Getting people into space takes the right tech, the right talent, and the right policies.

The 2023 round of The Planetary Society’s Science and Technology Empowered by the Public (STEP) Grants awarded $50,000 USD to a team led by Dr. Andrew Palmer of the Florida Institute of Technology to study deep-space agriculture to address the challenge of feeding astronauts on long-duration missions.

The next step in NASA’s plan to bring humankind back to the Moon.

The physiological challenges of a mission to the red planet

Why space science has goals and human exploration has funding but neither has both

How the technology of Artemis II builds on the past and relies on the new.

This week in space: an amazing view, a dangerous new rule, an enormous explosion, and more.

The White House Office of Management and Budget has proposed new rules that would require political appointees, not scientists, to decide which research receives federal grants in the United States.

New asteroid discoveries, big changes at NASA, and breathtaking views of Saturn.

Saturn’s rings are one of the most beautiful sights in the Solar System, but most of us have no idea what they look like up close.

Speeding up, slowing down, capturing amazing views, making discoveries — all thanks to planets.

An update in the search for alien life beyond the Solar System.

A model Mars capsule flew through the air. Alien ships likely didn’t.

The bill keeps NASA funding flat with the currently enacted budget, but reprioritizes funding levels across the agency, including a 17% cut to Science to offset increases elsewhere.

How things in space get their names, progress and awards for Saving NASA Science, and the human side of Artemis II.

With so many worlds to explore and so much to learn about our own, funding NASA is absolutely essential.

How much did Artemis II resonate with people — or glance off them?

The scientists behind threatened missions speak out.

The 2026 Day of Action brought more than 130 space advocates from 34 states and the District of Columbia to the nation’s capital to advocate for space.
