Overall, the situation worked out well. A fault was discovered and action taken...SpaceX and NASA will be happy...and once Dragon recovered, an investigation can commence for improvements. The more flights that tally, the more "issues" will pop up, the more that get addressed. 

 

I will be happy next round when autonomous guidance used.

Flight controllers will use the Canadarm2 robotic arm to detach the Dragon capsule, from the Earth-facing side of the station's Harmony module. After they maneuver Dragon into place, Expedition 50 astronauts Thomas Pesquet of ESA (European Space Agency) and Shane Kimbrough of NASA will release it at 5:11 a.m.

Dragon’s thrusters will be fired to move the spacecraft a safe distance from the station before SpaceX flight controllers in Hawthorne, California, command its deorbit burn about 10 a.m. The capsule will splash down about 10:54 a.m. in the Pacific Ocean

Daily Breeze article on flying Dragons critical and sensitive cargo to NASA on a charter after its return to port.

 

Why? They had samples of MRSA and other superbugs (antibiotic resistant bacteria) on ISS to see what effect space would have on them. Those experiments are completed, so...

    • Autonomous post-training loop placed 8th of 4,000 and then rewrote its own evaluation strategy. An autonomous AI system built by researchers at Amazon's A-EVO-Lab completed a full post-training run on a 30 billion parameter NVIDIA Nemotron model — with no human in the loop, across four rounds running over multiple weeks — and then did something its designers had not planned for: it detected that its own internal evaluation metric had become misleading and redesigned the search strategy it was using to improve itself. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319123/20260626/nvidia-ai-trained-itself-30b-model-corrected-its-own-broken-metric-mid-run.htm
    • Grok Adult Content Tops 10 Billion Images Monthly More than half of all traffic flowing through Grok, Elon Musk's flagship AI product, now comes from users requesting pornographic images, explicit videos, and **** roleplay https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319142/20260626/grok-adult-content-tops-10-billion-images-monthly-xai-engineers-admit-csam-has-no-fix.htm
    • If Ford would stop hiring SUITS to run the company, and put CAR GUYS back in charge perhaps they could do better. Heck, the only CAR they produce today is the Mustang. Hey Ford! Not everyone needs/wants an overpriced SUV or pickup truck that is so tall you have to have a step ladder to get in and out of it.
    • Amazing how some will just jump all over something. Probably the same people that thought Musk was a "tech god" before he saddled up with "bad orange man". Before, they worshiped at his feet, including a lot of so called hollywood types. Now, because he fell off the plantation truck, they toss him under the bus.
