NASA Delays and Restructures Artemis Moon Landing Plans

NASA has revised its Artemis program, removing the planned lunar landing from Artemis 3 and pushing the next moon landing attempts to 2028 at the earliest. After Artemis 1’s uncrewed flight in 2022 and delays to the crewed Artemis 2 mission, Artemis 3—now targeted for mid-2027—will instead focus on testing docking with SpaceX’s Starship and/or Blue Origin’s Blue Moon lander in low Earth orbit and evaluating new spacesuits. NASA administrator Jared Isaacman cited long gaps between missions, high costs, and the need for more incremental objectives as reasons for the changes.

A virus embedded in gut bacteria may be linked to colorectal cancer

Researchers studying the common gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis found two previously unknown bacteriophages integrated into its genome that were much more frequent in people with colorectal cancer. In a larger analysis of stool data from 877 people, cancer patients were more than twice as likely to carry these prophages, though the finding is associative and no mechanism is known. The work suggests that strain-level genetics and viruses inside bacteria may matter for understanding risk and could eventually complement stool-based screening, but the study has important sampling and control-group limitations.

Unite calls Leonardo helicopter contract award a win for workers

Unite said the government’s decision to award the New Medium Helicopter contract to Leonardo’s Yeovil site is a major boost for UK aerospace workers, arguing it protects more than 10,000 skilled jobs across the company, its supply chain and the regional economy. General secretary Sharon Graham welcomed the decision but criticised delays and lack of transparency, and renewed demands for the Defence Investment Plan to be fully published and funded, with clear commitments on future combat air and space programmes. Unite is also pushing for additional UK-made defence procurement, including new Typhoon jets, continued domestic Skynet satellite production and more A400M transport aircraft.
