NASA delays Artemis mission to moon because of extreme cold at the launch site

Bracing for a weekend cold snap in Florida, NASA delayed a dress rehearsal fueling test for its Artemis II moon rocket, moving it from Saturday to Monday, and pushed the long-awaited launch back at least two days to no earlier than 11:20 p.m. EST on Feb. 8.At the same time, NASA is gearing up to launch a fresh crew to the International Space Station to replace the four Crew 11 fliers who cut their mission short and returned to Earth on Jan. 15 due to a medical issue with an unidentified crew member.Crew 12, launching atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, will be ready to blast off as early as Feb. 11. But if the Artemis II mission gets off on Feb. 8 as NASA hopes, Crew 12 commander Jessica Meir, pilot Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot and cosmonaut Andrey Fedaev will stand down until after the Artemis II crew returns to Earth. In that scenario, Crew 12 would launch around Feb. 19. NASA plans to launch Crew 12 to the International Space Station as soon as possible to replace four crew members who came home earlier this month because of a medical issue. From left: cosmonaut Andrey Fedaev, pilot Jack Hathaway, commander Jessica Meir and European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot. SpaceX If Artemis II takes off on Feb. 10 or 11, the only other opportunities left in the February launch period, then Crew 12 could take off 11 days later. If Artemis II runs into major problems and slips to the next launch period in March, Crew 12 could launch as early as Feb. 1

DEVELOPING: Amazon's AI 'Melania' Portrait Sparks Outrage!

Amazon's new AI-generated documentary, "Melania," is drawing criticism for its perceived airbrushing of the former First Lady's image and exorbitant production costs. The film, directed by Brett Ratner, focuses on Melania Trump's preparations for her husband's second inauguration, highlighting the intricate planning involved in her role, but critics argue it presents a sanitized and idealized version of events. This raises questions about the ethical implications of using AI to create potentially biased or revisionist historical narratives.
