Senate Backs NASA’s Legacy Moon Plan Over Musk’s Protests

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-08-21 16:45:47

On Tuesday, July 1, the Senate breathed new life into NASA’s floundering Artemis program by passing President Trump’s budget reconciliation bill. If signed into law, the legislation would allocate an additional $6 billion to Artemis’ current mission architecture. The new funds, which include support for additional Space Launch System (SLS) rockets, the Orion spacecraft, and a lunar space station called Gateway, represent a major win for legacy aerospace providers Boeing, Northrop Grumman, and L

Airport Lounges Are Sexy Again—if You Can Get In

wired.com Chris Dong 2025-08-21 20:00:00

Let’s be honest: A crowded airport lounge without a seat in sight is usually less appealing than an empty gate area. Over the past decade, an influx of travelers with club access has led to overcrowding, long waitlists, and a diminished (read: not luxurious) experience. However, a version of commercial air travel—often hidden from public view and inaccessible to even premium credit cardholders—has emerged. This more private, pre-flight experience is essential for the affluent business traveler,

Affluent Travelers Are Ditching Business Class for Business Jets

wired.com Hannah Towey 2025-08-21 20:00:00

We’re cruising 35,000 feet over the French Riviera, the plane’s wing cutting through billows of white. Below us, the sea is sparkling, and I spot a cluster of yachts anchored along the coastline. A ray of light hits my glass of Champagne and turns it to liquid gold. I take another sip. So this is what it feels like to be on cloud nine. I’m flying from London to St. Tropez with the private aviation company Wheels Up, and for the first time in my life, I don’t want a flight to end. Once you’ve go

For Today's Business Traveler, It's All About Work-Life Integration

wired.com Paul Jebara 2025-08-21 20:00:00

These days, business travel no longer means putting your life on hold. In my own work as a travel writer, forever shuttling between airports and hotel lobbies, I lean on small habits that make unfamiliar places feel less anonymous. Before work takes over, I’ll put on a Greek or Arabic podcast to keep the languages of my family close to me. They’re the ones I grew up hearing around the dinner table, and there’s a quiet fear they’ll slip away if I stop listening. Folding moments like these into my

I Hated the Apple Intelligence Button on My iPhone 16. Here's How I Turned It Off for Good

I'm a long time Apple fan, and I was so excited to upgrade to an iPhone 16 last fall. After spending five years with my well-loved, but outdated iPhone 11, I was ready for all the usual perks: a better battery life, nicer cameras and, most exciting to me, a new Barbie pink color. But what I didn't expect is that one new addition would threaten to ruin my entire experience with my brand new phone.

Xbox Elite Wireless Controller 2 Is Overkill for Most People, but Still Delivers an Epic Gaming Experience

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (or Elite 2 for short) has arguably been the industry gold standard for a pro-level game controller for the past decade. Over the years dozens of competitors have cropped up, hoping to give Microsoft a run for its money. While the Elite 2 still isn't perfect, it still sets the bar high.

It might feel like a distant memory, but in 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic radically transformed how people lived, and specifically how they worked. At the time, plenty of health experts, CEOs, and publications (including WIRED) predicted that Covid would grind business travel to a halt indefinitely. If our day-to-day tasks and meetings could happen using Zoom, Slack, and other online tools, the logic went, then why not apply that same digital-first philosophy to work trips?

Longer, hotter summers mean one thing: longer, itchier, angrier mosquito seasons. And if June's sizzling heat waves are any preview of summer's dog days, you're gonna need more than good vibes and a flickering citronella candle to make it through. I was playing it fast and loose with the usual bug defenses: sprays that smell bad and taste even worse and candles that burn out faster than your will to be outside.

GOP wants EV tax credit gone; it would be a disaster for Tesla

The Republican Party's opposition to tax credits for electric vehicles has stepped up a notch. As its members in the US Senate add their input to the budget bill that came from their colleagues in the House of Representatives, among the changes they want to see is a faster eradication of the IRS clean vehicle tax credit. The tax credit provides up to $7,500 off the price of an EV as long as certain conditions are met, and the language from the House would have given it until the end of the year.
