The lunar rocks brought home by Apollo astronauts reshaped our understanding of our Moon, the Earth, and the entire solar system.

Some of our solar system's moons are ocean worlds that may be habitable for some form of life... though not for humans. Join Amanda Hendrix, senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, to explore the habitability of worlds in the outer solar system.

Jacqueline Cochran won speed records and air races in the 1930s, led the Women Airforce Service Pilots during World War II, ran for Congress and broke the speed of sound in the 1950s, and held the title of fastest woman in the world in the 1960s.

Join us as we get up close and personal with the Green Bank Observatory's massive telescope and meet the people who keep it listening to the far corners of the universe. 

When humans explore space, we have to reproduce all the same systems that Earth provides to sustain life—water, air, surface, and biota — in order to survive in the unforgiving environment of space. Join Julie Robinson, NASA’s deputy director for earth science, as we explore what living in space teaches us about life on Earth.

In this episode of STEM in 30 we look at how rockets work help your students with their own rocket launch.

Join Marc Shepanek from NASA’s Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer to hear about testing sites on Earth — like the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions — that support work done on the International Space Station and beyond. 

In this episode of STEM in 30 we explore aerial advertisement, like sky writing and banners flying behind airplanes.

In honor of the mission's 50th anniversary, this episode of STEM in 30 will look at the science, legacy, and technologies that culminated in this final Apollo mission and how these Moon missions laid the groundwork for future lunar missions.
