Some 50 passenger airliners were scheduled to be delivered to Chinese customers this year, 41 of which had already been built.

Rise of the 'twin'

For years, researchers have built AI-powered models to simulate virtual scenarios of the planet. The concept, known as Earth’s “digital twin,” leverages a wealth of real-time data gleaned from satellites, drones and other means, to encompass everything from security issues and climate dynamics to the very systems that drive global supply chains. Reams of data are then captured, processed and parsed to identify subtle, real-time shifts, all in the name of optimizing decisions through simulation.
NASA nominee calls for dual moon-Mars focus, though questions remain

The man President Donald Trump tapped as NASA’s next administrator said Wednesday that “we don’t have to make a binary decision” when it comes to U.S. aspirations to land astronauts on both the moon and Mars. “I don’t think we need to make any tough trades,” Jared Isaacman told members of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, suggesting that NASA could pursue both destinations.
What's driving China’s commercial launch industry

2 months ago | spacenews.com | David Ariosto

Parts of China’s space strategy might not seem directly tied to defense: plans for a joint Chinese-Russian lunar facility, a permanently-crewed space station or a burgeoning quasi-commercial launch sector. It’s the latter that China uses to bridge innovation gaps in low-cost rocketry and satellite constellation deployment. Last year, I met Yao Song. His company, Orienspace, was not yet four years old.
Capitalisti su Marte

Feb 13, 2025 | internazionale.it | David Ariosto

Nel 1606 un gruppo di commercianti, nobili e avventurieri inglesi decise di procurarsi tre navi transatlantiche per andare in cerca di ricchezze nel “nuovo mondo”. Le potenze rivali dell’Inghilterra – Francia, Spagna e Portogallo – avevano già raccolto enormi fortune in tutta l’America Latina, e re Giacomo I era deciso a recuperare il terreno perduto. La corona, però, non voleva rischiare di investire denaro pubblico.
The remote seeds of exploration

Jan 31, 2025 | spacenews.com | David Ariosto

There may be something about Earth’s remote places that root many of humanity’s greatest achievements in space. John Glenn (the first American to orbit the Earth) and Neil Armstrong (the first man on the Moon) both hailed from rural Ohio towns. Yuri Gagarin (the first man in space) grew up in a small Russian village. Perhaps, however, the apparent nexus between Earth’s isolated locales and those final frontiers is derived from more practical reasons.
U.S. Space Industry Pivots Toward Mars

Jan 21, 2025 | noemamag.com | David Ariosto

Credits David Ariosto is the author of the upcoming Alfred A. Knopf book, “Open Space,” and co-host of the SpaceMinds podcast on SpaceNews. In 1606, a group of English merchants, nobles and adventurers decided they needed three transatlantic ships to pursue riches in the “New World.” Rivals Spain, France and Portugal had already amassed immense wealth across Latin America, and England’s King James I was looking to catch up. The crown, however, was also wary of risking public money.
Moon Mission Could Redefine Computing in Deep Space

Mar 4, 2024 | eetimes.com | David Ariosto

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> When the world’s first commercial lunar lander made its historic touchdown near the moon’s south pole last week, the promise of another groundbreaking venture was also in the works. Stored within a software application loaded onto the craft’s on-board computer were the makings of a lunar data center, along with the hopes of redefining deep-space computing.
