal. Loving the type on this. The bottom two images are concepts by competing manufacturers. On July 25, 1962, NASA invited 11 firms to submit proposals for the LEM. Of the 11 invited, 9 submitted proposals. The firms that submitted proposals were Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, Ling-Temco-Vought, Grumman, Douglas, General Dynamics, Republic, and Martin Marietta. Grumman was the winner. This model is owned by the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island NY. Via Pcarsola Permalink [...]
Birth of a Star from Tom Lowe on Vimeo . "This movie presents a visualization of the star-forming region known as S106. This unique three-dimensional view illustrates and emphasizes that many of the objects contained within astronomical images are not at the same distance, but, in fact, spread across light-years of space. The Hubble image is augmented with additional field-of-view from the Subaru Infrared Telescope. The stars and the lobes of glowing gas from the Hubble/Subaru two-dimensional image have been separated and sculpted using both scientific knowledge and artistic license to create [...]

Meine geschätzte Kollgin Stephanie Schierholz ist Social Media Managerin bei der NASA. Gerade hat sie auf Slideshare eine Präsentation darüber veröffentlicht, wie die NASA ihre #NASATweetups organisiert. Das ist nicht nur für Raumfahrtkommunikatoren interessant, denn das Tweetup-Format dürfte sich auch hervorragend für andere Wissenschaftsorganisationen adaptieren lassen: How to host a tweetup: Lessons from #NASATweetup View more presentations from NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration Über das erste europäische #SpaceTweetup im September 2011 von ESA und [...]
Now that the space shuttle program is over, NASA recently launched something completely different. Third Rock Radio is an internet radio station "crafted specifically to speak the language of tech-savvy young adults," as NASA says in its news release. The station plays indie and alternative tunes mostly from new rock albums along with the occasional radio-friendly hit. The station is being developed and operated at no cost to the government through a Space Act Agreement. Third Rock can be reached from NASA's home page and will soon be available through NASA iPhone and Droid mobile applications. [...]

I've been watching this video a lot this week. It's a simple one camera deal, but has the added advantage of being attached to the International Space Station and pointed down at the Earth. Sped up to show various views of our planet as the ISS orbits us, we get to see the Northern Lights, lightning storms, and populations density all from above. As I say, it bears repeat viewings. Meanwhile, brilliant "ecstatic trance" duo Blondes have just released a video for their new track Wine . Using little more than [...]

So, you all know Futurecop! 's 'N.A.S.A.', right? It's been a Futurecop! ElectroPop classic for a couple of years. Well here's a brand new, old, version featuring and ElectroPop sheen from Codebreaker . The two acts collaborated on this tune some time ago but for one reason or another it never saw the light of day. Until now. Released as a single on Disco Demolition Records this version of 'N.A.S.A.' sees the familiar arpeggio and riff of the original layers with some equally Poppy vocals from Codebreaker. The absence of the vocals from the album is [...]

An original Graphics Standards Manual from 1976 when NASA transitioned to the "worm logo" ( more info ). Love the car graphics, was waiting for something on The Shuttle but then realized it was just a concept when this manual was written. Maybe it's just an American thing, but is this not the most iconic logo ever? Via Tim George
