That wouldn't explain why darkness fell on the earth for 3 hours... that would be from a solar eclipse not a lunar eclipse... and eclipses do not last for 3 hours. You also can't have a solar and lunar eclipse at the same time. FWIW, NASA also tracks Santa Claus... they aren't above playing games of pretend. More on reddit.com

Spaceflight is dangerous. An individual launch has about a 5% chance of failure . For another measurement, of the 556 people who have been to space, 19 have died for a 3.4% fatality rate. The rate of launch failures has been basically unchanged since the 1970s. There's not enough data about human spaceflight fatalities to make conclusions about the trend. For most astronauts in today's relatively peaceful period, spaceflight is the most dangerous individual thing they've done in their lives so far. For comparison, BASE jumping, probably the most dangerous sport, kills 1.7% of participants. Participating in D-Day for the Allies had a fatality rate of 2.8%. Being a Navy SEAL in the present day has a fatality rate of less than 1%. More on reddit.com

The New Testament does not give a date or a year for the crucifixion. All it says is that it was during the Prefecture of Pilate (as supported by Tacitus and Josephus) which was from 26-36 CE (Josephus Antiquities 18). Luke's Gospel says that Jesus was baptized by John in the 15th year of Tiberius which would be 29 CE. The traditional date of "33" comes from combining this with John's Gospel saying that Jesus went to three Passovers, but the Synoptic gospels (following Mark) imply only a one year mission for Jesus. I'm not sure how a lunar eclipse would have any significance to anything in the NT or why NASA would connect to the crucifixion. The Gospels claim a solar eclipse. Bart Ehrman torpedoes that "April 3, 33 CE" date here on his blog : When Jesus died, the entire cosmos was thrown into upheaval. The sun went dark, and the earth trembled. The Son of God fulfilled his destiny, an awful death at the hands of his enemies (for Matthew), the Jewish leaders. The world itself could not help but groan and grumble, as the rocks split apart, the sun went dark, the dead were raised, and the earth quaked. This is not a literal account that can help us date the death of Jesus; it is a symbolic statement in which Matthew is trying to convey his theology. Dating Jesus’ death on the basis of this kind of scientific datum is to misread and misinterpret the text. And that is the same thing as misusing and even abusing the text. More on reddit.com
