Anker Prime came out with a Black Myth Wukong special edition docking station that features a beautiful gold and black design with 14 ports, a triple display with one stable 8K output, and more.

During next year’s Artemis III mission, teams will practice rendezvous, docking, and proximity operations in low-Earth orbit
🤣 Chinese brand Yueban has unveiled a smart toilet on wheels
With the press of a button, the device drives itself to the user, eliminating the need to walk to the bathroom. The company says it is designed primarily for elderly people and those with limited mobility.
After use, the gadget can wash both the user and itself before returning to its docking station for a full self-disinfection cycle.
🎮💻 Somewhere, a gamer just whispered: “Finally.”

Introducing Artemis III.
Four astronauts. Three launches. Two dockings. One splashdown.
In 2027, the Artemis III mission will practice docking the Orion spacecraft with two lunar landers in low Earth orbit — the capability we need to return humanity to the Moon’s surface.

Coming soon: one of history’s most complex missions
Tune in on Tuesday, June 9, at 11am ET, to meet the astronauts flying aboard Artemis III, the mission that will test docking capabilities with commercial landers in low Earth orbit — an important step to crewed lunar landings.

A startup built a space robot with octopus arms and gecko grip.
The REACCH system unfurls eight arms that conform to any shape, sticking with micro-wedges that mimic gecko feet, no docking port needed.
It got 172 test runs aboard the ISS.
The mission: grab dead satellites and space junk moving 10x faster than bullets before Earth's orbit becomes an impassable junkyard.
An orbital tow truck, and we're going to need it.

Most docking and cofolding methods assume the protein pocket is roughly fixed: place the ligand into a shape that's already there. That assumption breaks on a lot of real targets, and EV-A71 2A protease is a clear example. When a ligand binds, a loop next to the site moves about 4 Å. Every one of the 802 structures in OpenBind's benchmark needs that rearrangement, which is why classical docking into the unbound structure has only 5% success rate.
Turns out, the real problem isn't "where does the ligand needs to go" it's "what shape does the protein become when this specific ligand shows up." Ligand and protein are coupled, and you have to solve them together.
Pearl predicts that motion from sequence and the ligand alone. On one compound that no other zero-shot method in the benchmark solves, it placed the ligand within 0.28 Å of the crystal structure and got the loop rearrangement right. Modeling induced fit instead of assuming a rigid pocket is a big part of why this holds up on actual programs.

I just found something interesting hidden on the SpaceX website
Go to:
→ Human Spaceflight → Space Station → scroll all the way down → “Play Now”
It’s a live Dragon docking simulator where you try docking with the ISS yourself
And really… this game is way trickier than it looks
You think it’ll be simple until the capsule starts drifting sideways and rotating at the same time 😭
Made me realize how insanely precise real docking actually is. The controls, timing, movement… everything has to be perfect

🚨 STARSHIP V3 UPGRADES
SpaceX just unveiled Starship Version 3
Every major system redesigned:
> payload tripled to 100 metric tons
> all 33 Raptors now fire simultaneously
> 3 grid fins instead of 4, 50% bigger
> hot-stage adapter now fully reusable
> engine shielding deleted
> fuel transfer tube the size of a Falcon 9 first stage
> 60 Starlink V3 sats per launch
> new docking ports for in-orbit refueling
The redesigned internal fuel transfer tube is so massive, it's literally the size of a Falcon 9 first stage.
"We kind of put a rocket inside of a rocket"
