NASA’s lunar surface infrastructure technologies will enable long-duration exploration and science missions for the Moon Base at the lunar South Pole with Artemis. Similar to when we build a new neighborhood here on Earth, we’ll need abundant power, water, landing pads and roads, and other foundational elements to support America’s long-term presence on the Moon. To support this, we are building technologies for generating and storing reliable power, extracting local resources that could be converted into drinkable water and oxygen, manufacturing and construction of landing pads and berms, and mitigation of abrasive lunar dust from critical systems. These technology advancements – tested on Earth, in simulated lunar gravity, and on the Moon – will enable long-term exploration and operations in the extreme environments of the lunar surface and pave the way for future human exploration of Mars.
NASA’s Electrodynamic Dust Shield (EDS) successfully demonstrated its ability to remove regolith from its various surfaces on the Moon during Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission 1 in 2025.

No V12 Required: Argentina's Mid-Engine Supercar Packs An American V8 Punch - CarBuzz
Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Argentina is a country known for its natural beauty, soccer legends, and chainsaw-wielding president, but it probably isn’t the first place you’d expect a rad V8 supercar to be developed. However, that assumption might change once you learn about a company called Valtor, the brainchild of engineer-turned-CEO Sergio Arias. He leads a small but ambitious team of designers and engineers like himself, who’d previously caught people’s attention with the Azor GT concept last year. Now they’re back at it once again with the Eaglon, an evolution of the Azor and something that could easily be mistaken for a Ferrari by those who don’t know their automotive lore.

Game developers cancel upcoming public demo out of fear of AI copycats - Mashable
There's currently some tension between the video game industry and the proliferation of AI tools. You can see the evidence of this in a recent development regarding the upcoming indie game Drunken Goddess Reflux. It's a game with the objective of imbibing alcohol until a demon vomits up her soul, a decidedly unique premise that would be hard for any AI to come up with. As spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun, though, the developers had to cancel an upcoming public demo session. The decision is partly due to concerns that AI could quickly clone it for someone else's financial benefit. Instead, they will hold closed sessions for a "limited number of participants. "

Slack Unveils Work Object Embeds for Seamless In-Thread Collaboration - Small Business Trends
