Although their tones and timbres vary, sirens and alarms are universal harbingers of emergency. Mounted in homes and offices; on police cars, ambulances, and fire engines; and in airports, schools, and hospitals, they save precious lives every day with their cacophonous caterwauls that scream for all to hear: “Danger!”

Redwire executives, in a May 12 earnings call to discuss the company’s first quarter financial results, emphasized recent contract wins in Europe and the growth of the company there, such as the opening of a new office in Poland.

One factor was an issue the company previously discussed with the lander’s laser altimeters. Steve Altemus, chief executive of Intuitive Machines, said there was “signal noise and distortion” from the altimeters during the lander’s final descent “that did not allow for accurate altitude readings.”

The three new sonifications feature data from multiple celestial objects, each representing different aspects, or developmental stages, of black holes, according to a statement from NASA.

But President Trump's Fiscal Year 2026 proposed budget blueprint issued on May 2 by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) calls for a 24.3 percent reduction to NASA's top-line funding and could slashing the space agency's science budget by 47 percent. A casualty stemming from this projected budget bombshell is the Mars Sample Return (MSR) venture.

If all goes to plan, scientists may someday begin building outposts on the moon — and some experts believe that these outposts could be constructed with bricks made out of lunar regolith. And now, a new study based on lunar regolith simulant experiments suggests that if these moon-dust bricks crack, bacteria could be used to seal them back up.
