Dispatch audio was released, they said that they were blocking traffic with two cars, working on getting a car to get the crew off the bridge when the ship hits https://www.foxnews.com/video/6349808520112

There are stone barriers blocking the towers for the Veranzo narrows bridge in New York https://earth.google.com/web/@40.60439396,-74.05263203,-0.01732777a,228.49768441d,20.58168206y,154.92139924h,64.83115515t,-0r

There's this which claims to be a fusion augmented electric plasma thruster https://interestingengineering.com/space/nuclear-fusion-powered-electric-propulsion-drive

No, most of the forces from a bullet are shear or compressive, not tensile.

Here's a link, they got a signal but since it's lunar noon it's too hot to consistently operate so they told it to wait until it cools down https://www.iflscience.com/its-alive-japans-moon-lander-has-survived-its-first-lunar-night-73121

sounds like they got a return signal, maybe it isnt as bad as it looked

Sounds like they dont know where or if it landed, doesnt sound good

Mimas has a geologicaly young ocean beneath its surface https://phys.org/news/2024-02-mimas-tiny-moon-young-ocean.html

ITS ALIVE

seems like water on mars is more widespread than previously thought, with large amounts of water ice on the equator https://www.space.com/mars-water-ice-equator-frozen-ocean

Latest update shows a picture from the spacecraft, distortion to the MLI is visible

Huh, wonder if this will be the irl version of the mun lander that gets stuck as an orbiter due to using too much delta V

Looks like we missed this one, there was an all solid stage launch from jeju. Not many details available that I can find. https://asia.nikkei.com/Politics/Defense/South-Korea-test-fires-solid-fuel-rocket-and-puts-satellite-into-orbit
