‘Apogee of Fear’ is the first horror movie shot in space, but NASA isn’t sure if they want to release it
In 2008, British game developer Richard Garriott went to space as a space tourist, and with him, he brought a video camera to document his unique vacation. While he was on the International Space Station, he shot a short horror film called “Apogee of Fear” starring two American astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut. Because fuck, he paid $30 mil to get there, why not?

Virginia considering tax incentive for space burials
Being buried in the ground takes up a lot of room. Even if you’re cremated, you might have a headstone and that’s just more room and who wants to waste all that good land for dead people? The state of Virginia is thinking more about boosting traffic for its Mid-Atlantic Spaceport, but in any case, they’re considering offering tax incentives for those who want their remains blasted off into space.

This is what it looks like inside the International Space Station during a reboost
The International Space Station (ISS) occasionally has to boost itself into a higher altitude to counteract the effects of microgravity drag. Recently, the ISS boosted itself about two miles up, and video cameras caught what happened inside to Commander Mike Fossum and Flight Engineers Satoshi Furukawa and Sergei Volkov as the ISS floats away from them with them inside.

Fermi gamma ray space telescope detects 600 mystery objects, possibly dark matter
The Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope recently produced a map of the night sky, and out of 1873 new sources, nearly 600 were complete mysteries. In this week’s ScienceCast, researchers speculate on the nature of the mystery objects – including the possibility that they’re made of dark matter.

A satellite is coming out of orbit, but the bad part is that no one’s sure where it will land
UARS, a five ton, 20 year old satellite has fallen out of orbit and will soon come back down to Earth, but no one knows exactly where. Most of the time when satellites are decommissioned, the re-entry and burn up process is very precisely managed, but not with UARS. This old satellite decided it was time to come down and it’s coming down, dammit.

The Astronaut’s Guide to Life in Space
NPR requested from NASA this 1980s-era video with commentary by astronauts of various missions. The footage, which we edited, arrived on VHS. We don’t know much about it, except that it’s playful in tone, so we decided to have some fun with it, too. Here’s an “instructional video” on survival in space, in case we ever decide to resurrect the program.

NASA forms a new department focused on manned deep space exploration
The end of the space shuttle era was sad, but the space shuttle was never meant to last forever, and it was never more really than an orbital pick-up truck. Now that the shuttle program is over, NASA is focusing its efforts on more spectacular things, like manned missions to Mars and the asteroid belt.

Must watch: Neil deGrasse Tyson’s inspirational rant on NASA cutbacks
Bill Maher gets Neil deGrasse Tyson started on the funding of NASA versus other government programs. Put this man in front of the president (Tyson, not Maher) and have him demand more funding for space exploration. MOON CITIES NOW.

NASA finds DNA components in meteorites, concludes that we are made of star stuff
Scientists at NASA have uncovered new evidence that DNA components found in meteorites can originate in space, lending new credence to the theory that life on Earth may have arisen from a pre-existing “kit” of materials delivered via asteroid.

The STS-135 crew of space shuttle Atlantis and the Expedition 28 crew of the International Space Station were recently treated with great views of the Aurora Australis, also known as the Southern Lights and they took some gorgeous pictures. It was as if the Sun was giving the Atlantis space shuttle a final goodbye in its own way.
