Inside the automated warehouse where robots are packing your groceries

theverge.com Dominic Preston 2025-12-01 03:00:00

It’s the lack of noise you notice first. There’s no clatter of equipment, rumble of engines, or chatter of coworkers. Only the low hum of electronics. For an industrial space, this is eerily quiet, but it makes sense in a building where robots might outnumber people. I’m at a warehouse — or customer fulfilment center (CFC) — operated by online grocery company Ocado in Luton, just outside London. You might not have heard of Ocado, but it may still have delivered your groceries. Its technology ha

The U.S. Space Force’s budget for 2026 could see a 40% increase compared to this year, which is mostly driven by President Donald Trump’s fantasy of creating a futuristic missile defense system that uses space-based sensors and weapons. A recent report by the Center for Space Policy and Strategy highlights the Golden Dome’s role in driving the increase in funding allocated toward the Space Force.

Solar-Powered Device Turns Moon Dirt Into Bricks, a Potential Breakthrough in Lunar Construction

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-12-03 18:00:25

Both the U.S. and China have set their sights on the Moon, aiming to break ground on permanent lunar bases within the next decade. Though there’s no legal basis for claiming territory in space, whichever country gets there first will gain a coveted first-mover advantage, allowing it to set certain ground rules about who can do what, where. But getting there first is only half the battle. Actually establishing a sustained lunar presence presents significant logistical and engineering challenges.

NASA Told to Overhaul Its Plans to Replace the International Space Station

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-12-05 14:27:23

For nearly 30 years, the International Space Station has played orbital home for astronauts from all over the world, but its time is running out. Slated to retire in 2030, NASA is aiming to replace it with a privately-run station that can host its astronauts in space when needed. And now under pressure to get a new station up and running fast and within a slashed budget, NASA’s current head—U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—is completely overhauling the agency’s plans to replace the ISS.
