Rocket Report: SpaceX won’t land at Johnston Atoll; new North Sea launch site

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-07-19 07:15:11

Welcome to Edition 8.03 of the Rocket Report! We are at an interesting stage in Europe, with its efforts to commercialize spaceflight. Finally, it seems the long-slumbering continent is waking up to the need to leverage private capital to drive down the costs of space access, and we are seeing more investment flow into European companies. But it is critical that European policymakers make strategic investments across the industry or companies like PLD Space, which outlined big plans this week, w

An Engineer’s Diary Reveals the Human Cost of Building OpenAI’s Next Big Thing

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-07-21 06:00:13

Behind the seemingly magical abilities of OpenAI’s technology lies a story of intense human effort and immense personal sacrifice. In a candid reflection posted on July 15, former top engineer Calvin French-Owen peeled back the curtain on the company’s high stakes culture. He detailed a product launch that was “unquestionably one of the highlights of my career” but also the “hardest I’ve worked in nearly a decade.” French-Owen is a seasoned tech leader who cofounded the successful data company

How to make Android look like iOS 26, for better or for worse

Apple debuted its new design language for iOS 26, dubbed Liquid Glass, to a mixed reception in June. While some people enjoyed the new transparent icons and light refraction effects, others — including Android Authority‘s Robert Triggs — criticized it as an “accessibility nightmare.” But that hasn’t stopped many Android users from trying to emulate the new design on their own smartphones. And thanks to the customization features of Android and the ability to choose a different launcher, getting

Auriga Space raises $6M to shoot rockets off an electromagnetic launch track

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-07-25 18:00:00

While U.S.-based companies are launching more payloads into orbit than ever before, they’re still limited by the inefficiency of conventional rockets. With rockets, most of the weight is in the propellant, not the payload, and a huge portion of it is burned simply battling Earth’s gravity and atmosphere. Auriga Space is aiming to change the launch game. Instead of a first-stage booster, the California-based startup is developing a launch track that will use electricity to power powerful magnets

Welcome to Edition 8.02 of the Rocket Report! It's worth taking a moment to recognize an important anniversary in the history of human spaceflight next week. Fifty years ago, on July 15, 1975, NASA launched a three-man crew on an Apollo spacecraft from Florida and two Russian cosmonauts took off from Kazakhstan, on course to link up in low-Earth orbit two days later.

Russia is a waning space power, but President Vladimir Putin has made sure he still has a saber to rattle in orbit.

Abstract Starcloud have claimed that a single 100-ton Starship launch could suffice to create a 40 MW space data centre (SDC) for $8.2 M. My analysis finds that this is infeasible in a single launch but requires a total of upto 22 launches. The SDC’s solar arrays require 4 launches determined by examining existing solar arrays on the ISS. Similarly, the ISS’s radiator benchmarks indicate that 13 launches would be needed for the SDC’s thermal management system. The server racks would require an
