  • US NASA about Artemis II crew

The US space agency NASA said on Friday the crew of Artemis II were “in great spirits” as they prepared to photograph the moon during their journey.

NASA official Lakiesha Hawkins said the astronauts were “really excited” after a busy first few days, adding they were now able to speak with family and enjoy lighter moments “in addition to a lot of hard work.” She said the crew, now more than 160,000 km from Earth, were working with science teams to plan images during the lunar flyby.

Flight director Judd Frieling said all four astronauts would take photos, which would be shared publicly, while Orion program manager Howard Hu said the mission was key to understanding how systems perform with astronauts onboard.

Launched from Kennedy Space Center on April 1, the mission is carrying four astronauts around the moon without landing and is expect

Humanoid robotics commercialization
China’s humanoid robot industry is marching from technological innovations toward widespread commercial applications. The key to realizing the progress lies in the improvement of robots’ “brain” — the sophistication of their algorithms.With a model of Vision-Language-Action, which is a single end-to-end architecture to achieve precise control from visual perception to its sophisticated joints, humanoid robots can perform highly complex, long-sequence tasks like making a bed. In Beijing, startup Spirit AI is training its robots to learn by imitation.In a scenario of preparation for hot pot ingredients, for example, robots can be trained to exactly put food materials into bowls or other containers as a human being by following the moves of the staff member in a set of wearable devices.mitv

Artemis 2 astronaut voices 'happiness' from space
Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen said he feels "happiness" in space as he and his fellow Artemis 2 crew members continue a journey set to take them around the Moon. Jeremy Hansen, Artemis 2 astronaut said "There's been a lot of disbelief up here, just the fact that what we're seeing, where we are, it's hard to wrap your mind around. I mean that sincerely, it really bends your mind. And the emotions that come along with that, there's a lot of happiness."  The Artemis astronauts have taken in sights of the Moon never before seen by human eyes, crew members reported on Sunday as their spacecraft crossed the two-thirds mark on their journey to a long-anticipated lunar flyby.As the astronauts went to bed in the early hours of Sunday, closing out the fourth day of their 10-day mission, they were nearly 200,000 miles from Earth and 82,000 miles from the Moon, according to NASA's online dashboard.mitv
