		<description><![CDATA[The International Space Station (ISS) may be the greatest machine you never gave a thought to. It&#8217;s 354 ft. (108 m) long, 240 ft (73 m) wide and with its vast array of solar panels would almost perfectly cover the rectangle of a football field. That&#8217;s a sweet hunk of hardware, even if its $100 billion price tag and its dubious record of scientific accomplishments have caused a lot of detractors to argue it never should have been built. Still, built it was and it&#8217;s been sailing silently and grandly overhead at a speed of 17,500 mph (28,200 k/h) and an average altitude of 250 mi. (400 km) since its first module was launched in 1998. The view from that rarefied high ground is something spectacular, especially after the installation of the seven-windowed node known as the cupola in 2010. What follows is just a small sampling of what orbiting astronauts see every day.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=science.time.com&#038;blog=13785469&#038;post=12891&#038;subd=timeecocentric&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Forty years ago today, Gene Cernan, commander of Apollo 17, climbed back up the ladder of his lunar module and took off from the moon&#8217;s Taurus-Littrow valley — thus ending America&#8217;s lunar program. Cernan, who also orbited the Earth aboard Gemini 9 and orbited the moon on Apollo 10, is frustrated with the aimlessness of America&#8217;s current space program, but is confident that one day — even if it&#8217;s a distant day — we&#8217;ll return to the moon. As Apollo 17&#8242;s 40th anniversary approached, he spoke with Time:   On the public’s enduring fascination with the lunar astronauts: One of the things I’ve observed is that almost none of the questions I get pertain to the technology. People don’t ask about how fast you were going through the perilune or the apolune when you were entering the shadow. No one cares. The questions people have are about the humanity of the experience. What did it feel like? How did you sleep? Were you scared? They also want to know about the experience of taking my first step on the moon. I say it was important to me and it&#8217;s mine and no one can take it away. But the memorable steps were the last ones. On feelings of faith and his belief in God: What I saw as I looked at the Earth from the moon was that it was all too beautiful to have happened by accident. This could not have been the result of two dust particles coming together. I wanted to do grab that crescent Earth, put it in my spacesuit and take it home and show it to people. Looking up at the Earth, I had the sense that I was sitting on God’s front porch. (PHOTOS: Pictures From Apollo 17) On having fun on the moon: We spent three hard days working and we had a mission to accomplish. I was aware of what could happen if I fell down and my suit tore or if the engine didn’t light, but we didn&#8217;t live under<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=science.time.com&#038;blog=13785469&#038;post=12428&#038;subd=timeecocentric&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ron Evans fell sound asleep in the command module of Apollo 17 when he and his crewmates were waiting to take off. It wasn&#8217;t easy to doze off in an Apollo spacecraft, least of all when you&#8217;re flat on the back with your feet in the air, shoulder to shoulder with two other men, all of you inflated to cartoonish size inside heavy, pressurized suits, perched atop 363 ft. of explosive Saturn V rocket. But Apollo 17 was launching late on a December night — 40 Decembers ago this month, in fact — it was awfully quiet on the pad and a technical glitch caused a two-hour delay. So Evans fell asleep and soon started to snore, and his crewmates, Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt amused themselves by griping to Mission Control about the infernal noise. Before long, however, the whole crew was alert again, and then the engines lit with a sky-brightening light that could be seen as far away as North Carolina. Just before ignition, Cernan, the commander, who had flown to the moon before, had some words for his rookie crew. &#8221;I know you&#8217;re going to do your jobs,&#8221; he told them. &#8220;But make sure you do one other thing: enjoy this, have fun. You&#8217;re not going to get to do it again.&#8221; (More: Time Talks with Gene Cernan, Commander of Apollo 17) He had no idea how right he&#8217;d be. Cernan was one of only 24 men to fly out to the moon and one of only three — including Jim Lovell and John Young — to make the trip twice. Some of them walked, some of them orbited, some — the snakebit crew of Apollo 13 — simply swung around the far side and came home. But they were men who had the brass to make such a trip, backed by a country that had the brass to send them there in the first place. And then, on Dec. 13, 1972 at 11:34 PM Houston time, it all came to an end. After nine moon missions spanning<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=science.time.com&#038;blog=13785469&#038;post=12405&#038;subd=timeecocentric&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Few people had a worse time in space than the crew of Apollo VII. It wasn&#8217;t just the 11 days they spent in orbit in 1968 test-driving the new — and decidedly cramped — Apollo command module. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;d trained for, after all.  What they hadn&#8217;t banked on was that they&#8217;d all contract serious head colds — first Wally Schirra, the veteran commander, then his rookie crewmates Walt Cunningham and Donn Eisele. All three men grew cranky, snappish and downright mutinous, even breaking mission rules by refusing to wear their helmets during re-entry, lest their already clogged ears pop painfully. Schirra, who had announced in advance that Apollo VII would be his last mission, retired and went on to become a pitchman for, yes, the cold medicine Actifed. Cunningham and Eisele, who had been in line for flights to the moon, were permanently grounded. In many ways, NASA got lucky that an Apollo VII happened only once. If you were trying to design a friendlier Petri dish for infectious agents, you couldn&#8217;t do better than a spacecraft — a confined space in which densely packed humans breathe recirculated air, touch common surfaces over and over again and have a whole lot less opportunity to wash than they do on Earth. The risk becomes worse as NASA contemplates renewed flights to deep space where medical care is even farther out of reach than it is when crews are in orbit. &#8220;Two years in a microgravity environment may have profound changes in astronauts and in aggressive microbes,&#8221; says infectious disease specialist Dr. Leonard Mermel  of Brown University and Rhode Island Hospital, &#8220;creating a scenario not previously experienced in the history of human space flight.&#8221; To prevent that from happening, Mermel, in consultation with NASA, has just published  a paper in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases exploring what steps we need to take to make space a healthier place — and what the perils are if we don&#8217;t. (MORE: When Wally Schirra Said, &#8220;Go to Hell&#8221;) Mermel began his work by surveying<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=science.time.com&#038;blog=13785469&#038;post=11143&#038;subd=timeecocentric&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once watched Neil Armstrong sign his name, and it appeared to be one of the hardest things he&#8217;d ever done. Not because he was infirm — though in 2010 he was clearly looking frail — and not because his signature wasn&#8217;t still the strong and spiky cursive that was always as much calligraphy as it was mere handwriting. It was because for more than 41 years, writing his name was all people seemed to want him to do. For a uniquely private man, the offering up of the autograph had become an act of surrender, of obeisance, even of commerce — as the signature he handed over in a restaurant on a Monday would wind up for sale at an autograph show on a Tuesday. So he just stopped doing it — until one day he had to. That day was in March 2010, when he, Gene Cernan and Jim Lovell — moon men all — were part of a morale tour of American military bases in the Middle East. I went along on the tour as well, and on this particular evening, our group — well, the three astronauts, actually — were being feted at an outdoor party at the residence of the commander of the local U.S. naval fleet. When we arrived, we could see that there was a queue to enter the residence — a queue that was moving unusually slowly because there was a guest book at the door that attendees were expected to sign. Armstrong, the man of principle and hounded legend, could not sign; Armstrong, the ex-Navy man, could not not. So Armstrong the pragmatist split the difference. When his turn came, he took the pen, stood for a moment — and then scribbled something wholly illegible. There was a capital N, to be sure, but what followed was just a brief dash of gibberish. He then put down the pen and entered the party — and I still half-suspect the page wound up on eBay the next day.
