Since its historic April 1 launch from Kennedy Space Center, NASA‘s Artemis II mission around the moon has delivered a stream of extraordinary moments, from Earth fading into the distance to a rare solar eclipse seen from deep space. After the crew returned safely to Earth on Friday (April 10), we’ve collected the most remarkable…
The 2020s has seen a revival of the “Apollo spirit”. The US and China are seemingly in a race to send humans to the moon by the end of the decade – and thereafter, perhaps, even to Mars. Nasa astronauts have just returned from a 10-day journey looping around the moon. Although they arrived back…
Scientists have identified more than 3,000 species of bacteria living in the human gut. We know they play a role in digestion and immune function. But can they also influence the kinds of food we crave? In a 2014 study in the journal BioEssays, researchers proposed that gut microbes might manipulate the eating behavior of…
The Artemis II, and the four astronauts aboard the Orion space capsule, splashed down into the Pacific Ocean off the coast of San Diego on Friday night, with all four astronauts in good health. Commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, and mission specialist Christina Koch of Nasa, and the Canadian Space Agency’s Jeremy Hansen, have…
The astronauts – Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialist Christina Koch and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen – were carefully extracted from the capsule and taken by helicopter to the USS John P Murtha, where they will undergo medical evaluations. Source: Read Full Article
Re-entering Earth’s atmosphere is always a dangerous and risky part of human spaceflight, because a capsule plunging through the atmosphere can be exposed to temperatures of around 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. But the stakes were especially high for the Artemis II mission because the Orion heat shield had a known flaw in its design. During the…
A study of HR professionals shows inclusion-focused AI can reduce disability discrimination and improve fairness in real-world recruitment scenarios. Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how organizations hire. From screening resumes to shortlisting candidates, AI is often promoted as a tool that can remove human bias and make recruitment more objective. Source: Read Full Article
The astronauts of the Artemis II mission have made it home. Their journey, which began in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on 1 April, took them around the moon and further from Earth than any human has travelled before. On 10 April, they splashed down in their capsule off the coast of California. On landing, mission…
Slamming into the atmosphere at more than 30 times the speed of sound, NASA’s Orion spacecraft blazed a trail over the Pacific Ocean on Friday, returning home with four astronauts and safely capping humanity’s first voyage to the Moon in nearly 54 years. Temperatures outside the capsule built up to some 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit as…
The Artemis II mission ended in a dramatic fashion on April 10, 2026, when NASA‘s Orion spacecraft splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of San Diego, closing out humanity’s first crewed journey to the moon in over 50 years. The four-person crew — consisting of commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover,…
