The astronauts were only supposed to be up there for 8 days and now have been there for 8 months.
SpaceX could have sent up another Dragon and brought them home 6 months ago, but the Biden White House (not NASA) refused to allow it.
President Trump asked to bring them back as soon as possible and we are doing so.

NASA: Turns out Elon Musk was telling the truth. Biden refused to let the stranded astronauts to come home last year for political reasons.

Stanford just hosted a hackathon. Over 1000 Ivy League and elite engineering students came to build for 36 hours straight.
The reward? $200k+ in prizes.
Here are the winners and crowd standouts we saw at TreeHacks ‘25 @hackwithtrees (🧵):

@wearebloxnl Tja... Als je je er niet in wilt verdiepen moet je ook niet verwachten dat je de juiste beslissingen neemt.

I finally understand (and LOVE) the Camera Control button on iPhone 16.
Last night, I only had 1 hand free and needed to take pics.
Without Camera Control, I wouldn’t have been able to zoom, adjust exposure, or snap the pictures without doing hand gymnastics/dropping my phone.
Everyone was impressed by it.
Also: selfies are infinitely easier to take on the iPhone with camera control. Big difference on the pro max.

Even if you have a super high bandwidth land connection, Starlink is great as a backup option in case of emergencies

Being able to connect in minutes makes Starlink ideal as a backup in an emergency, as well as providing relief efforts with the support they need quickly

The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.
Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.
To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.
Much appreciated, @US_FDA!
