futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-19 23:41:00

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

cnbc.com Kif Leswing 2025-09-20 15:37:08

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

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-09-20 15:25:08

You may have heard lately that tattoos can potentially raise your risk of skin cancer. Recent research might complicate that narrative, however, suggesting that tattoos aren’t as harmful to our skin as assumed. Scientists at the University of Utah led the study, published last month in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Contrary to their expectations, they found that people who had multiple tattoos actually had a lower associated risk of melanoma. That said, the findings don’t provid

Donald Trump has many grand plans for America, one of the more ambitious of which is to create a giant invisible space shield that theoretically protects the country from rockets. In January, Trump announced, via executive order, the creation of a “Golden Dome,” designed to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, Trump said, would use a network of satellites to detect and repel aerial attacks on
