Blue Origin secures $700M NASA deal to build Mars communications network by 2028
x/national-aeronautics-and-space-administration
— 19h
NASA awarded Blue Origin a contract worth up to about $700 million to design, build, and operate a high-performance Mars telecommunications network, delivering a DTN-enabled relay orbiter by end-2028 and achieving operational status around Mars by 2030 to relay science data, imagery, navigation, and mission communications for future missions. The award marks NASA’s shift toward commercially operated interplanetary communications infrastructure and aligns with the Artemis program’s Moon-to-Mars ambitions, even as Blue Origin continues lunar contracts and recovers from a recent launchpad setback.

State marine biologists along the Carolinas are asking the public to report sightings of the non-native blue land crab, which has been increasingly observed in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia; first confirmed NC sighting was in 2023, with 23 confirmed and 34 unconfirmed reports, including two this year in Emerald Isle. The crabs vary in color, are difficult to catch, can live up to 11 years, and researchers say public reports help track their spread and potential environmental impact.

Davido Comments on Davrel’s Family Wealth in Quote of Music Group Post
Davido (@davido) quoted a video post by Davreltv (@davrel99) promoting “DAVREL MUSIC GROUP,” writing in Nigerian Pidgin: “And ur mom owns that building … y dem no go hate u 😂 ur in for a ride …” (roughly: “And your mom owns that building… why wouldn’t they hate you? You’re in for a ride”). The post references known details of Davrel’s family’s property ownership and appears to warn or tease about inevitable envy/hate amid Davrel’s rising profile and reported friction with artist Mavo. It is trending due to Davido’s massive following, the light jab at privilege (“nepo” vibes), and fans interpreting it as the star inserting himself into younger artists’ drama, generating hundreds of replies/quotes and high views.
