Why NASA's First Landing On The Moon in 50 Years Matters - It's Commercial, Cryogenic & Confused
Intuitive Machines have successfully soft landed on the Moon, carrying a number of payloads for NASA, this represents a return to the moon for the USA. However far more significantly, it's the first purely commercial lander to land on the surface of the moon, and the first lunar lander to use purely cryogenic propellents for all its deep space maneuvering.
Both of these factors are core to NASA's Artemis program, and so seeing success here is important to NASA's plans.
However.
It's far from a perfect success, because it appears to have fallen over during the landing, and this is limiting the communications with the Earth, it's not clear how much science will be possible with the lunar surface payloads, but at least 3 of the payloads already contributed directly to the success of the landing.

Edited from last night's BSG themed livestream, I try to build something that looks like a Viper from the TV show Battlestar Galactica, after hearing of the death of Richard Hatch who appeared in both the original and reboot.
Unedited Stream is here.

If you grew up dreaming of giant robot battles then Megabots have made it their goal to to make those dreams a reality. They've built a 15' (5m) tall fighting robot and challenged their Japanese counterparts to a duel. There's going to be a lot of national pride riding on the outcome of this battle, and Team USA is raising money for weapon upgrades via kickstarter. Even if you're a not american, there's straight up Nerd Nation pride here, we want mech battles to be a real thing!

The shortest longest episode ever, hours of Mun trucking, hauling the largest loads across the harsh unforgiving terrain of the mun, but the mun truckers do what needs to be done.
Apologies for my energy level, I'm feeling a bit ill right now, so this was a bit rough at the edges.

KERBA
kerbal-space-program-interstellar-29
With our kerbals on the way to Duna they have also become the first kerbals to enter interplanetary space and as such we are rewarded with science! Just enough science to unlock the new RAPIER engine and attempt to design a spaceplane capable to taking a small payload into orbit and returning to base.
Modlist being maintained by some nice people on reddit.

The classic spaceplane in KSP uses turbojets to get up to altitude, then rockets to get into orbit, this is not a simple process since you need to fly an ascent profile that gets the most out of the jets and then coordinate switching over to the rockets at the right time.
