First commercial spacewalk paves future missions to Moon and Mars, AI tools used to fabricate resumes and generate fake listeners for money

Four civilian astronauts led by billionaire Jared Isaacman returned to Earth on Sunday after spending five days in space and completed the first-ever commercial spacewalk.

While none of the crew had received traditional astronaut training, they performed the spacewalk while orbiting nearly 740 kilometres above Earth.
