In 2025, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is scheduled to once again bring man and machine to the lunar surface, this time under the name of the Greek goddess Artemis. However, the means to the ends have changed. The new Artemis missions lean more heavily on the aid of private space companies than their predecessor Apollo missions, with private enterprises developing the systems, stations, and vehicles to make the ten proposed Artemis missions a reality.

Russia was intensely attacking the eastern town of Avdiivka and the southern village of Robotyne, where fighting has centred in recent weeks, Ukraine said on November 27. Neither side has made significant breakthroughs on the battlefield for weeks, as Moscow's invasion drags on for a 22nd month. In recent weeks, Russia has focused its efforts on the industrial hub of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region, which now appears almost encircled by Moscow's forces.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Four U.Navy warships were recently dispatched to the Aleutian Islands following an incursion of 11 foreign military vessels in American waters. The exact time and location of the incursion was not made public, and information about the event is still being declassified. Speaking by phone on Saturday, Senator Dan Sullivan confirmed the event happened "within the last few days," and that while the military response was robust — four naval destroyers were dispatched to the ships' location — it was also uncommon.

"They see us, and we see them," said French Navy Lieutenant Dany, board commander of a nimble Falcon 50 surveillance plane flying over the vast Bay of Biscay. His mission? Making sure that a month-long commercial fishing ban imposed to protect dolphins is respected. The French government said last month it would ban most fishing in the area temporarily for the first time since World War II to safeguard stocks of the marine mammals.

A US space launch is a very high-security affair. Systems are locked down, many of the staff hold national security clearance, and the rocket and its payload are carefully protected. But when SpaceX launched its CRS-28 resupply mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in June, it did so carrying a special satellite that the US military was actively encouraging people to hack.

Argentine President Javier Milei has said that he will buy new submarines for the country, which has been left without operational capacity since the ARA San Juan tragedy in 2017 and will probably opt for French or German submarines. Despite this rearmament plan, Milei will unlikely attempt to capture the Falkland Islands from the British.
