Happy Earth Day
Above the planet, four people sailed serenely toward the Moon. Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy were all highly trained professional astronauts, of course. However, what they shared with the world was not the steely-eyed narrative of the “Right Stuff” that had dominated the earlier Apollo Moon missions. No, they spoke of love, unity, oneness, “Moon Joy,” and the experience of the Overview Effect®.

Muhammad Zeeshan Ali and Khurram Daud are undergoing training in China, with one of them set to make history as not only Pakistan’s first professional astronaut, but also as the first foreign visitor to the Tiangong Space Station.
Are Alien Signals Being “Smeared” By the Sun?

SETI Assumptions
If an alien were watching a signal from Earth from a perspective where the Earth was close to the sun, the smearing caused by local space weather would make the signal drop its power across a wider frequency range. Like a drop of ink blotting and fading across a paper as you run your finger through the color, the signal also faintens, making it harder to detect.

At the Heart of Artemis II is Rise, the Fluffy Astronaut
This little mascot, which is freely floating about along with the rest of the Artemis crew, is arguably one of the least essential components of NASA’s 10-day lunar slingshot. But it is easily the most endearing part of the entire endeavor, which in a way makes it just as important as anything else within the Orion spacecraft.

Artemis II Is Carrying A Revolutionary Organ Experiment
While out in deep space, the Artemis II astronauts are showered by intense radiation — not just from our Sun, but from the rest of the cosmos. While they won’t be put in lethal danger, it will have a deleterious effect on them. And although their health will be monitored during the mission, their bone marrow organ chips will provide a precise measure of how that radiation impacts a fundamental part of their biology.
