Artemis II Moon Flyby, TfL Tests Smart Tube Safety Tech, and UK Skynet Satellite Row

Al’s back in your ears with a proper mixed bag: TfL quietly tests smarter detection tech on Tube tracks (eyes peeled at Mile End) and roads with radar cameras, while the UK’s next-gen Skynet military satellite plan sparks a very serious “who controls what” debate. Then we go full cosmic — Artemis II swings behind the Moon and pushes past an Apollo-era distance record — before a clean-energy research result hints at squeezing more power out of sunlight and heat. After that, Xbox FanFest puts London on the global gaming tour… and Evercade’s new handheld waves the flag for physical retro in a world that’s trying to subscription-everything.
