Artemis II is NASA’s last moon mission without Silicon Valley | TechCrunch
/2026/04/02/artemis-ii-is-nasas-last-moon-mission-without-silicon-valley/
This page discusses how Artemis II represents NASA's last moon mission without significant help from Silicon Valley companies. SpaceX's IPO launch coincided with the U.S. sending astronauts to the moon for the first time in 54 years. The article explains that NASA's lunar program originated during the second Bush administration, which developed a massive rocket and the Orion spacecraft. By 2010, budget overruns led to the program being scaled back and paired with a new initiative supporting private rocket companies. This decision secured SpaceX a contract and attracted venture capital into space technology. The Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, the world's most powerful operational rocket, is now carrying three Americans and one Canadian to the moon.

ICE says it bought Paragon's spyware to use in drug trafficking cases | TechCrunch
/2026/04/02/ice-says-it-bought-paragons-spyware-to-use-in-drug-trafficking-cases/
This page reports that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has purchased and used spyware developed by Paragon Solutions for drug trafficking investigations. ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons informed lawmakers that the Homeland Security Investigations unit was approved to deploy "cutting-edge technological tools" to counter terrorist organizations exploiting encrypted communications. Spyware enables law enforcement to access data directly from devices, particularly when encrypted data is inaccessible. However, critics and human rights defenders have raised concerns about the growing misuse of commercial spyware against journalists, politicians, and civil society members globally.
