2 months agoNASA taps Claude to conjure Mars rover's travel plan
It did so with the blessing of engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who decided to delegate the meticulous work of route planning to Anthropic's AI model. This involves consulting orbital and surface imagery of Mars in order to set a series of waypoints to guide the rover's movements. Once plotted, this data gets transmitted about 140 million miles or 225 million kilometers - the average distance from Earth to Mars - where it's received by Perseverance as a navigational plan.

2 months agoElon Musk said we'd reach Mars in 2026. Now, he says SpaceX is building a city on the moon.
SpaceX is prioritizing building a self-growing moon city because lunar launch cycles allow faster iteration, while Mars development remains planned for five to seven years.

2 months agoNASA used Claude to plot a route for its Perseverance rover on Mars
Since 2021, NASA's Perseverance rover has achieved a number of historic milestones, including sending back the first audio recordings from Mars. Now, nearly five years after landing on the Red Planet, it just achieved another feat. This past December, Perseverance successfully completed a route through a section of the Jezero crater plotted by Anthropic's Claude chatbot, marking the first time NASA has used a large language model to pilot the car-sized robot.

2 months agoElon Musk Pivots to the Moon, Calls It the Fastest Path to Saving Civilization
After years of dismissing Earth's neighbor as a "distraction," the SpaceX CEO announced on X that the company has officially shifted its primary focus toward building a "self-growing city" on the moon. While Mars remains the ultimate goal, Musk now argues that the lunar surface offers a much faster "backup" for human consciousness. Musk pointed out that while the stars must align every 26 months for a six-month trek to Mars, the moon is available every 10 days and is only a 48-hour commute away.
