NASA conducts vital tests ahead of slated Moon missionNew York (AFP) Feb 2, 2026 NASA on Monday was conducting critical final tests ahead of setting a launch date for its first crewed flyby mission to the Moon in more than half a century. At approximately 11:25 am EST (1625 GMT), the launch director of the Artemis 2 mission gave the green light to begin loading cryogenic liquid propellant into the giant rocket at the Cape Canaveral launch pad in Florida as part of the "w

The Perception War: How Artemis II Could Win the Race Without LandingNew York NY (SPX) Jan 31, 2026 As NASA counts down toward humanity's first crewed lunar mission in more than half a century, a question beyond engineering is taking shape: Can a flight that never touches the surface still define who "wins" the Second Moon Race? The answer lies not in propulsion equations or landing dynamics, but in the realm where space programs have always competed most fiercely-perception, prestige, and the stories nations tell about themselves.

Martian toxin found to toughen microbe built bricksSydney, Australia (SPX) Feb 02, 2026 Bacteria that thrive on Earth may not survive easily on Mars, where the soil contains toxic perchlorate salts at levels that can reach about 1 percent by weight. Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science have now shown how a brick building soil bacterium responds to this chemical and discovered that although the toxin slows growth and stresses the cells, it can also yield stronger biocement

Flat dark matter sheet solves local galaxy motion puzzleBerlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 03, 2026 Astronomers have used advanced computer simulations to show that the matter distribution just beyond the Local Group is organized in a vast, flattened structure of dark matter that extends tens of millions of light years. This large scale sheet surrounds the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy and is bordered above and below by enormous voids where galaxies are absent. For almost a century,

Show HN: ArtCraft AI crafting engine, written in RustI've been a photons-on-glass filmmaker for over ten years, and I've been developing ArtCraft for myself, my friends, and my colleagues.All of my film school friends have a lot of ambition, but the production pyramid doesn't allow individual talent to shine easily. 10,000 students go to film school, yet only a handful get to helm projects they want with full autonomy - and almost never at the blockbuster budget levels that would afford the creative vision they want. There's a lot of nepotism, too.AI is the personal computer moment for film.

NASA delays Moon mission over frigid weatherWashington, United States (AFP) Jan 30, 2026 NASA on Friday pushed back the earliest date that astronauts could fly to the Moon, due to forecasts of freezing temperatures at the Florida launch site. The earliest window for the moonshot will now be February 8, two days later than originally scheduled. NASA was preparing to conduct a key fueling test over the weekend of the 322-foot (98-meter) rocket that is on the Cape Canaveral lau

Quark wakes reveal early universe plasma flowed like a liquidLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 30, 2026 In its first instants, the universe formed a searing quark gluon plasma in which quarks and gluons moved at near light speed before cooling to build the protons and neutrons that dominate matter today. Physicists at CERNs Large Hadron Collider are recreating this primordial plasma by smashing together heavy ions at relativistic energies, briefly liberating quarks and gluons so they can pro
