Nudists and Surfers Protest SpaceX’s Plans to Launch Starship From Florida

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-24 04:35:54

SpaceX isn’t very popular among beachgoers in Florida at the moment. The rocket company applied for a permit to launch its Starship rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which threatens to restrict beach access for surfers and casual nudists. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently hosted a series of public meetings where residents of the area got to weigh in on its upcoming decision to allow Starship to lift off from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

Starship finally broke a losing streak of back-to-back flops, acing its 10th suborbital flight last month. Following the rocket’s success, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk is now confident that the massive vehicle will begin flying payloads to space in 2026. During an interview with the All-In Podcast, Musk explained how an upgraded version of Starship will reach orbit by next year and demonstrate full reusability of the Super Heavy booster and its upper stage. “Unless we have some very major s

New Study Upends Origin Theory of Mysterious Interstellar Object

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-08 09:45:48

Ever since interstellar object 3I/ATLAS streaked into our solar system, astronomers have been scrambling to understand how this likely comet got here—and more importantly, perhaps, where it came from. As only the third interstellar object ever discovered, 3I/ATLAS offers a rare chance to study remnants of solar systems beyond our own, briefly bringing the distant galaxy within reach. But before we get into the new study, imagine the Milky Way as a kind of celestial sandwich: Inside is a thin d

New Webb image shows star formation as glittering, craggy peaks

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in the galaxy called Pismis 24, showing swirling dust and infant stars in unprecedented detail. The image was captured in infrared light by Webb's NIRCam (near-infrared camera), with false color detail added afterwards.

Fuel supply is a bottleneck for Starship—here’s how SpaceX will get around it

If SpaceX is going to fly Starships as often as it wants to, it's going to take more than rockets and launch pads. First, there's the sprawling factory that SpaceX has constructed at its Starbase location along the Gulf Coast in South Texas. The building, known as Starfactory, is designed to produce one Starship per day. A couple of miles to the east, SpaceX has built one Starship launch pad and is preparing to activate a second one.

SpaceX’s Next Big Trick: Catch the Starship Upper Stage With ‘Chopsticks’

SpaceX finally broke out of a serious Starship slump on Tuesday, acing the rocket’s 10th flight after months of failed attemps. Now, CEO Elon Musk has set his sights on the next big challenge: catching Starship’s upper stage with Mechazilla’s “chopstick” arms.

Starship’s heat shield appears to have performed quite well in test

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-19 17:10:39

One of the more curious aspects of the 10th flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket on Tuesday was the striking orange discoloration of the second stage. This could be observed on video taken from a buoy near the landing site as the vehicle made a soft landing in the Indian Ocean. This color—so different from the silvery skin and black tiles that cover Starship's upper stage—led to all sorts of speculation. Had heating damaged the stainless steel skin?

With Starship Flight 10, SpaceX prioritized resilience over perfection

SpaceX has long marketed Starship as a fully and rapidly reusable rocket that’s designed to deliver thousands of pounds of cargo to Mars and make life multiplanetary. But reusability at scale means a space vehicle that can tolerate mishaps and faults, so that a single failure doesn’t spell a mission-ending catastrophe. The 10th test flight on Tuesday evening demonstrated SpaceX’s focus on fault tolerance. In a post-flight update, SpaceX said the test stressed “the limits of vehicle capabilities

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as we thought

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-24 17:16:33

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of stars to form the first planets. The first stars were initially composed of pure hydrogen and helium, and they were massive—hundreds to thousands of times the mass of the Sun and millions of times more luminous. Their short lives ended in enormous explosions called supernovae, so they had neither the
