One of the things I've come to realise is that I will not be an astronaut, I will not walk on the Moon and I will not walk on Mars. I'm too old and to be brutally honest to myself I would cost to much to launch! I was ind of born a few generations … Continue reading Take part in the next Mars mission by adding your name!
A camera on the Insight's robotic arm snapped the photos on April 24 and 25, the 145th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

I liked this view of Mars, because it's one you don't get to see very often. I posted this the other week, but since then I've played with the images and joined them together for one seamless shot! I'm quite pleased... Taken from NASA's Tumblr Page Simon 🙂
The new space race is here. Just as in the 1960's where Russia and America raced to get a man standing on the Moon Mars is now in the sights of two competing tribes. This time though it's not countries but companies that are fighting it out. Boeing has boldly claimed that the mega rocket … Continue reading Boeing and Space X’s epic space race to Mars
The sharp eye of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the tiny moon Phobos during its orbital trek around Mars. Because the moon is so small, it appears star-like in the Hubble pictures. Over the course of 22 minutes, Hubble took 13 separate exposures, allowing astronomers to create a time-lapse video showing the diminutive moon's … Continue reading Phobos Photobombs Hubble Mars Shots
