NASA has a great end-of-year review on their website nasa.gov. The space agency achieved some great accomplishments in 2008: A Mars landing with the Phoenix Lander, stunning photographs from other planets in our solar system, major additions to the International Space Station, a joint lunar science mission with India, progressed toward the goal of returning astronauts to the moon, and celebrated two important anniversaries.
NASA celebrated the tenth year in operation of the International Space Station (ISS), and also celebrated their fifty years of operation as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The Apollo lunar program also hit the forty year mark, so this was quite a year for NASA and space exploration.
NASA’s 50th Anniversary site has animation, video and audio clips of historic moments from the past fifty years of space exploration.
