"At some point in the history of the world", editorialized The Washington Post in 1968, "someone may have read the first ten verses of the Book of Genesis under conditions that gave them greater meaning than they had on Christmas Eve. But it seems unlikely ... This Christmas will always be remembered as the lunar one."
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - NASA awarded contracts today to Orbital Sciences Corporation and Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) for resupply services to the International Space Station after the space shuttle is retired. The Cargo Resupply Services contracts, valued at $1.9 billion and $1.6 billion for Orbital and SpaceX, respectively, call for 20 unmanned cargo supply missions to the space station between 2010 and 2016.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - With afternoon sunlight glinting off its windows and white upper body, space shuttle Endeavour returned to Florida today, completing a 2.000 mile cross-country journey from California where it landed almost two weeks ago following the successful STS-126 mission to the International Space Station. The shuttle, riding the back of a Boeing 747, provided quite the spectacle for thousands of Space Coast residents as the duo flew over the Atlantic Ocean beaches before turning to Kennedy Space Center for landing.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - Space shuttle Endeavour finally began the cross-country trip from California to Kennedy Space Center after a three-day delay due to bad weather and diffiulties encountered while mating the orbiter to its modified 747 carrier aircraft. Endeavour is expected to arrive in Florida Thursday or Friday afternoon, depending on the weather conditions.
WASHINGTON, DC - NASA's Mars Science Laboratory will launch two years later than previously planned, in the fall of 2011. The mission will send a next-generation rover with unprecedented research tools to study the early environmental history of Mars.
Diverted by bad weather in Florida, the space shuttle Endeavour made a picture-perfect landing at NASA's backup landing site at Edwards A.F.B. in California this afternoon. Today's landing put the final touch on a sixteen day mission to repair a balky solar array joint and outfit the International Space Station with equipment that will enable the massive complex to host larger resident crews next year. Endeavour was diverted to Edwards after mission control passed up the first two landing opportunities at Kennedy Space Center because of high winds and storms in the area.
WASHINGTON, DC - Flames shot more than 100 feet high in a successful
5.5-second ground test firing Thursday, Nov. 20, of a launch abort
motor for NASA's next generation spacecraft, the Orion crew
exploration vehicle. NASA and the Orion industry team conducted the
firing at the Alliant Techsystems, or ATK, facility in Promontory,
Utah.

JOHNSON SPACE CENTER, FL - With commander Chris Ferguson at the controls, the space shuttle Endeavour docked with the International Space Station today as the two vehicles flew 212 miles high over India, beginning eleven days of joint operations that will feature installation of new equipment aboard the station and four spacewalks to clean and repair a faulty solar array joint.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL - Riding atop a foot-foot tongue of flame that lit up the skies for miles around, space shuttle Endeavour blasted into space today on a two-week mission to the International Space Station. Tucked away inside its payload bay are seven tons of hardware that will allow the orbiting complex to begin hosting larger resident crews beginning in the middle of next year.
