In preparation of landing humans on the Moon as part of the ongoing Artemis program, SpaceX recently ran a test of one of its lunar lander engines while simulating the cold temperatures of space.

The moon, once a hotbed of geological activity billions of years ago, now preserves its turbulent past through features such as extinct volcanoes and lava tubes.

Cislunar space has taken geopolitical center stage recently, with both Russian and Indian probes attempting to land near the lunar south pole.

The Moon was geologically active between 3.7 and 2.5 billion years ago, experiencing quakes, volcanic eruptions, and outgassing.

A newly released report from the Government Accountability Office urges NASA to work toward lowering costs for its lunar ambitions.

According to a new report to the United States Congress, NASA officials admitted that the space agency's SLS rocket program is "unaffordable."

A new report accuses the space agency of a lack of transparency regarding the cost of its SLS program.

After a botched initial launch on April 20, SpaceX’s Starship is fully stacked and primed for a second takeoff, awaiting regulatory approval.

Mining water, metals, and oxygen from the Moon and asteroids seems promising, but only if these space-based resources are reasonably accessible.

An energy source which could sustain life on the Moon for long periods has been designed by researchers.
