NASA Selects the Sites on the Moon Where Two Astronauts Could Land in 2026
NASA is going back to the Moon, but first the space agency needs to decide where it’s going to park. On Friday, it revealed 13 candidate landing regions near the Moon’s south pole for the upcoming Artemis 3 mission, which aims to land a man and a woman on the lunar surface.
Witnesses Observe Earth’s Moon Fracture, Then Reassemble – Alternate Reality / Glitch?
Two friends were sitting along Lake Monroe, Florida late at night. They observe the moon fracture, then reassemble, as if they were where part of an alternate reality or glitch. Truly bizarre.
I recently came across this bizarre account:
“This happened in Sanford, Florida in 2021 at Lake Monroe, at the veteran memorial there. The memorial has a lot of places to sit. It was around 2am or so and I and my friend were sitting near the lake enjoying the full moon. We were sober and we don’t do drugs at all. We spoke about all sorts of things that night. And how we tend to see a lot of crazy things in that particular location after 12am.
So we are sitting there and I look up at the moon and I notice a dark spot on the full moon. And I thought it was just a random dark cloud. I pointed it out to my friend and at this point, we are both looking up. But this dark spot on the moon starts to spread and it looks like cracks. The moon was cracking and big pieces of the moon started to separate from it. We were both staring in disbelief. Trying to make sense of what was happening. It felt like it should not be happening. It felt wrong. Like a glitch. We were not scared, just confused. It felt off and very strange because the magnitude of what was happening never hit us. We keep looking up and the moon has completely fractured and separated all within 4 minutes or so.
As we keep looking up we see everything that happened being put in reverse. Just like if someone had hit a reverse button to all that had happened. We were seeing the moon get put back together. All this happened within 2 minutes. So the whole ordeal only took about 6-7 minutes or so.
After this happened we looked at each other and came to the conclusion that we had just witnessed a glitch in the matrix. And we were the only ones that saw it. No one online in our area was talking about it. And to this day that was the most insane thing I have ever seen. And now looking back at it, I have no idea what we did after that whole ordeal. It’s like it’s veiled or blocked from our memory. My friend feels the same way. I wonder if anyone else saw it.” JP
NOTE: I have read several moon-related accounts in recent years as if the witnesses were placed into an alternate reality for a brief period, then the action was reversed. I’d be interested in your thoughts. Lon

NASA’s Lucy Mission Team Spots a Surprise Tiny Moon Around a Trojan Asteroid – CNET
NASA’s first 4 miles to the moon starts today. Here’s how to watch.
NASA has never stopped sending probes into the cosmos, but it is about to renew its legacy as human deep space explorers.
The U.S. space agency will take its mega moon rocket out of storage on Tuesday before its inaugural Artemis I mission, an uncrewed expedition around the moon, which is scheduled to leave Earth as early as Aug. 29.
The first leg of that trip, which NASA hasn’t undertaken since the last Apollo mission in 1972, starts Tuesday with the slow crawl of the rocket and spacecraft to the launchpad in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Mission leaders refer to this final rollout as “the first four miles of NASA’s return to the moon,” said Michael Bolger, exploration ground systems manager at Kennedy Space Center, in a news briefing earlier this year.
As of 4:30 p.m. ET, the ground crew had opened the enormous Wizard of Oz-like bay doors on the Vehicle Assembly Building to let the beast out.
Watch a live broadcast of the skyscraper on wheels below or on NASA’s Kennedy Space Center YouTube channel. The livestream began at 3 p.m. ET on Aug. 16, with the roll beginning at about 9 p.m. ET:

It’s been a long time since NASA had a rocket of this magnitude, capable of sending heavy loads of cargo and astronauts into deep space. Not only is the 32-story, 5.75 million-pound rocket — officially known as the Space Launch System or SLS — built to travel to the moon, it’s expected to one day send the first crewed flight to Mars. Robotic scientific journeys to Saturn and Jupiter also could be in its future.
Artemis I, the first in a series of planned voyages named after the Greek goddess and twin of Apollo, is a more than $4 billion launch to fly the Orion capsule farther than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown.
Though this test mission won’t include astronauts, the 42-day spaceflight will allow the United States to send a crew on the next, more complex mission, Artemis II. The first moonwalk of a woman and person of color is expected to happen during Artemis III, planned for around 2026.

For Artemis I, an uncrewed Orion will fly a total of some 1.3 million miles, including 40,000 miles beyond the moon as it tests different orbits. Forty-two days after liftoff, the capsule will splash down in the Pacific Ocean. A primary purpose of this first mission is to test Orion’s ability to safely reenter Earth’s atmosphere and drop into the correct spot for the Navy to recover, said Bill Nelson, NASA’s administrator.
“After its long flight test, Orion will come home faster and hotter than any spacecraft has before. It’s coming back at 32 Mach [speed]. It’s going to hit the Earth’s atmosphere at 32 times the speed of sound. It’s going to dip into the atmosphere and bleed off some of that speed before it starts descending through the atmosphere,” said the former astronaut during a briefing on Aug. 3. “On the Space Shuttle, we were at 25 Mach, which is about 17,500 miles an hour.”
But the mega moon rocket has to warm up to that. It’ll never travel over 1 mph on its crawl to the launchpad.

The Sturgeon Moon dazzles viewers
The final supermoon of the year, the Sturgeon Moon, shone in all its glory Thursday night.
The term “supermoon” was first coined in 1979 by astrologer Richard Nolle and it refers to “a New or Full Moon which occurs with the Moon at or near (within 90 percent of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit.” It’s when the moon is at its biggest and brightest. Thursday’s supermoon was a marginal supermoon and is the third closest full moon of the year after the supermoons in June and July. While it may be a supermoon bronze medalist, it was still pretty dang beautiful.
The Sturgeon Moon overlapped with the Perseids meteor shower, but it still wowed viewers appearing full from Thursday night to Saturday morning.
The Sturgeon Moon gets its name from the Native American Algonquin tribes who, according to the Maine Farmer’s Almanac, referred to the August full moon as the Sturgeon Moon after the fish that were easier to catch in the Great Lakes and other bodies of water in late summer.
