💡”Edison never saw his deafness as a disability. In a 1925 interview he declared it to be ‘not a handicap, but a help to me’ as it meant that he didn’t need to bother with ‘small talk’ and ‘all the meaningless sounds that normal people hear.’”

NASA is seeking U.S. proposals for a public/private partnership to land and operate the VIPER rover mission on the Moon. VIPER will search for ice on the lunar surface and collect science data as a part of our Artemis campaign. go.nasa.gov/4aMkLZ5

Moving forward with a VIPER partnership offers NASA a unique opportunity to engage with the private sector. This provides us the opportunity for NASA to collect VIPER science that could tell us more about water on the Moon, while advancing commercial lunar landing capabilities

With a suite of NASA science and technology on board, Firefly Aerospace is targeting no earlier than 3:34 a.m. EST on Sunday, March 2, to land the Blue Ghost lunar lander on the Moon. Live coverage will air on NASA+ around 75 minutes before touchdown >> go.nasa.gov/3F10naM

Watch Firefly land on the Moon! After identifying surface hazards and selecting a safe landing site, #BlueGhost landed directly over the target in Mare Crisium. A historic moment on March 2 we'll never forget. We have Moon dust on our boots! #BGM1

Our lunar delivery initiative is high risk–with the potential for high reward. Shortly after landing in a crater near the lunar South Pole, Intuitive Machines’ Athena lander collected data and called an early end of mission at 1:15am ET (0615 UTC) March 7. go.nasa.gov/4bxhiOh

Blue Ghost turns red! Our lander downlinked more imagery from the Moon captured around 2:30 am CDT during the totality of the solar eclipse last night. These images - rapidly captured by our top deck camera with different exposure settings - were stitched together in a quick

Very metascientific from POTUS: "We need new paradigms for the research enterprise, including innovative models for funding scientific research. We must build an ecosystem that attracts top talent and enables scientists to focus on meaningful work rather than box checking."

Following an evaluation of partnership proposals for VIPER, NASA has decided to explore alternative approaches to deliver its water-seeking robot to the lunar surface. We appreciate the efforts of those who submitted proposals and look forward to accomplishing volatile science
