Snow on the moon? Yes, though not recently... but maybe billions of years ago. Recent discoveries indicate that the early moon, orbiting just 20,000 miles above our planet at the time, may have shared a dynamic magnetic field with that of the Earth, resulting in the moon having an early atmosphere about twice as dense as the Martian atmosphere is today! This has wide implications for planetary science, but perhaps our favorite is that it may have snowed both carbon dioxide and water ice on the moon back in the day. We're also talking about the amazing launch and recovery of New Glenn, the plight of the Chinese taikonauts aboard the Tiangong space station, and a recent SpaceX memo about—no surprises here—a delay to their lunar landing program for Artemis III.

As you may or may not know, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center is in the administration's crosshairs. With cuts to their budget and staffing beginning under Elon Musk's DOGE, it has taken a different form with the government shutdown. Employees furloughed or retired from critical programs, laboratories shuttered, and entire facilities gutted--all without the approval of Congress. By the time the shutdown is over, NASA's primary research center--and the one most responsible for what many are now calling "the C-word," climate science--will be a shell of its former self. Josh Dinner, who recently completed a months-long investigative report, joins us. Also: Jared Isaacman is back in the running as NASA chief, the 25th anniversary of the ISS, and China now working with the US on orbital dangers. Headlines: Trump Renominates Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief, Sparking Political Drama 25 Years of Continuous Astronaut Presence on the International Space Station China Initiates Rare Satellite Collision Avoidance With NASA Apollo-Era Radio Telescope That Spied on Soviet Satellites Up for Sale Mars ESCAPADE Missions Twin Probes Prepare for Launch on New Glenn Rocket Main Topic: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Crisis Goddard Hit by Accelerated Building Closures and Funding Cuts NASA Employees and Lawmakers Accuse Agency Leadership of Breaking the Law Climate Science and Political Motives at the Core of Goddard's Struggles Union Power Stripped After NASA's Reclassification as National Security Agency High-Profile Missions Like Hubble, the Nancy Roman Space Telescope, and LISA Facing Uncertainty Loss of Talent and Institutional Knowledge Threatens Future Space Projects Congress and the Public Urged to Support, But Outlook Remains Grim Could New Leadership Reverse the Changes Brought to Goddard, or Reinforce Goddard's Decline?

We've heard that Microsoft will go off script this year with a 26H1 release of Windows 11 specifically aimed at Snapdragon X2-based PCs, as it did with the early release of 24H2 last year for the first-generation Snapdragon X. Also, Microsoft's latest earnings call left analysts baffled as execs dodged questions about multibillion-dollar AI losses and the real story behind OpenAI's ballooning deficit.26H1! Now confirmed by the release notes of a Windows Update And the Dev channel will soon switch over to 26H1 testing, with Beta moving to 25H2 (from 24H2) Expectations?
