"If God wanted man to become a spacefaring species, He would have given man a moon." The famed rocket scientist Krafft Ehricke uttered those words in 1984. He wanted to highlight how we could use the moon as a springboard to expand human civilization into the rest of the solar system.
"We're going back to the moon for scientific discovery, economic benefits, and inspiration for a new generation of explorers," NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine said September 21 as the agency published its latest plans for the Artemis program. "As we build up a sustainable presence, we're also building momentum toward those first human steps on the Red Planet."

Mars drops Uncle Ben's, reveals new name for rice brand - ABC News
Parent firm Mars Inc. unveiled the change Wednesday for the 70-year-old brand, the latest company to drop a logo criticized as a racial stereotype. Packaging with the new name will hit stores next year.
"We listened to our associates and our customers and the time is right to make meaningful changes across society," said Fiona Dawson, global president for Mars Food, multisales and global customers. "When you are making these changes, you are not going to please everyone. But it's about doing the right thing, not the easy thing."
Sols 2892-2893: Images Are a Geologist's Best Friend! – NASA's Mars Exploration Program
As we continue to finish our drilling activities – among other things by taking a look at the instrument inlets on top of the rover deck to make sure no sample is remaining on the mesh or elsewhere where we can see – we are already on the look out for the nearby target "Ayton." We want to drill there too, to follow up the chemical changes we have observed in the area. Maybe Mars is going to tell us something really interesting here?
In today’s plan, however, we do play with geologist’s best friend a lot: first, we wrap up some of the mosaic-observations we have started (and taken advantage of the fact that we stay in one place for a while during a drill campaign). Mastcam is adding two sets of stereo images to the tally at this location to further investigate the morphology of the workspace and to fill a gap at an interesting spot for a full analysis of the structures in the workspace.
Fall arrives — and so does Mars | WTOP
Both the Northern and Southern hemispheres will have almost equal amounts of daylight and night, as the sun rises due east and sets due west everywhere on the planet except for the poles. Seen from space , the Earth is equally illuminated by the sun. All of this is repeated during the vernal equinox, which marks the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere around March 21.
The Earth's seasons — fall, winter, spring and summer — are caused by the Earth's orbit around the sun and the 23-and-a-half-degree tilt of Earth’s axis. This causes the amount of sunlight falling on the Earth's Northern and Southern hemispheres to constantly change. The two hemispheres are always opposite in their seasons: Our fall is their spring, while our summer is their winter.

September 24 marks six years since the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO’s) Mangalyaan spacecraft – part of the Mars Orbiter Mission – entered into orbit around the red planet, making India the first Asian country to do so. Even more impressively, Mangalyaan was the country’s first interplanetary mission. Combined with the cost-effectiveness for which it is lauded, Mangalyaan is often hailed as India’s most successful space mission. But is it?

MaRS in talks with University of Calgary to bring new innovation hub to Alberta | BetaKit
Toronto-based MaRS is in exploratory talks with the University of Calgary to bring a new innovation hub to Western Canada.
MaRS confirmed to BetaKit Wednesday that it is hoping to bring its innovation hub model to Calgary in order to help accelerate innovation in the region.
“We're able to take this playbook and apply it to accelerate innovation across the country."
– Yung Wu, MaRS
The organization has 1.5 million square feet of space in Toronto that is home to many companies and events in the city’s tech sector. However, MaRS does not plan to build a new physical site in Calgary. The organization stated that rather than building a physical space it would look to partner with regional stakeholders to offer such a location. It is also looking for partners to launch a seed-stage venture capital fund and startup venture services.
