The Space-X space capsule docked at the ISS at 12:05am EST on Sunday after lifting off on Friday from Florida.
Video feed showing Crew-10’s dramatic docking onto the ISS was shared live on X, the New York Post reported

There are 6 million factories in China manufacturing consumer products. But a new 81000 square metre factory in Changping is doing things differently..
Welcome to the brave new world of 24/7 robot-run manufacturing.
Consumer electronics company Xiaomi unveiled its next-generation smart factory late last year, showcasing a a fully automated, AI-driven facility that has raised the bar for efficiency, precision, and sustainability.
Dubbed a “dark factory”, the facility runs every second of the day without human intervention, integrating AI and big data to streamline production. There is no need for lights. The factory will produce one new smartphone every second.
Last year, the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report predicted that 23 per cent of jobs will go through a tectonic AI shift in the next five years.
The report summed up the next chapter in one word. Disruption.
The data claims 42 per cent of business tasks will be automated by 2027, estimating that 44 per cent of the current workforce’s skills “will be disrupted in the next five years”, with as many as 60 per cent “requiring more training” within five years.
Late last year, the United Nations hit the pause button on letting the unchecked powers of artificial intelligence rule the roost, urging global cooperation instead of simply letting market forces steer the way forward.
In a report published ahead of the UN’s highly anticipated “Summit of the Future,” experts sounded the alarm about the current lack of international oversight on AI, a technology that’s stirring up concerns around misuse, biases, and humanity’s growing dependence on it.
Around 40 experts, spanning technology, law, and data protection, were gathered by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to tackle the existential issue head-on. They say that AI’s global, border-crossing nature makes governance a mess, and we’re missing the tools needed to address the chaos.
The panel’s report drops a sobering reminder, warning that if we wait until AI presents an undeniable threat, it could already be too late to mount a proper defence.
