A full crew complement returned to the International Space Station on Valentine's Day, while NASA grapples with fueling issues for its Artemis II mission and OpenAI welcomes the creator of the OpenClaw AI program. The Crew Dragon spacecraft docked on Saturday evening, bringing the total number of astronauts on board to seven, according to Ars Technica. Meanwhile, NASA is working to resolve a hydrogen fuel leak that cut short a practice countdown run for the Artemis II mission, and OpenAI announced the hiring of Peter Steinberger, creator of the open-source AI program OpenClaw.
The arrival of four new astronauts as part of the Crew 12 mission – Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway of NASA, Sophie Adenot of the European Space Agency, and Andrey Fedyaev of Roscosmos – marked the return to a full crew complement. The number of astronauts on the station fluctuates depending on crew rotations and private astronaut visits, as reported by Ars Technica.
NASA is also facing challenges with its Space Launch System rocket. Administrator Jared Isaacman stated that the agency is seeking solutions to the fueling problems before the Artemis III mission, which is slated to be the first crewed mission to land on the Moon in over 50 years. Artemis II, currently on the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is preparing for a second countdown rehearsal as early as next week to confirm the resolution of a hydrogen fuel leak, according to Ars Technica.
In the realm of artificial intelligence, OpenAI has hired Peter Steinberger, the creator of the popular open-source AI program OpenClaw. Steinberger will join OpenAI to contribute to the development of the next generation of personal agents. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on X that OpenClaw will transition to a foundation and remain open-source, with OpenAI continuing to provide support. Steinberger expressed his excitement about the move, stating, "Its always been important to me that OpenClaw stays open source and given the freedom to flourish." He added that he felt OpenAI was "the best place to continue building," as reported by Fortune.
These developments come as researchers continue to explore the history of Mars. A recent study, according to Ars Technica, suggests that Mars was warm and wet billions of years ago, challenging previous theories. This finding has implications for the potential development of life on the planet during the Noachian epoch, which extended from approximately 4.1 to 3.7 billion years ago.
