History soared today as Russia’s Soyuz MS-28 blasted off from Kazakhstan’s Baikonur Cosmodrome, carrying three astronauts and a groundbreaking AI assistant to the International Space Station! 🛰️ The crew – veteran Russian commander Sergei Kud-Sverchkov, first-timer Sergei Mikayev, and NASA rookie Christopher Williams – docked smoothly at 7:34 a.m. EST, ready for a 242-day mission packed with cosmic experiments.
🔥 What’s trending in orbit? Russia’s Sberbank-developed GigaChat AI will debut as the crew’s digital sidekick, handling reports and data like a pro. Think ChatGPT… but for zero-gravity science! 🤖 Albert Efimov of Sberbank calls it a “game-changer” for space teamwork.
🌞 2026 Spacewalks Alert: Mark your calendars for next year’s action! April’s EVA will install solar flare detectors, while June’s maintenance run on the Zarya module keeps the 25+ year-old ISS humming. Bonus: Descendants of space-traveling fruit flies 🪰 (yes, really!) will join the mission – because even bugs get interstellar bragging rights.
This US-Russia collab proves space remains humanity’s ultimate team sport. 👨🔬👨🚀 Stay tuned for starlight updates!
