NASA's proposed 47% budget cut for FY26 could lead to 5,000 layoffs and mission cancellations, including key Earth science projects. Jared Isaacman is out as a nominee for NASA leadership. Meanwhile, exciting advancements in space include potential Uranus missions, new insights into neutrinos, and Hubble's stunning Jovian auroras.

A 90-day #Mars 
transit is technically feasible using #chemical propulsion capabilities—specifically, the #SpaceX #Starship with anticipated orbital refueling and #aerocapture capabilities. This markedly shorter transit time, relative to the standard six to nine month Hohmann windows, has the potential to reduce #radiation 
exposure, minimize microgravity-related health risks, and lower the logistical burdens of prolonged #spaceflight https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-00565-7

I remember being in a telecon at the end of January where a former senior SpaceX executive said that they’d give it until March before Elmo & the Tangerine Tyrant split up acrimoniously.
Took a bit longer, but it’s all going pretty much as predicted now

In ein paar Stunden will man den Status des Landers kommunizieren und beendet den Livestream jetzt. Aha ... Unbefriedigend "sparsam", finde ich.
slightly annoying webcast imho ...
