NASA 'cake-ball'

: A large, spinning NASA logo outside of the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex inspired the cake for this year's "Taste of Space" culinary evening on Saturday (Nov. 2). Duff Goldman and his team at Charm City Cakes made the half-NASA "cake-ball" so the opposite side of the sphere resembled the moon for the 55th anniversary of the lunar landing. The rotating cake also had a chocolate astronaut and pulled-sugar nebulae.

60 years down, 440 to go

: Though the steel installation was in part a tribute to them, only two of the seven original astronauts attended the Nov. 10, 1964, dedication of the Project Mercury Monument at Launch Complex-14 in Cape Canaveral. Gus Grissom and Wally Schirra joined NASA, Air Force and government officials to celebrate the success of the first U.S. human space program. Encased in the landmark is a time capsule not to be opened until 2464.

Open Gateway

: Space Center has opened its new Artemis Gateway exhibit featuring a walkthrough mockup of a lunar orbit habitat. Designed by Northrop Grumman and used by NASA to assess the best configuration for the Gateway's Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO), the full-size module is outfitted with science racks, docking ports and astronaut crew quarters. The mockup is one of the first artifacts of the Gateway platform to go on display.
