SpaceX’s Crew-9 Crew Dragon spacecraft 'Freedom,' (Александр Горбунов), was relocated from the forward-facing port to the space-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module, on 3 November 2024. Aboard for the maneuver were NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Butch Wilmore, Suni Williams and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov. The relocation makes way for the arrival of SpaceX’s CRS-31 Dragon cargo spacecraft, scheduled to launch no earlier than 4 November 2024. Freedom previously supported the Crew-4, Ax-2, and Ax-3 missions

xAI and NVIDIA have unveiled Colossus, the world’s largest AI supercomputer cluster. Built in just 122 days in Memphis, Tennessee, and powered by NVIDIA’s groundbreaking Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, “Colossus is the most powerful training system in the world,” Elon Musk wrote on X. This supercomputer, housing 100,000 NVIDIA Hopper GPUs, supports xAI’s Grok large language models and brings ultra-fast AI capabilities. The Spectrum-X platform delivers 95% data throughput with zero latency degradation -- levels traditional Ethernet can’t achieve -- redefining scalable, high-performance AI

Blue Origin's reusable New Shepard booster-capsule combo lifted off from the Jeff Bezos company's Launch Site One in West Texas, on 23 October 2024, at 1527 UTC. This was the first mission for Blue Origin’s second human-rated New Shepard (NS5), with the new crew capsule. NS-27 had 12 payloads: five on the booster and seven inside the crew capsule

“Usually the disinformation we saw was pro-Trump... We'll investigate, and then it goes just up to another team to take it [the post] down,” admits Matthew Fowler, a Software Engineering Manager at Meta, during an undercover date with an O’Keefe Media Group journalist. Fowler emphasized that Meta’s investigations often rely on mainstream media for verification, stating, “The news is going to do their job, and then based on what the outlets say… you have to trust that.” Plamen Dzhelepov, a Machine Learning Engineer at Meta, agreed, “Meta has the right to suppress anything,” acknowledging the company’s political bias by noting, “they're biased if they do that against the Republicans.” Dzhelepov detailed Meta’s censorship capabilities, confirming they target “crazy conspiracy right-wing people,” actively demoting their opinions. Michael Zoorob, a Data Scientist at Meta, described the fact-checking process, stating, “the fundamental problem is that... the vast majority of what fact-checkers label as false is shared by conservatives,” admitting that any policy demoting content labeled false by fact-checkers disproportionately affects conservatives. When addressing misinformation, Dzhelepov explained Meta's approach: “it's either censored or it says a [community note] thing, where it says, 'this is disinformation, it's probably fake' under the post," adding that Meta “actually suppresses certain voices.” Zoorob also recalled how Meta had downranked the Hunter Biden laptop story upon the FBI's warning, stating, “We just downranked it,” making the post less visible in users' feeds.”

"Say your uncle in Ohio said something about Kamala Harris is unfit to be a president because she doesn't have a child, that kind of sh*t is automatically demoted,” reveals Meta Senior Software Engineer, Jeevan Gyawali, to an undercover O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) journalist during a hidden camera date. He confirmed, “The person would not be notified,” but would see a decline in their post engagement and impressions, explaining that Meta’s “Integrity Team” is responsible for controlling content through “civic classifiers,” a system that “shadowbans” posts without notifying users. Gyawali also revealed a specialized Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) team that was created at Meta, stating, “There is a SWAT team that's already set up since April… just to think about all the scenarios of how the platform could be abused.” When asked if Meta is doing their due diligence to protect democracy from disinformation, Gyawali ensured “that’s all going to be demoted 100%.” When asked, “You guys [Meta] have the ability to influence the outcome of the election?” Gyawali confirmed, “Yes,” admitting Meta’s power to sway political outcomes. When asked if Mark Zuckerberg, Co-Founder and CEO and Meta, supports Meta’s political influence and agenda to help the Democratic Party, Gyawali answered, “100%.”
