The space shuttle Columbia breaks up in the atmosphere over Texas while returning to the Kennedy space center. The entire seven-member crew of STS-107 is lost in the accident. Columbia was the first space shuttle to fly and this is her 28th mission. Investigations conclude that a piece of foam from the fuel tank broke off during launch and punctured the orbiter's left wing. This hole in the wing allowed hot gases to enter during reentry, causing the orbiter lose control and break up while traveling at over 13,000 miles per hour. NASA grounds the entire space shuttle fleet until safety updates can be made.

The Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft is successfully landed on the surface of the asteroid Eros. NEAR sends back unprecedented images of the asteroid's surface during its hour-long descent. NEAR had been in orbit around Eros since February 14, 2000. It was never designed to land on the asteroid. The landing is a last minute idea to get some additional data as the spacecraft as it runs out of fuel and nears the end of its mission.

Building on the accomplishments of the previous decade, Kennedy Space Center entered the 2000s with some challenging goals to achieve. Not the least of these was processing and launching NASA’s space shuttles and completing construction of the International Space Station, as well as managing the agency’s Launch Service Program and its many Earth-observing, scientific and interplanetary missions.

During this decade, Kennedy processed and launched 33 successful space shuttle missions, most of these to the space station, and oversaw a record-setting 53 expendable launch vehicle missions.

Where did it all begin? Well, scientist believed that the Moon formed 4.51 billion years ago when a large ‘Mars-sized’ protoplanet called Theia crashed into the young Earth! The debris flung into orbit around the Earth accreted to form the Moon.

There is no atmosphere on the Moon, so if you visit you have to bring your own air to breathe!

Earth’s daily tides are caused by the Moons gravitational influence.

The Moon is moving away from Earth at a rate of 38 mm/yr!

The Moon is also tidally locked with Earth meaning the same side always faces Earth!

Throughout the month there are 8 phases that the Moon goes through as it completes its orbit around the Earth:

New Moon, Crescent, Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Crescent again.

Mars is located just beyond earth making it the 4th planet from the sun.  It is the 2nd smallest planet and was named after the roman god of war. It has two small moons (Phobos & Diemos) and is often referred to as the "red planet” due to its rusty red dust. Mars is a rocky terrestrial planet about 1/6th the size of Earth and most closely resembles Earth. This makes it a favourite space probe missions and location to search extraterrestrial life!

The Kelper Space Telescope was designed to survey a portion of the Milky way to search for Exoplanets similar to Earth orbiting other stars. (The definition of Exoplanets means planets outside our solar system)

The Kelper's primary and K2 Missions have discovered over 2,500 exoplanets outside our solar system, including rocky-Earth sized planets in the goldilocks zones of their stars. Based on Kelper's estimates, there are possibly as many as 40 billion Earth-like planets in the Milky way.(Astronomers say goldilocks zone to show that a planet is in the right area of orbit for life on that planet, not too cold and not too hot)

Kelper Space Telescope was named after the 17th century German astronomer Johannes Kelper who was the best known for his laws of planetary motion.
