2026 promises to be the most exciting year in the new space age yet! Shining bright is the prospect of an Artemis II launch to send astronauts around the moon for the first time since 1972, as early as February. We've already seen news about a medical incident on the International Space Station that will force a crew to return to Earth early, but NASA says this won't affect the Artemis launch. On other news, NASA's budget seems on track to be passed at near 2025 levels, China is preparing to send a robot to the south lunar pole, SpaceX plans robust tests of Starship this year—and hopefully refinement of their lander for Artemis III, Boeing will fly Starliner again (uncrewed), Mars Sample Return is poised to be scuttled, and all this under the leadership of a new—and apparently quite capable—NASA administrator, Jared Isaacman. Join us for an in-depth look at what's coming in 2026!
Headlines:
Medical evacuation planned for ISS astronauts due to health concerns
NASA Chief Jared Isaacman leads first big press conference amid ISS medical incident
Artemis 2 lunar mission remains on track for February launch

Oh yeah, AI tools are saving a lot of time these days, especially for mundane tasks like watermark removal. I used a remover https://www.gstory.ai/video-watermark-remover to clean my old YouTube intro that had outdated branding. The final video looked clean, and I didn’t have to re-render the entire project from scratch. Definitely saved me hours.
Why are comments turned OFF in their YouTube pod casts? How can otherwise bright people sew their biased activism against this country while blocking others from responding?
Bing me up please
