SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 148 * Another Delay for NASA's Artemis Moon Mission NASA has announced a delay in the launch of its Artemis 2 manned Moon mission, now rescheduled for April 2026. Originally planned for September 2025, the delay is due to concerns about the Orion spacecraft's heat shield. This postponement also affects the timeline for Artemis 3, which aims to return humans to the lunar surface. NASA's focus is on ensuring the safety and reliability of the spacecraft's reentry systems, with adjustments planned for the Artemis 2 mission trajectory. * Ancient Hot Water Activity on Mars Uncovered A groundbreaking study has provided the oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars, suggesting a potentially habitable past. Researchers analysed zircon grains from the Martian meteorite NWA 7034, known as Black Buddy, revealing elemental evidence of water-rich fluids from 4.45 billion years ago. This discovery enhances our understanding of Mars' hydrothermal systems and their role in the planet's early habitability. * Proba-3: Europe's Eclipse-Making Double Satellite The European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission has successfully entered orbit, marking a new era in solar observation. Launched aboard an Indian PSLV rocket, the twin satellites will perform precise formation flying to create artificial solar eclipses, allowing for detailed study of the Sun's corona. This innovative mission aims to fill observational gaps and advance our understanding of solar dynamics and Space weather. 00:00 Another delay for the first manned moon mission in half a century 00:48 NASA postpone launch of Artemis 2 Man Moon mission until April 2026 04:08 New study finds oldest direct evidence of ancient hot water activity on Mars 06:43 Black Beauty contains some of the oldest materials known from Mars 14:16 You found evidence of what would call hydrothermal activity on Mars 15:41 We wanted to focus on trace elements in zircon 22:52 Was it internal heat release from Mars or was it impact driven 28:42 European Space Agency's probe of three spacecraft has successfully achieved orbit insertion 32:29 House panel says lab leak likely caused COVID 19 pandemic 34:46 Scientists have documented the collapse of the Conga Glensa Ice Shelf 37:04 Between 68 and 94% of people believe sensation is caused by being watched www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com (https://www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com) www.bitesz.com (https://www.bitesz.com) 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn (https://www.bitesz.com/nordvpn) .
