Mesa Redonda: Ciencia, Diseño y Ficción, 15 de febrero

The moon gets hit by space debris all the time, but some of it is so large that the impact generates light that can be seen thousands of kilometers away.

The crew of Artemis II will not descend to the moon, but their capsule will fly over the far side of its surface.

The secret to this acrobatic skill lies in an extremely flexible part of the spine that allows cats to twist in the air and land safely.

The moon is not just a barren rock orbiting the Earth. The Artemis missions could answer the great unknowns that the satellite holds.

Splashdown for the Artemis II crew is scheduled for Friday evening, and NASA will livestream the historic homecoming.

The Artemis II mission crew includes the first woman, the first Black person, and the first non-American astronaut to travel to the lunar environment.

The Gulf’s water system is built with layers of backup, but it relies on continuous operation to hold.

Entire space programs have been canceled after a failure in the reentry phase. In the final test for Artemis II, astronauts will travel at 32 times the speed of sound as they return from the moon.

First heard as US and Israeli strikes on Iran began, the shortwave broadcast has since been traced to a US military base in Germany—but its purpose and its operator remain unclear.

The first images from Artemis II reveal what the moon looks like just 7,000 km from the surface—and confirm that NASA is ready to return to Earth’s satellite.

As strikes continue on Iran’s nuclear facilities, the real danger isn’t the explosion, but what happens if critical safety systems fail—and how that risk could spread across the Gulf.

Experts say that an American ground operation targeting nuclear sites in Iran would be incredibly complicated, put troops’ lives at great risk—and might still fail.
