 Earlier this week, Apple seeded the first beta of iOS 26.5 to developers. The software update is relatively minor so far, which is not too surprising given that Apple is likely shifting its focus towards iOS 27. Apple is expected to unveil iOS 27 during its WWDC 2026 keynote on June 8, and the update should be released in September.

NASA's Artemis II successfully launched on April 1, with its crew on a 10-day mission to circle the Moon. It's the first crewed Artemis flight and a major step toward humanity returning to our little neighbor in the future. Since launch, the vehicle has separated from its launch system and been manually piloted, testing how the Orion capsule will dock with future lunar landers. There have been some snags, however: The onboard toilet went awry, and Microsoft Outlook has been acting screwy.
Jokes aside, there is something magnificent about seeing humanity taking to the stars once again. That, for all of our worst instincts, we can still come together to solve problems and explore beyond our own horizons.

The Integrity, the name of the Orion capsule carrying Artemis II astronauts on a trip around the moon, has left Earth's orbit. NASA has announced that it has successfully completed a key burn of Orion's main engine. That six-minute firing of the engine provided approximately 6,000 pounds of thrust, which gave the spacecraft the acceleration it needed to set it on its path to the moon. "Today, for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972, humans have departed Earth orbit," said Dr. Lori Glaze from NASA Headquarters in Washington. "Orion is operating with crew for the first time in space, and we are gathering critical data, and learning from each step." Commander Reid Wiseman called seeing "the entire globe from pole to pole" after leaving Earth's orbit a "spectacular moment."
Artemis II launched on April 1 at 6:35PM Eastern time after a couple of delays caused by a hydrogen leak and then a helium issue. It's the first crewed flight of the Artemis program and the first time humanity has ventured beyond Low Earth Orbit after the Apollo program shut down. Within a few hours after its launch, the astronauts reported an issue with their onboard toilet, which crew member Christina Koch eventually fixed. Commander Wis
