The race to the moon is back — NASA needs to get serious to beat the Chinese Just before my final, 2001 shuttle mission to help build the International Space Station, I asked the NASA chief of human spaceflight when he thought we’d return to the Moon. "Oh, probably not until 2010," he answered. I was floored — how could it possibly take that long to jump from the shuttle and ISS to the Moon? After all, we’d landed there six times between 1969 and 1972.

NASA begins a practice countdown for its first astronauts moonshot for 50 years NASA began a two-day practice countdown Saturday leading up to the fueling of its new moon rocket, a crucial test that will determine when four astronauts blast off on a lunar flyby. Already in quarantine to avoid germs, Commander Reid Wiseman and his crew will be the first people to launch to the moon since 1972. They will monitor the dress rehearsal from their Houston base before flying to Kennedy Space Center once the rocket is cleared for flight.

I cancelled my ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini subscriptions for Claude Although it's been over 2 years since the "AI boom" truly began, there's still a wild number of people who exclusively rely on ChatGPT. The funny part is that this isn't because it's objectively the best option. Instead, it's mostly habit, and the fact that most people just never bothered trying alternatives that might actually fit their needs better.

Elon Musk's SpaceX applies to launch 1m satellites into orbit Elon Musk's SpaceX has applied to launch one million satellites into Earth's orbit to power artificial intelligence (AI). The application claims "orbital data centres" are the most cost and energy-efficient way to meet the growing demand for AI computing power. Traditionally, such centres are large warehouses full of powerful computers which process and store data. Musk's aerospace firm claims processing needs due to the expanding use of AI are already outpacing "terrestrial capabilities".
