To build on the Moon, we need construction materials that can withstand bitter cold – so @NASAglenn invented a machine that can recreate that environment for testing!
This high-powered refrigerator, or cryocooler, removes heat without using any liquid.

One question I get a lot is can you see the stars differently from up in space. When we orbit on the night side of the planet, we get a view of the stars very much like being in a very dark place on Earth. And because of our orbital inclination, we get to see the stars of both the northern and southern hemisphere. I captured this shot of our galactic plane from one of the windows of the Crew Dragon Freedom that is docked to the zenith docking port.
