In the next phase, called Buzz, we’ll be going beyond basic start-up tasks towards more developer functional testing relating to smart contracts as we continue preparing for our mainnet release,” commented Ethan Illingworth, our Blockchain Product Manager.īuzz would see the official launch of the Cudos Network ecosystem.

We’ve been working hard with engineers to improve the network based on the feedback we received and the insights we collected during this first phase. “The Cudos team are excited about the progress to date with the successful completion of phase one of our incentivised testnet, Project Artemis. We will review and analyse all responses and start distributing rewards to validators over the coming weeks and to developers after the mainnet launch in early 2022. Over 22,000 developers expressed their interest to join this phase, giving us many valuable insights for improving and evolving their network. This first Apollo phase focused on a variety of starter tasks for onboarding Validators and developers, as well as collecting feedback and growing the community. This follows the successful completion of phase one, which saw thousands of developers and validators helping improve our decentralised cloud computing network.Īt the end of September, we launched the first phase of our incentivised testnet, Project Artemis. London, England, 8th November, 2021 - We are launching phase two of our incentivised testnet, Project Artemis, today, Monday, the 8th of November. Readers should conduct their own research prior to taking any actions related to the content mentioned in this article. Specifically, space flight programs in the last 15 years have taken on average about 8.5 years from contract award to first operational flight and the HLS Program is attempting to do so in about half that time."Īnd then there are the spacesuits, flight versions of which might be available by May 2025 "at the earliest.Disclaimer: This is a sponsored press release.

The OIG drily noted: "We found the HLS development schedule to be unrealistic when compared to other major NASA spaceflight programs. The core stage for Artemis I required a retest after a premature shutdown, adding more months to the schedule and making a 2021 launch look ever more unlikely despite the recent stacking of the Artemis I rocket in Kennedy Space Center's Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB).Īmbitious timelines, set for the Human Landing System (HLS) being developed by SpaceX, were also questioned. To be fair to NASA, the 2024 deadline was somewhat arbitrary, and factors such as the pandemic and severe weather events have hampered the development of its SLS. Nothing says 'We believe in you' like NASA switching two 'nauts off Boeing's Starliner onto SpaceX's Crew Dragon.So it is possible for Jeff Bezos to lose: Court dismisses Blue Origin complaint about Moon contract award to Elon Musk.NASA delays crewed Moon landing until 2025, citing technical infeasibility.Even the recovery capability of the Shuttle-derived Solid Rocket Boosters have been sacrificed on the altar of Artemis. NASA had a reuseable spacecraft in the form of the Space Shuttle and has been busily taking the orbiter's main engines and turning them into marvels of expendability. "All components are expendable and 'single use' unlike emerging commercial space flight systems," the report observed.
