Companies may soon pay a fee for their rockets to share the skies with airplanes

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-19 22:07:40

The Federal Aviation Administration may soon levy fees on companies seeking launch and reentry licenses, a new tack in the push to give the agency the resources it needs to keep up with the rapidly growing commercial space industry. The text of a budget reconciliation bill released by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) last week calls for the FAA's Office of Commercial Space Transportation, known as AST, to begin charging licensing fees to space companies next year. The fees would phase in over eight year

The Mysterious Inner Workings of Io, Jupiter’s Volcanic Moon

wired.com Robin Andrews 2026-03-19 22:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Scott Bolton’s first encounter with Io took place in the summer of 1980, right after he graduated from college and started a job at NASA. The Voyager 1 spacecraft had flown past this moon of Jupiter, catching the first glimpse of active volcanism on a world other than Earth. Umbrella-shaped outbursts of magmatic matter rocketed into space from all over Io’s surface. “They looked amazingly beautiful,” said Bolton, who is now based a

As President Donald Trump kicked off a birthday military parade on the streets of Washington, DC, what’s estimated as roughly 2,000 events were held across the US and beyond — protesting Trump and Elon Musk’s evisceration of government services, an unprecedented crackdown by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and countless other actions from the administration in its first five months.

How to build the best keyboard in the world

theverge.com Nathan Edwards 2026-03-20 00:00:00

The term “endgame,” among keyboard enthusiasts, is sort of a running gag. Endgame is when you finally dial in your perfect layout, case, features, switches, and keycaps, so you can stop noodling around with parts and get on with whatever it is you actually use the keyboard for — work, presumably. Then a few months later you see something shiny and start over. In the search for endgame, most of us have to compromise somewhere — usually time or money.

Norbauer Seneca review: a $3,600 luxury keyboard for the keyboard obsessed

theverge.com Nathan Edwards 2026-03-20 00:00:00

Some people can tell great wine from okay wine. They go on wine tastings, take wine tours. They tend to spend more money on wine than most. I am not one of those people. I can tell wine from vinegar if you show me the bottle. I am just a little bit obsessed with keyboards, though. I have spent the past couple of months typing on the Seneca, a fully custom capacitive keyboard that starts at $3,600 and might be the best computer keyboard ever built.

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Autopay is easily one of the most convenient ways to pay your bills, especially if you’re like me and struggle to keep track of everything manually.

Is ChatGPT Plus really worth $20 when the free version offers so many premium features?

Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET When ChatGPT first launched two years ago, the AI chatbot was met with such high demand that OpenAI introduced a premium plan called ChatGPT Plus. This plan guaranteed access to the chatbot even during blackout periods. The perks also included access to OpenAI's most advanced models, which at the time included GPT-4, making the $20 plan almost a no-brainer for superusers.

Bioprospectors mine microbial genomes for antibiotic gold

In brief The discovery of penicillin nearly 100 years ago started a gold rush to find new antimicrobials. Scientists mined microscopic bacteria and fungi for compounds that could help fight off infection. But over time the rate of antimicrobial discoveries slowed to a crawl. Now, modern-day bioprospectors are using genomics, synthetic biology, and AI to dig deeper than they ever have before.

How Covid-19 Changed Hideo Kojima’s Vision for ‘Death Stranding 2’
