Tech Denied, Now Mastered: ISRO's 'Bahubali' LVM3 Roars to Space!

This special report focuses on the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) prowess, highlighted by a launch of its heavy-lift LVM3 'Bahubali' rocket carrying a crucial communication satellite. A key figure discussed is the ISRO Chairman, who elaborated on India's self-reliance in space technology. The Chairman stated, 'First of all I want to tell, the cryogenic technology was a technology which was denied to India by other space-faring nations.' This mission not only involved launching a satellite over 4,400 kg but also featured a significant technological demonstration: the re-ignition of the C-25 cryogenic stage's thrust chamber. This successful experiment is a vital step for India, paving the way for future complex missions that can place multiple satellites into different orbits, solidifying ISRO's position as a master of rocket technology and enhancing India's strategic communication capabilities.

Albania's AI Minister is 'Pregnant'? The Sci-Fi Future of Politics is Here

This special report delves into Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama's announcement about the country's AI-generated minister, Deela, whose name means 'Sun'. Rama announced, 'I owe you to to share for first time that the LA is pregnant and and she's expecting 83 kids.' This symbolic 'pregnancy' refers to the creation of 83 AI assistants for Socialist Party MPs, designed to record sessions, provide summaries, and suggest responses. Appointed to make the public procurement system transparent, Deela is a cornerstone of Albania's anti-corruption strategy and its bid to join the EU by 2030. However, the move has sparked controversy, with the opposition raising constitutional challenges and expressing fears that the AI could conceal corruption rather than eliminate it.
