There's finally a release date for the Spaceballs sequel — but before you get too excited, it's a whole year away. As first reported by Deadline , Amazon MGM Studios announced on Friday night that the upcoming Spaceballs movie will hit theaters on April 23, 2027, right around the 40th anniversary of the first film. Several members of the original cast will be reprising their roles, according to Deadline , including Mel Brooks, Rick Moranis, Bill Pullman, George Wynder and Daphne Zuniga.  Spaceballs: The Release Date.

In space , no one can hear you scream in frustration at your computer. With Artemis II on its way to the moon for a historic lunar mission, many of us are glued to the ongoing NASA livestream of the mission to make sure everything is OK. So far, so good on the important moon mission side of things, but when it comes to email management, the crew ran into a bit of a snag on Thursday. Bluesky user Niki Grayson noticed and clipped a short segment of the livestream involving the crew needing help to deal with Microsoft Outlook problems, just like us regular people back on Earth. right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer [image or embed] — niki grayson ( @nikigrayson.com ) April 2, 2026 at 2:06 AM SEE ALSO: The Earth is glowing in new Artemis II pictures of home The hilariously mundane problem occurred becaus...

HarperCollins is tapping into AI to bring some of its book franchises to life. Specifically, the publisher is teaming up with Toonstar , an AI animation studio, to turn them into digital shows. The first project will be an adaptation of Lisa Greenwald’s “Friendship List” series, which will also be joined by a graphic novel. You’d be forgiven for being unaware of Toonstar, a studio that received some buzzy early on for simplifying typically complex animation pipelines with AI, but has mostly remained under the radar. Its biggest claim to fame is producing StEvEn and Parker YouTube series, which has amassed 3.38 million subscribers and sometimes has episodes reaching around a million views. It’s not something I’ve heard animation fans speaking about, though. And honestly, it was tough to sit through a few minutes of its sub- South Park animation. “By leaning into the [AI] technology, we can make full episodes 80 percent faster and 90 percent cheaper than industry norms,” Toonstar...

Everyone's four favorite anthropomorphic turtles are returning to the world of video games. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City will be released on April 30 for the Meta Quest, Steam VR and Pico. It is made by VR game company Cortopia Studios and will retail for $25.  Empire City is a first-person action game that you’ll be able to play solo or co-op with up to four people. And yes, that means all four of the turtles are playable. We've seen a lot of the quartet flexing their fighting form in games over the years, but this is their first time appearing in a standalone VR title. In addition to the shelled heroes, the first part of the new game's trailer highlights other familiar figures from the series, such as Karai of the Foot Clan and ripped rhino Rocksteady. And of course April is there providing pizza and intel.

For the first time in 50 years, human beings are more than 1,000 miles away from Earth as the historic Artemis II mission continues. The four astronauts aboard NASA’s Orion spacecraft — Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist Jeremy Hansen — are currently circling the Earth and preparing for a potential translunar injection later today. As they look toward the moon, NASA also shared a picture looking back at the Earth, which appears as a crescent in the black of space. While it might look like the moon at first, this picture depicts the Earth as seen from the Orion spacecraft.

For the first time, a woman and a Black astronaut are headed into deep space , breaking through the glass ceiling of low-Earth orbit as they attempt to circle the moon . At 6:35 p.m. ET on April 1, NASA 's 32-story Space Launch System lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. With the horsepower of 160,000 Corvettes, the rocket sent up a column of fire and vapor over the Atlantic Coast. This was no April Fool's Day gag, but a signal that the United States has returned to human-led space exploration.  More than a half-century after NASA last ventured farther than the International Space Station, Artemis II — including mission specialist Christina Koch and pilot Victor Glover — is on its way toward the moon. The crew is also composed of Commander Reid Wiseman and mission specialist Jeremy Hansen, who makes history in his own right as the first non-American on a lunar spaceflight. Hansen flies for the Canadian Space Agency.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a brand new malware threat called CrystalX RAT, which is making its way around private hacker group chats and forums. What sets CrystalX RAT apart from other malware? It's an all-in-one hacker tool that includes data stealing and spyware capabilities. Furthermore, perhaps just in time for April Fools' Day, CrystalX RAT also has unique "prankware" capabilities that can mock and troll its victims in real-time. On April 1, researchers with cybersecurity firm Kaspersky's Global Research & Analysis Team (GReAT) published a new report on a new malware they recently discovered in March called CrystalX RAT.  The team found evidence of this new malware dating back to January, and it was being offered within hacker communities as a MaaS, or Malware-as-a-Service, tool. This means that the developers of CrystalX RAT were offering the malware to less tech-savvy bad actors as a paid subscription service. RAT stands for Remot...
