Inkredible footage of squids launched into space
Instead of Monkey’s or even dogs, SpaceX sent some interesting organisms to the international space station.
Space X launched its 22nd cargo mission to today, have a look at this take off.
Tucked inside the Dragon cargo capsule are 5000 tardigrades, also known as water bears, and 128 baby glow-in-the-dark bobtail squid.
Immature bobtail squid (also known by their scientific name Euprymna scolopes) are aboard the mission as part of a NASA experiment dubbed “UMAMI,” which is short for “Understanding of Microgravity on Animal-Microbe Interactions.”
These creatures will be traveling to the orbital outpost to help researchers answer some key questions about spaceflight.
“Such knowledge could help identify ways to protect and enhance these relationships for better human health and well-being on Earth as well,”
NASA said in a statement.
Scientists say they can tolerate environments more extreme than most other animals, making them the perfect organisms to study under extreme conditions in space.
“Animals, including humans, rely on our microbes to maintain a healthy digestive and immune system,” UMAMI principal investigator Jamie Foster said in a statement.
“We do not fully understand how spaceflight alters these beneficial interactions,” Foster said.
“The UMAMI experiment uses a glow-in-the-dark bobtail squid to address these important issues in animal health.”

SpaceX shifts focus to Moon with ambitious Lunar City plans
Elon Musk shifts SpaceX focus from Mars to a 2027 Moon landing, merging with xAI for AI satellite networks.
Elon Musk shifts SpaceX focus from Mars to a 2027 Moon landing, merging with xAI for AI satellite networks.
Elon Musk has set his sights closer to home—literally. SpaceX is now prioritizing the creation of a self-sustaining city on the Moon within the next decade. The ambitious plan marks a major shift from previous Mars-focused strategies, aiming for an uncrewed Starship landing as early as 2027 to support NASA’s Artemis program.
This pivot comes as SpaceX merges with Musk’s xAI, combining the companies into a massive $1.25 trillion valuation. Musk believes the Moon offers practical advantages for launches, making it a more strategic stepping stone for humanity’s future in space.
Alongside lunar ambitions, SpaceX is also developing satellite networks to back AI technologies in orbit. Despite the excitement, NASA’s Artemis program has faced delays, pushing the first crewed lunar flight to March due to technical issues.

Claude AI is transforming software engineering and productivity
Anthropic’s Claude AI now manages coding tasks, boosting productivity by 50% as engineers shift to oversight roles.
Anthropic’s Claude AI now manages coding tasks, boosting productivity by 50% as engineers shift to oversight roles.
Anthropic has confirmed that its AI, Claude, now handles almost all coding tasks at the company. Engineers are shifting from writing code to oversight and planning, marking a major change in how software development teams operate.
Users report a productivity boost of 50 percent since implementing Claude, highlighting the potential of AI to reshape workflows and day-to-day operations. The shift raises questions about the balance between human oversight and automated code generation.
The move has also affected markets, with shares of Indian IT services companies falling as investors assess the impact on traditional tech roles. Industry leaders stress that while AI can generate code, human input remains crucial for design, review, and strategic decision-making.
