Saudi Arabia plans to send its first female astronaut to the International Space Station on board a SpaceX ship, Axiom, the company that made the deal, confirmed to Insider.
A representative for Axiom Space said the company was collaborating with the Saudi Space Commission to train two astronauts and prepare them to conduct research in space.
The purchase is part of a larger plan to send two Saudi astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), three anonymous sources confirmed to Reuters.
The sources added that the deal with Houston-based Axiom Space, a private company, was signed earlier this year.
"Space belongs to all of humanity, which is one of the reasons Axiom Space is pleased to welcome our new partnership with the Saudi Space Commission to train and fly Saudi astronauts, including the first female Saudi astronaut," Michael Suffredini, Axiom Space's CEO, said at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Paris.
The two seats are on board a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, which will travel to the ISS, where the Saudi astronauts are expected to stay for about a week, per Reuters.
The astronauts will be the first from the nation to travel to space with a private company. The mission will be the second space trip arranged by Axiom, according to Reuters' sources.
Axiom operates missions to and from the ISS and is also building the first commercial destination in space, Axiom Station, according to its website. The company launched the first private astronaut mission to the ISS in April. The four-man civilian crew also traveled on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spaceship, per NASA.
Private space companies such as Axiom are infringing on a uniquely diplomatic position between the US and other nations, which was traditionally controlled by NASA, Reuters reported.
Earlier this month, Axiom announced it had signed a deal with Turkey's government to send the first Turkish astronaut to space.
Russian cosmonauts were also set to fly to the ISS with SpaceX under a new NASA deal with Russia's space agency, Reuters reported.
SpaceX and the Saudi Space Commission did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment made outside normal working hours.

Enlarge / A pair of ID Buzzes bask in the Copenhagen sunshine. (credit: Jonathan Gitlin)
After what feels like many years of teasing, Volkswagen’s retro-groovy ID Buzz has finally gone into production in Hannover, Germany. US market sales of the electric minivan are still two years away, but it has gone on sale in Europe, and demand has been so strong that VW is doubling production. “And this is without any of the customers seeing, touching, or even being able to drive the vehicle,” VW Commercial Vehicles Chairman Carsten Intra told Automobilwoche.
Built using VW’s new modular EV platform, the ID Buzz has launched in Europe with the shorter wheelbase variant, either as a two-row passenger vehicle or a commercial version that ditches windows and seats for pure cargo capacity. VW Commercial Vehicles says it has received roughly 12,500 preorders from European customers for the ID Buzz, and nearly half of those are for that commercial van.
VW dealers in Europe are about to receive their first demonstration models, and Intra told Automobilwoche that by the end of the year Hannover should have doubled production from 100 Buzzes a day to 200. 2023 is when things get serious, with a plan to produce 100,000 electric vans a year, increasing eventually to 130,000.

The ever-larger lens array may not be the only bumpy thing about the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s camera. Some users are reporting that the phone is making grinding noises and vibrating when they try to take photos with third-party apps like SnapChat and TikTok, severely distorting the camera images and, in some cases, damaging the camera’s hardware. The issue doesn’t appear to be universal, but MacRumors has gathered complaints from users across multiple social media sites and its own forums, as has The Guardian. Some YouTubers have also documented the phenomenon.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that Apple has acknowledged the issue and plans to release a fix next week.
The distortion and vibration is most likely being caused by the camera’s optical image stabilization gyroscope, which when working normally corrects for shaking and hand motion so that the camera can take in a bit more light without taking blurry images (although the iPhone cameras do feature optical zoom, it’s handled using different physical lenses and not one lens with mechanical parts that can physically zoom in and out).

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said on Wednesday that the e-commerce giant doesn't plan on making its corporate employees return to the office via a company-wide mandate.
"We don't have a plan to require people to come back," he said in an onstage interview at Vox Media's Code Conference in Los Angeles, per CNBC. "We don't right now. We're going to proceed adaptively as we learn."
Jassy noted that most Amazon corporate employees are working on a hybrid work schedule and that certain sections of the company, like its hardware and creative teams, are in the office more often, per CNBC.
"I do think there are some things that are harder to do remotely. I think it's a little harder to invent remotely," he said, per the outlet.
"At the end of the day, we have to deliver the right results for customers, and people understand whether they work remotely or in an office that that has to be the number one priority," he said, CNET reported. "And so we're trying lots of experiments, and we'll see over the next year."
In contrast to Amazon's approach, other high-profile companies have required employees to report for work at their offices at least several days a week.
Since April, Google has mandated that its employees in several US locations return to the office at least three days a week, with the option to explore options like "work from anywhere" weeks. Last month, Apple ordered employees to work in the office at least three days a week, inciting a petition from office workers who said they've shown throughout the COVID-19 pandemic that they can produce "exceptional work" from home.
Investment banks such as Citigroup and Deutsche Bank also offer hybrid work schemes to their employees.
On the other hand, Meta — which was then still called Facebook — announced last April that its employees could continue fully working from home even after the pandemic.
Jassy had previously called off Amazon's company-wide plan to require corporate and tech workers to be in the office at least three days a week starting in January.
"At a company of our size, there is no one-size-fits-all approach for how every team works best," Jassy said in October. He said the decision to work from home or in the office would be left to individual teams.
His declaration on Wednesday echoed his comments in January that remote work would continue to be a part of people's lives even after the pandemic. Jassy had referred to how companies have struggled to get all of their employees to return to the office after the Omicron variant prompted another bout of infections and temporary closures.
"I think people will come back in bigger numbers than before, but I think it's not going to look like what it was before," he said, Fortune reported.

]]>Wingstop
Wingstop was among several tech-savvy restaurant chains that became a pandemic winner, logging more than $ 1 billion in digital sales in 2020.
But as consumers deal with record inflation this year, many are cutting back on restaurant visits. That's hurting chains like Wingstop, which installed a new chief executive, Michael Skipworth, in March. In its last earnings call in late July, the company said customer visits are down.
In an interview last week with Insider, Skipworth said he's betting on three plays to reverse that trend – entering the chicken sandwich wars, introducing bundled meal deals, and adding Uber Eats as a new delivery partner. That latter is a significant move as DoorDash has been the chain's exclusive delivery partner for years.
"We have a proven playbook," said Skipworth, who was previously Wingstop's chief operating officer and finance chief.
Skipworth explains his three-pronged approach to increasing sales at Wingstop, which operates more than 1,800 restaurants worldwide. The majority of Wingstop stores are franchised locations in the US.
Three years ago, Popeyes introduced a spicy chicken sandwich that broke the internet and launched a war with Chick-fil-A. Other national fast food chains introduced their versions of chicken sandwiches over the course of a year, including Wendy's, Sonic, and KFC.
Even Taco Bell wanted a piece of the action, launching a chicken sandwich taco in Tennessee and North Carolina in early 2021.
Wingstop didn't move on a chicken sandwich at the time because "we didn't need it," Skipworth said.
Until now.
Last week, the chain rolled out 12 chicken sandwiches offering the same flavors as their wings.
Skipworth said the company rarely adds new items to its menu. Last year, it introduced the delivery-only brand Thighstop, a supply chain hack created to save the brand from soaring chicken wing prices. Before that, he said the previous new menu item the company launched was more than a decade ago when it introduced boneless wings.
Skipworth said he expects the chicken sandwich to bring "meaningful growth" to the brand because price-conscious consumers will be excited about the value of the new menu item.
"We felt now is the right time for a chicken sandwich. We were able to leverage our size and scale and negotiate really good pricing with our strategic supplier partners," Skipworth said.
The a la carte price of Wingstop's chicken sandwich is $ 5.49. By comparison, spicy chicken sandwiches cost $ 5.29 at Chick-fil-A and $ 4.49 at Popeyes. The crispy chicken sandwich at Shake Shack cost $ 7.79, according to prices found at those restaurants in Southern California.
DoorDash introduced its white-label delivery platform, DoorDash Drive, in 2016. Fast-casual chains Wingstop and Chipotle were early adopters of the program.
DoorDash delivers orders made through Wingstop's app or website for a fee.
Skipworth said that Wingstop had used DoorDash as an exclusive delivery partner since at least 2017. He described the nation's top delivery provider as "an incredible partner for us."
But, with the "challenging backdrop in 2022," Skipworth said this summer was "a good opportunity" to look at adding another delivery operator.
Wingstop chose Uber Eats because, like DoorDash, it has been "really smart about building loyalty" to its platform through subscription services that reach millions of consumers. DoorDash's DashPass, for example, has over 10 million members globally.
"We knew there was this consumer base out there that we weren't serving today," Skipworth said of Uber Eats. "And we felt this was the right time to pull that lever in and again, bring more guests into Wingstop through the Uber platform."
While there's some overlap between consumers who use DoorDash and Uber Eats, Skipworth said the data shows that both delivery apps serve "two distinct consumer groups."
He said he doesn't expect a "meaningful impact to our existing DoorDash business."
"While it's only a couple of weeks into the Uber Eats national launch, and without any advertising support, we are encouraged by the early results," Skipworth told investors during a conference call in July.
By adding Uber Eats, Wingstop joins a fray of chains that have been breaking away from exclusive delivery partnerships to boost delivery sales. McDonald's dropped Uber Eats as an exclusive partner in 2019. During the pandemic, Chipotle added Uber Eats as a delivery partner after working with Postmates and DoorDash.
Wingstop developed the virtual brand, Thighstop, last year to save money on soaring chicken wing prices, which reached $ 3.25 a pound in 2021.
By creating a thigh-focused menu, a part of the bird the company never used, Wingstop saved money by buying whole chickens from suppliers. A year later, the price per pound is now $ 1.15 as demand for chicken wings cools, causing excess inventory and deflation, the CEO said.
That is allowing Wingstop to "lean into" adding value deals to the menu, Skipworth said. One example that is driving traffic is the recently introduced Boneless Meal Deal. The $ 15.99 value meal includes 20 boneless wings and a large fry.
"We saw a marked improvement in the sales trends during the quarter," Skipworth said.
In 2021, Wingstop recorded its 18th consecutive year of same-store sales growth, a vital indicator of a company's financial health. By adding Uber Eats, leaning into value, and introducing chicken sandwiches, Skipworth said he's got a playbook that "sets the stage for 19 consecutive years of same-store sales growth."

He has spoken to Sky News and taken to Twitter, however, to respond to his departure from the breakfast TV programme.
To his 7.8million Twitter followers he wrote: “On Monday, I said I didn’t believe Meghan Markle in her Oprah interview.
“I’ve had time to reflect on this opinion, and I still don’t. If you did, OK. Freedom of speech is a hill I’m happy to die on.
“Thanks for all the love, and hate. I’m off to spend more time with my opinions.”

He explained: “To be honest with you, I told my agent immediately, and my agent was like, ‘OK, Tobes, don’t say anything, because, you know, we’ve still got to negotiate next year’s fee.'”
And when the actor tried to argue, his agent reiterated: “‘No, don’t say anything! Because we’ve got to negotiate next year’s fee.’
“So I was like, ‘Alright, cool. I’ll keep it under wraps.’”
However, at the end of season nine, Tobi felt it was the right time to let the show’s creators know his plans.
“I eventually just told my agent, ‘Look, man, I need to say something, because I want to make sure that it’s not going to be a story that’s not befitting of seven years on the show. I want them to build into it,’” he continued.

The Grand Tour’s Richard Hammond is ditching the comfy car seats, high-speed car chases, and presenting duo Jeremy Clarkson and James May for his all-new pop-science venture, The Great Escapists. Richard has joined forces with Tory Belleci, best-known for his time on Mythbusters, for the Amazon Prime Video series in which the two will putting their scientific knowledge to the test as they battle the wilderness to survive on a desert island – all with some nail-biting drama thrown in for added effect.
And with the entire series dropping on Amazon Prime on January 29, fans will undoubtedly binge their way through the show in one go.
However, there is good news on the horizon as Richard exclusively revealed he’d be more than happy to team up with Tory once again, should the show be renewed.
Ahead of The Great Escapists premiere, Richard said when asked of a possible return to the island: “I’d love to go back.
“I’d love to make the show all over again. We had such a great time doing it.”

He continued: “I’ve said lots of times, you know, TV folk, it filters out those who aren’t going to get on, (and they) don’t do it for long. But when you know you’re gonna be away with a bunch of people for two months, you know if I’m a pain in the backside, everybody’s life is worse.
“So everybody gets on. So they [the crew] were fabulous. They were great company, they’re a great bunch.
“We would all at the drop of a hat tomorrow go straight back out and do it all again – as I’m sure would any of us.”
The Great Escapists star did note that although filming took place in early-2020, right before the UK entered its first lockdown following a surge of coronavirus cases, it felt like they were filming in their very own quarantine.
Given the stunning location The Great Escapists is filmed on, it’s no wonder Richard would be welcome to a return.
Opening up about the location, Richard divulged further: “It was off Panama, we researched the world to find somewhere where we knew we’d get the right weather at the right time of year.
“And that would be quiet, that there’d be nobody else on but that we could get 70 people onto, so we had to be able to land the plane there and boats.
“We had to ship everything we needed for the shoot. We were there for overall eight or nine weeks, so it’d be seven weeks of filming with 60 or 70 people, we had to get everything there and be able to live and work.
“So that’s why that place was chosen and it was perfect. We had beaches, a lot of flies, crocodiles, sharks, seawater, and trees.”
