Amid a government shutdown, NASA teams and contractors continue work on Artemis 2, but industry officials warn progress could stall as unpaid work strains smaller subcontractors. Kirk Shireman of Lockheed Martin says downstream suppliers may struggle to justify continuing without pay, risking delays to the schedule. While large primes can weather the gap, many small components-valves, screws, electronics-flow to these contractors and could halt if payments stop. Work on Artemis remains under an exemption for national importance, with NASA personnel still on duty unpaid and expecting back pay. A milestone was reached with the complete stacking of the SLS rocket, but funding gaps may push Artemis 2's launch date further into the future.

November 3, 2025, 12:26 AM EST. AYANEO, a cult favorite in PC handhelds, unveils the AYANEO Phone - a device designed to feel like a handheld PC that runs on Android. Rather than a typical gaming phone, it's a hybrid aiming to fuse portable ergonomics with smartphone convenience, potentially docking controllers or magnetic extensions. Key bets include achieving low latency and refined haptics, a triple-camera setup, and an ecosystem that lets users attach accessories without breaking immersion. The brand leans on nostalgia, with retro styling and emulator-like software fronts to stand out in a crowded market. But the concept faces tough headwinds: strong rivals from gaming phones and mainstream flagships, questions about real everyday usability, and whether a niche hybrid can scale to mass adoption.
