NASA has plans for a giant leap in its method of space travel, beginning with a nuclear-powered mission to Mars that's projected to launch in 2028.

NASA recently shared a photo that details the vastly different landscapes its Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have spent years traversing on Mars.

Anil Menon, selected by NASA in 2021, will embark on his first space mission to the ISS on July 14 aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9. He will conduct scientific experiments and join by an international crew. The launch will stream live on NASA’s platforms.

SpaceX's four-member Crew-13 mission will carry astronauts to the International Space Station, where they'll live while carrying out research and technology demonstrations.

NASA's plan has three major components, which would eventually culminate in a constant human presence on the moon.

A House appropriations subcommittee advanced a spending bill April 30 that would keep overall NASA funding at 2026 levels, rejecting a 23% cut.

The proposed budget was released on April 3. Among many deep cuts to medical and scientific agencies, the White House has proposed to cut NASA’s budget by 23 percent compared to last year. The main focus is on massively reducing the science budget, cutting it by 46 percent, from $7.25 billion to $3.9 billion.

NASA has revealed a new Starship variant — but this isn’t about astronauts. These new lunar landers are designed to carry massive cargo loads to the Moon, completely automated and far heavier than before.
