2027 is the planned manned moon landing.
Extende moon stays may require large, energized "shower rooms". For extravehicular personnel equipment. No demonstrations of dust-repellant clothes and tools have been done.
It will be a serious problem BEFORE it's fixed.

Powering a path to Mars with reactor test bed
Nuclear energy is a leading option to power space exploration, but its success depends on reactors that can operate autonomously rather than relying on human operators in space.

Could a unique rectangular telescope be the key to finding Earth 2.0?
"We show that this design can, in principle, find half of all existing Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars within 30 light-years in less than three years."

Solar powered moon brick factory could build future lunar cities
Chinese scientists have developed a remarkable machine that could revolutionize how humans build structures on the moon. The device works like a 3D printer powered by concentrated sunlight, turning lunar soil (known as regolith) into strong construction bricks without needing any materials from Earth.

NordSpace is 30 minutes away from attempting their first Sub-Orbital rocket launch. This would be the first commercial rocket launch from Canadian soil!

From fantasy to science, all in one stream! Join me as I explore Middle-earth in LOTRO while 3D printing the legendary Tiangong-1 Space Station. The only thing better than an epic quest is a real-life space build. #LOTRO #3DPrinting

Looks like we got the ignition but the engine did not light. Rockets are hard! Hopefully next time.

Had a magnetic mounting plate for a smoke detector that was glued to the ceiling and no longer in use after I got a new smoke detector.
And since it was annoying and ugly, and next to a moon lamp, there was only one thing I could realistically do, right?

Could we really turn Mars green?
Terraforming is the theoretical process of transforming a planet or moon to make it habitable for humans and other Earth-like life. The concept involves altering an alien world's atmosphere, temperature, and surface conditions to resemble Earth's environment, such as adding oxygen to the air, creating liquid water on the surface, and establishing a stable climate.

Finding organics on Mars means absolutely nothing for life
The red planet, Mars, may once have been teeming with life, just as Earth is today. Finding "organics" on Mars, however, doesn't mean life.

Crater Observing Bio-inspired Rolling Articulator (COBRA)
NASA aims to establish a sustainable human basecamp on the Moon as a stepping stone for future missions to Mars and beyond. The discovery of water ice on the Moon's craters located in permanently shadowed regions, which can provide drinking water, oxygen, and rocket fuel, is therefore of critical importance. However, current methods to access lunar ice deposits are limited. While rovers have been used to explore the lunar surface for decades, they face significant challenges in navigating harsh…
