“You know, whatever it is that you want to go do, give it a shot. You know, why not you? Somebody’s got to do it. Why not you?” Nils Larson, lead research pilot at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, talks about lessons learned – from life and from flying the X-59, NASA’s experimental quiet supersonic plane. https://lnkd.in/etZCxMzi

About us
For more than 60 years, NASA has been breaking barriers to achieve the seemingly impossible—from walking on the Moon to pushing the boundaries of human spaceflight farther than ever before. We work in space and around the world in laboratories and wind tunnels, on airfields and in control rooms to explore some of life’s fundamental mysteries: What’s out there in space? How do we get there? And what can we learn that will make life better here on Earth? We are passionate professionals united by a common purpose: to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research. Today, we continue NASA’s legacy of excellence and innovation through an unprecedented array of missions. We are developing the most advanced rockets and spacecraft ever designed, studying the Earth for answers to critical challenges facing our planet, improving the air transportation experience, and so much more. Join us as we reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humanity.

Every January, we commemorate the people lost in our agency’s space exploration program. On our Day of Remembrance, we celebrate their lives, their bravery, and advancements in human spaceflight. https://www.nasa.gov/DoR/

While launch opportunities for our Artemis II mission around the Moon open Feb. 6, a decision will not be made on the first date to attempt launch until system checks are complete. As our teams evaluate the rocket, spacecraft, ground systems, and crew, we will gain the information necessary to formalize a date in the available windows February through April. Launch opportunities also depend on orbital mechanics; the Moon needs to be in just the right position for the planned trajectory of our mission.

NASA is planning on rolling out the Artemis II rocket and spacecraft from the Vehicle Assembly Building to Launch Pad 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center no earlier than Jan. 17. The four-mile journey will take up to 12 hours. At the end of January, NASA will conduct a prelaunch test to fuel the rocket, also known as a wet dress rehearsal. Following a successful wet dress rehearsal, the mission management team will assess the readiness of all systems before committing to a launch date of the Artemis II mission around the Moon. https://lnkd.in/eMUhKgrv

Ever wonder what happens in the aftermath of a supernova? In this video, you’re watching the glowing remnants of a stellar explosion 17,000 light-years from Earth disperse over a period of 25 years, making this Chandra X-ray Observatory’s longest-spanning video ever released. https://lnkd.in/ey7sHrAb
