wired.com Javier Carbajal 2025-10-30 22:52:01

SpaceX's largest and most powerful rocket lifted off this Tuesday, August 26 at 7:30pm ET, reached an altitude of 192 kilometers, and embarked on a suborbital trajectory at more than 26,000 kilometers per hour towards the Indian Ocean, where the spacecraft splashed down an hour after liftoff.

I Spent over $31,900 on Whiteout Survival – Here's Why I Regret It

Hey everyone, I’ve been debating whether to post this for a long time. It’s not easy admitting this, but after stepping back and looking at the numbers, I feel like I need to share my experience—not for myself, but to warn others who might be heading down the same path. I’m using a throwaway account for obvious reasons, but I feel it’s important to put this out there and hopefully help someone avoid making the same mistakes I did.

SpaceX's Starship deploys its payload for the first time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-31 08:50:30

SpaceX has successfully launched the Starship for its 10th test flight after it was delayed a couple of times due to weather conditions and other issues. This time, the company was able to achieve its objectives without the vehicle and its booster exploding mid-test. One of those objectives was deploying Starship's payload for the first time ever. If you'll recall, Starship exploded during its ascent stage in the company's seventh and eighth test flights. The vehicle made it to space for its nin

SpaceX Suddenly Seems Pretty Terrified to Launch Starship After Long String of Super Expensive Explosions

For years, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has been stridently glib when his rockets explode during tests, quipping that the blasts were "just a scratch," a "minor setback," or a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." He's still deploying these jokey ripostes, but there's reason to believe the walls may be starting to close in for SpaceX's efforts on Starship, as more and more of the ultra-expensive spacecraft fail in spectacular public view.

SpaceX Just Sent the ISS a New Way to Stay in Orbit

The International Space Station (ISS) has been in orbit for over 26 years, housing astronauts at an altitude of 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth. But even at that distance, the space station can’t escape the drag of Earth’s atmosphere as oxygen molecules and other gases collide with it, causing it to lose altitude over time. For the ISS to retain its status in orbit, NASA and its partners perform the occasional reboost maneuver. This is typically done using the space station’s own thruste
