New footage shows one of NASA's WB-57 research jets spewing out flames and smoke as it skids across a runway during an emergency landing near Houston. The veteran aircraft was due to play a small role in the Artemis II mission.

The agency is offering long-term ground leases with a 20-year base term and two 20-year options, with annual rents between $8,100 and $11,800 per acre.

NASA is opening the gate for lease proposals on excess land near Johnson Space Center, and it wants commercial space neighbors.

To help meet that challenge, The University of Texas at Arlington has received a three-year, $750,000 grant from NASA’s MUREP program to develop a new class of impact-resistant materials designed to protect next-generation aircraft during extreme landing or collision events.
