The aerospace agency revealed the issue in a Tuesday post that explained recent telemetry from the craft suggested all its systems were working as intended.

After NASA received that data, MAVEN swung behind Mars, and therefore lost contact with Earth as its radios can’t send data through a planet.

But when MAVEN’s orbit brought it back into view, ground stations on Earth could not detect any signal from the probe.

NASA doesn’t know what’s gone wrong.

“The issue was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a cyber attack on Cloudflare’s systems or malicious activity of any kind. Instead, it was triggered by changes being made to our body parsing logic while attempting to detect and mitigate an industry-wide vulnerability disclosed this week in React Server Components.” https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage/

It seems to do a quarter turn to its left at the end. I wonder if this is intentional or not.

Oh, now I get it. Didn‘t know it’s not allowed to pass the bus even when it’s on the other side of the street. In our country we teach the kids to not run across the street when they get out of the bus.

Same with Morocco, no ads. At least it was a few years ago when I was there. Even downloading videos for offline playing was activated in the official YouTube app.

Flight 7 includes a payload deployment test!

Like the sheep farmer of Australia who won an ultramarathon at the age of 61:

‚He ran at a slow and loping pace and trailed the pack by a large margin at the end of the first day. While the other competitors stopped to sleep for six hours, Young kept running. He ran continuously for five days, taking the lead during the first night and eventually winning by 10 hours. Before running the race, he had told the press that he had previously run for two to three days straight rounding up sheep in gumboots.‘

RIP Booster 1062

Looks to me like a landing leg broke.

A few years ago I‘ve been traveling in Morocco. And as long as I was there, YouTube didn’t show me any ads! Neither in the web player nor in the app (on iOS). Does anybody have a VPN with a server in Morocco to test if this is still working?

IMO there’s way more ice than usual. Maybe a leak? https://piped.video/watch?v=I2klvDvmtFc&t=202

Are these parts of the trunk of a cargo dragon?

Thanks!

That’s what they said in the interview. And didn’t Apollo also had a pure oxygen environment? As long as there isn’t a spark it wouldn’t combust, right?

Interesting facts from the video:

• 100% oxygen only in the suits, not in the capsule
• suit pressure above 5 PSI. The suits have to be pretty good to keep mobility with this pressure!
