Artemis II flies April 1 with four astronauts and zero landing plans. The nine regions NASA picked for the actual Moon return are the engineering answer to exactly the kind of terrain that just broke a $100M lander.

Mariana Minerals is building Texas first commercial facility to pull lithium from oilfield wastewater. The policy window just opened. The company has the capital, the target, and the right founder to matter.

Russian forces are bolting factory-fitted Starlink terminals into drone airframes and using LEO signals 1,000x stronger than GPS as an anti-jam navigation channel — essentially immune to electronic warfare. When SpaceX activated a kill switch eleven days after a possibly Starlink-equipped drone s...

The fix didn't work. Two Starlink satellites have now suffered the same class of internal failure within three months, both generating trackable debris at roughly 560 km above Earth.

Falcon 9 booster B1067 has now flown 34 times. Each flight costs SpaceX under $1M to amortize. Customers pay $67M. The reuse record is real — the discount never showed up on the invoice.

NOAA issued a G2 storm watch for the day before launch. AR 4405 then erupted again — five minutes after the first CME. The 80 percent favorable forecast is a ground-weather number.

These graphene tattoos do not just measure a leaf. They compute on it — at 23 attojoules per update, powered by ambient light. A single solar panel could run millions of them, deployed across a forest doing wildfire prediction from the inside.

Germany just cleared Rocket Lab for its $150M Mynaric takeover — but the real story is why a launch company spent fourteen months buying into optical terminal supply nobody else can replicate at scale.

2 independent methods. 2 different teams. They both landed on the same impossible answer: this comet is nearly as old as the universe.

If TeraFab works, it reshapes the AI compute supply chain entirely. If it doesn't, Tesla has burned billions on a moonshot that TSMC pulled off over decades.

Four astronauts will spend 10 days in a sealed capsule with the same air. If something goes wrong, there's no resupply, no rescue.
