The world’s most-flown rocket may start flying even more. U.S. regulators have completed a key environmental review that paves the way for SpaceX to more than double the number of Falcon 9 launches from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. In addition to the annual launch increase from 50 launches to up to 120, the Federal Aviation Administration’s environmental review also approved a new on-site landing zone that could accommodate up to 34 booster landings per year.

Meal kits have evolved dramatically in the 13 years since Blue Apron launched in the US. Today, nine major meal kit services operate across the country and their convenient dinner packages have become comparatively cheaper and better suited to people with dietary restrictions. Increased competition has brought variety and consumer-friendly makeovers to meal delivery services, but much of the population is still skeptical.

I Had ChatGPT Order Me a Pizza. This Could Change Everything

Ordering a pizza online is wildly more interesting when AI does it. When OpenAI announced ChatGPT Agent, an AI-powered tool that handles complex tasks from start to finish, I didn't fully understand its capabilities. OpenAI says it can be your personal assistant, but that means little to someone who's never had one. I imagine if I did have a personal assistant, I might ask them to order me a pizza. So, that's what I did. Near CNET's New York office is a relatively new spot named Cello's Pizzer
