SpaceX Rocket’s Moon Crash Exposes a Real Hazard Lunar Bases Can’t Ignore
A 4.5-ton SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage struck the moon near Einstein Crater on August 5, and experts warn the uncontrolled impact illustrates a growing, underappreciated hazard for future lunar settlements — one that will only worsen as mission traffic accelerates.
Gravitics Wins NASA Award and Lockheed Deal in One Week — Here’s Why It Matters
Marysville startup Gravitics landed a Lockheed Martin Department of Defense contract and a NASA research award within days of each other in August 2026, putting its expandable space habitat technology at the center of two defining questions in modern spaceflight: who builds the next station, and how do humans actually live there.
Spyro’s High Caves Held a Hidden Painting for 25 Years — Here’s How
