  1. May 27, 2026, FAA Orders SpaceX to “conduct a mishap investigation” to Investigate and report on the Starship V3 booster failure that occurred during the May 22, 2026 Starship test flight #12.

    After separating from the upper stage of the rocket, the Super Heavy Booster failed to reignite and execute the boostback burn resulting in the booster tumbling back to earth and most likely exploding on impact.

    SpaceX will have to pause any further Starship test launches until the investigation is completed. techcrunch.com/2026/05/27/faa-

  7. NASA has revealed its plans for a permanent Moon base. Here's how it would work
    By Audrey Courty

    The US space agency has outlined plans for a sprawling lunar outpost involving rovers, hopping drones and resource-extraction technology as part of a renewed race to the Moon.

  8. 👹🔴 Researchers from #Hokkaido University and the #Okinawa Institute of #Science and #Technology analyzed five auroral events over #Japan from June 2024 to March 2025, combining satellite #data with #photos from citizen skywatchers.

    They found that red #auroras reached unusually high altitudes (500-800 km) during #storms previously classified as moderate, suggesting #solar activity may be stronger than standard measurements indicate. The findings have practical implications for #satellites in low #Earth orbit, because heated upper #atmosphere expands and creates extra drag on #spacecraft.

  14. Building Spaceships In Outer Space In Starfield

    File:Starfield – Ship customization 2.jpg

    In this dream I was in the video game Starfield.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfYEiTdsyas

    I was in space / outer space building, adjusting, and testing spaceships / ships / spacecraft.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5sxX-Qo8F4

    For myself and other people.

    Including some of my family like my parents and at least one of my brothers.

    I remember interacting with some of them during this.

    Asking them questions to better match the spaceship designs to their needs and wants.

    Basically I was continuing some of the shipbuilding that I was doing in Starfield before I went to sleep in real life.

    I guess people were impressed with my shipbuilding skills.

    So they had me to help them build their spaceships.

    That is all that I can remember of this dream.

    The end,

  34. The Cassini spacecraft was deliberately flown into Saturn in 2017 because its fuel was running low and engineers refused to risk it drifting into Enceladus, a moon with a subsurface ocean, and the final 22 orbits were designed to thread a 1,500-mile gap between Saturn and its innermost ring that no spacecraft had ever attempted.
