NASA is moving forward with plans for in-space propellant depots, a crucial step for long-duration missions and deep-space exploration. The agency's efforts signal a renewed focus on infrastructure development beyond Earth orbit. Separately, the U.S. Air Force conducted a test launch of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). While details of the test are limited, it demonstrates the Air Force's commitment to modernizing its strategic nuclear deterrent. The successful test underscores ongoing efforts to maintain a credible and reliable ICBM force.
