At  00:35 CEST on 2 April (18:35 local time on 1 April), NASA's Space Launch System rocket lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft on Artemis II. At the heart of the mission is ESA's European Service Module, which powers, propels and sustains the Orion spacecraft and its crew on their journey around the Moon and safely back to Earth.
Over the next 10 days, NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, together with Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen, will fly around the Moon and return safely to Earth, the first journey of its kind since Apollo 17 in 1972, over half a century ago. 
Powering Orion on this historic voyage is our second European Service Module, which is responsible for life support for the astronauts, as well as power generation and propulsion. Its four solar arrays, each stretching seven metres, give electricity to the spacecraft, while its systems provide air, water, and a comfortable temperature for the astronauts. Thirty-three engines, including a powerful repurposed Space Shuttle engine, will guide Orion through deep space and perform critical manoeuvres on the lunar journey.

ZipNada writes: Two software researchers recently demonstrated how modern AI tools can reproduce entire open-source projects, creating proprietary versions that appear both functional and legally distinct. The partly-satirical demonstration shows how quickly artificial intelligence can blur long-standing boundaries between coding innovation, copyright law, and the open-source principles that underpin much of the modern internet.
In their presentation, Dylan Ayrey, founder of Truffle Security, and Mike Nolan, a software architect with the UN Development Program, introduced a tool they call malus.sh. For a small fee, the service can "recreate any open-source project," generating what its website describes as "legally distinct code with corporate-friendly licensing. No attribution. No copyleft. No problems." It's a test case in how intellectual property law -- still rooted in 19th-century precedent -- collides with 21st-century automation. Since the US Supreme Court's Baker v. Selden ruling, copyright has been understood to guard expression, not ideas.
That boundary gave rise to clean-room design, a method by which engineers reverse-engineer systems without accessing the original source code. Phoenix Technologies famously used the technique to build its version of the PC BIOS during the 1980s. Ayrey and Nolan's experiment shows how AI can perform a clean-room process in minutes rather than months. But faster doesn't necessarily mean fair. Traditional clean-room efforts required human teams to document and replicate functionality -- a process that demanded both legal oversight and significant labor. By contrast, an AI-mediated "clean room" can be invoked through a few prompts, raising questions about whether such replication still counts as fair use or independent creation.

In classic Cloudflare fashion, the CDN provider used April Fool's Day to unveil an actual, "not a joke" product. Today, the company announced EmDash -- an open-source "spiritual successor" to WordPress that aims to solve plugin security. Phoronix reports: With the help of AI coding agents, Cloudflare engineers have been rebuilding the WordPress open-source project "from the ground up." EmDash is written entirely in TypeScript and is a server-less design. Making plug-ins more secure than the WordPress architecture, EmDash plug-ins are sandboxed and run in their own isolate. EmDash builds upon the Astro web framework. EmDash doesn't rely on any WordPress code but is designed to be compatible with WordPress functionality. EmDash is open-source now under the MIT license. The EmDash code is available on GitHub.

“LLM-generated passwords…appear strong, but are fundamentally insecure, because LLMs are designed to predict tokens – the opposite of securely and uniformly sampling random characters.”
BRUSSEL (ANP) - NAVO-chef Mark Rutte gaat volgende week op bezoek bij de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump, meldt The Wall Street Journal op basis van ingewijden.
Een woordvoerder van de militaire alliantie bevestigde tegenover Reuters dat de Nederlander Washington bezoekt. Volgens de woordvoerder stond het bezoek al lang op de agenda. Verdere details over de ontmoeting werden niet bekendgemaakt.
Trump zei woensdag in The Telegraph dat hij overweegt de Verenigde Staten uit de NAVO terug te trekken. Volgens hem hebben andere NAVO-landen de VS te weinig gesteund in de oorlog tegen Iran.
Trump uitte eerder al twijfels over zijn steun aan het bondgenootschap, maar gebruikte niet eerder zulke stevige bewoordingen.
CAPE CANAVERAL (ANP) - Vier astronauten zijn begonnen aan hun vlucht naar de maan. Het is de eerste keer sinds december 1972 dat mensen richting het hemellichaam vliegen. De draagraket voor de missie Artemis II steeg in de nacht van woensdag op donderdag op vanaf ruimtebasis Cape Canaveral in de Amerikaanse staat Florida.
Aan boord zijn de Amerikanen Reid Wiseman (50), Victor Glover (49) en Christina Koch (47) en de Canadees Jeremy Hansen (50). Na de lancering komen ze eerst in een baan rond de aarde, op ongeveer 2200 kilometer hoogte. Dat is vijf keer zo ver als ruimtestation ISS. Daarna vliegen ze naar een hoogte van 70.000 kilometer, voordat ze beginnen aan de oversteek naar de maan.
Het is de bedoeling dat de vlucht naar de maan ongeveer vier dagen duurt. Na een rondje eromheen beginnen ze aan de terugkeer naar de aarde. Over ongeveer anderhalve week moeten ze hangend aan parachutes in de Grote Oceaan plonzen.
De lancering is in de afgelopen maanden meerdere keren uitgesteld, onder meer vanwege lekkende leidingen en haperende communicatiesystemen.
De Verenigde Staten willen in de komende jaren weer voet op de maan zetten, en ruimtevaartorganisatie NASA wil dat dit gebeurt voor het einde van de termijn van president Donald Trump. De eerstvolgende missie, Artemis III, staat gepland voor volgend jaar. In een baan rond de aarde testen astronauten dan onder meer de maanlander. Begin 2028 is mogelijk de eerste maanlanding van het programma, met de missie Artemis IV.
