#NASA has awarded Seattle-based #Interlune $6.9 million to develop a payload suite that can cook gases out of #moon dirt and look for traces of potentially valuable #hydrogen and #helium3. The project fits into Interlune's grand plan to sell lunar helium-3 for earthly applications. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/interlune-nasa-contract-extract-helium-3-hydrogen-moon/ #Space #Regolith

#Chickpeas can grow in #moon dirt and make seeds
Scientists had some success growing plants in actual lunar #regolith from Apollo missions. But plants took in toxic metals and grew slowly, showing signs of stress.
Researchers dusted chickpeas — chosen for their hardiness & high protein content — with powdered arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Fungi help plants’ taproots branch out and reach more soil while also sequestering heavy metals away from plant

I'm going to reiterate a point I made in someone else's thread - anyone who remembers windows 7 or 8 before they ended up on windows 10 has a far greater understanding that there is not only one UI design than someone who's only ever used Windows 10 / 11.
My mum is 75 and I just moved her onto Ubuntu. She is delighted. Her laptop is flying rather than taking forever to do anything, and she has her lace and cross stitch apps there under wine.
She excitedly tells her fellow rafters, stitches and lace makers. Of which she is a youngster.
I've been around since MSDOS 6.22.
The stumbling block for moving to Linux is largely the generation below me that didn't have the seismic shifts in UI, it makes coping with a new interface feel more of an imposition.For work I use #Ubuntu with the #regolith desktop. At home I have use #debian, #antix and have recently discovered #omarchy so #ISortOfUseArch

Solar wind erosion of lunar #regolith is suppressed by surface morphology and regolith properties: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-025-02546-0 -> Mond unter Beschuss: https://mediarelations.unibe.ch/medienmitteilungen/2025/medienmitteilungen_2025/mond_unter_beschuss/index_ger.html - die Wirkung geladener Sonnenwindteilchen auf den Mond wurde bisher massiv überschätzt.

J'ai passé la journée d'hier à réinstaller mon ordinateur principal.
Après quelques années sous @regolith (avec une base Ubuntu), je suis passé à Regolith sur Debian.
C'est quand même pas super simple. Du coup, j'ai écrit ce que j'ai fait :
https://blog.simonlefort.be/regolith-on-debian.html
Ce n'est pas aussi user-friendly qu'une installation classique de Debian, Ubuntu ou autre... Sans parler des configurations post-installation qui sont parfois compliquées... Mais ça semble tourner!

Regolith Desktop 2.0 is Out with Various Changes
A brand new version of the Regolith desktop is now available. Regolith desktop 2.0 aims to meet the needs of those who seek a fast and efficient desktop Linux experience controlled (primarily) from the keyboard. Regolith pairs the i3 tiling window manager with GNOME Flashback, and adds in an assortment of other open-source components to deliver a curated, keyboard-driven UX. And are some big changes since the Regolith 1.6 release from last summer. For one, devs have replaced the rofi “launcher” with a new “desktop executor designed specifically for Regolith” called ilia. This tool is, to be fair, pretty awesome and :sys_more_orange:
