Star Citizen Tops $1B in Crowdfunding After 14 Years, Yet 1.0 Release Date Remains Elusive

Star Citizen has surpassed $1 billion in crowdfunding after 14 years, but Cloud Imperium Games still has no announced release date for version 1.0. The latest Alpha 4.8 update introduces a full economy, persistence reset, refueling contracts and a six‑phase Tactical Strike Group on the Nyx base, with refueling mechanics and new gameplay loops added. Developer Chris Roberts has previously floated 2027–2028 for 1.0 and a 2026 window for Squadron 42, though delays remain possible amid competition like GTA 6.

Simulated astronaut missions reveal insights for Mars exploration.

Anastasia Stepanova, a PhD student in space resources at the Colorado School of Mines, has participated in multiple missions on Earth that simulate the conditions human crews would experience during spaceflight or long-duration missions on the moon or Mars. Stepanova has already chalked up an enviable track record in grappling with the effects of isolation and confinement on human psychology, physiology, and team dynamics. She is applying the knowledge she gained from simulated space missions to increase the productivity and well-being of crews on the moon and Mars.
