NASA Announces Design for New Deep Space Exploration System
NASA is ready to move forward with the development of the Space Launch System — an advanced heavy-lift launch vehicle that will provide an entirely new national capability for human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit. The Space Launch System will give the nation a safe, affordable and sustainable means of reaching beyond our current limits and opening up new discoveries from the unique vantage point of space.
The Space Launch System, or SLS, will be designed to carry the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle, as well as important cargo, equipment and science experiments to Earth’s orbit and destinations beyond. Additionally, the SLS will serve as a back up for commercial and international partner transportation services to the International Space Station.
“This launch system will create good-paying American jobs, ensure continued U.S. leadership in space, and inspire millions around the world,” NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said. “President Obama challenged us to be bold and dream big, and that’s exactly what we are doing at NASA. While I was proud to fly on the space shuttle, kids today can now dream of one day walking on Mars.”
Free DLC coming to Portal 2 Next Month
Valve will finally be releasing the first bit of DLC for Portal 2. Yeah, you remember that DLC that was to be released this summer? That one.
Well, according to Valve’s marketing VP, Doug Lombardi (speaking to Kotaku at Gamescom), the DLC will be launching mid-September, which is “still technically summer” since fall doesn’t start until September 21.
What comes with the DLC is still kinda unknown. When it was announced, leaderboards, new test chambers, and a “Challenge Mode” were all mentioned.
Anyway, the DLC will be available for free and will be available on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.

The shuttle Atlantis landed this morning, bringing an end to STS-135 and to the Shuttle program. That’s it folks.
Remember that NASA’s mission doesn’t end with the shuttle. We need to continue to fund exploration and good sciencescience, to discover new things both here and in space.
And finally, if you haven’t watched and fallen in love with this STS-135 tribute/launch video I don’t know what’s wrong with you.

APOD: Atlantis Farewell from Parkes

Explanation: The Parkes 64 meter radio telescope is known for its contribution to human spaceflight, famously supplying television images from the Moon to denizens of planet Earth during Apollo 11. The enormous, steerable, single dish looms in the foreground of this early evening skyscape. Above it, the starry skies of New South Wales, Australia include familiar southerly constellations Vela, Puppis, and Hydra along with a sight that will never be seen again. Still glinting in sunlight and streaking right to left just below the radio telescope’s focus cabin, the space shuttle orbiter Atlantis has just undocked with the International Space Station for the final time. The space station itself follows arcing from the lower right corner of the frame, about two minutes behind Atlantis in low Earth orbit. Atlantis is set for its final landing early this morning (July 21, 5:56am EDT) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.
The final launch of the U.S. Space Shuttle program. Good luck Atlantis, and thank you everyone.
You are our heroes.
