The Present
The stars do not pause. The celestial record is being written right now — in the transits, the alignments and the signs most choose to ignore. This is what is unfolding.
THE PRESENT
What Artemis II Proved, and What It Didn't
The heat shield held, the crew splashed down safely, and NASA says Artemis III is on track for 2027. Two weeks on, the post-mission data is telling a more complicated story about a reentry trajectory that had to be redesigned, a valve that needs fixing, and a 2028 landing date that is doing a lot of optimistic work.
They're Home: What the Artemis II Splashdown Actually Looked Like
The heat shield held, the parachutes deployed, and four astronauts are home. Mission Control called it a perfect bullseye. What they did not mention is that getting there required flying hardware several engineers had formally objected to.
What Awaits the Artemis II Crew When They Come Home
The lunar flyby is done. The records are broken. Now four astronauts have to survive re-entry on a heat shield several engineers were still arguing about on the morning of launch, and hand their data to the people who will decide whether 2028 is still possible.
The Asteroids Nobody Can See: NASA's Warning That Should Be Headline News
In February, NASA's acting planetary defence officer told a scientific conference that 15,000 asteroids large enough to destroy a city remain undetected. We have no spacecraft ready to deflect one. She said it keeps her up at night.
The Eclipse Nobody on Earth Can See: Artemis II and the View from Beyond
Today, four astronauts will watch a solar eclipse that nobody on Earth can see. It will last nearly an hour. The sun will vanish behind the moon and the corona will blaze into view. Some moments belong entirely to the sky.
Artemis II: For the First Time in Fifty Years, We Are Going Back
Four astronauts are flying around the moon today. The first humans to travel beyond Earth orbit in more than fifty years. Whatever you think about space exploration, this is a moment worth paying attention to.
