NASA picks landing site at the moon's south pole for ice-drilling robot | Space
This week, the space agency and the company Intuitive Machines announced Shackleton Crater landing site at the south pole of the moon for a small lander set to launch next year.
The robotic mission includes NASA's Polar Resources Ice-Mining Experiment-1 ( PRIME-1 ) that requires solar power and a view of Earth for communications. The ridge zone should provide both, NASA said.
Moon City: Famed NASA engineer reveals why it's a higher priority than Mars
Humanity could be on the verge of building permanent settlements on other planets, and an ex-NASA engineer is all for it.
Homer Hickam is perhaps best known as the inspiration for October Sky , a 1999 movie about growing up in West Virginia and building a rocket against the odds. He was first inspired when, as a child, he watched Sputnik flying in the sky in 1957.

Beaver Moon: You need to watch the longest lunar eclipse of the century
November's Frosty Moon, or the Beaver Moon, rises along with the last lunar eclipse of the year. Although it's not a total lunar eclipse, it's still damn close as nearly 97 percent of the Moon will be covered by Earth's shadow.
The Full Moon will rise on November 19 at 5 p.m. Eastern and reaches peak illumination at 3:58 a.m. Eastern. Peak illumination is when the Full Moon shines at its brightest when the whole visible lunar face is illuminated by the light from the Sun.
