Artemis IV is now the mission planned to put NASA astronauts back on the Moon, targeted for 2028. After the plan change, a lot has moved, so I made a new video with everything we know as of November 2026.

Inside: how Starship (refuelled in Earth orbit) and Blue Moon Mark 2 would each get the crew to the surface, how NASA will pick which lander goes first, the landing site debate, the two moonwalks, and the risks that worry me most.

I also went through the National Academies report on landing sites. And I explain why Artemis III in 2027 will decide so much of what comes after.

Which lander would you bet on to touch down first? Starship or Blue Moon? Tell me in the comments.

NASA's Artemis plan has changed again, and the October 23 press conference at Kennedy made it clearer than ever. 🌕

NASA still hasn't chosen whether Starship or Blue Moon will carry the first crew to the surface in 2028. Meanwhile, the two landers are taking very different routes to the Moon: one relies on refuelling in Earth orbit, the other on tugs and a meeting in lunar orbit.

In the new video I explain what changed, why NASA changed it, and what could still go wrong. 🚀

China has flown a secret reusable spaceplane four times since 2020, and it has never shown it.

On 26 October 2026 the US Defense Intelligence Agency published a sharp image, taken in 2024 by a commercial satellite. You can make out delta wings, payload bay doors, a dark heat shield and a service module with solar arrays.

In the new video I go through:
▪️ the four missions (2020, 2022, 2023, 2026) and how long each lasted
▪️ what the image shows, and how it compares with the X-37B
▪️ the released objects and proximity operations
▪️ the difference between an observed capability and a proven intent

What do we actually know, and what is still speculation?

🚨 New video: ESA's Hera is closing in on the Didymos asteroid system, and I spoke with its Project Scientist, Michael Küppers.

We talk about what Hera has to measure, why the CubeSats Milani and Juventas matter, and how it all feeds into planetary defence.

Watch the full interview 👇

Which CubeSat are you most curious about: Milani (minerals) or Juventas (radar inside an asteroid)?

You're used to high-precision manoeuvres. This one is a high-energy impact.

In September 2022, NASA's DART spacecraft hit the asteroid Dimorphos on purpose and shortened its orbit around Didymos by about 33 minutes. It was the first time humanity changed the motion of a celestial body.

But as an engineer, I'd say the 33 minutes is the outcome, not the answer. What decides whether this works on a real threat is how much extra push the ejected debris gave the asteroid. And that depends on a number nobody has measured directly: the mass of Dimorphos.

That's the job of ESA's Hera. It launched in October 2024 and reaches the Didymos system next month to measure the mass, the crater and the internal structure of the asteroid.

In my new video I explain:
→ what DART really proved (and what it didn't)
→ why Europe needs a second mission
→ what Hera will measure at Didymos

Coming next:
→ how solar radiation heats an asteroid and makes it spin
→ the two CubeSats Hera carries
→ a video interview with an ESA expert working on the mission

Which would you rather see first: the CubeSats or the interview?

A slow-motion collision, light-years in the making. 💥🌌

These two galaxies collided long ago — and the fallout is still playing out.

The galaxy on the right still hasn't escaped the gravitational pull of its neighbor on the left. That ongoing tug is likely what's bending its ring of stars into a "triangle" shape.

The left galaxy is pulling taffy-like strands of gas from its partner, igniting new stars that form a glowing bridge between the pair.

This image layers two views: NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope picked up bright X-ray binaries — black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs feeding on a companion star — scattered along the collision's shock wave, overlaid on Hubble's visible-light image.

Two galaxies, one dramatic transformation — captured across two completely different wavelengths of light.

Which galaxy do you think comes out of this looking stranger — the ghost or the funnel? 👇
