What happens when rocket scientists take on the coffee machine? The answer is a $11,111 coffee maker which brews java at the "perfect" temperature.

Photos of the Earth taken from space are nothing new, but you’ve never seen the planet like this before, guaranteed. Dubbed “Blue Marble,” this NASA photo is a staggering 64-megapixels with an 8000 x 8000 resolution.

OK so of course we are all going to die one day......Thanks goodness.  Could you imagine doing the same crap over and over again FOREVER?  Not me. Anyways, onto the impending life altering moment of death.  It could happen via a space satellite...

NASA’s space shuttle Endeavour punched through a veil of clouds this morning, making its 25th and final ascent into space after technicians quickly repaired damage to its heat shield. Endeavour was first launched 19 years ago this May. In early July, space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to make its final flight, closing out NASA’s space shuttle program.

We’ve made contact with Mercury, the planet closest to the sun. This photograph—which was taken yesterday, March 29, 2011 at 5:20am EDT—shows the surface of the innermost planet of the Solar System with unprecedented detail. It was taken by NASA’s Messenger, the first human-made spaceship to orbit this tiny, battered, and scorched rock...

On September 17, 1976, the first space shuttle rolled out of the Palmdale, California factory. It was the Enterprise, which was used for testing but never flew to space. The other Enterprise crew attended the unveiling of the mighty spacecraft.

It’s an amazing sight — and something you’ll never see it on this planet. A 90-minute storm on the surface of the Sun was captured on video by NASA last week. The video of the massive “solar tendril” was taken by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, a small satellite orbiting the Sun to gather data on how weather there affects the weather on Earth...

NASA unveiled more proof that we may not be alone. A new planetary system, Kepler-11, has been discovered with rocky planets much like our own solar system. This system, approximately 2,000 light years from Earth, was discovered using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope and is re-writing the rules of astrophysics.

A helmeted robot lands a flying saucer in a park in Washington, D.C. Dinosaurs freely roam a small isle off of Costa Rica. The Mayan calendar accurately predicts the fiery end of the world. Are the plots of sci-fi movies really that far-fetched? Of course they are. But NASA, whose space engineers are apparently also sci-fi movie buffs, has compiled a list of the most — and least — realistic scienc

NASA has scheduled a press conference for Thursday to announce a major Astrobiology discovery. Could this be the announcement of Extraterrestrial life?
