What was once only visible from a distance, we could now reach out and grasp…
Throughout history, humanity dreamed of Mars – but it was never within reach. That changed 50 years ago when NASA's Viking 1 lander touched down on the surface of the Red Planet on July 20, 1976.

NASA’s Viking 1 lander touched down on Mars 50 years ago today. 30 years later, our Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed the site from space. Today, NASA’s orbiters and rovers continue to uncover the story of the Red Planet and prepare the way for future exploration.

On July 20, 1976, NASA’s Viking 1 lander broke ground on 50 years of Mars surface exploration.
From the first landing, to rovers crossing the desert, to helicopter flights, we’ve been digging into the secrets of Mars ever since.

Th Artemis II mission success & crew brought a new sense of joy and unity everywhere. What a contrast to what is happening on Earth: wars & political division…A realtime split screen of inspirational uplifting of human achievement v. the daily slog when humans cannot get along!

I streamed the entire Artemis II mission. That was the most righteous thing I have EVER witnessed as a spaceflight fan. For anyone out there on X that worked on this mission your work was not unnoticed. It was a privilege to witness the fruits of your labor in all it's glory over the last ten days. Thank you. Seriously. Thank you.

HOME.
The Artemis II crew has arrived back on Earth, ending a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon. The trip took them farther into space than humans have ever gone before, and now they're safely home with us.

Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown.
