Ignatiev/Getty Images Sci-fi authors and screenwriters have long envisioned AI companions helping humans as they explore the cosmos. Sometimes things go well (Commander Data was a friendly and reliable Starfleet officer), other times not so much ("I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave"). Now, AI-assisted spacefaring -- like so many other concepts that, not so long ago, seemed utterly far-fetched -- could soon become a practical reality.

I do a quick check of email and Slack to make sure nothing is on fire, then settle down to a relaxed first cup of coffee. Once caffeinated, I'm fairly gruntled.
