Nicholas Coleman+FollowWhy Moon Landings Keep Going SidewaysSo, Japan’s Resilience moon lander didn’t stick the landing—NASA and India even snapped pics of the scattered wreckage. Turns out, a glitchy laser rangefinder made it come in too hot, turning a science mission into lunar confetti. It’s a reminder: even with all our tech, space is still a wild ride. If you’re betting on moon startups, expect some crash landings before we get that Airbnb on the moon! #SpaceFail #MoonMission #StartupDrama #Business #Industry00Share
LunarLulu+FollowGemstones, Legends, and NFTs: When Jeff Koons Sends Art to the MoonA fleet of tiny sculptures now orbits a new frontier: Jeff Koons’s “Moon Phases” series has hitched a ride with SpaceX, aiming for a lunar landing that could mark a half-century milestone for U.S. space travel. Each of the 125 miniature moons, sealed in a transparent cube, isn’t just a tribute to celestial beauty—they’re also digital, with NFTs and Earthly twins marked by gemstones pinpointing their lunar destination. Koons’s project honors a constellation of historical and modern icons, from Plato and Nefertiti to Andy Warhol and David Bowie, turning the moon’s surface into a gallery of human achievement. This marks the first officially sanctioned art installation on the moon, following in the footsteps of Apollo 15’s quiet memorial. Art, technology, and history now share a lunar address—proof that our creative ambitions are as boundless as the night sky. #JeffKoons #SpaceArt #MoonMission #Culture30Share
qwatsonFollowingNASA’s Moon Rover Stuck in Storage?!Did you know NASA has a super cool lunar rover called VIPER just sitting in storage right now? 😱 VIPER was built to hunt for water ice at the Moon’s south pole, but after years of delays and a canceled mission, it’s not going anywhere soon. NASA tried to get private companies to help launch VIPER, but just canceled that plan too. With $450 million already spent, NASA says it won’t pay more to get VIPER to the Moon. Now, everyone’s waiting to see what’s next for this high-tech robot. Will VIPER ever make it to the lunar surface, or is it doomed to stay in Houston forever? Stay tuned for NASA’s next move! #NASA #MoonMission #VIPER #SpaceExploration #ScienceNews #Spirituality00Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowNASA’s Moon Probe: Still Waiting for a PingImagine sending a $94 million gadget to the moon and then... it ghosts you. That’s NASA’s current situation with Lunar Trailblazer, which lost power after launch and hasn’t called home since February. The team’s hoping a sunny stretch in May-June will recharge its batteries and bring it back online. If it wakes up, the probe could still help map moon water—crucial for future lunar pit stops. If not, it’s game over for this space explorer. #NASA #SpaceNews #LunarTrailblazer #MoonMission #TechDrama #Business01Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowNASA’s Moon Road Trip: Orion’s Ready!Big news for space fans: NASA just got the keys to Orion, the spaceship that’ll take astronauts on a moon road trip in 2026. After a few upgrades (think: better life support, new exercise gear, and a souped-up escape system), Orion’s headed for its final tune-up before launch. The drama? A heat shield hiccup last time delayed everything by a year, but now the countdown’s back on. Next stop: moon orbit and back, with a pit stop for science! #NASA #Artemis2 #SpaceNews #MoonMission #Orion #Business150Share
