No, these are not the spacesuits from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, this is a new model of clothing for astronauts from the American space agency Nasa. The new spacesuit is named Boeing Starliner, after the spacecraft that astronauts will use for trips to space in the near future.

Photographer Benedict Redgrove got exclusive access to the premises of the American space agency Nasa, where he took stunning photos of their present and past 'railway'.
Want a replica of the golden gramophone record that explains humanity to aliens? In 1977, the American agency NASA had a big dream. They wanted to find the Aliens and make contact with them. With this purpose, the probes Voyager I and Voyager II were sent into space, which also carried a time capsule in the form of a golden gramophone record, which carries images of our civilization and teaches about humanity. Among other things, about how we reproduce, how we transport ourselves and what we eat. We greet the aliens in 55 languages (also in Serbo-Croatian, which was the official language of Yugoslavia at the time: "We wish you all the best from our planet"), and they can also play different genres of music and typical sounds of our planet. There are playback instructions on the back of the disc. On the 40th anniversary of the launch, you can for approx. For 90 euros, consider the jubilee replica of The Voyager Golden Record: 40th Anniversary Edition, which also comes with a book.
Mars as you have never known it! We have been led to believe that Mars is red. Last but not least, we also call it the red planet. But as you can see in the new NASA images (in total, the American space agency has published as many as 1035 never-before-seen photos from space), the latest and most stunning photos of the planet Mars tell a different story and show that we have been living in error all our lives! Mars is much more colorful than we thought! Mountains, rivers, fluffy clouds, lakes and a kingdom of colors... no, we are not talking about our Earth, we are still at Mars. Get to know him in a whole new light.
Just when we thought that the northern lights (aurora borealis) couldn't get any more exciting, NASA surprises us with a video of this natural phenomenon, which has published a video showing the characteristic reddish-greenish light that usually illuminates the sky of the North and South Poles , we admire from the air, and in 4K technology. Check out what the Northern Lights look like from space!
Nasa's QueSST Passenger Jet will be the second supersonic passenger jet after the Concorde, which was retired in 2003, or the third if we include the Soviet Tupolev Tu-144 (1977), which was in commercial use for only seven months, which is a drop in sea compared to Concord's twenty-seven years of service. Since 2003, jet passenger planes have not been flying in the air, that is, planes that fly faster than sound, but thanks to the American space agency NASA, we are one step closer to the return of these steel birds. Namely, they unveiled the design for Concorde's successor, the QueSST Passenger Jet, a silent supersonic passenger jet, the first of NASA's upcoming new series of X-planes.
The US space agency Nasa has unveiled a new series of retro posters advertising trips to Jupiter, Mars and beyond. It is a continuation of last year's series of posters advertising space tourism and travel to distant worlds, created with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Are you interested in what an "excursion" to Mars looks like? NASA takes you across the surface of the red planet with a video of a 360-degree panorama from the perspective of the Curiosity rover. In the video, you can see the varied surface of Mars - both sand dunes and rocky surfaces.
If in 1960 the first woman who wanted to become an astronaut was rejected at NASA, today women are writing a new history of flights into space. Half of NASA's future astronauts who have trained at the training center for the past two years are women. Will they also become members of the first human expedition to Mars?
What you see in the photo is the first flower that grew in space! Some time ago, we already reported that lettuce and wheat have grown on the International Space Station (ISS), and this is the first time that a flower has grown and bloomed. It is an orange zinnia with 13 petals.
Even the universe is drowning in garbage. The American space agency Nasa is currently tracking around 20,000 pieces of waste materials, spent rocket parts, broken satellites and tons of other waste larger than a tennis ball. All these objects are moving in space at a speed of 27,360 km/h. In addition, we list about 500,000 other pieces of garbage between the size of a tennis ball and a marble. Where does this lead?
Space salad? Even children would eat these types of vegetables. But so far, the honor has only gone to the astronauts on the International Space Station ISS, who set a new milestone by growing the first food in space (Project Veggie). It is a new step in training humans for a mission on Mars and an idea that has been toyed with in many films, the latest of which is The Martian.
