The buzzkills over at NASA throw a wrench into the planning process of your month long, End Of The World Orgy. Now, it seems, there won't be a cataclysm to save us from our debts and STDs. Thanks for nothing, Jesus.

NASA plans on launching a missile at the moon tomorrow (which you can watch live here) for scientific purposes. They say it's to uncover ice trapped below the moon's surface, but I suspect it's actually because it's a totally badass and awesome thing to do.
Science Buzz What resemble dainty butterfly wings are actually roiling cauldrons of gas heated to more than 36,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The gas is tearing across space at more than 600,000 miles an hour — fast enough to travel from Earth to the moon in 24 minutes! Once again NASA manages to capture the attention of Star Wars lovers everywhere. [via NASA]
Holy smokes! NASA released this image of the Los Angeles fires as seen from a satellite in space. It was taken mid-morning on Aug. 30 and shows the smoke plumes rising approximately 4.3 miles above sea level.

The space shuttle is back on the ground after spending 16 days in space on a mission to repair a toilet in the international space station. the Shuttle landed a little after 10:45 EDT this morning.
NASA unveiled a new service today where you could add your name to a list that will be included in the next shuttle to Mars, and two reddit users took advantage of the oppurtunity to make their voices heard.
A 7-year-old named Julian found out the Spirit Mars rover was stuck, and sent this idea to fix it. NASA is so impressed that they're trying the idea and sending him an award for ingenuity. As if that weren't outrage enough, they're also naming the next rover “Curiosity,” on the suggestion of a sixth-grader. Awesome work, NASA. Don't come crying to me when the Russkies win the space race.

One small step for NASA, one giant running leap for Stephen Colbert. After much anticipation, NASA said Tuesday it would not name the new room in the international space station after Colbert, even though he won the most votes in an online write-in contest. Instead, a treadmill will carry the Colbert name into space.
A spinning star resembling a giant cosmic hand has been captured in images taken by a NASA observatory orbiting miles above the Earth's surface.
Science Buzz NASA may name a space toilet after Stephen Colbert after he urged viewers to vote for him. Falling behind were nominees “Earthrise,” “Legacy,” “Serenity,” and “Venture,” which Colbert claimed sounded more appropriate as flavors of “organic tea.”
Science Buzz After a five-year long alcohol-induced slumber, NASA's Mars Odyssey Orbiter awoke yesterday, wondering, “Woah, Universe, where am I?” Hope you slept well, sweet prince. Now just dust off those space rays and get back to work.

A rocket carrying a NASA global warming satellite splashed into the ocean near Antarctica after a failed launch. In NASA's defense, this was, actually, rocket science.
Science Buzz NASA, ever coy, officially announced they might have found life on Mars. That, or the planet is geologically active. But probably there is biological life there! Maybe. Sorry David Bowie, you have to keep wondering.
Um, guys, who knocked over the really expensive rocket? I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

NASA's space shuttle Endeavour is a reusable spacecraft that's been on 22 missions since 1992. The Big Picture has some great images that show one full cycle in the life of the shuttle, preparing for and executing a trip to the International Space Station.

Whip out your 3D glasses and take in the topology of the surface of Mars. These 362 new images of Mars from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show the Red Planet's surface in unprecedented detail.
Scientists are trying to figure out what this weird blue glow over Saturn could possibly be. Photos captured by NASA's Cassini spacecraft show a blue-green glow near Saturn's north pole unlike any other astronomers have ever seen.
