Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket lifts off at Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station prior to its scheduled 1 a.m. January 16 launch on January 16, 2025 in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
In late 2025 and early 2026, one of the world’s most advanced scientific organizations, the European Space Agency (ESA), faced a string of cyberattacks that exposed severe weaknesses in its cybersecurity posture. Hackers stole hundreds of gigabytes of data. Among the data stolen were proprietary software, credentials, and mission documents. As a final act, the The post When Space Isn’t Safe: Inside the European Space Agency’s Massive Cyberattack appeared first on Kratikal Blogs.
Europe strengthens its independent access to space by choosing Avio and Isar Aerospace to subsidize private space missions.
As we prepare for missions beyond Earth orbit, one crucial challenge remains: keeping astronauts healthy in microgravity.
The European Space Agency has quietly added a major piece to its global space communications network with the inauguration of ...
I am responsible for a small team of software engineers, including an industry veteran of 30 years, a junior developer on their first job, plus a view mid-level to senior folks. We have been using AI tools like IDE-integrated Copilot suggestions or ChatGPT, and are working with the OpenAI API in our product for assistant experiences, but did not (as a team) use coding agents yet.I recently got introduced to Claude Code by a friend who quit their job to build a new product entirely on their own,
Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum.I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself.If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce
Imagine a cemetery with no bodies.Each headstone represents a line of descent that will not continue. Not a person who died, but a lineage that ends. The marker might list the earliest known ancestor and the last descendant, or simply note that the line terminates here. What is being memorialized is not a life, but a future that will never exist.The goal would not be judgment or blame. Lines end for countless reasons: chance, choice, illness, migration, history. This would be a quiet space for a
NASA completed its Antarctic balloon campaign using high-altitude balloons to study cosmic rays, anti-matter and high-energy particles, gathering critical data to complement satellites and advance astrophysics research globally.
The White House has resubmitted a nomination for NASA deputy administrator but is seeking a new nominee for the agency’s chief financial officer.

The James Webb Space Telescope snapped its sharpest image of the area around a black hole, solving a long-standing galactic ...
A nearby active galaxy called VV 340a offers a dramatic look at how a supermassive black hole can reshape its entire host. Astronomers observed a relatively weak but restless jet blasting outward from the galaxy’s core, wobbling like a spinning top as it plows through surrounding gas. Using a powerful mix of space- and ground-based telescopes, the team showed that this jet heats, ionizes, and flings gas out of the galaxy at a surprisingly high rate.
For the first time in 25 years of continuous crewed operations, an astronaut has been medically evacuated from the ...
