Orion Advances Toward 2026 Moon Launch: Key Milestones
Orion Makes a Crucial Move Toward the 2026 Moon Mission NASA’s Orion spacecraft is on track for its ambitious 2026 lunar mission, taking a significant step forward with a seven-mile relocation from its current facility to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center. This marks the second-to-last move before Orion carries a crew…

Could Martian Ice Preserve Clues of Ancient Life in a Frozen Time Capsule
A Potential Time Capsule Beneath Mars’ Ice Planetary scientists may have found a natural time capsule on Mars. A new study from NASA and Penn State University argues that fragments of biomolecules from ancient microbes could survive long enough in Martian ice to be detectable by future missions. If correct, this means life’s signature —…

Orion Moves Toward Moon: Artemis II Prep for 2026 Launch
Orion Takes a Major Step Toward 2026 Moon Launch The Orion spacecraft, NASA’s crewed vehicle bound for the Moon, was moved seven miles to the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at Kennedy Space Center. This latest relocation marks the second-to-last move before Orion’s scheduled 2026 launch window for the Artemis II mission, the first crewed Artemis…

Could Martian Ice Be a Freeze-Dried Time Capsule for Life?
Introduction: A Potential Time Capsule on the Red Planet If life ever existed on Mars, traces of it might still lie buried in the planet’s icy depths. A new study from NASA and Pennsylvania State University suggests fragments of biomolecules from ancient microbes could survive in Martian ice for tens of millions of years, creating…

Mars Ice Time Capsules: Could Ancient Life Be Hidden in Frozen Molecules?
Intro: A Frozen Archive for Martian Life? Scientists are revisiting a compelling idea: if life ever existed on Mars, its chemical whispers might be preserved in the planet’s icy crust. A joint study by NASA and Penn State University suggests that fragments of ancient biomolecules—the amino acids that form proteins—could survive in Martian ice for…
