China on Thursday announced that it has successfully completed a comprehensive test for the landing and take off of its manned lunar lander "Lanyue" at a test site in Huailai County in the northern Chinese province of Hebei. The "Lanyue" lunar lander is a newly developed extraterrestrial manned descent and ascent vehicle for China's first manned lunar exploration mission, which is primarily designed for transporting astronauts between lunar orbit and the lunar surface. The lander can carry two astronauts on round trips and is equipped to transport a lunar rover and scientific payloads, supporting astronauts in conducting surface activities and extended stays on the moon.

Robotic deconstruction for lunar expansion Watch as our rover grinds and recovers material directly from a mock lunar lander. This capability allows us to "upcycle" hardware already on the surface into resources. Mastering this process is a core requirement for near-future lunar exploration, ensuring we can expand our footprint using the assets we already have. The lunar surface is our next worksite. Get on board:

Two days ago Elon said SpaceX is building a "self-growing city on the Moon" in under 10 years. Most people don't realize how close the engineering already is. Using the xAI API (Grok) I compiled every peer-reviewed study, mission result, and hardware spec into one document. Here's what the data actually says. The math: Elon Musk's core argument: "We can launch to the Moon every 10 days a 2-day trip. Mars is every 26 months a 6-month trip. We can iterate much faster." Starship lands ~100 metric tons per flight. At 10-20 lunar flights/year, that's 1,000-2,000 tonnes of infrastructure annually. That's enough to build a city. Construction: We already know how to build with lunar dirt. 9 validated sintering methods turn raw regolith into structural material ranging from 26 to 207 MPa compressive strength. For reference: under 1/6 g, lunar structures need a fraction of what terrestrial buildings require. China flew 34 regolith bricks on Tiangong for a full year. Returned November 2025. No cracks or structural damage. 3x standard brick strength. Power: The 14-day lunar night is the hardest engineering problem on the Moon. NASA and DOE signed an MOU in January 2026 for a nuclear reactor on the surface by 2030. The Phase 1 demo spec was 40 kW. The Phase 2 solicitation issued December 2025 calls for at least 100 kW. Both targets: under 6 tonnes, 10-year life, zero crew intervention, autonomous startup. A rover drives it to a safe distance, unreels a cable, and walks away. One of those powers a small city through every lunar night. ISRU: The Moon is 40-45% oxygen by weight. It's locked in the rock, but we know how to get it out. Molten regolith electrolysis: ~6,800 kg of hardware produces 25 t/yr of metal + 24 t/yr of oxygen. Mass payback ratio: 0.14 kg of equipment per kg of annual product. That's an industrial plant. Dust: Lunar dust is electrostatically charged, razor-sharp, and gets into everything. Apollo crews called it the worst operational hazard on the Moon. In March 2025, NASA's Electrodynamic Dust Shield was tested on the actual lunar surface during the Blue Ghost mission. Before-and-after images show regolith visibly cleared from glass and radiators. First in-situ dust removal ever demonstrated on the Moon. Most people missed this entirely. Lava tubes: The best real estate on the Moon is underground. GRAIL gravity data suggests lava tubes up to several kilometers wide may exist beneath the lunar maria. The first cave was directly confirmed by radar analysis published in 2024: the Mare Tranquillitatis pit, at least 45 meters wide with a conduit extending tens of meters further. Interior temperatures in shadowed lunar caves range from -20C to as warm as 17C, stable year-round. Zero radiation, zero micrometeorites, zero thermal cycling. A pressurized lava tube habitat doesn't need regolith shielding, doesn't need thermal control, and has virtually unlimited expansion volume. Timeline: Elon Musk said "less than 10 years." Here's what that looks like with the hardware that exists today: 2026-2028: Robotic cargo flights. 5-10 Starships pre-position 500-1,000 tonnes. Nuclear reactor. ISRU pilot plant. All before crew arrives. 2028-2029: First crew lands to a turnkey site. Monthly cargo flights continue. 20-40 people. 2030-2032: 100-200 residents. Industrial oxygen and metal production. 3D-printed campus. Propellant production begins. 2033-2035: 200-500+ people. Propellant self-sufficiency. Lava tube outpost. A functioning city. Geopolitics: China's ILRS is in active construction phase. Joint Russia-China nuclear power station planned for 2033-2035. Chang'e-7 launches this year with a PSR hopper. A Trump executive order in December called for a permanent lunar outpost by 2030. NASA Administrator Isaacman is accelerating commercial partnerships. The south pole is a strategic race, and SpaceX just entered it as a city-builder. Close: A year ago Elon Musk called the Moon "a distraction." Now it's the overriding priority. What changed isn't the destination. It's the realization that Starship's 100-tonne payload class, combined with ISRU and nuclear power, makes a self-sustaining lunar city achievable this decade, not next. The full technical reference (47 sources, 14 sections) is linked in the comment below. It's the most comprehensive single document that you will find on what it actually takes to build a permanent settlement on the Moon.

Docking? ✅ Our Blue Docking System team successfully completed soft capture system testing at @NASA_Johnson's Six-Degree-Of-Freedom Dynamic Test facility. This test completes a key milestone on our Commercial LEO Destinations (CLD) contract. The fully vertically integrated system will fly first on our Blue Moon MK2 Lunar Lander, then on Orbital Reef and future vehicles. This marks the first time we have confirmed the performance of our pressurized docking system in flight-like scenarios, meeting International Docking System Standard requirements.

Saharan dust has made it to the Texas coastline this morning. It'll make its way to North Texas as the day goes on. It won't look like a wall of dust, but rather a haze that settles in. It could trigger allergy-like symptoms. Dust also brings colorful sunrise and sunsets.
