Starship will soon fly over towns and cities, but will dodge the biggest ones

Some time soon, perhaps next year, SpaceX will attempt to fly one of its enormous Starship rockets from low-Earth orbit back to its launch pad in South Texas. A successful return and catch at the launch tower would demonstrate a key capability underpinning Elon Musk's hopes for a fully reusable rocket. In order for this to happen, SpaceX must overcome the tyranny of geography. Unlike launches over the open ocean from Cape Canaveral, Florida, rockets departing from South Texas must follow a narr

Months after US president Donald Trump signed off on a long-range missile defense system called the "Golden Dome," officials and the public are still in the dark on how to finish the project — and experts warn its price tag will be far higher than previously disclosed. After being given a 60-day deadline to come up with a plan for the project, Space Force General Michael Guetlein said the blueprint is complete — but wasn't able to give any details about the scope, timeline, or cost, Bloomberg r

Microsoft said on Friday that it will increase the recommended retail price of several Xbox consoles in the U.S. starting in October because of "changes in the macroeconomic environment." The company said it would not increase prices for accessories such as controllers and headsets, and that prices in other countries would stay the same. While Microsoft didn't explicitly attribute the increase to the Trump administration's tariffs, many consumer companies have been warning for months that high

Scientists Find a Tattoo–Cancer Link—But It’s Not What You’d Expect

You may have heard lately that tattoos can potentially raise your risk of skin cancer.

Scientists at the University of Utah led the study, published last month in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) cannot be separated entirely from the general development of technologies that go back to the ancient world. Like the abacus, the machines we today call AI reproduce and automate our formal and cognitive abilities, albeit at higher levels of generality.
