——- Cool event
Eric Berger: "The Explorer's Club announced a cool event for next Monday, 7pm ET, when Richard Garriott will interview Paul Wooster (SpaceX's principal Mars engineer) about making life multi-planetary. It will be live-streamed on the organization's web site.”
Explorers.org ...
The Explorers Club Facebook page posted that the event had been cancelled just 15 minutes before it was to start:
“We apologize but due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to cancel tonight's lecture - "SpaceX - Making Life Multiplanetary". We hope to have the event rescheduled in the future, and will update everyone via email and on our social media channels as information becomes available.”

< Do you have to be a member to watch these talks?
> TEC: No. It's just available on here whenever a live stream takes place.
I did not see any notice on their website about the cancellation. However, the calendar of events there does say that events in blue (which this was) are open to the public.

Moon Landers Bridenstine hints Artemis 3 could land near Apollo site Bridenstine treated a landing away from the south pole as, for now, a hypothetical scenario. “If we made a determination that the south pole might be out of reach for Artemis 3, which I’m not saying it is or isn’t,” then a landing near an Apollo site might be an option, he said. “Those decisions haven’t been made at this time.”
…
While NASA envisions ultimately building up an “Artemis Base Camp,” or sustained presence in one location, agency officials said at the meeting there’s no decision yet on whether the second human landing mission, Artemis 4, would go to the same location as Artemis 3. “We’re really going to need to see what are capabilities are from the landers, and what locations we can actually get to,” Bleacher said. He added there’s also “no clarity” on how long after Artemis 3 the Artemis 4 mission would take place.
