Mars scientists have detailed, deliberate plans for what missions can give them the data they most want about the Red Planet. SkyFall's trio of helicopters (relying on the first-ever nuclear-propulsion spacecraft and mid-air deployment, all with a 2028 launch date!) is...not among them. 🧪 🔭

The Destiel meme from the tv show Supernatural of Cas and Dean.

Panel 1: Castiel, teary eyed, smiling and saying, "I love you"

Panel 2: Dean, stoic, but with tears in his eyes. I've added the cover for CASTIEL #1 and the text, "Today is the final order cutoff for Castiel #1"

The cover for Supernatural Special: CASTIEL written by me with art by Pasquale Qualano. It shows Sam and Dean standing on either side of the angel Castiel, in his trench coat and suit, with giant dark angel wings sprouting out of his back. There's a comically large halo over his head.

This rather creepy photo is Artemis II’s heat shield underwater, as taken by the U.S. Navy. This is the first photo we have of the heat shield, and upon initial examination it doesn’t seem to have the char loss that Artemis I’s had.

Long-wavelength radio astronomy is some of the only science that would get a major benefit from being on the lunar far side. The Moon blocks radio noise from the Earth & presents the possibility of ground-based astronomy with no atmospheric interference. (Of course there are many other challenges!)
