Musk sends robots with artificial intelligence to Mars
According to Musk, a trip between Earth and Mars is possible approximately once every 26 months. The next opportunity for such a mission will occur around November 2026.
"If everything goes well, SpaceX will send Starship rockets to Mars, along with autonomous robots and artificial intelligence Grok," he said.
On February 18, Musk introduced a new, more advanced version of the chatbot from his company xAI, called Grok-3. In tests, Grok-3 outperformed GPT-4, Claude 3.5, Sonnet, Gemini-2 Pro, and DeepSeek-V3 in areas such as mathematics, programming, and scientific computing.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Musk supported sending an expedition to Mars to investigate a "square structure" observed in NASA images. Some consider this structure to be a natural formation, while conspiracy theorists believe it may be evidence of an alien civilization.

NASA Crew-10 astronauts depart space station after five-month mission
Ammon News - Four astronauts from NASA's Crew-10 mission departed the International Space Station on Friday aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule, heading for a splashdown off the U.S. West Coast on Saturday morning after a five-month crew rotation mission at the orbiting lab. U.S. astronauts Nichole Ayers and Anne McClain, the Crew-10 commander, boarded the gumdrop-shaped Dragon capsule on Friday afternoon along with Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi and Russian cosmonaut Kirill Peskov ahead of a 17.5-hour trek back to Earth to a splashdown site off the California coast. The four-person crew launched to the ISS on March 14 in a routine mission that replaced the Crew-9 crew, which included NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the astronaut pair left on the station by Boeing's Starliner capsule. Astronauts arrive before launch to the International Space Station, in Cape Canaveral Five months after the Starliner mission's conclusion, Wilmore this week retired from NASA after a 25-year career in which he flew four different spacecraft and logged a total of 464 days in space. Wilmore was a key technical adviser to Boeing's Starliner program along with Williams, who remains at the agency in its astronaut corps. The four astronauts in the Crew-10 capsule are scheduled for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean at 11:33 a.m. ET (1533 GMT) Saturday. NASA said they are returning to Earth with "important and time-sensitive research" conducted in the microgravity environment of the ISS during the 146-day mission. The astronauts had over 200 science experiments on their to-do list. Reuters

Apple Intelligence's ChatGPT integration will use GPT-5 starting with iOS 26
Ammon News - OpenAI just announced its GPT-5 AI model on Thursday, but you won't be able to use it with Apple Intelligence's ChatGPT integration until iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe 26, Apple confirmed to 9to5Mac. Apple Intelligence can rely on ChatGPT for things like helping answer certain Siri queries or alongside Apple's Google Lens-like Visual Intelligence feature, but right now, it uses OpenAI's GPT-4o model. Apple has only publicly said its next major software updates will arrive in the 'fall,' and they'll probably launch for everyone next month. But I've asked Apple if GPT-5 will be included with the developer and / or public betas of those updates, and if so, when it might be available. GPT-5 was released to all ChatGPT users on Thursday, meaning that you'll even be able to try it as part of the free tier. OpenAI says that ChatGPT is now used by about 700 million people every week.

OpenAI is practically giving ChatGPT to US government for free
Ammon News - OpenAI is poised to undercut rivals like Anthropic and Google in the race to see its AI tools integrated into federal agency workflows. The AI giant has reached an agreement with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the government's central purchasing arm, to offer ChatGPT Enterprise to participating federal agencies for just $1 per agency for the next year. The partnership comes a day after the GSA added OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to a list of approved AI vendors that can offer their services to civilian federal agencies. The companies will see their tools offered via the Multiple Award Schedule (MAS), a federal contracting platform that lets government agencies access AI tools via pre-negotiated contracts so they don't have to negotiate with vendors individually. It's not clear whether other AI firms are going to offer their services at such a discounted rate, though GSA Federal Acquisition Service commissioner Josh Gruenbaum in a statement encouraged 'other American AI technology companies to follow OpenAI's lead and work with us.' In addition to access to ChatGPT Enterprise, OpenAI is offering unlimited use of advanced models for an additional 60 days. Federal employees will also have access to a new government user community and tailored introductory training resources to get familiar with OpenAI's tools. TechCrunch
