Pretty out of this world, right? 😉
Check out this JPL-led lunar railway system that could provide payload transport on the Moon!
Imagine a railway system… on the Moon! This and five other futuristic ideas will receive additional funding and development through our NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program – and could enable future space missions and

How much water is flowing in Earth's rivers? Enough to fill 900 million Olympic swimming pools.
A NASA-led study provides new estimates of how much water is in our rivers, the rate it's flowing into the ocean, and how much this is changing over time:

I've been sniffing traces of methane in Gale Crater for years, but why it's there and how it behaves has puzzled scientists. A new proposal suggests that the gas may be sealed under solidified salt deposits in the Martian regolith:

Water connects our planet Earth and Jupiter's moon Europa. It connects all life as we know it, and all cultures. Besides this poem, our spacecraft also carries representations of the word for "water" spoken in 100+ languages. Learn more & hear the words:
