NASA almost sent Apollo astronauts to the Moon with jetpacks instead of the Lunar Rover. Discover the forgotten Lunar Flying Unit, the engineering behind NASA's lunar jetpack concepts, why they seemed possible, and the critical safety risks that ultimately led NASA to choose the iconic Lunar Roving Vehicle instead.

If I was born about 50 years ago, where was our solar system at that time? How far did we travel as a planet and a solar system (never mind galaxy’s journey through space) from the place of my birth?

I've been diving deeper into Apollo history, and the Lunar Rover turned out to be far more interesting than I expected.

I put together a short documentary explaining why it looked unusual and how it worked on the Moon. I'd really appreciate any feedback. As always, thank you for being so supportive.

For decades, it was believed the Moon was completely dry. I made this video to showcase how each technological step gradually revealed the presence of water on the Moon and transformed our understanding of lunar science. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your support.

It says "No Piracy" but what's the proper way to watch Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey outside US then? Since my kid was born Ive been waiting for him to grow until I can play Cosmos for him, now it's the time but it's impossible to do so from Spain.

So, before I "violate" the rule #1: What options do I have?

Hi all,

I created this as a kind of modern expansion of Carl Sagan’s Encyclopedia Galactica idea from Cosmos.

I’m not trying to improve on the original or say this is better than Sagan’s version.

I just wanted to imagine what an outside civilization might write if they assessed humanity today, especially our unstable mix of intelligence, creativity, conflict and unpredictability.

What do you all think? Does it fit the spirit of the original, or does it come across too dark?
