A *really really* helpful chart re: NASA/Minibus from my dear friend @JackKiraly at the @exploreplanets Planetary Society. Because the CJS Joint Explanatory Statement gives the House and Senate CJS reports equal standing (unless contradicted in the Conference Report), you really have to "combine" the Senate, House, and Conference CJS reports to understand what is funded and what is not for NASA Science in the Minibus. Here it is (and thank you buddy!)

"Taking the Moon's temperature with beeswax" by Andy Tomaswick, Universe Today phys.org/news/2025-11-moon-t… A group from MIT recently released a paper in #SpaceSciRev that describes the design and testing results of passive sensors sent to the Moon on the ill-fated Rashid-1 rover.

Taking the moon's temperature with beeswax

Sometimes space exploration doesn't go as planned. But even in failure, engineers can learn, adapt, and try again. One of the best ways to do that is to share the learning, and allow others to...
