Investing in Space: Americans think spotting asteroids should be NASA’s top priority, Pew saysEvery year or so the nonprofit Pew Research Center conducts a survey about Americans’ views of the country’s involvement, priorities and performance in space. With about 10,000 people responding from across the U.S., the most recent survey done in early June gives the “space bubble” a look at how outside taxpayers perceive the often insular industry.
Enter outer space at your own risk?IMAGE

Enter outer space at your own risk?If you pay a company like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, or Boeing to go into space, perhaps even perform your own spacewalk, should those companies be bound by safety regulations issued by the FAA? Currently, the answer is “no,” thanks to a law that bans federal regulation of commercial space enterprises.

China launches twice in under two hours and conducts spacewalkA few busy days are behind the Chinese space program. Not only did three orbital launches occur from China, but also, the Shenzhou-14 crew performed an EVA outside of the Tiangong space station. Additionally, a newly shared photo of the Chinese ZQ-2 rocket shows a close race against the American Terran 1 and Starship vehicles to be the first methane-fueled rocket in orbit.

SpaceX teams refining countdown procedures for Starship testingIn recent weeks, SpaceX has not only moved back into Starship testing with Ship 24, but has also performed multiple engine tests with Booster 7 after the explosion below it during a failed spin prime test, and repairs after that in the mega bay. It is now time to look at parts of the countdown that have stayed the same, and the new things about the Starship and Super Heavy countdown operations compared to what was observed last November. These changes will be evident in the next stage of testing, which might begin as early as this week.

Space station astronauts check out Starliner crew capsuleAstronauts on the International Space Station floated into Boeing’s Starliner capsule Saturday, becoming the first people to enter the spacecraft in orbit less than a day after it docked at the orbiting research complex for the first time. The station astronauts will spend several days performing tests and unpacking cargo inside the Starliner spacecraft before it departs and returns to Earth on Wednesday.

EGS, Jacobs working to finish testing in time for Artemis 1 rollout in mid-FebruaryNASA’s Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) program and prime launch processing contractor Jacobs are performing final installations, functional checks, and buttoning up the Artemis 1 vehicle in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida before rolling it out to its seaside launch pad for the first time. Rollout to Launch Pad 39B will be no earlier than mid-February after an engine computer needed to be replaced at the end of the year.

Unfolding the universe: the commissioning process of the James Webb Space TelescopeThis December, an Ariane 5 rocket will launch from Kourou, French Guiana carrying the most complicated telescope ever developed — the joint NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. However, when the telescope launches, it will not immediately be ready for scientific observations. In fact, the telescope won’t perform any observations until about six months after launch.

Stennis, SLS core stage teams reflect on Green Run campaignThe first Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage is now being readied for the program’s first launch at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC), but the large rocket’s first stop on the way to liftoff was the once-in-a-generation Green Run verification campaign. The vehicle spent over a year in the B-2 position of the B Test Stand at NASA’s Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, where prime contractor Boeing performed an exhaustive checkout of their first build.

Virgin Galactic successfully makes first human spaceflight from New MexicoVirgin Galactic has successfully performed the first human spaceflight from Spaceport America, just south of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, today, using the VSS Unity SpaceShipTwo spacecraft. The WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft VMS Eve climbed to an altitude of 44,000 feet before releasing VSS Unity for a rocket-powered flight to space.
SLS continues post-hurricane cleanups and prepares for Core Stage Green Run valve repairIMAGE

SLS continues post-hurricane cleanups and prepares for Core Stage Green Run valve repairNASA and Boeing continued troubleshooting issues with the Space Launch System (SLS) Core Stage found during summer Green Run testing while cleanup from the mess created by Hurricane Zeta continued in the greater New Orleans area. The hurricane plowed through NASA facilities in the area on the evening of October 28, causing roof and siding damage at the Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF) in New Orleans East and knocking out power across a wide part of the metro region. Boeing is the prime contractor for the SLS Core Stage and is conducting the Green Run test campaign at the Stennis Space Center in nearby Southern Mississippi; NASA believes they have identified the cause of an intermittent fault with a liquid hydrogen (LH2) prevalve and are preparing to perform repairs. Stennis was also hit by Zeta, but saw less intense conditions than MAF as the storm weakened racing inland and the space agency is still hoping to complete the final Green Run tests by the end of the year.

Show HN: go-binsync – Go binary patches up to 67× smaller than bsdiffThis project is a little performance-optimization experiment focused on reducing the size of Go binary patches, which can be useful for quick incremental updates of live services.When a Go program grows by a few bytes through an incremental change, a bunch of related references and offsets throughout the compiled binary end up changing that makes general-purpose binary-diff encoders inefficient: `zstd --patch-from` produces a 530kb patch for a one-line change in a 30MB binary. bsdiff improves upon this (150KB patch) thanks to a delta compression algorithm that can handle relative offsets.go-binsync goes a step further for Go binaries by borrowing an idea from Courgette, the technique Google uses to ship Chrome updates: read the structure the compiler left behind, predict the expected results from that structure, and send only the correction. Courgette gets that structure by disassembling; go-binsync gets more detailed Go-specific structure from additional metadata embedded in every com

GLM-5.3-Flash at 3.3 tok/sA few months ago, I created the WARP engine (formerly WASTE) to run Kimi K3, the complete 2.78-trillion-parameter model, on macOS. GLM-5.3-Flash shares many architectural similarities with Kimi K3, so I added support for it as well. It requires as little as 5.14 GB of RAM to run, and on a 64 GB MacBook Pro M5 Pro it reaches about 3.32 tok/s, or 3.86 tok/s on longer runs.More memory means a larger expert cache, while higher storage and memory bandwidth can further improve performance.The project is completely open-source and free to use: https://github.com/sqliteai/warp

Ask HN: Are there any PiKVM equivalent iSCSI USB gadget projects?I know plenty of us have read about and then experimented ourselves an iSCSI backed "USB drive" along the lines of [0] making use of Linux USB gadget functionality. That allows using high performance network storage with devices that have no native network storage support, or really bad support, or no native high speed networking, or no native networking at all for that matter. All sorts of devices and OS reliably support simple USB mass storage though. And the capability reminds me a lot of the earlier roll-your-own IP KVM efforts. In that case though both companies and crowd funded efforts have since then run with the idea and produced some really polished and friendly off the shelf products, with a thorough round up by Jeff Geerling getting some attention on HN a few months ago [1, 2]. Those products are quite nice and have helped me sell it to clients who are leery of something that seems overly home cooked.iSCSI USB should be amenable to the same sort of polishing and refinement,
