Also from the #LPSC #NASA HQ Briefing: the science riding along on #ArtemisII - I think "verbal descriptions" of the Moon haven't been defined science objectives since the Apollo days.

In a few minutes on #NASA Headquarters Briefing at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference featuring Louise Prockter, Planetary Science Division Director and Brad Bailey, Assistant Deputy Associate Administrator for Exploration.

"NASA has released its data on rising temperatures. Why is climate change not mentioned at all?"

NASA sparks concern after report on rising temperatures omits climate
An expert says NASA’s statement is “consistent” with all of the other “anti-climate actions” the Trump administration has taken in the last year.

With the delay of the #ArtemisII WDR to Feb. 2 finally confirmed - #Crew12 pre-launch presser day: #NASA yet, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5-5By97H_8 promises to carry the first presser at 16:00 UTC - beware: shocking preview image - while https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLxcA8Crpkg will carry the second one with the crew at 18:00 UTC).

Cool space stuff for the geeks out there. #Voyager #NASA

Great News for #NASA in the House-Senate FY2026 Appropriations Report / NASA’s science budget won’t be a train wreck after all: https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/great-news-for-nasa-in-the-house-senate-fy2026-appropriations-report/ / https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/01/nasas-science-budget-wont-be-a-train-wreck-after-all/

Saw this #LEGO set at my local Target store. Hard not to buy it. #SpaceShuttle #NASA

From the #LPSC #NASA HQ Briefing: the four American robotic #Moon landings planned for this year - the Blue Origin HLS demonstrator for #Artemis should go first, as early as next month. (There is a little #VIPER looking at the latter because this homeless rover might fly on a second demonstrator - if they can figure out how to get it from the 8 meters high lander to the surface.)

And here are my very first results with these new #NASA #NISAR data.
I had to debug a few my NISAR data reader to correctly read the frequencyB layer.
Now it is working.
Here are both frequency A and B differential interferograms on Ethiopia showing the November 2025 volcanic erup…

Pretty sobering read. i am excited humanity is going back to the moon and proud that a Canadian astronaut is getting a chance!
Losing them would be a huge setback for the prestige and trust in the USA space program, but also a symptom of long standing problems.
I wonder if the Canadian Space Agency would reconsider whether it wanted to continue with NASA. It's clear there is a lot of concern even inside NASA about the culture.
