From Moon landings to the Space Shuttle, stamps have depicted the best that the U.S. space program has to offer.

The Ultimate Photobomb

I love this image. Two kids playing basketball while NASA’s space shuttle Endeavour peeks from a corner on the background. It’s like, “Sup boys? No interest in f*cking science or what?” According to the photographer Wally Skalij, the kids are Traymond Harris, left, and Ryan Hudge, right. They were playing as Endeavour played its own…

Every Time I Watch This I’m Sure the Space Shuttle Will Lose a Wing

Check out this animated GIF. It’s the toughest moment of the space shuttle Endeavour’s drive across Los Angeles, en route to its permanent retirement place, at the Science Center. I extracted these frames from LA Times’ Bryan Chan spectacular timelapse of NASA’s Space Shuttle Endeavour’s last journey. Last and crazy, as you will see. Not…

Is This the Most Stunning Shuttle Flyover Ever?

I don’t know if it’s the most stunning or not—NYC was pretty awesome—but Endeavour looks absolutely magnificent flying over Los Angeles en route to LAX. The sense of scale is absolutely fantastic. What a beautiful shot. Click to see the ultra-HD version. [APOD]

This concept art from the Shuttle Program’s early days is gorgeous, deliciously retro

Famed cinematographer and Gizmodo friend Vincent Laforet went to Los Angeles International Airport to capture the last flight of space shuttle Endeavour using a RED Epic camera at 5K resolution with Canon 800mm 5.6 lens in slow motion—-96 frames per second.

How NASA Mounts a Space Shuttle on an Airplane

The Space Shuttle Endeavour just completed its final flight around California today and if you were wondering how a freaking space shuttle ends up on top of a 747, well, watch the video above. It’s a mounting process that’s not unlike strapping a few bikes to your car’s roof (only a wee bit more complicated).…

Space Shuttle Endeavour lands for the very last time

It’s wheels down one last time for Endeavour. Following a cross country trip that began three days ago in Florida, the iconic Space shuttle (the last to ever take flight) has landed at Los Angeles International Airport atop NASA’s Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. As collectSPACE.com’s Robert Pearlman points out, the spacecraft’s final landing represents not only…

Space shuttle Endeavour’s journey to museum will require 400 trees to be cut down

Next month, the retired space shuttle Endeavour will be making a 12-mile journey to its final resting place at a Los Angeles museum. But to get there, local officials will have to make way for the 112-foot-long, 78-foot-wide, and 5-storey-tall behemoth. And in order to do so they’ll have to remove 400 trees, and hundreds…

Six Daleks are en route to NASA’s Stennis Space Center disguised as “space shuttle engines”

NASA says they’re “Pratt Whitney Rocketdyne engines” from space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis… but we think they look an awful lot like incognito Dalek shipping containers. The agency says the “engines” are being shipped from Florida’s Kennedy Space Center to Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, where they will be repurposed for use on NASA’s next…

Mars rover Opportunity is about to embark on a new mission, looking for signs of life

Things can be pretty slow-going on the red planet for NASA’s Mars rover Opportunity. Since January of 2004, the solar-powered Opportunity has been chugging along the planet’s surface at a leisurely pace of 60 centimeters an hour, but there’s exciting news on the horizon. Or rather, its horizon. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has reported that…

The Last Landing of the Space Shuttle Endeavour

After a total journey of 122 million miles and 25 perfect missions, Endeavour has landed in the dark. She was the youngest in the space shuttle fleet. This is how she arrived home: As Mark E.

The Super Awesome Superconducting Magnet Endeavour Left Behind

The largest, most expensive space-science experiment left Earth earlier this week with Endeavour. And inside AMS is a superconducting magnet—but not the more powerful one that was 12 years in the making. https://io9.gizmodo.com/preview/the-2-billion-dark-matter-hunting-alpha-magnetic-spect-5797064 Researchers at Scientific Magnetics donated over a decade of their time creating a really powerful magnet (creatively dubbed AMS-02 Superconducting Magnet) meant…

The 1.3 Million-Pound Rockets That Shot Endeavour Into Space

Endeavour was launched into space today for the last time ever. Prayers don’t shoot shuttles into space, though: Hurtling Endeavour and its crew 28 miles straight up were a pair of 1.3-million-pound reusable solid rockets. https://gizmodo.com/the-last-launch-of-endeavour-was-perfect-5802179 At its lightest, Space Shuttle Endeavour weighs 172,000 pounds with both of its rockets attached.

A Beautiful View of Endeavour Breaking the Sky

There’s never enough photos of shuttle launches or yummy astronaut breakfasts. But Trey Ratcliff’s shot of the shuttle thundering through Florida’s steel clouds is, by far, my favorite for today’s lift-off. https://gizmodo.com/the-last-launch-of-endeavour-was-perfect-5802179 It’s amazingly beautiful and strange. It almost looks like the smoke is coming from above. Or like a weird nuclear mushroom. [StuckInCustoms]

This Is the Delicious Breakfast That Shuttle Astronauts Had Today

Two grilled lobster tails, one baked potato, butter and sour cream. That’s what Mike Fincke—USAF Colonel and STS-134 Mission Specialist 1 in the space shuttle Endeavour—had for his “send off” breakfast today, just before the launch. One more reason to become an astronaut: You get to order whatever awesome breakfast you want on launch day.…
