China is coming for the moon. NASAs answer: a faster, leaner plan

Mashable - Sat, 10/24/2026 - 10:00

A faster, simpler plan can still put astronauts on the moon in 2028, despite a space rehearsal ahead of that landing running three months behind schedule, NASA leaders said Friday. 

Administrator Jared Isaacman made the case at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where crews have already started stacking the mega moon rocket for the expedited Artemis III mission. The two-week spaceflight around Earth would see four astronauts — Randy Bresnik, Andre Douglas, Frank Rubio, and Luca Parmitano — in the Orion spacecraft, connecting with two landers built by Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX in orbit. 

Their new plan for the moon-landing mission, Artemis IV, scraps a distant orbit around the moon where the landers were once expected to pick up the crew, and it also cuts the number of rocket launches each landing needs. But NASA's timeline leaves almost no margin for error. 

The stakes reach beyond science. Isaacman warned that NASA is in a new space race with China, which could land its own people on the moon within about three years. 

"This is a story as much about their discipline, focus, and urgency, [as] it is about the weight of [NASA's] institutional inertia and displaced priorities and decades of decisions — some imposed upon us, and others of our own making — that have held America's space program back," Isaacman told reporters at a news conference.

The new plan to return to the moon depends on unproven technology. SpaceX's Starship lander burns so much fuel climbing to orbit that it can't reach the moon unless it fills up again in space. Other Starships would fly up as tankers and pump fuel into it, much like a fighter jet refueling in midair. Nobody has moved rocket fuel between spaceships on that scale. 

SpaceX plans its first full attempt early next year, and that test should show how many tanker flights each moon trip takes. Once fueled, Starship would meet the astronauts near Earth and push their capsule to the moon. Starship only entered orbit for the first time last month.

Blue Origin, on the other hand, skips the refueling but takes on a first of its own. It plans to launch three smaller spacecraft that work like tugboats. They would link up with the lander in orbit around Earth, then take turns hauling it to an easier lunar orbit than the one NASA originally conceived. 

First, though, the company has to get flying again. Its New Glenn rocket hasn't launched since a catastrophic mishap in May that destroyed its launch pad. 

Previously, NASA had chosen SpaceX's lander for its first two moon landings. Now the agency will keep both companies in the running before picking which one carries astronauts down first. 

"Regardless of who goes first, both providers are planning for lunar landing missions in 2028," said Jeremy Parsons, NASA's Artemis program manager.

NASA attributes most of the Artemis III delay to late electronics parts for Blue Origin's lander. To claw back time, NASA has planted its own engineers inside suppliers' factories and requires daily progress reports from its major contractors. When a huge piece of Blue Origin's lander needed to cross the country fast, the agency borrowed a military cargo jet to fly it there, officials said.

NASA also has started building more of its own hardware instead of outsourcing it to the private sector. A connection that feeds super-cold hydrogen into the Space Launch System rocket has had leaking issues in the past. The original fix would have taken years and tens of millions of dollars, Parsons said. NASA engineers redesigned and built a new one themselves for a fraction of the price in less than five months, he said. At a NASA center in Alabama, engineers also designed and built a part for the Artemis III rocket without hiring a contractor at all.

That push comes from an unlikely source. The administrator is a tech billionaire, who made his fortune building a payments company. Business leaders usually argue that private companies beat the government on speed and cost. But when it comes to NASA, Isaacman argued nearly the opposite on Friday. He blamed bloated programs and a lobby of suppliers for slowing the agency down. The solution, he said, was more designing, welding, and machining performed in house.  

"It's not entrepreneurial thinking or tech industry pixie dust or some new management philosophy," Isaacman said. "It's a playbook this agency knows really well — the same playbook that went from Apollo 7 splashdown to Apollo 11 in just nine months."

To save time, NASA also has trimmed its own ambitions. NASA and its contractor, Axiom Space, are developing a pared-down spacesuit for the first short moonwalks that would weigh about 250 pounds, roughly half as much as the original. The agency also scrapped an expensive, delayed new top section for its rocket, the part that gives the capsule its final shove toward the moon, and picked a stretched version of one that United Launch Alliance already builds for its own rockets.

Speed makes some people nervous, and with reason. In 1967, a fire during a launch pad test killed three Apollo astronauts. Isaacman and Amit Kshatriya, NASA's associate administrator, argued that moving fast doesn't mean cutting corners. 

"Speed and rigor are not the same dial. They're just not," Kshatriya said. "We can dial them separately. Just because we go fast doesn't mean we're not doing the right things."

All three rockets in NASA's plan head back to the launch pad within months. SpaceX could fly Starship again as soon as November, and Blue Origin hopes to return New Glenn to flight around the turn of the year. Before the close of 2026, NASA plans to load its own rocket with fuel at the launch pad.

While shoppers are buzzing for the big Black Friday discounts, Amazon has plenty of deals available right now — particularly if you know how to navigate the listings. Fortunately, we've always got our eye on the latest and best deals, and we've spotted a discount for drone fans this weekend.

As of Oct. 24, the DJI Mini 3 drone is down to $369 at Amazon, giving you total savings of $50.

It's worth grabbing this while it's marked down, as recent changes in U.S. law have effectively banned the future import of China-made DJI drones. Prices are likely to soar when existing stocks become increasingly scarce.

The DJI Mini 3 is super fun to fly, but it's also perfect for content creators thanks to a range of shooting features in 4K HDR, including QuickShots, True Vertical filming, and Helix and Boomerang shots. A 3-axis gimbal ensures your images are always stable, while one-tap editing lets you edit your footage on the spot.

As for actual flying, it takes off from the palm of your hand and boasts a return-to-home feature and robust wind resistance.

Don't miss your chance to save $50 on the DJI Mini 3 drone at Amazon.

Pokémon teases an adorable new holiday plush collection: How to buy Pikachu tree, Clodsire sleigh, and more

Mashable - Sat, 10/24/2026 - 10:00

TL;DR: Pokémon Center revealed a sneak peek at its upcoming holiday plush collection, featuring Pikachu as a Christmas tree, riding a Clodsire sleigh, and driving a Porygon-mobile. The new winter lineup drops ahead of the holiday season, with official release dates and pricing coming soon.

With winter right around the corner, it's almost time to transform your room into the ultimate cozy cave. And if your seasonal setup is currently missing a Pikachu dressed like a Christmas tree or an absolute unit of a Clodsire pulling a sleigh, the Pokémon Center is about to fix that.

The official store just dropped a preview of its upcoming holiday plush collection, giving us a first look at a fresh wave of insanely cute winter releases. We've already covered all the best highlights from the full holiday drop, from Mew tree toppers to Snom beanies, so consider these plushies the festive cherry on top.

We don't have exact prices or an official launch date yet, but the drop will feature Pikachu taking on all kinds of festive roles across both full-sized plushies and plush key chains.

Here's what's coming:

  • Tree-kachu — Pikachu went all-out this year and straight-up dressed as a holiday tree. The floppy-eared fit features pastel ornaments, a glittery red bow, and a shiny golden Minior sitting on top instead of a regular star.

  • Clodsire Sleigh — Stantler and Sawsbuck can take the year off because Pikachu has a very gallant Clodsire pulling its sleigh this time around. Both of them are rocking matching winter hats, and the back of the golden-trimmed sleigh even sports Pikachu's signature ears and lightning-bolt tail.

  • Porygon-mobile — Pikachu apparently got its top wishlist item this year and is now flexing on everyone while cruising around in a toy car modeled after an upgraded Porygon.

  • Tangela Cookie — Easily the most relatable one of the batch, this plush catches Pikachu in full holiday snack mode. It's blissfully munching on a cream-filled Tangela cookie with its eyes closed in pure happiness.

  • Snowman Pikachu — Channeling classic Santa vibes with a floppy cap and a fluffy white beard, Pikachu gets rolled up into a perfect little snowball with its bright red cheeks poking out.

Keep your eyes peeled on the Pokémon Center site over the next few weeks so you can scoop these up before the holiday rush sells them out.

AI subscriptions aren’t cheap, but it’s manageable if you only use one model like ChatGPT. However, if you need tools for generating images, writing copy, analyzing documents, or translating between languages, a platform like 1min.AI is a more viable option.

1min.AI gives you lifetime access to some of the most popular AI tools, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral, and many others. It’s also only $99.99 for a lifetime subscription right now (reg. $540).

1min.AI runs in your browser and pulls a ton of everyday work into one place. You can research keywords, draft blog posts, rewrite and shorten text, generate social posts, and keep a consistent brand voice across projects. There are tools to summarize or translate documents, chat with multiple PDFs at once, and spin up slide presentations. For visuals, you can generate images from prompts, upscale low-resolution pictures, remove backgrounds, extend edges, or turn rough sketches into cleaner artwork.

Here’s a small sample of the AI models you’ll get access to:

  • GPT

  • Claude 3 Opus and Claude 3 Sonnet

  • Gemini Pro 1.5

  • Llama 3

  • Mistral models

The Advanced Business Plan includes 4,000,000 credits each month, plus the chance to earn up to 450,000 more through daily logins and other tasks. Credits are shared across writing, images, audio, and video, so you can lean harder on whichever tools you need that month. The plan supports up to 20 members, with shared workspaces, an unlimited prompt library, unlimited storage, and unlimited brand voices. If you don’t use all your credits, they just roll over, so you aren’t missing out if you have a lighter month.

Right now, it’s only $99.99 to get a 1min.AI lifetime subscription, but it won’t stay that way.

T-Mobile is giving away the Apple iPhone 17 for free — how to qualify

We're not blind to what's going on right now. We're well aware that everyone is going wild for the iPhone Duo. Apple's first-ever foldable is obviously dominating the conversation, but does that mean we can totally ignore all the other mobile deals? In this economy?

We refuse to stop. We've been busy scanning for the best early Black Friday deals on mobiles, and T-Mobile's offering is hard to ignore.

The Apple iPhone 17e is totally free right now with T-Mobile. To qualify for this offer, you simply need to switch to T-Mobile on most plans. If you want to upgrade to the iPhone 17, you can get it for under $100 when you bring your number on an Experience More or Experience Beyond plan. Neither deal relies on a trade-in, which is a nice bonus.

The full savings are distributed as monthly credits over a 36-month payment plan. If you leave T-Mobile before the end of the three-year commitment, you will need to pay the remaining balance. You do also need to pay local sales tax on the phone's full retail value upfront, plus a standard $35 device connection fee per line at checkout.

We reviewed the iPhone 17e earlier this year. Stan Schroeder said, "The iPhone 17e is a decent upgrade over its predecessor, and a good choice if you want the cheapest new iPhone you can get." If you don't need all the power of the iPhone 18 Pro, it's a solid choice for most people.

Get the Apple iPhone 17e for free this weekend with T-Mobile.

Vlogging is fun and creative. What it isn't is cheap, particularly if you want professional production values and the best equipment. Fortunately, Amazon has marked down a highly rated content-creation tool, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo, to an all-time low price.

As of Oct. 24, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Creator Combo is priced at $495, a 21% reduction from the regular list price of $629. That's an overall saving of $134.

Normally you'd have to wait for the likes of Black Friday to grab a deal like this, but this deal has held on since October Prime Day — there's no indication of whether it will stay at this price, so don't miss your chance to grab it at this price.

Though DJI is best known for drone technology, this pocket-sized 4K camera is about as good as you'll get at this size and price point. Part of a combo bundle, it comes with a DJI Mic 2 transmitter, a battery handle, and an Osmo mini tripod.

The camera is equipped with a 1-inch CMOS sensor that captures 4K footage at up to 120 fps. It has a 3-axis mechanical gimbal, which gives you the dexterity and stability you need for on-the-go content creation. It can also track and keep you at the center of the shot with its ActiveTrack 6.0 technology.

Other features include built-in stereo recording, fast focus switching, and a 2-inch rotatable touchscreen that lets you switch between portrait and landscape orientations.

Why Pures post-board beats traditional swiping

Mashable - Sat, 10/24/2026 - 09:00

If you're experiencing some serious online dating burnout from traditional swiping but still don't want to give up the chance to make a fun connection with a stranger, you owe it to yourself to try Pure. 

Pure does almost everything differently, ditching dating profiles and endless swiping in favor of user-generated "ads" that are publicly visible for one hour at a time. If another user interacts with your ad, you receive a chat request to start the interaction. 

In our experience, this approach is light-years ahead of traditional swiping, especially if you're just looking for a hookup — here's why.

Traditional dating apps operate slowly, encouraging users to take their time reading profiles and swiping left and right, and even when a match occurs, it can take days or even weeks from the first person swiping right to the other person confirming the match. Pure operates much faster: you post an ad to the post board, where it's publicly visible for just one hour, and other people can choose to interact with it or not.   

In practice, this idea is genius, especially because the hookup mood is often temporary. If you find yourself eager for connection and with some free time, you can just load up Pure and check the most recent posts for something that stands out to you. Rather than long, involved dating profiles, Pure offers something closer to a status update, with only the essential information: who you are and what you're looking for, in the moment. 

The "give to get" mechanic

One of Pure's best features is that it restricts post board viewing only to members who have already posted an ad. In other words, if someone sees your ad, it means they too have a one-hour-long post filled with a request, want, interest, or itch they want scratched.

Why is this so important? Because on regular dating apps, lots of people swipe through profiles out of curiosity, or boredom, or a need for validation. Pure cuts through the noise to offer concentrated desire in the form of a temporary personal ad

No wasted time

Another great feature of Pure's post system is that not only do the ads themselves disappear (typically after an hour), but so do the chats those ads generate, so if you do end up starting to talk with someone, both you and your chat partner have to act decisively to extend the chat or meet IRL before the 24-hour expiration deletes your entire chat history. 

If you've ever wasted hours on a back-and-forth Tinder or Hinge chat that seemingly goes nowhere but never dies, you'll appreciate Pure's straight-to-the-point approach.

Privacy

If you're out for a hookup, you may appreciate the discretion and anonymity Pure affords its users. When you post an ad, you are under no obligation to include your age or a photo of your face, or even a photo. You can share whatever you're comfortable with sharing and then filter out people as they interact with you. 

And because everything from the ad itself to the chats you may initiate as a result of the ad all expire after a set amount of time, erased not only from your app but from Pure's servers, you can be assured of a higher degree of privacy on Pure than on most conventional dating apps.
