BREAKING: U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of the F-15 fighter jet that was shot down over Iran, three U.S. officials tell Axios.

Why it matters: The shootdown was a nightmare scenario for the U.S. military, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) also racing to locate the missing U.S. officer in southwest Iran over the past 36 hours. Both crew members have now been rescued.

Astronauts on board Artemis II reported a mysterious burning smell coming from the $23 million advanced toilet system which previously malfunctioned after takeoff.

“Regarding the smell, I just wanted to make sure you all were tracking the EGS notes of the kind of burning heater smell that was coming from toilet several times,” astronaut Chrisna Koch, who fixed the toilet on Thursday, radioed to mission control on Saturday, Space.com reported.

“It was never identified as the source, what it exactly was, but it was identified as an unknown smell,” Koch said.

Introducing Critique, a new multi-model deep research in M365 Copilot

Critique is described as a new multi-model deep research system inside Researcher for complex tasks. Microsoft says it separates generation from evaluation: one model handles planning, retrieval, and drafting, while a second model reviews and refines before the final report is produced. Microsoft’s own post says it uses models from frontier labs including OpenAI and Anthropic.
