High school and university students competed in the 2018 Human Exploration Rover Challenge event at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Students came from across the U.S. as well as several foreign countries such as Brazil, Germany, India, and Mexico. This event, which is normally a 2 day event, was shortened to 1 day in 2018 due to adverse weather conditions.
This year (2010) marks the 17th running of NASA's Great Moonbuggy Race, in which students from around the world build and race moonbuggies at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. A moonbuggy is a light, human-powered vehicle similar in size and design to the first lunar rovers that rolled across the moon during the Apollo lunar missions in the early 1970s. Students lavish their time, energy, creativity and sweat on their buggies. The results are always stellar...but sometimes the moonbuggies strike back!
About the 2010 Great Moonbuggy Race:
Nearly 100 student teams from around the globe will drive their specially crafted lunar rovers through a challenging course of rugged, moon-like terrain at NASA's 17th annual Great Moonbuggy Race in Huntsville, Ala., April 9-10. More than 1,000 high school, college and university students from 19 states and Puerto Rico, Canada, Germany, Serbia, India and Romania are registered to race at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

“The black portion on the intertank absorbed too much heat and caused excessive expansion which prevented accurate instrumentation readings, so the intertank was painted all white. The American flags were added to give recognition to the United States’ space effort.”
NASA Acting Administrator Robert Lightfoot delivers the "State of NASA", February 12, 2018, at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. In his address, Lightfoot discussed what the President's Fiscal Year 2019 budget request means for America's space agency. According to Lightfoot, it "reflects the administration's confidence that America will lead the way back to the Moon and take the next giant leap". Lightfoot delivered the "State of NASA" address in Marshall's Center for Advanced Manufacturing where engineers are pushing boundaries in the fields of additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and more. Hardware for NASA's Space Launch System and a model of the agency's Orion spacecraft served as a backdrop for the annual event. SLS, which is managed by Marshall, will enable a new era of exploration beyond Earth's orbit by launching astronauts on missions to deep-space destinations including the Moon and Mars.
A Moon 2 Mars NASA social tour was held simultaneously with the 2019 budget rollout at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. The social tour brought 13 social media-savvy individuals together on March 11 to share a behind the scenes tour of the facility. Attendees viewed the liquid hydrogen tank test article for NASA’s deep space rocket, the Space Launch System. The group also toured concepts for deep space habitats and landers. The final tour stop was the additive manufacturing lab.
