In anticipation of Tauren Wells coming to town in a couple of weeks for his Joy Bomb: The Book Tour we reshared a conversation we had with him about the book. And as we anticipate that, Dave is anticipating the Artemis II mission to the moon. And Dave's fandom of all things space clued Carmen in to a recent crossword puzzle clue. And as we had that discussion we were clued in to the fact that we once again missed our anniversary as a show.  Bill needs new dress shoes and he used that to...

L'elaborazione del linguaggio naturale umano da parte delle macchine è stata per decenni un'enorme sfida per gli sviluppatori. Assistenti come Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri o Cortana hanno rappresentato i primi tentativi di sviluppare sistemi in grado di riconoscere la voce e interpretare i comandi, ma con risultati spesso deludenti. La situazione è cambiata drasticamente con l'avvento dei Large Language Model, che oggi riescono a comprendere facilmente le intenzioni dell'utente, interpretarle e rispondere di conseguenza. In questa puntata analizziamo come i modelli linguistici comprendono la nostra voce e quali sono le tecnologie che migliorano questa comprensione, esplorando alcuni esempi di prodotti tra cui il nuovo Insta360 WAVE.Nella sezione delle notizie parliamo del possibile addio ai cookie banner, dell'annuncio della NASA sulla data per la missione Artemis II e infine della battaglia legale di Apple contro il Digital Markets Act europeo.--Indice--00:00 - Introduzione01:05 - Verso la fine dei cookie banner?

On The Space Show for Wednesday, 24 September 2025:Artemis II crewed lunar orbital mission confirmed by NASA is set for 2026The announcement that while the target launch date for Artemis II remains April 2026, NASA will attempt to bring that forward to February 2026, without compromising crew safety or mission success.Four astronauts (Reid Wiseman, Commander; Victor Glover, Pilot; and Mission Specialists, Christina Koch & Jeremy Hansen) will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA's path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through the Artemis program. The 10-day flight will help confirm systems and hardware needed for early human lunar exploration missions. The mission builds on the success of the uncrewed Artemis I mission in 2022, and will demonstrate a broad range of capabilities needed on deep space missions. The Artemis II test flight will be NASA's first mission with crew atop the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and inside the Orion spacecraft.

On Thursday's show: Following months-long spats about how to bridge a $200 million gap in the county's budget, the Harris County Commissioners Court has approved a $2.8 billion budget for the 2026 fiscal year. We learn some details. And we get an update on striking hotel workers in Houston.Also this hour: A gunman opened fire at an ICE detention facility in Dallas, killing one detainee and critically wounding two others. No ICE officers were injured. This raises troubling questions about safety for both immigration and customs enforcement officers and for immigrants themselves. We discuss the atmosphere around immigration policy, public discourse, and violence here in Houston.Then, earlier this week, NASA announced that Artemis II could launch as early as February on its mission sending four astronauts to orbit the moon, which would be the first time the United States has returned to the moon since 1972. We revisit a conversation about why returning there is of value for future deep-space exploration with the late Dr. Paul Spudis, author of the book, The Value of the Moon.And Houston writer Jamie Jo Hoang talks about the children of refugees from the Vietnam War navigating their parents' stories to heal intergenerational trauma. She addressed that topic in her novel My Father the Panda Killer and approaches it from another angle in her latest, My Mother the Mermaid Chaser. She holds a book launch event on Sept. 27 at Blue Willow Bookshop.Watch

Reid Wiseman, die bevelvoerder van Artemis II, Nasa se volgende sending na die maan, sê dat hy en sy bemanning dinge sal sien wat geen mens nog ooit gesien het nie. Wiseman het op 'n nuuskonferensie in die Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, gesê dat sy ruimtetuig waarskynlik oor groot dele van die maan sal vlieg wat vorige Apollo-sendings nog nooit gekarteer het nie. Nasa sê dit hoop dat dit in Februarie 2026 die eerste bemande sending na die maan in 50 jaar sal kan loods. Die ander bemanningslede is die vlieënier Victor J. Glover en sendingspesialiste Christina Koch en Jeremy Hansen.

¿Por qué Ryanair dejará de operar en cuatro aeropuertos españoles (y los que anunciará próximamente)? Jordi Fábrega, jefe de Economía de la SER, nos explica esta polémica decisión de la aerolínea irlandesa. En mayo, nació el primer pollo de Pigargo Europeo, el águila más grande de Europa, desde el siglo XIX. Nos lo cuenta Lorena Juste, bióloga de GREFA, el Grupo de Rehabilitación de la Fauna Autóctona y su Hábitat, que se ha hecho cargo de este proyecto de reintroducción que comenzó en 2021. La NASA anuncia su plan de adelantar el primer vuelo tripulado alrededor de la Luna en más de 50 años. La misión Artemis II, que estaba planeada para el mes de abril de 2026, finalmente podría despegar en febrero. Esta noticia nos la cuenta nuestro compañero Javier Ruiz.

In just a few months time, four NASA astronauts will embark on the first crewed lunar mission since 1972. Artemis II is scheduled to take off in February next year for a ten-day trip around the moon ahead of a crewed mission to the lunar surface in 2027. It comes amid what’s been dubbed “the second space race,” as the U.S. and China push to get back to the moon first. Today, we’ll explain everything you need to know about the Artemis mission, why NASA wants to go to the moon, and why it’s taken them so long to get back there. Want to support The Daily Aus?

NASA Artemis II launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson shares her path to the console and what it takes to launch the first crewed Artemis mission to the Moon. HWHAP 401. 

Los retos del programa Artemis hacen que Estados Unidos dude de llegar a la Luna antes que China.  La carrera espacial se enciende: el exadministrador de la NASA Jim Bridenstine advirtió que Estados Unidos puede no llegar antes que China a la Luna.   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  En una audiencia en el Senado de Estados Unidos, Jim Bridenstine, quien fue jefe de la NASA entre 2018 y 2021, advirtió que el país puede perder la carrera lunar frente a China. El programa Artemis enfrenta problemas técnicos como el reabastecimiento de combustible en órbita, el costo del cohete SLS y la falta de un módulo lunar listo. Mientras tanto, China avanza con rapidez y planea llevar astronautas a la superficie de la Luna antes de 2030. Esta discusión refleja tensiones políticas y tecnológicas en un momento en que se debate si la democracia puede sostener el ritmo de una carrera espacial tan exigente. ¿Logrará Estados Unidos llegar antes que China?  Quizás quieras oír aquí el episodio "Artemis I" de El Siglo 21es Hoy.El tiempo y la tecnología corren en contra de Artemis  Bridenstine habló sin rodeos: la arquitectura de Artemis es “extraordinariamente compleja”. Explicó que para alunizar con el cohete Starship de SpaceX se necesitarán más de una docena de lanzamientos en poco tiempo. ¿Por qué tantos? Porque hay que llenar de combustible un vehículo enorme en órbita, algo nunca probado con líquidos criogénicos en el espacio. Para que se entienda: es como intentar llenar de gasolina un avión en pleno vuelo, pero a temperaturas cercanas a los -250 °C. Y mientras esto se resuelve, China avanza con una estrategia más directa, con cohetes pesados que reducen la necesidad de operaciones tan arriesgadas.  La preocupación es doble: técnica y política. Bridenstine advirtió que Starship aún no es seguro para humanos y que Blue Origin tampoco tiene listo su módulo Blue Moon Mk2. Además, el cohete SLS es tan costoso que no puede sostenerse a largo plazo. A esto se suman tensiones internas: recortes presupuestales propuestos por el presidente Donald Trump, la salida de miles de empleados de la NASA y la crítica de que el plan fue decidido en un vacío de liderazgo, entre su salida y la llegada de Bill Nelson como nuevo administrador. Mientras tanto, China prueba nuevos módulos y habla incluso de instalar una planta nuclear en la superficie lunar. ¿Se puede perder esta segunda carrera espacial?  No todos comparten la visión pesimista. Sean Duffy, administrador interino de la NASA y también secretario de Transporte, declaró que Estados Unidos sí va a ganar esta carrera. Dijo que la meta es regresar astronautas a la Luna antes de que termine el mandato actual de Trump y que el programa Artemis seguirá, aunque con menos dinero. Además, Jared Isaacman, empresario y astronauta privado, defendió el valor de la complejidad: si Artemis logra demostrar el reabastecimiento en órbita, abrirá la puerta a viajes más ambiciosos, incluso a Marte. En otras palabras: los obstáculos pueden ser la inversión necesaria para un futuro más grande.  La carrera espacial de los años 60 enfrentó a Estados Unidos con la Unión Soviética. Hoy, el rival es China, un país con una economía diez veces mayor que la de Rusia en su momento. China ya puso rovers en la cara oculta de la Luna y tiene planes de alunizaje tripulado para 2030. Mientras tanto, Estados Unidos no pisa la superficie lunar desde 1972 con la misión Apollo 17. El programa Artemis I voló sin tripulación en 2022, y Artemis II —con astronautas— aún espera su lanzamiento. La diferencia es clara: mientras Estados Unidos busca un sistema complejo y sostenible, China persigue una meta concreta y política. Y en la historia, llegar primero siempre ha tenido un valor simbólico muy fuerte.  La carrera lunar entre Estados Unidos y China enfrenta problemas técnicos, políticos y estratégicos. La pregunta es si el reto de Artemis dará frutos o si China aprovechará la demora. Sigue cada detalle en el pódcast Flash Diario.  EE. UU. duda de llegar a la Luna antes que China. Artemis es complejo y caro. China planea alunizar en 2030.

Since 2022, there have been a large number of deaths of this fish along the west coast of North America and it's concerning when a species that's been around for hundreds of million years suddenly starts dying off. She and her colleagues are trying to figure out what's happening and how to conserve this important and spectacular fish.Installing Dark Matter detectors two kilometeres undergroundDr. Madeleine Zurowski of the University of Toronto has been underground most of this past summer at  SNOLAB, located in Sudbury, Ontario. She's been helping install specially designed dark matter detectors in a project called SuperCDMS, as part of an international collaboration that is researching the nature of dark matter. Managing Canada's worst invasive plant with mothsAs Director of the Waterloo Wetland Laboratory, Dr. Rebecca Rooney has been investigating how to stop the spread of a plant called invasive Phragmites, which chokes wetlands, ditches and many other environments. Her group has introduced  European moths which eat the plant. This summer PhD student Claire Schon and lab technician Ryan Graham went into the field to collect some more data on their project.Helicoptering in 35 tonnes of material in an attempt to restore a Sudbury peatland  Scientists are working to restore a degraded peatland damaged by contamination from mining activity in Sudbury. Colin McCarter, the project lead from Nipissing University, described how they're trying to figure out how to best restore these toxic metal-contaminated landscapes to restore their natural capacity as wildfire-buffering, carbon-storing powerhoues.  Transatlantic balloon flight from Sweden to NunavutDr Kaley Walker is an atmospheric physicist from the University of Toronto. Working with the Canadian Space Agency, this summer she was in Sweden to send a massive balloon — 30 stories tall and 800,000 cubic meters in volume — on a high-altitude transatlantic flight to Nunavut, to measure stratospheric gases.The accidental discovery of an ancient Roman monument's missing limbDr. Sarah Murray  is the co-director of an archeological project on the history of Porto Rafti, Greece. While surveying for Bronze Age relics, her team discovered an enormous missing limb from a famous Roman marble statue in the area, a monument popular with tourists for centuries. This summer, they returned with drones to make 3D models of the statue, to understand how the arm was attached to the statue's now limbless torso.Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen gets lunar geology training in IcelandAstronauts assigned to NASA's Artemis II mission, who'll be heading to the moon as early as September 2025, embarked on their own field research this summer in Iceland to train as lunar geologists. CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen documented his adventure and filled us in on why this training is crucial for their upcoming mission.Building wildfire resistant housingAfter wildfires devastated Lytton, BC in 2021, the  government announced that they were going to support homeowners to rebuild homes that would be resistant to wildfire. Senior Engineer Lucas Coletta of Natural Resources Canada, was part of the team that tested various fire resilient materials and construction methods this past spring and summer.

With this week's delays to Artemis II and III, astronauts likely won't walk on the moon until 2026 at the earliest. Also, weight-loss drugs, AI, clean-energy tech and more: digging into MIT Technology Review's annual list with executive editor Amy Nordrum.NASA Once Again Delays Artemis Crewed Missions To the MoonThis week, NASA announced that it was delaying two of its planned crewed missions to the moon. Artemis II, which was scheduled to launch in November 2024, was pushed to September 2025. And Artemis III, originally planned for late 2025, is now looking at a September 2026 launch date. The Artemis campaign has faced challenges with its lunar landers, spacesuits, life-support systems, and the Orion capsule's heat shield, according to NASA. When launched, Artemis II will swing around the moon and return to Earth, while Artemis III will land on the south pole of the moon, and will mark the first time humans have walked on the moon since 1972.Joining Ira to talk about this and other top science stories in the news this week is Casey Crownhart, climate reporter at MIT Technology Review. They talk about challenges facing the offshore wind industry, a Hawai‘i coal plant that was replaced by a battery farm, why AI weather forecasting is not ready for primetime, and a new discovery that giant apes went extinct earlier than we thought—and for a different reason.Top Technologies To Watch In 2024The technology world moves so fast, it can be hard to know what to pay attention to. Sometimes it's helpful for someone to tell you straight up who the big players are, and what technologies really could change the world.Luckily for us, MIT Technology Review compiles an annual list of the 10 breakthrough technologies they say matter most. This year, that list ranges from super-efficient solar panels to weight-loss drugs, and AI in just about everything.Joining guest host Kathleen Davis to discuss this year's list is Amy Nordrum, executive editor at MIT Technology Review based in Boston, Massachusetts.Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.
