NO.1 Boeing Starliner to conduct manned test flight on June 5th

On June 2nd, local time, NASA and Boeing announced that they plan to re-attempt to launch the Boeing Starliner spacecraft on June 5th for a manned test flight. The Starliner spacecraft's manned test flight mission was canceled on June 1st due to technical problems. NASA said that its team has evaluated the ground support equipment that experienced problems during the countdown on the launch pad and found a problem with the ground power in one of the cabinets. The Starliner was originally scheduled to conduct its first manned test flight on May 6th Eastern Time, but it was postponed multiple times due to technical reasons.

Commentary: The manned test flight plan of the Boeing Starliner is an important progress in the aerospace field and has landmark significance for commercial space travel and future space exploration.

NO.2 Jensen Huang points to the next wave of AI: physical AI

Recently,Jensen Huang said in a speech that the era of robots has arrived. One day, moving objects will be able to operate autonomously. He emphasized the importance of robots and AI in future development. He said that the new wave of AI is physical AI. AI can understand the laws of physics, and robots and physical AI are becoming a reality. It is reported that physical AI refers to physical systems that can perform tasks typically associated with intelligent organisms, and can achieve co-evolution of body, control, form, action execution and perception.

Commentary:Jensen Huang's vision for physical AI heralds a new trend of AI and robotics technology integration, which may have a profound impact on multiple fields such as industrial automation, medicine, and transportation.

NO.3 AstraZeneca's two anti-cancer drugs show positive results

Recently, AstraZeneca's lung cancer targeted drug Tagrisso and breast cancer targeted drug Enhertu significantly slowed disease progression in early trials. In one trial, patients taking Tagrisso saw their disease worsen after an average of 39.1 months, compared to 5.6 months for those not taking the drug. Another trial showed that the median survival for breast cancer patients who received hormone therapy and Enhertu was 13.2 months without disease progression, compared to only 8.1 months for those who received chemotherapy alone.

Commentary: The results of AstraZeneca's anti-cancer drug trials are of great significance to the field of cancer treatment and are expected to provide patients with more effective treatment options.

NO.4 Japanese billionaire cancels SpaceX moon flight

According to foreign media reports, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa has canceled his plans to travel around the moon on a SpaceX Starship. He booked the trip in 2018 and planned to take it by the end of 2023. However, due to delays in the development of the Starship, the flight could not be carried out as planned in 2023, and Maezawa decided to cancel it. It is reported that SpaceX is currently preparing for the sixth test flight of the Starship and plans to send NASA astronauts to the moon in 2026.

Commentary: The cancellation of the SpaceX moon travel plan by Japanese billionaire Maezawa reflects the uncertainty and development challenges of private space travel projects, while also showing the commercial potential of space exploration.

NO.5 New in vitro biological neuron online platform released

Recently, Swiss biocomputing startup FinalSpark has launched an online platform that allows users to remotely access 16 brain-like organs. The company's website claims that this neuron platform is the world's first remotely accessible in vitro biological neuron platform. The company says that the neuron platform can learn and process information, and such biological processors consume only one-millionth of the power of traditional digital processors. Due to its low energy consumption, it can significantly reduce the environmental impact of computing.

Commentary: This marks a significant step forward in biocomputing technology in terms of remote accessibility and low energy consumption, which could have profound implications for AI, data processing and environmental protection.
