TECH BILLIONAIRE RETURNS TO EARTH AFTER FIRST PRIVATE SPACEWALK
Techlife News
|September 21, 2024
A billionaire spacewalker returned to Earth with his crew on Sunday (15), ending a five-day trip that lifted them higher than anyone has traveled since NASA's moonwalkers.
-
SpaceX's capsule splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico near Florida's Dry Tortugas in the predawn darkness, carrying tech entrepreneur Jared Isaacman, two SpaceX engineers and a former Air Force Thunderbird pilot.
They pulled off the first private spacewalk while orbiting nearly 460 miles (740 kilometers) above Earth, higher than the International Space Station and Hubble Space Telescope. Their spacecraft hit a peak altitude of 875 miles (1,408 kilometers) following Tuesday's liftoff.
Isaacman became only the 264th person to perform a spacewalk since the former Soviet Union scored the first in 1965, and SpaceX's Sarah Gillis the 265th. Until now, all spacewalks were done by professional astronauts.

AMAZON'S AUTOMATION PLAN COULD REPLACE 600,000 JOBS BY 2033

Internal projections reviewed by multiple industry sources suggest that by 2033, Amazon expects to automate tasks equivalent to more than 600,000 human jobs, effectively reducing hiring needs even as its total output doubles. The long-term plan would see robots, artificial intelligence systems, and machine-learning tools taking over an expanding share of warehouse, logistics, and delivery operations.
