Mourning the passing of Jim Lovell, a true icon of human exploration. His calm leadership during Apollo 13 turned crisis into triumph and inspired generations to dream bigger, reach farther, and never give up. Farewell to a pioneer whose courage helped humanity touch the stars.
We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today.

Incredible discovery from @NASAWebb—evidence for a planet orbiting our closest solar twin! 🚀🔭 This could bring us one step closer to interstellar dreams like the #BIS Project Icarus. If you’re fascinated by the science of reaching Alpha Centauri, don’t miss Navigation to the.
We give this system 3 stars! ⭐⭐⭐. Webb revealed strong evidence of a giant gas planet orbiting one of the three stars (as shown in this artist illustration) in the Alpha Centauri system, located four light years away.

🌙 We, as the first organisation to design a complete spacecraft for lunar missions even before the dawn of the space age, closely monitor today’s efforts to land on the #Moon using advanced technologies. The recent contract awarded to @Firefly_Space comes at a turbulent time.
We’re over the Moon to share another #BlueGhost win. Firefly was awarded another @NASA CLPS contract for a 4th mission to the Moon! We’re taking our landing experience to the South Pole with 2 rovers and 3 instruments to evaluate the Moon’s resources.
