That viral lifetime Starlink offer on Facebook is a total scam

Bottom line: Scammers have been using social media for years to promote their schemes, and the latest one – an unbelievable deal on a lifetime Starlink subscription – is no different. While there are legitimate Starlink discounts that can help users save a few bucks, this offer is certainly not one of them.

War for Westeros, Coming in 2026, Will Let Fans Make Their Own Game of Thrones Ending

For a moment in time, fantasy fans were split between whether Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies or HBO's Game of Thrones prestige TV show was the best adaptation of a classic book series.

Isaacman’s bold plan for NASA: Nuclear ships, seven-crew Dragons, accelerated Artemis

Nearly two weeks have passed since Jared Isaacman received a fateful, brief phone call from two officials in President Trump's Office of Personnel Management.

The president, the callers said, wanted to go in a different direction for NASA's administrator.
