Some people claim to have a great view from their bedroom window or work desk. Their claims are worth nothing compared to the view the astronauts in the ISS get.

Rejoice fellow space and brick nutters, because Lego is going to release an official Mars Curiosity set! The original model was designed by Stephen Pakbaz, an actual NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's mechanical engineer who worked in the mission. Pakbaz entered his creation in Lego Cuusoo, a web site that allows fans…

This expanse of metal might not look much, but it's actually the NASA test facility that allows engine manufacturers to simulate flying through the upper atmosphere—and ensure engines don't fail when things get too cold.

Photographers often go to exotic locations for unbelievable situations to see never before seen areas of the world to get that one perfect shot. It's a constant search of trying to outdo yourself to capture something new. But sorry, you can go to the ends of the world and not outdo NASA Astronaut Chris Cassidy. This…

Here's a space-age idea if you've ever heard one: NASA is building a galactic GPS system that will provide astronauts a better, more accurate map through our solar system. This is obviously an ambitious undertaking, one that will take generations, not years, to complete.

Antarctica is frigid, self-consciously cloaked in a sheet of ice that's miles thick. But underneath, there's a wonderland of bedrock human eyes have never laid eyes on, and this is what it looks like.

To be honest, this image looks a helluva lot more like an eyeball or a marble than the glowing fiery orange orb floating in our sky that we call the Sun. But nope, it's our Sun all right. It looks off because the image was captured through three of NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory's extreme ultraviolet filters. But…

There's science, and there's magic. And incredibly, this is the the first one. Behold the thermal tiles NASA used to protect shuttles from totally disintegrating on their way back to Earth. Awesome.

One of the things that always shocks me when I go to the Kennedy Space Center is the tiny size of the Mercury (left) and Gemini (right) capsules—the missions that jumpstarted the American space exploration program. This unique photo clearly shows how ridiculous these tin cans are.

With its hovering videophone, modern dictation machine and space pod design, this 1961 executive desk of tomorrow would fit in better on the ISS than at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
