The moon-bound Artemis II mission crew contacted their NASA controllers just hours after launching Wednesday and told Houston they had a problem; their (ahem) onboard toilet would not work. USA Today reports the astronauts worked with the mission control team to address the Orion spacecraft’s toilet faults after an issue arose post-launch and plumbing advice was urgently sought, the agency said. Specifically, the toilet fan, which removes odor and airborne particles from the restricted lavatory space aboard the the 330-foot Orion spacecraft, was not working. NASA said in a blog post the crew “reported a blinking fault light” – like a “check engine” light in…

Bitcoin’s recent price structure has not been easy to sit through. The price action has spent months moving sideways to lower, printing a series of bearish monthly closes since October that have placed the crypto sentiment in fear. That kind of slow pressure tends to feel worse than sharp sell-offs. According to a crypto analyst, instead of treating the recent stretch as a warning sign of more declines to come, history shows that the Bitcoin price is much closer to a turning point than most participants realize.

Artificial Intelligence is here whether you like it or not. The question is no longer whether artificial intelligence will shape American life, but whether we will construct the legal architecture surrounding it to promote prosperity and productivity for all Americans—or permit it to become an instrument of nationwide persecution. A patchwork of state AI laws and regulations is already attempting to ensure the latter.
