Some absolutely remarkable engineering camera views of the Artemis II launch. The aerial photography from the range aircraft (11:00m) is stunning. 🔭

In 2025 I needed help on NASAWatch. I need your help again. Last night Artemis II headed to the Moon. Hours later the White House wanted to gut NASA's budget - again. Please consider a donation as we keep you informed: donate.stripe.com/14AfZi4ks79B... Thanks - Keith. #AdAstra #AdLunam

Is it time to question Trump’s mental health as we did Joe Biden? | The News Agents Donald Trump has appeared at his most ‘confused and contradictory’ at the press conference where he forgot his own slogans, made wildly false claims and was unable to decide if the Iran war was over.…

Donald Trump say his critics suffer from 'Trump derangement syndrome' - but after this week's events, is that call now coming from inside the house?

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Anybody who had a vision to bring American levels of political, cultural and social polarisation to Britain - whether their motive was clicks or cash, ideology, boredom or anything else - would make it their top strategic priority to abolish the BBC, or to damage and diminish it at the very least

What if dinner was public infrastructure? A Scottish charity wants to reintroduce state-subsidised diners for all—potentially a big ask in the current political climate.
