Meet the team behind Artemis III spacesuit
Axiom Space hired 10 people to design and construct the spacesuit of the future. It will be worn by the next NASA astronauts to step foot on the moon --hopefully in 2025. The new suit is a lot different from the ones used the first time around -- more than 50 years ago.

China’s Mars rover discovers signs of recent water in sand dunes
The rover's radar detected what appears to be a subsurface layer of water ice beneath a layer of Martian soil. The discovery is significant as it suggests that water may exist in a liquid state on Mars.
