Conference keynote lists concrete data and outcomes: Google Summer of Code supports over 1,100 contributors paired with 2,000 mentors and org admins from 183 organizations, ARTEM/ARTEMIS real‑time executive code runs on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter now active for 7,175 sols, SD cards carried names on Artemis 2, and a NASA‑funded team actually turns lunar regolith simulant into blown glass lunar structures in tests. Claims include clear distinctions between automation, autonomy, and agency, and warnings about missing observability, labor costs, and where systems fail.
