NASA and the Canadian Space Agency introduced the crew of the Artemis II mission Monday just outside of NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The three Americans and one Canadian represents humanity’s first return to the Moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

The Technik Museum Speyer in, you guessed it, Speyer, Germany, had a dream: To bring the massive Boeing 747 to the masses. The only snag was just how to get such a big plane to their location and then prop it up on the roof to seem as if it were taking off from the parking lot. But when it comes to Germans, they…

Senator Joe Manchin is still pissed off that the Biden Administration’s implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act isn’t nice enough to fossil fuels. Bloomberg reports that the Democratic Senator from West Virginia is upping his fight against the President’s signature climate bill.

Ask the typical person how much parking most cities have, and their answer will probably be “not enough.” And it’s easy to see why: When you’re used to every Walmart having 1,000 parking spaces for customers, it can be annoying to not be able to park right in front of the restaurant you’re trying to eat at. But just…

Carmakers face a new problem with EVs, which are so quiet in operation that they can be dangerous for pedestrians and fellow drivers alike. The fully-electric autonomous robotaxis that Zoox is developing (and planning to deploy on public roads soon) present a similar problem, albeit twofold, as the Amazon-backed AVs…

The Federal Aviation Administration is looking to avoid a second consecutive summer of delays in the New York City area. The FAA has stated it is making efforts to mitigate a significant shortage of air traffic controllers. The federal civil aviation agency has asked airlines to reduce the number of flights in and out…

Remember 13 years ago when not-yet-disgraced Lotus CEO Dany Bahar introduced a bunch of new concepts at the 2010 Paris Motor Show? It’s been a long time, but Jalopnik remembers. We also remember how they all got canceled.

Back when Ford first debuted the 2024 Mustang, the company showed off a slew of different racing versions — cars built for everything from NHRA drags to Le Mans. But one form of privateer-focused motorsport was missing from that race-ready lineup: Drifting. Now, we finally get to see what a Formula Drift-spec 2024…

Currently, there are only two states in the U.S. that allow drivers to text while behind the wheel: Missouri and Montana. Every other state in the country has recognized that it’s dangerous enough to outlaw, but for some reason, those two states have been the last holdouts. Soon, though, that could change, as Missouri…

I’m a big fan of the way the 2023 Hyundai Ioniq 6 looks. I know not everyone is onboard with the swoopy styling, but in my opinion its one of the best looking vehicles on sale today. Because of that, I figured we should check out how great it looks from just above every angle. Inside and outside, I’ve got you covered.

It’s happened again: A freight train has derailed, this time operated by Montana Rail Link, sending 25 cars tumbling into the Clark Fork River Sunday, ABC reports. This derailment is just the latest in what seems to be a country-wide epidemic of out-of-control trains. According to new reporting, it’s a disease with a…

Rivian’s planned ramp-up of production is finally starting to bear fruit. The all-electric automaker reportedly built 9,395 vehicles in the first three months of 2023. That number actually beats what analysts predicted for the first quarter for the California-based company, according to Bloomberg.

Modifying a car is a fantastic chance to personalize it. Sure, you can slap the standard Stage 2 mods on your Subaru, but that’s not making the car any more yours — it’s just making it slightly faster and torching your warranty. No, the best car mods are all about making a car fit you better, both in form and in…

Tesla has found that massively slashing prices on your best-selling products is a great way to drive more purchases, Volkswagen wants everyone to know that the upcoming Golf refresh will likely mark the last with a gas engine and China has — get this — too many public EV chargers. All that and more in this Monday…

I know the 1980s were a different time. But sometimes I see things from back then and it shows me just how much cocaine was going around. Take the world of automotive promotional videos.

When we talk about Formula 1 legends, it tends to be very easy to point to the list of World Champions as being the be-all-end-all of the sport’s greatest drivers, but that means missing out on so many racing legends. Some great drivers could put up a hell of a fight, but never won a race. Some battled hard for…

Here at Jalopnik, we’re firm believers that every sports car would be infinitely better if it had no roof. And, clearly, legendary car designer Gordon Murray feels the same way as his automotive upstart has just teased the release of the T.33 Spider, which chops the roof off its awesome V12-powered supercar.

With its unique door arrangement, today’s Nice Price or No Dice Clubman is the most innovative car that BMW has released under its Mini marque. Let’s see if this well-equipped and low-mileage example is worth opening the door to one’s wallet.

Whenever I’m helping someone pick out a new car, I ask four questions: What do you need, what do you want, what don’t you want, and how much are you willing to spend? Those first two questions are important — they split the requirements from the desires, to make a prospective buyer think about what really matters to…

It’s pretty easy to walk into a car dealer and come out with a bucket load of power these days. Hyundai will sell you a Velsoter N that pushes 275 horses and Toyota’s GR Corolla puts out 300 hp. Lamborghini just announced its bonkers 1,001 hp hybrid hypercar and Dodge unveiled a 1,025 hp Challenger. We had to ask, is…

It isn’t often that an automaker will completely break the mold with a new car. Sure, that’s been happening a bit more with the proliferation of electric vehicles, but a lot of times those all feel fairly similar. For the most part, they’re rounded-off boxes with a stubby nose and a rear liftgate. Hyundai went a…
