NASA is set to send astronauts around the Moon again
NASA is moving into a new phase of space exploration, with major progress across human spaceflight, science missions, and advanced technology. In just one year, the agency has launched multiple crewed and science missions, test-flown new aircraft, and pushed forward plans for the Moon, Mars, and beyond. With Artemis II set to send astronauts around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years, NASA is laying the groundwork not just for a return to the lunar surface, but for a sustained human presence in deep space.

Ask HN: Do you "micro-manage" your agents?
I’ve recently started integrating AI coding agents into my daily workflow (specifically when using Cursor Composer, Devin, Claude Code), and I’ve noticed a strange pattern in my behavior.I treat the agent like the worst kind of micro-manager.When I work with a human junior developer, I try to provide the "why" and the high-level architecture, then give them autonomy to solve the problem. If I stood over their shoulder dictating every variable name, commenting on every logic branch befo
Show HN: Remote workers find your crew
Working from home? Are you a remote employee that "misses" going to the office?Well let's be clear on what you actually miss. No one misses that feeling of having to go and be there 8 hours. But many people miss friends. They miss being part of a crew. Going to lunch, hearing about other people's lives in person not over zoom.Join a co-working space you say? Yes. We have. It's like walking into a library and trying to talk to random people and getting nothing back. Zero
Show HN: I built a space travel calculator using Vanilla JavaScript
I built this because measuring my age in years felt boring—I wanted to see the kilometers.The first version only used Earth's orbital speed (~30km/s), but the number moved too slowly. To get the "existential dread" feeling, I switched to using the Milky Way's velocity relative to the CMB (~600km/s). The math takes some liberties (using scalar sum instead of vector) to make the speed feel "fast," but it gets the point across.Under the hood, it's a sing
