This vintage NASA film, produced before Apollo 11, captures the intense testing behind one of humanity’s greatest achievements. From explosive rocket failures to successful spacecraft escape tests and parachute landings, every frame shows how NASA engineers pushed the limits to ensure safety in space. Watch prototypes of the Apollo command, service, and lunar modules undergo drop tests, engine firings, and re-entry trials — the groundwork that made the Moon landing possible. #Apollo #NASA #Space

Blue Origin, the space company owned by Jeff Bezos, has successfully launched its New Glenn rocket from Florida. The rocket was carrying two Nasa spacecraft deployed towards Mars. The Escapade satellites will take 22 months to reach Mars and will orbit the planet to measure its atmosphere and magnetic field. The reusable booster powering New Glenn also separated from the rocket's upper stage and touched down on a floating landing pad in the Atlantic Ocean, in a successful first for Blue Origin.

Jeff Bezos' backed Blue Origin achieved a significant milestone with its New Glenn rocket. The booster successfully landed at sea after its debut mission. The rocket also carried NASA's ESCAPADE satellites on their journey to Mars. This mission marks a crucial step for Blue Origin's reusable launch program and its commercial capabilities. The ESCAPADE satellites will study Mars' atmosphere and solar wind interaction. #BlueOrigin #NewGlenn #NASA #ETNOW | ET NOW
