NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman spent his weekend on national television arguing that $25.2 billion is enough money to get Americans back on the Moon, even as the budget proposal he was defending would slash the agency’s science portfolio by nearly 44% and put dozens of missions on the chopping block. The fiscal year 2027 budget […]

The Artemis 2 mission will swing around the moon April 6, setting a distance record as astronauts study part of the lunar farside.

In November 2026, Voyager 1 will become the first human-made object to reach one light-day from Earth. Nearly 49 years after launch, the twin Voyager missions remain the most productive space exploration program ever flown, and a case study in what happens when engineering resilience meets institutional patience.

Nanoscale analysis of a sample from asteroid Bennu has revealed evidence that water did not permeate the body uniformly during its formation but instead may have flowed through restricted channels, creating sharply defined chemical neighborhoods that preserved fragile organic compounds in some zones while transforming others into mineral-rich domains. Research findings suggest this rewrites assumptions […]

The Artemis II crew is about to fly farther from Earth than any human being has ever traveled, and the record they’re breaking belongs to a mission that nearly killed its astronauts. As the four-person crew aboard the Orion spacecraft approaches its lunar flyby, the mission is set to surpass Apollo 13’s distance mark from […]

NASA has stopped work on a second mobile launch platform intended for an upgraded version of the Space Launch System the agency no longer plans to develop.

A 28-day-old infant was reportedly bitten on the face by a rat while sleeping inside a displacement tent in Gaza City, an incident that captures the scale of a public health crisis spreading through camps where more than a million displaced Palestinians now shelter under canvas with almost no protection from vermin. The attack on […]
