A view of a hill called Rocheport on the edge of Endeavour Crater on #Mars, made from images captured by NASA's Opportunity rover five years ago today on May 28, 2017. The rover’s tracks are visible in the first and second frames here.

On April 23, 1972, at the end of the 3rd EVA, #Apollo 16 astronauts John Young and Charlie Duke performed "lunar olympics" high jumps on the #Moon. Weighing only 65 pounds in 1/6g they got up about 4 feet but Duke lost balance and fell backwards, landing on his PLSS life support backpack. Luckily it didn’t get damaged.
Can you imagine opening your front door and popping your head out to see the vast expanse of the Earth stretching away below you and the blackness of space above? That’s exactly what Apollo 9 CM Pilot Dave Scott did on March 6, 1969 when he opened the hatch of the Command Module “Gumdrop” while in low Earth orbit and partially exited for a look around. What a view!
