My little SaaS made $239 in 7 days (Story)Hey HN,This is the post I’ve been waiting 5 months to write.I launched my very first real SaaS product last month, a Chrome extension called ScreenSmooth that automatically adds smart zoom-ins and buttery-smooth cursor animations to any screen recording.Why I built it:Every single time I needed to record a product demo, tutorial, onboarding video, or bug report, I got frustrated. Loom, Screenity, Kap, etc. were all missing the one thing that makes videos actually look professional: automatic, natural-looking zooms + smooth cursor movement. I was spending hours editing in CapCut after every recording. So I decided to fix it myself.The build journey (the real stuff):- I Started January 2025 as a complete beginner with Chrome extension APIs.- Learned canvas manipulation, WebRTC screen capture, mouse-path smoothing algorithms, and AI-based action detection from scratch.- Biggest technical challenge: making the auto-zoom feel human instead of robotic. I rewrote the easing + timing logic 4 d
Hostage to the Moon - How Artemis Became Industrial Welfare in a Space Suit - Part 2Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 NASA says it has finally found the "back to basics" recipe to get Americans back on the Moon by 2028. A new intermediate mission, standardized hardware, a faster launch cadence: on paper, the Artemis overhaul looks like a sober course correction after years of drift.
Course Correction or Controlled Crash? Inside NASA's Artemis Overhaul - Part 1Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 NASA says it has finally found the 'back to basics' recipe to get Americans back on the Moon by 2028. A new intermediate mission, standardized hardware, a faster launch cadence: on paper, the Artemis overhaul looks like a sober course correction after years of drift. Look a little closer, though, and the same changes read like a managed soft-landing for a program that is structurally broken and
Apollo Cosplay on a 21st-Century Clock - Why Artemis Keeps Slipping Toward 2029 - Part 3Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 09, 2026 NASA's latest reboot of the Artemis Moon program comes with familiar language: 'back to basics,' 'muscle memory,' 'step-by-step,' and an explicit nod to the Mercury-Gemini-Apollo playbook. The agency wants to fly more often, change hardware less, and build up capability incrementally, just like the 1960s. The problem is that Artemis is trying to cosplay Apollo in a world with very different politics, partners and rivals - and the gaps are showing.
NASA contract confirms selection of ULA’s Centaur 5 as new upper stage for the SLS rocketThe upper stage of United launch Alliance’s Vulcan rockets performed successfully across the first four flights of the rocket since 2024. The first launch of a Centaur 5 as part of a Space Launch System rocket would be on the Artemis 4 mission.

NASA’s DART Mission Changed Orbit of Asteroid Didymos Around SunNew research reveals that when NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft intentionally impacted the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn’t just change the motion of Dimorphos around its larger companion, Didymos; the crash also shifted the orbit of both asteroids around the Sun. Linked together by gravity, Didymos and Dimorphos orbit each […]
KAIROS Three for Three on Launch FailuresFollowing a failure on KAIROS' first two flights in early and late 2024, there was hope for a success on the rocket’s third launch attempt. However, roughly two minutes post launch, the rocket exploded leaving multiple fragments falling from the sky.

Unlocking AI in space: the case for greater industry and space agency collaborationFor decades, space has served as humanity’s most demanding testing laboratory, where only the most resilient technologies survive the vacuum, radiation and temperature extremes beyond Earth’s protective embrace. Today, we stand at an inflection point where artificial intelligence is poised to fundamentally transform how we explore, understand and operate in space. But making AI-powered space […] The post Unlocking AI in space: the case for greater industry and space agency collaboration appeared first on SpaceNews.
Jared Isaacman on rebuilding, Artemis and what he’s learned during his first months as NASA administratorWhen Jared Isaacman was sworn in as NASA administrator Dec. 18, he hit the ground running — or, perhaps more accurately, hit the air flying. At a town hall the next day, he said he would visit all the agency’s field centers, a task he completed by late January. In some cases he showed up […] The post Jared Isaacman on rebuilding, Artemis and what he’s learned during his first months as NASA administrator appeared first on SpaceNews.
Ancient impact may explain moons contrasting sidesTokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 05, 2026 For decades scientists have puzzled over why the moons two hemispheres look so different despite sharing a common origin in the early solar system. The near side that always faces Earth is dominated by dark flat volcanic plains called maria that create the familiar man in the moon pattern seen with the naked eye. In contrast the far side has a much thicker crust and appears as a rugged hea
Northrop Grumman Boosters Set For First Crewed Lunar Voyage Of Artemis EraLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 29, 2026 Two Northrop Grumman five segment solid rocket boosters are taking their place on the launch pad as NASA prepares for the first crewed flight of the Space Launch System rocket under the Artemis II mission from Pad 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, targeted for early February 2026. The twin solid rocket boosters stand 177 feet tall and each produces 3.6 million pounds of thrust at lif
Origami style lunar rover wheel expands to climb steep cavesTokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 05, 2026 A joint team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology KAIST and the Unmanned Exploration Laboratory UEL has developed a transformable airless wheel designed to help small rovers access steep lunar pits and lava tubes. The wheel targets subsurface sites considered promising for future human habitats because they shield against cosmic radiation and extreme temperature swings.
Networks ready to keep Artemis II crew connected around the MoonLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 30, 2026 NASA is preparing a pair of global communications networks to keep the four-person Artemis II crew connected with Earth as they travel from low Earth orbit to a loop around the Moon and back. The mission will fly astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket as part of the agency's broader effort to build a sustained human presence in deep space and eventually send crews

Blowing Stellar BubblesFor the first time, a young, Sun-like star has been caught red-handed blowing bubbles in the galaxy, by astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The bubble – called an “astrosphere” – completely surrounds the juvenile star in this image released on Feb. 23, 2026. Winds from the star’s surface are blowing up the bubble and […]
US-French Satellite Takes Stock of World’s River WaterRivers rise and fall throughout the year, but by how much? Perhaps less than previously thought, according to new data from the SWOT mission. Hidden riverbed contours are also emerging. In a first, a space mission led by NASA and France has tracked Earth’s rivers swelling and shrinking from month to month over the course […]
