Amazing - NASA Tests Ways to Crash Land on Mars
We're trying a better approach for arriving on Mars… by colliding with its surface. The Simplified High Impact Energy Landing Device (SHIELD) is a lander concept being tested at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). It might one day at some point give a better approach to minimal expense missions to arrive on Mars. Instead of depend on parachutes or retrorockets, Safeguard would incorporate a folding, accordion-like base to retain the energy of an arrival.

Look at those Amazing wings | NASA’s Lucy Mission Extends its Solar Arrays
NASA’s Lucy mission tests the deployment of its solar arrays in the thermal vacuum chamber at Lockheed Martin Space in Littleton, Colorado. Each of the two circular arrays is nearly 24 feet (7.3 m) wide. These arrays will power Lucy on its 12-year odyssey through the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, breaking records for a solar powered mission by traveling 530 million miles (853 million km) from the Sun. These large arrays will capture the sunlight needed to power the spacecraft as it travels through deep space.

How You will Land on Moon | NASA
While Apollo put the underlying strides on the Moon, Artemis opens the entrance for mankind to curiously financially work and live on an alternate universe.

Performer Kelly Marie Tran of "Star Wars: The Rising of Skywalker" lent her voice to this endeavor.
NASA Answers: How Do Spacecraft Slow Down?
How do spacecraft slow down? Rigid heat shields and retropropulsion have been the favorites of engineers for years. Now NASA is testing a new inflatable heat shield technology that could allow us to carry even larger payloads to worlds with atmospheres:
