Apollo 16 'Grand Prix' Rover Test on the Moon HD 60FPS Stabilised
During the Apollo 16 mission in April 1972 the crew were tasked with putting the Lunar Roving Vehicle through a series of tests to asses its capabilities.
Commander John Young drove the electrically powered rover through a series of maneuvers—including S-turns, hairpin turns, hard stops, and acceleration to "high" speeds of roughly 10–18 km/h while Charlie Duke filmed it with a 16 mm camera from a safe distance.

This upscaled 16mm film of the Apollo 14 Flag Deployment is some of the clearest footage of Apollo Astronauts on the Lunar Surface ever seen. It has been speed corrected, interpolated and upscaled. It has also been synchronised with the mission audio resulting in a high quality Apollo HD video experience

Celebrating 65 years of humans in space!
Today on the International Day of Human Space Flight, we honor the first flight into space made by Yuri Gagarin in 1961, as well as the first Space Shuttle launch in 1981.
The best is yet to come.
Epic View from Orbit:
Artemis II’s Fiery Return Captured from the ISS! Astronauts aboard the International Space Station caught this jaw-dropping photo — a blazing streak of plasma slicing across Earth’s atmosphere as NASA’s Artemis II mission came roaring home.On April 10, 2026, the Orion spacecraft Integrity completed its historic ~10-day crewed lunar flyby — the first since Apollo 17 in 1972. Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch, and CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off San Diego at 8:07 p.m. EDT.That brilliant, glowing trail? It’s most likely the uncrewed service module as it separated and burned up in the intense heat of re-entry. Meanwhile, the crew module — protected by its advanced heat shield enduring temperatures up to ~5,000°F — carved through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds before deploying parachutes for a picture-perfect ocean landing.Imagine floating 250 miles above Earth, watching fellow humans return from the Moon in a streak of fire. This single image captures the raw drama, danger, and triumph of deep-space exploration like nothing else.From Gagarin’s first orbit 65 years ago to this moment — humanity keeps pushing the frontier farther. What an incredible time to be alive in the space age! Tag a fellow space lover who needs to see this!

March 6, 1969 - Apollo 9
Without doubt some of the finest photography of the Apollo program and one of my favourite chapters in the book.
The mission was conducted entirely in Earth orbit. Dave Scott is seen poking his head out of the hatch.
2 years later, he walked on the Moon.

This photo of Earth, dubbed the Blue Marble, was taken by the Apollo 17 crew #OTD in 1972 as they traveled to the Moon.
It soon became one of the most widely-distributed photographs in history.

Getting ready to rocket! 🚀
The Orion spacecraft we built for @NASA's Artemis II mission has been stacked onto the Space Launch System rocket! Early next year, "Integrity" will carry four astronauts on a mission to the Moon.
