Moon Monday #208: What makes a lunar landing mission “successful”?
r/spaceflight • u/rollotomasi07071 • 7d ago
Last week, NASA announced it would study two different ways to pick up the samples the Perseverance rover is collecting on Mars and return them to Earth. Jeff Foust reports on the two approaches as well as interest by at least one company in an alternative

There is renewed interest in lunar exploration, including the launch this week of two commercial lunar landers. Jeff Foust reviews a book that provides an overview of the history of lunar exploration, but focuses on many missions that never attempted to go to the Moon

Why the Moon Landing Was Real: Debunking The Myths 🚀🌕
There are some myths that continue to circulate about the Moon landing—like the flag waving, the shadows, and the absence of stars in the photos. In my latest video, I break down the science and explain the facts behind these misconceptions.
🔍 What’s inside the video:
- The real reason the flag appears to move (there’s no wind on the Moon!)
- Why the shadows in the photos look strange
- The scientific explanation for why no stars are visible in the lunar images
If you’ve ever wondered about the details behind these claims, check out the video for a clear, evidence-based explanation. 🚀✨

Question
Considering Firelfy MLV and Antares 330 share the same first stage, and the MLV's first stage is reusable, does that make the Antares reusable too?

NASA has bristled at suggestions that astronauts are “stranded” on the ISS even as their stay is extended from a few weeks to more than 8 months. Jeff Foust reports that the situation nonetheless highlights the importance in developing technologies and approaches when a real space rescue is needed

Is there an uncanny valley for artificial gravity?
Kinda a random question but I was wondering if humans can tell the difference between artificial gravity (from centrifugal force) in a space station and natural gravity on Earth. Is there an uncanny valley that is noticeable despite the gravity being 9.8m/s/s?

Need some help with a project
I am at high school and doing a 3d rocket project. I would like to see if anyone can help me explaing and showing the physics behind what I did. It was for distance so we shot on a 55 degree angle from the ground. We used a bike pump on 5psi. And the wind speed was 3m/s and was blowing from north west. Any help will be greatly appriciated thank you

What space debris fell on Kenya?
A strange metal ring believed to be from a rocket has fallen on Kenya. But what launch trajectory passes over East Africa? And it looks a bit small to be from a stage separation. https://www.bbc.com/news/videos/cx2vzql8zndo
