  Orion: The Journey Begins

  Even as the space shuttle program has come to a close, NASA has been building and testing its next human spacecraft, the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (aka MPCV), around the country. Orion is being designed and tested to go further than we've ever gone and do things the shuttle could never do, namely explore deep space. In "Orion: The Journey Begins" take a look at the progress and development of NASA's newest vehicle, which will be the most advanced human spacecraft ever built. We can do amazing things!

  What Kind of World Do You Want?

  Our journey has only just begun. WATCH this and know that we are blessed to be here. Let us do all we can to make this world a better place. When you watch this you see what the world is really capable of. You see men and women of different races, different religions, different nationalities and different ages all working together. I want a world where the dreams of our children are endless! By grace we can make it so ;) Although STS-135 is the final space shuttle mission, the International Space Station will continue an uninterrupted human presence in space. This music video featuring the space station and its crews is set to the song "World" by recording artists Five for Fighting.

  Apollo 11: The True Story of the Lunar Landing

  7/20/1969 NASA's Neil Armstrong becomes the first human to set foot on the lunar surface, realizing humanity's age-old dream. And effectively winning the space race for the United States of America. Armstrong and fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin left the Apollo 11 command module (piloted by Michael Collins) in orbit and performed a landing in the lunar module Eagle. At 4:18 p.m. EDT, Armstrong announced to a watching and waiting world that "The Eagle has landed." Six-and-a-half hours later, he stepped onto the powdery surface with the words, "That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Aldrin soon followed Armstrong down the ladder to become the second man to stand on the moon. The mission was by no means a slam dunk. There was real fear that once on the lunar surface the astronauts might end up marooned and beyond rescue. In fact, President Nixon had a condolence speech ready to go in the event things turned out badly. Things went as planned, however, and Armstrong and Aldrin returned to the command module after leaving behind a plaque inscribed with the words: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind." Five more Apollo missions carried astronauts to the moon before the program ended in 1972. (There were to have been six, but Apollo 13's mission ended in near disaster.) The last man to leave his footprint on the moon was Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan, on Dec. 14, 1972. This month NASA announced what type of rocket and crew vehicle will be making the next Moon landings ad explorations of deep space. The journey continues.

  Can I Be Your Friend?

  Facebook Behavior Makes You Look Insane and Creepy in the Real World. Funny! In Facebook land, it's totally normal to like things strangers said, become friends with people you don't know, and share intimate photos with people who don't care. One chap tested it out, and became a lunatic. The film asks us, "Ever thought how odd your online life is?" When you transpose is to the offline life, you realize it's really, really odd. Just try following someone without using Twitter. Facebook should be a place where people who are already friends keep in touch. It's kinda creepy because the information you are comfortable sharing with your old classmates and friends are not really suitable for people you barely know. Having said that, I do have friends who put all their personal information on Facebook and add all sorts of acquaintances that they don't really know at all. Share your thoughts... or keep them to your self :)
