An agency-wide, internal email sent out to all NASA staff warns of major changes ahead. The space agency is expected to majorly change its direction under the Trump administration's control, severing itself from its science-based roots and doubling down on landing humans on Mars, as the president proclaimed during a speech in front of Congress in March. According to the administration's proposed budget for NASA's fiscal year 2026, the agency could soon go through drastic changes of devastating

Nearly two weeks have passed since Jared Isaacman received a fateful, brief phone call from two officials in President Trump's Office of Personnel Management. In those few seconds, the trajectory of his life over the next three and a half years changed dramatically. The president, the callers said, wanted to go in a different direction for NASA's administrator. At the time, Isaacman was within days of a final vote on the floor of the US Senate and assured of bipartisan support. He had run the g

Apple overhauls Vision Pro Personas feature, now with much higher-quality 3D avatars

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-09-17 18:56:51

As part of visionOS 26, Apple is overhauling the Personas feature for Apple Vision Pro users. Personas are the 3D avatars the system uses during FaceTime calls when the user is wearing the headset. When Vision Pro launched last year, Personas were widely criticized due to their uncanny valley appearance — and the whole feature was labelled as a ‘beta’ in the OS. Apple has been gradually improving the fidelity of the avatars with every release, and visionOS 26 takes the most dramatic step forwar

Musk’s Plan to Kill the ISS Early Is a Selfish, Shortsighted Move

gizmodo.com Adam Kovac 2025-06-04 15:05:34

The immediate future of the International Space Station is suddenly in doubt thanks to a single tweet. Elon Musk, owner of SpaceX and unelected advisor to President Donald Trump on basically everything, wants the venerable station gone, and he wants it gone sooner rather than later. On Thursday, Musk posted on his X platform that he believes it’s “time to begin preparations for deorbiting” the ISS. “It has served its purpose,” he declared. “There is very little incremental utility.

SpaceX CEO and unelected White House advisor Elon Musk unexpectedly said today that he wants the International Space Station destroyed "as soon as possible." In a tweet today, the mercurial entrepreneur asserted that it's "time to begin preparations for deorbiting the space station," arguing that "it has served its purpose," with "very little incremental utility."

It Kinda Sounds Like NASA Is Gutting Its Plans for a Moon Landing

NASA's plans to return to the Moon are seemingly on very thin ice. As Reuters reports, NASA has lost four key senior Artemis officials, further stoking concerns that the space agency may ditch its plans to return to the Moon altogether. Whether they'll ever be replaced remains as dubious as ever; both president Donald Trump and SpaceX-CEO-slash-unelected-White-House-hatchet-man Elon Musk have argued that going to Mars should take priority.

If Jared Isaacman becomes NASA’s administrator, as he’s likely to do, the agency will prioritize Mars over the Moon under the Trump administration, judging by some of his first public comments on the matter.
