In partnership with artist Tom Sachs, Nike will be releasing a collection of clothing, bags and shoes, dubbed "NikeCraft," which utilises materials usually used by NASA—materials never before used in sportswear. Read More >

"i quite like the shoes, kinda vintage look but agreed the tick is a bit to bold, also the tread pattern on these really should be the same as the boot..." More »
You might think the trippy animated visualizations in your media player are the best way to see your music. But astronaut Don Pettit has found a better way—and all it requires is a small set of speakers, a blob of water, and a space station 250 miles above the Earth. Read More >
Remember that thing that looked a lot like a Klingon Bird of Prey from last month? Well it seems it's back again, or at least something that looks a heck of a lot like it is. And to make matters worse, NASA's cut the feed for "maintenance" so unfortunately you can't see it live for yourself. Convenient co-incidence or blatant cover-up? Read More >
Sure, space-based X-Ray telescopes have been in service since the Einstein Observatory launched back way back in 1978. But the NuSTAR Project is different: It promises to illuminate the heavens above as never before. Read More >
You are looking at the largest piece of tin foil in the planet, one of the James Webb Space Telescope's sunshield membranes. There will be five of these membranes, which will keep its core at 50 Kelvin (-369.67F or -223.15C). Read More >
SpaceX has once again been forced to delay the launch of its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft. The latest launch date was scheduled for Monday, May 7 from Cape Canaveral in Florida and a new date hasn't been set. Issues with the software responsible for controlling the automated spacecraft have caused several of the past issues and are assumed to be responsible for these latest delays. Read More >
What you’re looking at here is an illustration showing just how many planets there really are in our humble little bit of the universe, the Milky Way. While we think our 3rd rock from the Sun is unique, actually there are billions of planets, with a minimum of 1,500 of the things within just 50 light-years of Earth alone – one of them must be ET’s home.

What you’re looking at there is NASA’s brand new, cutting-edge, Moffett Field facility in California – it’s NASA’s way of testing-out the tech it needs to build a moonbase, but on planet Earth. Read More >
The Space Shuttle Discovery hitched a ride yesterday on NASA's 747 to the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. It's yet another period at the end of the melancholy final paragraph of the Space Shuttle program. So long, Discovery. And thank you for the memories. Read More >
As we've said before, its not the falling that kills rovers, its the sudden stop at the end. NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab explains how to successfully put a robot on the Red Planet. Read More >
Well here’s a turn up for the books. We apparently found life on Mars back in 1976 with NASA’s Viking mission, but it was rejected because three experiments didn’t match up. Now new data analysis has concluded that, actually, we did in fact find life on Mars, and there’s a scientific paper to prove it. Read More >

I wish NASA took more photos of the shuttle from other aircraft. There are many that I'd like — like Atlantis launching next to an F-15 — but this one is the best. Too bad it's not a real image but a montage. [E-y-e-l-e-s-s] Read More >
A new video of astronauts attempting to work out what the hell three floating “orbs” are out the window of the Space Shuttle Atlantis has emerged. It was filmed on the Shuttle’s final mission in space. NASA ground control thinks it’s just lens reflections of space junk and it could be right, but the astronauts don’t seem so convinced.
