NASA's Artemis II successfully launched on April 1 , with its crew on a 10-day mission to circle the Moon. It's the first crewed Artemis flight and a major step toward humanity returning to our little neighbor in the future. Since launch, the vehicle has separated from its launch system and been manually piloted, testing how the Orion capsule will dock with future lunar landers. There have been some snags, however: The onboard toilet went awry, and Microsoft Outlook has been acting screwy . Jokes aside, there is something magnificent about seeing humanity taking to the stars once again. That, for all of our worst instincts, we can still come together to solve problems and explore beyond our own horizons. - Dan Cooper The other big stories (and deals) this morning SpaceX has reportedly filed for the biggest IPO in history Could be as much as $75 billion.

Unlike its predecessor, the Pro-X, it gets a second XLR port, MIDI connectivity and a display offering visible VU meters. That you can also use it as a desktop interface adds another layer of icing on an already sweet cake. Continue Reading. What to expect from WWDC 2026 I'm actually rather excited about this one. Sam Rutherford for Engadget WWDC 2026 isn't until the summer, but we're already collating enough rumors from the mill to bring you the inside skinny. Early reports suggest Apple is making this a Snow Leopard year , tidying up after itself inside its software rather than going hard on new features.

Steve Dent for Engadget Nebula's built quite the track record for making projectors you're actually proud to show off. Its latest is the X1 Pro , which combines a beefy 4K projector with a 400-watt Dolby Atmos 7.1 speaker system.
