From the Moon, to Mars, and to deep space, @NASA is on the move! 🌌 Roman Telescope now targeting September launch 🧑‍🚀 Crew-13 announced 🌕 Artemis III core stage rolls out 🧪 Curiosity finds new signs of ancient chemistry on Mars Here’s the latest in your NASA Minute!

New long-form conversation! Simon Peyton Jones on Haskell, Verse, Strong Type Systems and Tasteful Abstractions aka "Immutability Changes Everything"

I have been using this for a while now and am extremely happy with the results. It is engineered to research, discuss, plan, break up, manage, execute, and verify sofware development tasks. It uses the right model for the right tasks and keeps the context clean. Well done!

This September, we're sending a new crew to the @Space_Station! Meet the four members of our SpaceX Crew-13 mission, who will help us learn how to live in space while making life better back on Earth: go.nasa.gov/4cvxYYR

Slick, the Future-based database library, will soon get a massive update with version 4! 🚀 It's ditching the Future-only constraint for a new Cats Effect 3 engine, bringing dedicated facades for Future, IO/fs2 and ZIO. All with the same query DSL. #scala github.com/slick/slick/pu…

Full-duration static fire for the first time on Starship V3

Are we writing fiction, or are we practising engineering? If you know my work, you know I generally prefer data and science over fiction. But @RealGeneKim's fantastic novel, The Unicorn Project, made me realise something... 🧵 1/9

All four of the Artemis II astronauts have been successfully extracted from the Orion spacecraft following splashdown and are now on the USS John P. Murtha. Next up, they will be escorted to the medical bay where they will undergo post-mission medical evaluations.

Want to learn some relatively advanced low-level tricks to optimise your ZIO programs? The idea: fewer runloop iterations, fewer ZIO data structures allocated, more time spent executing YOUR code Check this PR: github.com/EtaCassiopeia/…

So I've tried a radically different approach to rivers (spawn at coast, propagate inland & split), outlined by @redblobgames: redblobgames.com/x/1723-procedu… With some tweaking I'd say it looks incredible! #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

We’re Hosting the DM Mobile Engineering Meetup! Join us Thursday, April 9th from 12-1pm at Source Allies for a lunch & learn focused on building multi-platform apps with Kotlin. Lunch is provided. See you there! Please RSVP: shorturl.at/wVTZP

The @NASAArtemis crew captured this view of the Moon eclipsing the Sun yesterday. The three "stars" to the lower right of the Moon are actually planets. The middle one has a slightly red tint. That's Mars.

Sky full of stars. Following a successful lunar flyby, the Artemis II astronauts captured this breathtaking photo of our galaxy, the Milky Way, on April 7, 2026.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back. Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: nasa.gov/artemis-ii-mul…

Successful outbound trajectory burn! This means that the Orion spacecraft fired its thrusters to further fine-tune the astronauts' path to the Moon. Coverage of the lunar flyby tomorrow begins at 1pm ET (1700 UTC). youtube.com/live/m3kR2KK8T…
