Lucy Into the Sky
About a week ago NASA launched the rocket made by Lockheed-Martin facility which is near Littleton, Colorado. The Rocket named Lucy is going to explore the asteroids that share the orbit of Jupiter.
One interesting aspect of this mission is that Lucy will come back to Earth's orbit October of 2022 and again in 2024 to get power from Earth's gravity to go back to Jupiter' orbit. When NASA science missions chief, Thomas Zurbuchen, was told the plan, he said, "You've got to be kidding."
The Lucy mission will help scientists learn about the origins of the solar system. Harold F. Levison of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado is the principal investigator. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center will manage the project, Spaceship Lucy.

People do not like the restaurant on the moon because there is no atmosphere.
When an astronaut's hair gets too long he eclipse it.
An astronaut would park his spaceship at a parking meteor!
