We've reached a record number of humans in space, NASA announces

The International Space Station flies in front of the surface of the moon.

Crew onboard the Russian Soyuz capsule, a flight to the International Space Station (ISS) that took place on Sept. 11, became record-breaking space residents this week, as humanity waves up to the now 19 humans living and working in space.

It's the largest group living in space concurrently in history.

The mission included NASA astronaut Don Pettit and cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, who joined nine people already living in the space lab: NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Tracy Caldwell-Dyson, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Barry Wilmore and Suni Williams, and cosmonauts Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin, and Oleg Kononenko.

Another three people — Li Cong, Li Guangsu, and Ye Guangfu — are aboard China's Tiangong space station, and there's a four-person crew onboard the Crew Dragon Resilience, part of SpaceX's Polaris Dawn mission. The four include civilians Anna Menon, Scott Poteet, Sarah Gillis, and Jared Isaacman. Gillis and Isaacman conducted a historic first-ever civilian spacewalk on Sept. 12.

All this history-making isn't entirely good news, though. Two of the record-breaking group aboard the ISS, Wilmore and Williams, were previously set to return to Earth aboard Boeing's Starliner vessel. Surprise propulsion issues left them stranded in space before they were boarded with the ISS crew. The Starliner was sent back to Earth solo, and the two will return aboard a SpaceX vessel.

The previous record of humans in space, 17, was put up last year, after the successful launch of the three-person team aboard China's Shenzhou 16 mission.

This past week, I drove a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4XE Summit 4×4 (a press vehicle courtesy of Jeep) to Moab, Utah ahead of the Easter Jeep Safari event to check out what the Stellantis brand has been working on. Jeep, which hosts media in March every year for its annual off-roading and concept roadshow, put electrification front and center.

There were some fun internal combustion-powered vehicles, like the Jeep Scrambler 392 concept equipped with a 6.4-li

Meta Connect 2024: What to expect, including Quest 3S and new AR smart glasses

Meta Connect 2024 is so close, you can almost taste it. Launching during the week of Sept. 23, the social media giant is expected to rollout hardware and software goodies that will intrigue VR gamer enthusiasts, AI aficionados, and smart glasses devotees. But what, specifically, does Meta have up its sleeves? We have a few guesses based on credible reports. What to expect at Meta Connect 2024 Last year, the Meta Quest 3 was announced in early June, but it got its full reveal at Meta Connect 2023. The headset boasted a sleeker, more comfortable design, as well as new AR capabilities, that made it more appealing than its predecessor. Once again, for Meta Connect 2024, the social media giant is expected to drop a new VR headset, but it's not necessarily an upgrade over the Quest 3. Meta Quest 3S Rumor has it that Meta is planning on revealing a cheaper, more budget-friendly version of the Quest 3 called "Quest 3S." Tweet may have been deleted Whether it was intent
