Summary

This episode of ‘Dernières Nouvelles des Étoiles’ (DNDE) covers several space news stories. The main segment discusses a recent arXiv paper proposing that if traversable wormholes exist, black holes passing through them could produce detectable gravitational wave signals. The signal would differ from a typical black hole merger, potentially allowing identification. The video also covers the launch of China’s Tianwen-1 mission to Mars, including its orbiter, lander, and rover, and the challenges of landing on Mars. It reports on Virgin Orbit’s investigation into the failure of its first LauncherOne flight, identifying a high-pressure line issue. Astra’s Rocket 3.1 is preparing for its first orbital attempt, and SpaceX is planning a high-altitude test of Starship SN5 while raising significant funds. Finally, the video discusses the upcoming Tom Cruise movie to be filmed on the ISS, with Universal Pictures and NASA cooperation. The episode concludes with a break announcement for the channel.
