SpaceX rocket launches four astronauts to ISS
After a 16-hour flight, the astronauts are scheduled to rendezvous with the orbiting laboratory at an altitude of 420 kilometers (250 miles) above Earth on Tuesday. During their time in space, they will conduct countless experiments within the microgravity environment of the platform. Four astronauts have embarked on a six-month mission in orbit around the International Space Station.
Gemini AI: ‘Deadnaming’ as harmful as releasing virus
Even though Google claims to have eliminated the liberal biases from Gemini, its AI programs continue to produce contentious and informed responses. The initial outcry commenced a month ago when the image generator developed by the technology behemoth exhibited historically erroneous depictions of Black Founding Fathers and ethnic minority Nazis during the 1940s in Germany.
Graphic shows planets’ grim fate as Sun dies
An extensive enumeration of potential catastrophes appears, from robot annihilation to a comprehensive nuclear conflict. However, if those dreadful destinies foreshadow us, there is one catastrophe that the planet cannot avert. A horrifying diagram illustrates the Sun's transformation into a colossal "red giant" star, which will engulf the entire solar system as we know it.
ISS Russian segment air leak, crew safe
The occurrence of a breach on the International Space Station is not unprecedented. NASA has confirmed that a Zvezda module on the Russian side of the orbiting laboratory is releasing air through a 3-foot-diameter hole. As a result of the module's isolation from the remainder of the space station, the seven astronauts aboard are thankfully not at risk.

FBI, Homeland Security probe AT&T outage for hack
Federal and security agencies are investigating if a cyberattack, notably a DDOS attack, caused the recent widespread U.S. cellular disruption. While the downtime could owe to hackers targeting 911 services or extracting data, a severe solar flare coinciding with the outage raises alternate theories. Past incidents suggest cloud misconfiguration and cybersecurity lapses as potential culprits. The true cause remains undetermined.
Elon Musk: Neuralink patient moves mouse by thinking
The initial human recipient of a Neuralink brain implant appears to have fully recovered and can now manipulate a computer mouse with their thoughts, according to Elon Musk, the founder of the company. "We are aware of neural effects, but progress is positive, and the patient appears to have made a full recovery," Musk said during a Spaces event on X (formerly known as Twitter).
America’s EV boom busts; layoffs and project pauses
As part of a contemporary gold rush, the American public was persuaded that electric vehicles would bring manufacturing companies and a surge in employment opportunities to small communities across the nation. However, due to declining interest in electric vehicles (EVs), lithium and nickel facilities, which produce the metals used in lithium-ion batteries for EVs, are implementing cost-cutting strategies such as massive redundancies and suspensions of operations.
Two first desktop computers, over 50 years old, discovered
Even if you consider your desktop computer ancient, these relics are no less remarkable. Two of the earliest desktop computers ever created were discovered in London during a house clearance. This fortuitous discovery brought to light two of the three remaining Q1 computers in existence worldwide.
Google joins space methane mapping mission
The new satellite will orbit the Earth at 300 miles, completing 15 orbits daily. Methane gas, a significant contributor to global warming due to its heat retention capability, is largely emitted by farming and waste disposal. However, this Google initiative will focus on emissions from oil and gas facilities.
