No more fireworks? Big change coming to 4th of July at Pasadena's Rose Bowl
Marking the end of a longtime tradition, the Fourth of July celebration at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena will not feature a fireworks show this year. Instead, there will be a drone show. The move comes as some venues have switched from fireworks to drone shows -- in which a fleet of drones performs a choreographed light show -- to celebrate the 4th of July. But drone shows have fallen flat for some. Notably Redondo Beach and Laguna Beach switched back to fireworks after trying out drone shows, and some promoters of fireworks shows have voiced criticism over efforts to transition to drone shows.

Interstellar Object Accessibility and Mission Design
Donitz, Benjamin P. S., Mages, Declan, Tsukamoto, Hiroyasu, Dixon, Peter, Landau, Damon, Chung, Soon-Jo, Bufanda, Erica, Ingham, Michel, Castillo-Rogez, Julie
Abstract--Interstellar objects (ISOs) are fascinating and underexplored be best implemented using small spacecraft. The unification of celestial objects, providing physical laboratories to ISO detection, orbit characterization, and cruise trajectory with understand the formation of our solar system and probe the learning-based G&C algorithms for accurate low-V flybys composition and properties of material formed in exoplanetary represents a nearly end-to-end simulation and assessment of a systems. The recent Planetary Science and Astrobiology mission to visit an ISO. This process is simulated using JPL's Decadal Survey emphasized that a dedicated mission to an interstellar SmallSat Development Testbed, which determines the feasibility object would have high scientific value. A dedicated ISOs with varying characteristics, including a discussion of state spacecraft could resolve the shape, rotation properties, surface covariance estimation over the course of a cruise, handoffs from morphology, and composition of an asteroid-like ISO. Mass traditional navigation approaches to novel autonomous navigation spectroscopy techniques can probe the gas composition of a for fast flyby regimes, and overall recommendations about comet-like ISO.

Facial recognition startup captured data from 30,000 people at the Rose Bowl
A facial recognition company recorded data on tens of thousands of fans at this year's Rose Bowl game in Pasadena. Tech company VSBLTY set up four cameras around the stadium, specifically targeting areas where'Fan Fest' activities were taking place, and logged the identity of more than 30,000 fans that passed by. The company used an AI-driven product called Vector, which features a digital display with a domed camera placed beneath it that VSBLTY says embodies'the intersection of marketing and security.' Facial recognition company VSBLTY tested its new product called Vector at the 2020 Rose Bowl game in Pasadena, using video monitors placed in the'Fan Fest' area outside the stadium with cameras discretely placed underneath The displays can be programmed to show replays or commercials meant to attract the eye of passersby, something that also conveniently encourages people to give the camera a less obstructed view of their face.

Pasadena Now » Imagining the Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare, at Caltech Tonight
Artificial intelligence promises to streamline many industries and will play a big role in healthcare and bioscience research, two areas where Pasadena organizations are at the forefront nationwide. AI Healthcare is the subject of the Life Summit Panel at Caltech Thursday night, where some of the smartest minds in the industry will gather and discuss the possibilities of AI in the science fields. Nonprofit AI LA Community hosts the event. AI promises to play an important role to eliminate repetitive tasks, creating more precision with researching and analyzing data and generally freeing up smart minds to perform more critical tasks. "Pasadena is soon to be a powerful healthcare and biotech hub," said Todd Terrazas, executive director of AI LA Community.
Nike Wants Your Sneakers to Fit Better, So It's Using AR
Sometime last fall, a man walked into the Nike store in Pasadena, California. He was a runner, it was a running-centric store, and he was there to buy a pair of running shoes just like the ones he had worn in the past. The clerk asked him if he'd be willing to have his feet measured a new way. "I'm a 9," the runner said. "I've always been a 9. Just give me a 9." Still, he relented.

Driverless car firm signs lease for $11M in Pasadena
GM Cruise, a San Francisco-based driverless car company, signed a 47,100-square foot lease in Pasadena. Look both ways before crossing, Pasadena. GM Cruise, a driverless car company, signed a lease earlier this month to occupy more than 47,000 square feet at 465 N. Halstead Street. The San Francisco-based company will pay $11.4 million for the space in the two-story office building. Recently renovated, the complex is also home to tenants OE Waves, PNC Bank, Giant Magellan Telescope Organization, and 24-Hour Fitness.

Mission complete: NASA announces demise of Opportunity rover
During 14 years of intrepid exploration across Mars it advanced human knowledge by confirming that water once flowed on the Red Planet - but NASA's Opportunity rover has analysed its last soil sample. The robot has been missing since the US space agency lost contact during a dust storm in June last year and was declared officially dead on Wednesday, ending one of the most fruitful missions in the history of space exploration. Unable to recharge its batteries, Opportunity left hundreds of messages from Earth unanswered over the months, and NASA said it made its last attempt at contact. "I declare the Opportunity mission as complete," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate told a news conference at mission headquarters in Pasadena, California. The community of researchers and engineers involved in the programme were in mourning over the passing of the rover, known affectionately as Oppy. "Spent the evening at JPL as the last ever commands were sent to the Opportunity rover on #Mars," Tanya Harrison, director of Martian research at Arizona State University, tweeted after a stint at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Flippy the robot hamburger flipper has a new gig -- at Dodger Stadium
This hamburger-flipping robot was so popular when it debuted, it couldn't keep up with demand. Now Flippy is back and even better than before, as USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham shows us in Talking Tech. LOS ANGELES -- Flippy, the burger flipping robot, has a new gig cooking fried chicken tenders and tater tots at Dodger Stadium. The robot debuted earlier this year at a Pasadena, Calif. It's since been retooled and is now working full time, processing "thousands" of burgers daily, from 11 a.m.
