The moon gets 622 mbps (megabits per second) and I'm only getting 30 mbps. Astronauts should have no problem streaming netflix now. On a serious note, this is pretty damn impressive. If they can implement this speed in both directions on new space craft, we could potentially get streaming feeds of jupiter, mars, etc. in super HD quality. Sources: NASA & Dvice

http://www.space.com/11198-nasa-orion-space-capsule-testing.html Heres a link to lockheedmartin's site which has some more info: http://www.lockheedmartin.com/products/Orion/ and here is a link to some prototype mars space suits: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2011-03/nasas-prototype-mars-space-suit-gets-frosty-antarctic-performance-test If the future of the US space program is the orion.. and the orion appears to be the next gen apollo. So, maybe if NASA had never gone with the shuttle approach and just updating the old apollo designs, we'd probably have super orion ships by now.

The first link talks about crashing the probe crashing into the moon to see if they can find water molecules and get new data about the surface material of the moon. The second link shows how many people were disappointed in the non-visual results of the impact because scientists were thinking there would be an impact crater and a dust plume up to six miles long projecting out from the moon.. but that didn't happen. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/091009-lcross-impact-wrap.html http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/091009-lcross-impact-reaction.html And if you go to NASA's website you can see the video of it happening. http://www.nasa.gov/ Wow, I'm glad I wasn't really looking forward to seeing it happen live. Even the video clip is nothing like what I'd have expected to see. I was thinking it would have been a fluid video, but instead it seemed to look like something made on photoshop.

http://dvice.com/archives/2009/09/nasas-return-to.php I wonder which country will put a base on the moon first.

Check out this article: http://www.space.com/spacewatch/090619-how-to-find-satellites.html Apparently, you can see the International Space Station with your naked eyes. No need for a telescope. Just look up and there it is. This link has a script that can help find out when you can see the space station. I'm going to try to remember looking for it on the fourth of July around 12:40 in the morning. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/JavaSSOP.html

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/features/article5529668.ece Click the link to view the rest of the article (it has 2 pages). Think about it, one gram of this stuff can stretch out to 18 miles. Thats huge. Maybe someday they'll make some space elevators like in Gundam 00.
