Uhm. This is missing something.

OTD 1990 - Launch of Discovery STS-31R carrying the Hubble Space Telescope. We were there!

"Houston, this is the most spectacular view… you can possibly imagine." –Apollo 16 astronaut Charlie Duke As the Apollo 16 crew began their flight to the Moon on April 16, 1972, they captured this view of North America from their spacecraft. Beginning NASA's fifth lunar landing mission were astronauts John Young, commander; Ken Mattingly, command module pilot; and Charlie Duke, lunar module pilot.

Tyler Reddick’s burnout marks ended up right next to “Crash #45” that someone wrote on the track before the race.

If you're telling @TylerReddick to crash please remember that he'll fulfill your request and win anyway

At 93 years old, Gene Kranz — the legendary flight director who helped save Apollo 13 — has just watched astronauts return to the Moon. The experience, he says, made him feel young again. Kranz was one of the most pivotal figures of the Apollo program, serving as flight director for seven missions, including the historic Apollo 11 landing and the life-or-death drama of Apollo 13. More than five decades later, he witnessed the Artemis II mission send astronauts on a journey back toward the Moon. The moment clearly moved him deeply. Seeing the crisp new images of the lunar surface, Kranz said it “took me back,” reigniting the same excitement he felt as a 34-year-old during the original Moon landings. Now, at 93, watching a new generation of explorers head into space made it feel as though the story was beginning all over again. What makes his reaction so powerful is the extraordinary span of time it represents. Kranz was present at the dawn of America’s space age. He guided crews through the most dangerous and intense years of lunar exploration using the primitive technology of the 1960s and 1970s. Now, more than half a century later, he is watching humanity return with vastly superior spacecraft, stunning high-resolution imagery, and renewed ambition. He noted how impressive today’s visuals are, remarking that if the Apollo teams had access to such technology, they could have supported astronauts on the lunar surface far more effectively. Back then, they achieved miracles with limited tools. Today, the technology is finally catching up to the dream. Kranz also sees Artemis as proof that America is back on track — that the Moon is once again becoming the gateway to something greater: not just fleeting visits, but the foundation for a sustained human presence beyond Earth. For a man who helped write the first chapter of lunar exploration, witnessing the next chapter is far more than nostalgia. It is history coming full circle.

12 years ago a certain future NASCAR Cup Series champion would make his Cup debut at Kansas Speedway alongside Dale Earnhardt Jr.

Justin Upton That guy rocked.

Apollo was the convergence of American political will, technical capability, and men with the courage to face the unknowns of space. Every launch was a death-defying feat. But there was real science happening as well. Enough to justify training PhDs for the job. (part 3 of 3)

This footage is a treasure, now, knowing that the last of the Apollo men will be gone soon. Thirty years ago they were merely retired. In another few both they and their accomplishments will have passed entirely into legend. The people who gave America the moon. (part 2 of 3)

27 years ago PBS aired this retrospective on the Apollo program. I've recaptured it in three parts and am putting it here, so as to preserve the interviews with the astronauts and NASA staff especially. Many of whom are dead now. Hear them in their own words. (part 1 of 3)

Restored to 4k Archive Footage from May 2, 1980, of F-14 Tomcats and friends off the deck of the USS Nimitz as she participated in NATO exercise Open Gate near the coast of Portugal while heading home after a 270-day deployment. The nuclear-powered supercarrier had spent 144 straight days at sea in the Indian Ocean on Gonzo Station supporting operations during the Iran hostage crisis, including the failed Eagle Claw rescue attempt in April. She wrapped the exercise on May 9 then continued across the Atlantic, arriving in Norfolk on May 26 for a major homecoming.
