Intuitive Machines Shares Fall After Company Misses NASA Rover Bid

Intuitive Machines Shares Fall After Company Misses NASA Rover Bid

Intuitive Machines Inc. shares slid late Tuesday after NASA’s new lunar mobility updates seemed to exclude the company from a hotly watched rover award, hitting a stock that had gained with the wider space-trade push. Shares dropped 8.1% to $35.16, after trading as high as $45.42 and as low as $31.60 earlier in the session. Volume topped 45 million, much heavier than usual for the Nasdaq-listed lunar infrastructure company.

Oil Prices Tumble, Dow Futures Jump After Trump Delays Iran Energy Strikes

Oil Prices Tumble, Dow Futures Jump After Trump Delays Iran Energy Strikes

Oil prices tumbled, with Brent sliding to $96 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate dropping to $85.28. U.S. stock futures shifted higher Monday after President Donald Trump announced a five-day hold on planned strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy sites, following what he called productive talks with Tehran. Futures, which hint at the direction for Wall Street at the open, turned positive. Traders had spent the weekend on edge, bracing for potential disruption to the Strait of Hormuz—the key choke point linking Iran and Oman, where roughly 20% of the world’s oil and LNG moves through. Monday, the International Energy Agency said it was talking with governments about possible further emergency stock releases, following an unprecedented 400 million-barrel drawdown earlier this month.

NASA orders SpaceX Crew-11 home early after ISS medical issue, targets Jan. 15 splashdown

NASA orders SpaceX Crew-11 home early after ISS medical issue, targets Jan. 15 splashdown

NASA and SpaceX now plan to bring the Crew-11 mission back from the International Space Station no earlier than 5 p.m. ET on Jan. 14, following a medical issue with one crew member, NASA said. The four-person team is expected to splash down off California’s coast around 3:40 a.m. ET on Jan. 15. This marks the first planned medical evacuation from the ISS in its 25-year history, as NASA struggles to maintain routine operations with less room for error. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told reporters the agency expedited the return due to a “serious medical condition,” though the top medical official stressed it was “not an emergent evacuation.”

NASA moves up SpaceX Crew-11 return from ISS after astronaut medical issue — here’s the timeline

NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than 5 p.m. EST on Jan. 14 for Crew-11 to undock — detach — from the International Space Station, with a splashdown off the coast of California at about 3:40 a.m. on Jan. 15, NASA said. The agency is bringing the crew home earlier than planned as it monitors a medical concern affecting one astronaut, whom NASA said is stable. NASA officials have described the case as a “serious medical condition,” and said the station does not have the tools to fully diagnose and treat it. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told reporters the decision was driven by the station’s limits, saying “the capability to diagnose and treat this properly does not live on the International Space Station.”

NASA orders SpaceX Crew-11 home early from ISS after undisclosed astronaut medical issue, spacewalk canceled

NASA will bring the SpaceX Crew-11 astronauts back from the International Space Station early after a medical issue affected one of the four crew members, agency officials said on Thursday. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman called it a “serious medical condition” and said “the capability to diagnose and treat this properly does not live on the ISS.” The decision immediately throws the crew-rotation schedule into motion. NASA said it is reviewing Crew-11 return dates and working with SpaceX and international partners on options to move up launch opportunities for Crew-12.

NASA orders first-ever ISS medical evacuation as SpaceX Crew-11 heads home early

NASA orders first-ever ISS medical evacuation as SpaceX Crew-11 heads home early

NASA has ordered the early return of its Crew-11 mission from the International Space Station after a crew member developed a “serious medical condition,” senior agency officials said. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said the station lacks the capability to “diagnose and treat this properly,” in what officials described as the first such medical evacuation in the orbiting lab’s 25-year history. The move matters because it exposes a hard limit of human spaceflight: the ISS has medical gear and links to doctors on the ground, but not the tools to fully work up a serious case. NASA’s Amit Kshatriya called the response “a textbook example” of crew training and said the agency has no spare, crew-ready capsule docked that would let one astronaut leave alone.

ISS medical issue forces NASA to send Crew-11 home early, scrapping spacewalk

ISS medical issue forces NASA to send Crew-11 home early, scrapping spacewalk

NASA ordered four astronauts on the International Space Station to cut their mission short and head back to Earth early after a medical situation involving an unnamed crew member, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said on Thursday. “It’s in the best interest of our astronauts” to return Crew-11 ahead of schedule, he told a news conference. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nasa-officials-space-station-medical-issue/ The step is rare for a station that has run on fixed rotations for more than 25 years, and it underscores the limits of medical workups in microgravity — near weightlessness — even with trained crews and flight surgeons on the ground. Chief health and medical officer J.D. Polk said the return was not an emergency, but NASA was “erring on the side of caution,” according to AP. https://apnews.com/article/1a6f794035be86582025c196f8f9e7b5

NASA Mars goes radio-silent as solar conjunction stalls MAVEN recovery efforts

NASA Mars goes radio-silent as solar conjunction stalls MAVEN recovery efforts

NASA has entered a planned communications blackout with its Mars missions as a solar alignment known as conjunction begins, delaying efforts to re-establish contact with the MAVEN orbiter that has been silent since early December, the agency said. NASA said the pause starts Dec. 29 and it does not expect contact with any Mars missions until Jan. 16. NASA Science The timing matters because solar conjunction cuts off the routine back-and-forth needed to keep spacecraft operating smoothly and to troubleshoot anomalies. It also freezes recovery work on MAVEN at a moment when engineers are still trying to work out why it stopped responding.

Shannon Airport Was Considered a NASA Space Shuttle Emergency Landing Site, Newly Released Irish State Papers Show

Shannon Airport Was Considered a NASA Space Shuttle Emergency Landing Site, Newly Released Irish State Papers Show

If you’ve ever passed through Shannon Airport, it’s easy to think of it as a gateway for transatlantic travel—a place built for long runways, strong winds, and big aircraft. But newly released Irish State Papers suggest the Co Clare runway once sat inside a far more dramatic contingency plan: a last-resort landing option for NASA’s Space Shuttle, should a launch go catastrophically wrong. Documents reported in Irish media over the weekend indicate U.S. officials asked the Irish Government in 1995 to allow Shannon to be used as an additional emergency landing location. In a worst‑case scenario involving multiple main engine failures, the shuttle crew could have had only seconds to decide whether to divert—potentially toward Ireland. The Irish Times+2TheJournal.ie+2

Comet 3I/ATLAS Today (Dec. 25, 2025): What’s New After the Flyby, What NASA and ESA Just Saw, and Why It Matters

December 25, 2025 marks the strange, quiet “afterglow” phase of Comet 3I/ATLAS—the third confirmed interstellar object ever found passing through our solar system. The comet’s closest approach to Earth is already behind us, but the science story is still unfolding fast: Breakthrough Listen has now reported results from an ultra-sensitive “are you broadcasting?” radio search, while NASA and ESA continue to publish spacecraft observations that help pin down what this visitor is actually made of—and how it behaves when the Sun starts cooking it. SETI Institute 3I/ATLAS was first reported on July 1, 2025 by the NASA-funded ATLAS survey telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile. Its path is hyperbolic, meaning it’s not bound to the Sun—this is a one-time pass through our neighborhood, inbound from interstellar space and outbound back into the galaxy. NASA Science
