Rubio has spent more than 355 days aboard the ISS and will spend more than a year aboard the space station before returning to Earth.
NASA astronaut Frank Rubio now holds the record for the American who has flown the longest space mission in US history.
Rubio broke the record yesterday, September 11, at 1:39 p.m. EDT (1739 GMT) aboard the International Space Station (ISS). He surpassed the 355 days, 3 hours and 45 minutes logged by NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei in 2022.

Cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, are the earliest known life forms on Earth. They are responsible for the Earth’s transition from a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere to the present relatively oxygen-rich atmosphere due to oxygenic photosynthesis.
Ubiquitously found in ponds, lakes, water streams, rivers, and wetlands, they have played a significant role in shaping life.
Qualcomm shares surged 4 percent after deal announcement.
In a major win for Qualcomm, the wireless tech company has struck a new chips agreement with Apple. Their previous deal to provide 5G modem chips was inked in 2019 and was set to conclude this year. The new deal signed Monday means it will continue to be a supplier to the iPhone maker through 2026.
The deal also means that Qualcomm will maintain its patent licensing agreement with Apple, which would mean millions in royalty revenue for the chipmaker. Qualcomm shares shot up by 4 percent soon after the deal’s announcement.
On Earth, only living things make dimethyl sulfide molecules. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just found hints of it in another world.
For a few hours after a star smashes into a supermassive black hole, some of the brightest light in the Universe is produced.
The subsequent flash of radio waves were thought to simmer down within weeks or months of a collision. It turns out we might have been a little impatient to turn our gaze elsewhere.
An international team of astrophysicists has witnessed radio waves bursting from material surrounding an assortment of supermassive black holes hundreds of days after they ripped apart a star, suggesting many collisions could be responsible for a serious case of cosmic indigestion.
The year one hundred two thousand twenty-three. A giant meteorite the size of Pluto is approaching the Solar System. It flies straight to Earth. But as the meteorite crosses Saturn’s orbit, a swarm of miner probes approaches it. The scan revealed no minerals on the object, so the searches returned with nothing.
Meanwhile, the Space Security Center in Alaska military personnel are setting up a laser. The Solar System witnesses a sudden flare and nothing remains of the dwarf-sized meteorite. Now, unless hydrogen miners on Jupiter post videos of another annihilation on social media… This is what the world will look like when humanity finally becomes a Type Two civilization on the Kardashev scale. We’ll have almost infinite energy reserves, the ability to prepare for interstellar flights, or to instantly destroy any threat. But will humanity really be safe? And what can ruin a Type Two civilization?
Using laser light, researchers have innovated a precise method to control individual barium qubits, advancing prospects for quantum computing.
Researchers have pioneered a groundbreaking technique utilizing laser light to control individual qubits made of barium more robustly than any other method currently known. Reliably controlling qubits is a critical step towards actualizing functional quantum computers of the future.

Morgan Stanley says Tesla stock may surge by $500 billion because of it’s Dojo Supercomputer, in lieu of robotaxis and network services.
Dojo can open up “new addressable markets,” just like AWS did for Amazon.com Inc., analysts led by Adam Jonas wrote in a note, upgrading the stock to overweight from equal-weight and raising its 12-month price target to a Street-high $400 per share from $250.
Shares of Tesla, which have already more than doubled this year, rose as much as 6.1% in US premarket trading Monday. The stock was on track to add about $46 billion in market value. Morgan Stanley is one of Musk’s key advisory firms, including on the $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc., now known as X.
The supercomputer, designed to handle massive amounts of data in training driving systems, may put Tesla at “an asymmetric advantage” in a market potentially worth $10 trillion, said Jonas, and could make software and services the biggest value driver for Tesla from here onward.

Space probes that have been launched from Earth currently cannot self-determine their locations in space. To know where they are, they first need to receive signals from Earth which they then bounce back. The signals are then received back on Earth and specially designed clocks then compute the time taken for the signals to travel back. Based on the calculated time, the location of the probe is determined and then communicated back to the probe.
