Rocket Report: SpaceX achieved daily launch this week; ULA recovers booster

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-27 06:39:03

Welcome to Edition 8.08 of the Rocket Report! What a week it's been for SpaceX. The company completed its first successful Starship test flight in nearly a year, and while it wasn't perfect, it sets up SpaceX for far more ambitious tests ahead. SpaceX's workhorse rocket, the Falcon 9, launched six times since our last edition of the Rocket Report. Many of these missions were noteworthy in their own right, including the launch of the US military's X-37B spaceplane, an upgraded Dragon capsule to b

DJI Mic 3 Review: The Best Wireless Mic Gets Better

wired.com Sam Kieldsen 2025-10-27 14:00:00

When DJI announced the Mic 3 just 18 months after the excellent Mic 2, I didn’t really get it. The Mic 2 has been my own go-to wireless microphone (bought with my own money, no less) for over a year now, and it still feels new to me. What could justify yet another iteration so soon? It took about five seconds with the Mic 3 in my hands to understand exactly what DJI was thinking. The transmitter units are dramatically smaller and lighter than those on the Mic 2, so much so that they feel like e

Spiders Hijack Fireflies to Create Devious Glowing Death Traps

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-28 06:25:48

Fireflies glow to attract mates. As new research shows, however, a certain species of spider has learned to take advantage of this luminous natural phenomenon. In a Journal of Animal Ecology paper published August 27, ecologists report that the sheetweb spider (Psechrus clavis) appears to exploit firefly luminescence to attract more prey. Observational analysis and lab experiments revealed that, by using firefly light as bait, the nocturnal predators improved their hunting success. This is the

Yes, ‘Alien: Earth’ Is Actually Going There With the Xenomorphs

When Alien: Earth started, the main novelty was the idea of seeing an alien on Earth. Now, a few episodes in, we’ve seen that and things have moved along. Then it became about the idea of scientists actually studying these legendary creatures, a moment the franchise always hinted at but never fully got around to. In those ways and more, Alien: Earth was doing things the movies could never, and had never, done. But with its fourth episode, creator Noah Hawley and his team have taken that notion t
