Russian Cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev has been abruptly removed from the upcoming SpaceX Crew-12 mission, which is currently slated for a 2026 launch, following an alleged security breach involving highly sensitive, export-controlled technology at a SpaceX facility. Reports indicate that Artemyev was found to have photographed proprietary, and potentially classified, technical materials—specifically mentioning rocket engines—without authorization, constituting a serious violation of protocols intended to protect intellectual property (IP).

The Dawn of the Space Age
The course of history changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik 1. The world’s first artificial satellite was about the size of a beach ball (58 cm or 22.8 inches in diameter), weighed only 83.6 kg or 183.9 pounds, and took about 98 minutes to orbit Earth on its elliptical path. That launch ushered in new political, military, technological, and scientific developments. While the Sputnik launch was a single event, it marked the start of the space age and the U.S.–U.S.S.R. space race.

- is it only me, or when he said we don't know if fish are conscious, and at the same time he appears to know there is no intelligent aliens anywhere else in...rzu-rzu
- ..the whole universe.. to me he sounds like a dude who never left home but firmly believes that the Earth is flat.rzu-rzu
- I mean: if you can be born in the wrong body, then you can be born on the wrong planet, maybe the Earth is just most fun and that's why everyone spawns here?rzu-rzu
- btw if animals spilled the beans they are intelligent enough, they'd have to start paying rent, find a job and watch those ads all dayrzu-rzu
- now, who is really intelligent?rzu-rzu

- I was thinking yesterday, what the likelihood of finding a mars rover sized alien probe that landed on earth a million years ago. 0_niko
- We’re finding entire cities buried in the Amazon that are only 1000 years old never mind potential alien probes that have been buried for millennia_niko
- the aliens were the friends we made along the way :)exador1
