Rocket Report: European rocket reuse test delayed; NASA tweaks SLS for Artemis II

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-21 08:00:51

Welcome to Edition 8.11 of the Rocket Report! We have reached the time of year when it is possible the US government will shut down its operations at the end of this month, depending on congressional action. A shutdown would have significant implications for many NASA missions, but most notably a couple of dozen in the science directorate that the White House would like to shut down. At Ars, we will be watching this issue closely in the coming days. As for Artemis II, it seems to be far enough a

In my Home Lab network I use my desktop for most of my development. Since it’s a desktop and not a server it abides by the power policy setting I have selected. This works great unless I’m working a remote session from anything else such as my laptop, cell, etc. My usual workflow is just an ssh session with tmux, where I wake up the system by issuing a Wake on LAN (wol) from an always on server.

Here’s How to Deflect a Dangerous Asteroid Without It Totally Backfiring

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-27 03:30:14

In September 2022, NASA deliberately crashed a spacecraft into an asteroid, successfully altering the space rock’s trajectory. The orbital shove demonstrated an asteroid deflection technique that could come in handy if a massive rock were headed in Earth’s direction. As it turns out, however, deflecting a potentially threatening asteroid is only half the battle. Striking an asteroid for deflection purposes could send it back on a collision course with Earth, merely delaying the planet-shatterin

I'm not a quick witted person. In fact, I’ve always been worried about my brain’s slow processing time.
