UK researchers are bravely heading to Venus to find... *drumroll*... bacteria in its clouds. Because when you can't find aliens on Mars, aim for its hotter, less hospitable cousin instead!

Due to Earth’s unfavorable position to observe Comet 3I/ATLAS at closest approach to the Sun are any agencies considering pointing any Mars-orbiting craft its way? Looks like they’ll be cozy neighbors briefly.
If you're so minded, you can take a listen to the interview I did with Valerie Sanderson on the BBC World Service about the new interstellar interloper, Comet 3I/ATLAS, & what it means for science & future missions like ESA's Comet Interceptor.
It starts at 13m18s into today's episode of The Newsroom:

BREAKING: AI discovers the CN Tower can be seen from space. Also learning that the moon is made of cheese and Canada is a flat disc balanced on a moose. #AIfacts #SpaceScience
As far as I'm concerned, science missions are the entire reason NASA exists. I'm not into exerting manned tubular priapal dominance over the other planets.
Call for Expression of Interest to become a member of the European Space Agency Science Advisory Structure:

Welcome to the neighbourhood, 3I/ATLAS, if only briefly
A new interstellar object has been found skimming through our solar system, only the third after 1I/'Oumumua & 2I/Borisov
This new object, detected by the ATLAS telescope in Chile, will make its closest approach to the Sun in late October, inside the orbit of Mars, & then barrel out again at more than 200,000 kmh

Nova V462 Lupi Now Visible
A rare celestial event is underway in the southern sky. Nova Lupi 2025 is a thermonuclear explosion on a white dwarf, discovered mid-June and now visible with binoculars. Even more rare: Nova Velorum 2025 is visible too, making two simultaneous novas!

Meet A11pl3Z: our solar system's third interstellar tourist, clocking 152,000 mph and up to 12 miles wide. It's like having a cosmic RV barrel through your neighborhood - impressive, slightly concerning, and definitely not staying for dinner.

I've just watched the trailer for the film of Andy "The Martian" Weir's book "Project Hail Mary", starring Ryan Gosling & due out next year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GPyA7VniTY
Take a careful look at 01:30 into the trailer, as Gosling's rocket launches.
Yep, that's an Ariane 5 dropping its umbilicals
First picture: screenshot from the trailer
Second picture: the 2023 Ariane 5 launch of ESA's JUICE
