On Monday, the federal supreme court of Brazil voted unanimously to uphold the ban on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. Last week, Alexandre de Moraes, one of the court’s justices, ordered the shutdown of X for its failure to comply with Brazilian law and its refusal to appoint a legal representative in the country. The platform went blank over the weekend as service providers scrambled to block access. Justice De Moraes also decreed that anyone using ‘technological subterfuge’ such as a virtual private network (VPN) to evade his ban would risk a fine of €8,000 per day.
US astronauts Barry Wilmore (61) and Sunita Williams (58) are having a ‘Major Tom’ moment aboard the International Space Station (ISS). They arrived on June 6 for an 8-day mission but became stuck in space after their Boeing CST-100 Starliner spacecraft suffered a malfunction with its helium-powered thrusters. Already stranded for two months, the astronauts may have to wait until February - another six months - for a ride home. Yesterday, NASA suggested it may turn to SpaceX for help.
