In astrophysics news, today is the submission for Step 1 astrophysics Probe-class mission proposals. These proposals for $1B X-ray or Far-IR observatories. https://explorers.larc.nasa.gov/2023APPROBE/programlibrary.html A down-selection to two proposals for Step 2 is expected late next calendar year.

There were petitions to rename JWST but they were denied despite the fact that nobody could really come up with a good defense of Webb's tenure during the Lavender Scare beyond "he didn't know about any employees being fired for their sexual orientation".AnimeIsTrash posted:big lol at it being named after a guy who refused to hire black workers at nasa though ? Webb is usually given credit for racial integration at NASA under JFK/LBJ, do you mean before that?

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/human-remains-are-headed-to-the-moon-despite-objections/ lmao, the indians and chinese are landing on the moon and were sending our ashes there quote:Just before the launch of a privately built moon lander, partially funded by NASA, the mission is being criticized for a portion of its cargo: the ashes of dozens of people receiving “space funerals.”

Another happy reminder that China has plans to put human beings back on the moon before 2030 and shows no signs of slowing down

Serbia has signed an agreement on participating in the China-led International Lunar Research Station. The development was listed in a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs document published May 9, listing outcomes following Chinese President Xi Jinping’s state visit to Serbia May 7-8. CNSA has yet to issue its own statement on the matter. The China-led ILRS envisions constructing a permanent lunar base in the 2030s. This will be constructed using a super heavy-lift launcher. China also aims to send astronauts to the moon before 2030. It will launch precursor missions in the 2020s. These include Chang’e-7 around 2026 and the later Chang’e-8 in-situ resource utilization technology test mission. Both multi-spacecraft missions will target the lunar south pole. The Chang’e-6 sample return mission—currently in lunar orbit ahead of an expected early June landing attempt—is nominally part of the program. Chinese officials state that ILRS has a number of scientific and engineering goals. These include lunar and Earth science, astronomy, conducting experiments and resource utilization. Others are stated to involve driving technological development and laying the foundation for further space lunar exploration. [ed: even the Chinese can't come up with a non-circular reason for space travel] Russia this week stated it was developing a nuclear power unit for the joint lunar station, Reuters reported, citing the RIA news agency. It is not clear how Serbia will be involved in and contribute to the ILRS at this stage. China previously stated its intent to create the ILRS Cooperation Organization (ILRSCO) to oversee and manage the project. Its establishment and subsequent meetings will likely to begin to map out Serbia’s and other parties’ involvement in the project. The development is, however, notable for a number of reasons. “I think it speaks to the interest in getting access to the moon and not just that, but an interest in seeking out a partner that has been very effective in using space as a form of soft power outreach: China,” Victoria Samson, chief director of Space Security and Stability at the Secure World Foundation, told SpaceNews via email. “And while the agreement was done with China, I think you can’t overlook the historical closeness Serbia has had with Russia and the ties between the increasingly autocratic president of Serbia and Putin. So signing the ILRS allows Serbia to reconfirm its connection to Russia while getting a much more tangible benefit in terms of its relationship with China.” “The more countries that sign onto either the Artemis Accords or the ILRS, the more it is evident that it is crucial that we figure out now—while exploration there is at the very beginning stages—how best to deconflict activities on the moon and make clear what all stakeholders believe to be responsible behavior in cislunar space so that we can ensure sustainable access to the moon and its environs for the long-term,” Samson added. Serbia becomes the 11th country to join the ILRS, following Nicaragua and Thailand in April. China and Russia formally announced the joint ILRS project in St. Petersburg, Russia, in June 2021. Venezuela, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Belarus, South Africa and Egypt signed up during 2023. ===== seems like an answer to the Artemis Accords, a US-led framework of space development.  "not including Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nicaragua"
