SpaceX Is Losing a Staggering Amount of Money Every Time One of Its Starships Explodes

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-06 04:45:24

Time is ticking for SpaceX's Starship. Even after nearly ten launches, the behemoth spacecraft has yet to successfully visit space and then come safely back to Earth even a single time — but NASA is nonetheless relying on it to ferry astronauts from the Moon's orbit down to the surface just over two years from now. Given Starship's track record so far — nine full-scale test flights have ended in explosions shortly after launch, explosions in space, and crashes into the ocean — it's a steep goa

Florida Schools Deploying Armed Drones to Battle School Shooters

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-06 06:15:27

There's no need to fear, for emergency drone swarms are here. To combat school shootings, three districts in Florida are set to trial a drone response system that's designed to subdue an assailant and buy time before law enforcement can arrive at the scene, Newsweek reports. It sounds like something you'd see in a satirical ad in a "Robocop" movie, but no — it's real. The drones can spring into operation within five seconds of a silent alarm being activated, and confront the shooter within fif

Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 Review: The Only Earbuds You Want on an Airplane

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-06 02:00:16

How much do you value quiet? I’m not trying to get profound here—this is a gadget review, not a self-help seminar—but it’s a question worth asking. Personally, I find quiet to be pretty important. Nothing says loving myself like putting on a pair of earbuds and telling the entirety of New York City to kindly, f**k off. And for that peace of mind, you have a lot of earbuds at your disposal. Any pair worth its weight in plastic will have the option for ANC nowadays. But just because they all have

‘Zipotle’: Chipotle Wants to Drop a Burrito on Your Head with New Drone Delivery

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-06 02:00:22

Chipotle says it’s jumping on the drone delivery bandwagon. This week, the company announced a new pilot program in Texas that will test the viability of airdropping customers’ orders into their backyards for them.

Building a computer in the 90s (2019)

Last Updated on March 19, 2024 by Dave Farquhar Building a computer in the 90s was different than it is today. It wasn’t just harder or more expensive. It seemed like every new build was an adventure. I probably built a few hundred systems before the decade ended, but the first few were definitely the most memorable. One in particular stands out above the rest. It was 1996. My friend Tom wanted a modern computer that was capable of handling photography work. He was in his early 20s at the time

But Ubisoft said it will "strive for transparency during its development." Unfortunately, that didn't apply to its announcement.
