What job is best for a young man who's been a tennis ace, a cross-country traveler, a chemistry nerd and an NFL draftee? How about ... astronaut? Leland Melvin tells the story of the challenges he's accepted and the opportunities he's...

In the first mission of its kind, Deep Impact’s goal was to teach us about the interior of comets...by blowing a hole in the side of one!

Dr. Steve Running discusses his work at NASA using satellites to keep tabs on Earth’s ecological systems. Jessi from Animal Wonders drops by to introduce Hank and Steve to Bindi the Bearded Dragon.

The new year is off to a great start for space exploration! New Horizons has passed the farthest object ever visited by a spacecraft, and China put a lander on the dark side of the Moon!

We finally have some results from the InSight lander’s measurements on Mars, and the Japanese Space Agency is moving forward with a probe that will explore Mars’s moons.

2020 is going to be an exciting year for space exploration, if everything goes according to plan. Humans are heading to space in new spacecraft, multiple Mars missions are on the horizon, and scientists are getting a new perspective on...

Hank briefs us on the current status of the Mars Science Laboratory, and gives us a taste of what we can hope to see coming from it in the next few months, and during the rest of its two year mission.

The ESA Hipparcos team worked for 20 years on the project, then had to watch as the mission ALMOST failed! But somehow, they turned it around, and today, this little-known mission has totally transformed what we know about space.

The Ulysses mission revolutionized our understanding of the sun, but it's been the only orbiter to take this kind of out-of-ecliptic journey. Will an upcoming mission give us even more?

Some space missions get a lot of attention, but not all the biggest space exploration stories get the recognition they deserve. This is the story of a robotic craft that captured the first-ever glimpse of a comet’s icy core!

Bill Stone, a maverick cave explorer who has plumbed Earth's deepest abysses, discusses his efforts to mine lunar ice for space fuel and to build an autonomous robot for studying Jupiter's moon Europa.

The Dawn spacecraft has been exploring the two largest objects in the asteroid belt since 2007, and here's what we've learned so far!

In October, the first mission of the ExoMars program arrived at the Red Planet, and things didn't go exactly as planned. As NASA investigates the crash, the mystery unfolds.

This week, researchers are getting ready to learn about earth and Mars, in places that you might not expect.

Schiaparelli crashing into Mars wasn't exactly what the Exomars mission scientists were hoping for, but we're still going to get some useful information from the little probe's descent. And scientists have observed two of the brightest...

NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has been teaching us about the moon for a decade now, and it's still going! What we’re learning from it will make space exploration and future moon missions much easier for future astronauts.

For more than 40 years, the Voyager probes have traveled through space sending back all kinds of fascinating data. But these probes were never meant to send us data forever - so how much longer will these amazing probes last?

It's 1990. A prospective student has filed a complaint about Virginia Military institute's admissions policy that excludes women. The state argues that VMI's single sex education is an "important governmental objective" and that the...

We bring you a few upcoming missions that will be testing technology for future asteroid prospecting, trying to find more exoplanets, and continuing China's quest for a crewed moon mission.

Earlier this year, scientists pitched a mission to bring 'the cloud' to Mars. While this proposal may seem expensive and risky, it's a legitimate idea that could fundamentally change how we plan space missions!
