币界网报道:

太空探索技术公司太空任务的机组人员将首次在距离地球数百英里的高空走出他们的飞行器,这是以前只有政府资助的航天机构才跨过的门槛。

这家航空航天公司周三在X(又名推特)上的一篇帖子中表示,随着8月27日发射北极星黎明号任务,SpaceX正在准备下一次任务,旨在研究深空对人体的影响。

SpaceX创始人埃隆·马斯克在推特上写道:“这将是商业公司的首次太空行走,也是半个多世纪以来距离地球最远的一次。”。

据太空探索技术公司称,作为其更广泛的北极星计划的一部分,北极星黎明号将从佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角的美国太空部队基地用太空探索技术委员会猎鹰9号可重复使用火箭发射。龙飞船和北极星黎明队将在轨道上度过五天,在此期间,除了进入太空外,他们还将进行研究。

太空行走将在地球上空700公里(约435英里)处进行,比国际空间站高出200多英里,国际空间站绕地球运行约400公里(250英里)。

由两男两女组成的四人机组人员包括任务指挥官贾里德·艾萨克曼、任务飞行员斯科特·波蒂特、任务专家莎拉·吉利斯和任务专家兼医务官安娜·梅农。

艾萨克森在推特上说:“隔离生活意味着适应我们新的睡眠时间表、研究、程序审查,并在我们准备干衣服和静电火时保持清醒。”他指出了这次任务的训练。“我们偶尔会有飞行时间。”

太空探索技术公司在后续帖子中解释说,北极星黎明任务最初计划于8月26日进行,但被推迟,以便团队有更多时间完成飞行前检查。

太空探索技术公司的首次太空行走还将测试该公司的宇航服如何应对太空真空环境。到目前为止,太空行走是由美国国家航空航天局(NASA)、欧洲航天局(ESA)和俄罗斯联邦航天局等航天机构进行的。

正如SpaceX所解释的那样,宇航员在太空行走时将穿的新舱外活动(EVA)服是其原始舱内活动(IVA)服的下一代。

“EVA套装提供了更大的机动性,最先进的头盔平视显示器(HUD)和摄像头,新的热管理纺织品,以及从猎鹰级间和龙的后备箱借来的材料,”SpaceX说。

SpaceX没有回应Decrypt的置评请求。

北极星黎明号任务将进行的研究项目之一是测试太空中基于Starlink激光的通信,该公司表示,这将为未来的月球、火星及其他地区的任务提供有价值的数据。

马斯克长期以来一直支持人类殖民其他世界的想法,以此确保人类生存到未来。为了使人类成为一个多行星物种,马斯克在7月提出了用自己的DNA出生第一代火星人的想法。

马斯克在4月份的一次太空探索技术公司星际基地活动中说:“关键是,我们需要足够的人和足够的吨位在火星上,这样即使地球发生了什么事情,火星也能生存并继续保持意识。但有些事情可能不在我们的控制范围内,所以我们只想尽快到达火星,成为一个自给自足的文明。”

In the AI Era, What's Left for Bitcoin?

As Bitcoin falls below $60,000, the author reflects on the relationship between AI and Bitcoin, seeing them as two sides of the same coin. In the AI era, the cost of generating content has plummeted, making fake text, images, and videos increasingly easy and cheap to produce. This has led to a fundamental shift: while AI dramatically lowers the cost of information production, it also undermines trust and authenticity online. What becomes truly valuable is not more content, but the ability to verify what is real—"verifiability." This perspective offers a new lens for Bitcoin. Its massive energy consumption, often criticized as wasteful, is reinterpreted. While AI burns energy to enhance "capability" and efficiency, Bitcoin burns energy to produce "verifiability." Its purpose is not to be trusted but to enable a system where no trust in intermediaries—banks, platforms, or developers—is needed. Every transaction and the entire ledger's history is secured by cryptography and a decentralized network of nodes, making it independently verifiable. AI cannot forge a transaction on the Bitcoin network because the system is designed for proof, not generation. The author draws a historical parallel to the Renaissance: the printing press drastically reduced the cost of copying knowledge, while double-entry bookkeeping reduced the cost of trust in commerce. Today, AI is the new printing press, reducing content creation costs to near zero. Blockchain, and Bitcoin as its pioneer, may be the modern equivalent of double-entry bookkeeping—a foundational technology for verifying digital asset ownership and historical records without centralized authorities. Thus, AI and blockchain are not competitors. AI lowers the cost of creation; blockchain lowers the cost of verification. In an age where AI can generate anything, true scarcity may lie not in more content, but in independently verifiable facts. Whether the market will reprice Bitcoin accordingly remains uncertain, but its core value proposition as a "machine for producing verifiability" becomes strikingly relevant.

In the Age of AI, What's Left for Bitcoin?

Author: Sevclub, Seven Research Amid Bitcoin's recent drop below $60k, the author reflects on a growing sense that AI and Bitcoin are two sides of the same coin. Today, encountering any content triggers a new default question: "Was this made by AI?" The cost of generating convincing text, images, and video is now negligible. While the internet lowered information *distribution* costs, AI is crashing information *production* costs to near zero. The consequence is a flood of content where truth and falsehood are increasingly indistinguishable. In this environment, what becomes truly valuable is not more information, but the ability to verify what is real—"verifiability." This reframes the common criticism that Bitcoin "wastes electricity." AI consumes power to produce "capability" (e.g., more powerful models). Bitcoin consumes power to produce something else: "verifiability." Bitcoin's core purpose isn't about belief or trust in any institution, developer, or even its creator. It's about enabling independent verification. Every bitcoin's origin, every transaction, and the integrity of the entire ledger are secured by mathematics, cryptography, and a global network of nodes. AI can fabricate convincing media, but it cannot falsify a transaction on the Bitcoin network. The expended energy makes篡改历史 (tampering with history) prohibitively expensive, purchasing a globally verifiable ledger. The author draws a historical parallel to the Renaissance. The printing press drastically reduced the cost of copying knowledge, while double-entry bookkeeping reduced the cost of trust in commerce—one enabled creation, the other verification. Today, AI is the new printing press, driving content production costs toward zero. The question becomes: what is this era's "double-entry bookkeeping"? Blockchain appears to be the leading candidate. It doesn't verify which news is true or which image is real, but it provides a foundational layer for independently verifying asset ownership and historical records in the digital realm without centralized authorities. Therefore, AI and blockchain are not in competition. AI lowers the cost of *generation*. Blockchain (and Bitcoin as a prime example) lowers the cost of *verification*. One creates, the other proves. Whether Bitcoin ultimately succeeds remains uncertain, facing potential challenges from quantum computing, regulation, and technical evolution. However, the author now sees it less as a "machine for making bitcoin" and more as a "machine for making verifiability." In an age where AI can generate anything, true scarcity may no longer be "more content," but "more independently verifiable facts." Whether the market will price this accordingly is a separate question.
