Keith’s note: this editorial by Mike Bloomberg “NASA’s $100 Billion Moon Mission Is Going Nowhere“ certainly does not mince words. “A celestial irony is that none of this is necessary. A reusable SpaceX Starship will very likely be able to carry cargo and robots directly to the moon – no SLS, Orion, Gateway, Block 1B or ML-2 required – at a small fraction of the cost. Its successful landing of […] The post NASA’s New Journey To Nowhere appeared first on NASA Watch.| SLS and Orion Archives - NASA Watch
“The program has made progress, but the Artemis schedule poses challenges. Artemis II and III launches (planned for September 2025 and 2026, respectively): EGS is making progress refurbishing the Mobile Launcher 1 – the structure used to transport and launch key systems – and modifying elements to support crew during these missions. New capabilities are taking longer than planned, and the program has only limited time to address potential issues. […] The post GAO Report On Artemis Mis...| SLS and Orion Archives - NASA Watch
Keith’s note: According to a GAO report issued today: “Space Launch System: Cost Transparency Needed to Monitor Program Affordability“: “Because the original SLS version’s cost and schedule commitments, or baselines, were tied to the launch of Artemis I, ongoing production and other costs needed to sustain the program going forward are not monitored. Instead, NASA created a rolling 5-year estimate of production and operations costs to ensure that the costs […] The post Yet Another...| SLS and Orion Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: I was on Deutsche Welle TV today talking about Astrobiology Mars, Europa Clipper, JWST, international cooperation, space stations, and the year ahead in space. [Audio].

Keith’s note: The “skinny” FY 2026 White House budget proposal tells NASA to “reduce the space station’s crew size and onboard research”. In advance of an actual budget, NASA is already preparing to implement deep cuts. Soon. According to sources, NASA-funded ISS science will soon be hit with a 50% reduction. The JSC Flight Operations Directorate (FOD) and the MSFC Payload and Mission Operations Division (PMOD) are being asked to […] The post Large Space Station Cuts Are Planned...| Exploration Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: as we resume lunar exploration and then head out to Mars and beyond in search of life, we will need a different mix of skills in the humans that we send out on these long terms expeditions to distant, alien places.

Rumors of the purported Codename: Sailor V anime have been with the fandom practically since the day Sailor Moon first hit the airwaves. And who could blame fans for the confusion? After all, even the Sailor Moon manga was confused about what its own title was in the lead up to the series debut. Considering what a massive success the Sailor Moon franchise was proving to be -- not only on TV, but in movie theaters, on stage, and in the manga as well -- it seems like a spin-off series should ...| Tuxedo Unmasked

NASA supercomputers have helped several Mars landers survive the nerve-racking seven minutes of terror.
