I dunno what kinda precedence Vijay is setting by not giving any interviews or meeting press. Any information from the Vijay camp is extracted from their PR sources and narratives set online and never directly from the party cadres. Blood boiling stuff

This is 🤯 crazy...
Now your AI avatar can take Zoom calls in real-time, and you don’t even have to sit in front of the camera. Imagine giving an online interview now.
What is real anymore??

SpaDeX Docking Update:

At 15m we see each other clearer and clearer, we are just 50 feet away for an exciting handshake 🤝

[Arunkumar Rathinam @akum86]

@isro Exciting images from SpaDex mission. Hope docking will be successful tomorrow.

SpaDeX Docking Update:

We are further close, we see each other from an Inter Satellite Distance (ISD) of 105m

The latest SpaDeX image from Australia. The distance between the two satellites on 2025-01-11 at 18:58:09 UTC was about 180 m.

@isro Atleast could’ve added picture taken onboard with the tweet.

We have a successful demonstration of ISRO's RRM-TD Walking Robotic Arm in space!! 🦾

This validates the technology for use on the Bharatiya Antariksh Station 🔥

#Update #Space

We’ve all watched the #SpaDeX launch. Docking (nominally) is scheduled for Jan 7 after the two satellites perform a carefully choreographed orbital dance before attempting to dock with each other. In this thread, let’s see how Isro plans to do it. 1/n

I think I've uncovered the next Turing test for AI video: writing.

I've tried this prompt dozens of times on every model: "man writes 'hi' in chalk on blackboard"

None can do it. Veo 2 (below) gets the closest. It's actually frustrating to watch!

@NASAMoon India (@isro 🇮🇳) also provided us with high-resolution observation data of the lunar surface from Chandrayaan-2, which was immensely helpful in selecting the final landing site for #SLIM .
