Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes. Now, a new report suggests that the company intends to create a fully integrated experience by developing its own smart home accessories. Gurman hints about Apple working on making smart home products like security cameras for a more integrated experience […]

Apple's $1.5 billion deal with Globalstar, through which the firm acquired a 20% stake in the company and provided it with the funds to build out a mobile satellite service (MSS) network, will use SpaceX's rockets to launch the satellites. Apple first announced its MSS investment in November 2022 and made headlines last month after a Globalstar SEC filing revealed a $1.5 billion investment that gave Apple 20% control over a subsidiary. Subsequent Globalstar filings with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the SEC shed more light on the deal, revealing that Globalstar will use part of the proceeds from […]
Jeff Bezos' rocket company, Blue Origin, is silently progressing towards the first hot fire test of its New Glenn rocket. Powered by in-house engines, New Glenn is also designed to land on a ship like SpaceX's Falcon 9. It is also more powerful than SpaceX's workhorse and operational rocket, and footage from media in Florida shows that Blue Origin's barge came back to port at Cape Canaveral late last night after offshore testing. The return marks another step in the rocket's test campaign, with a major hot fire of its engines expected to occur soon. Blue Origin Picks Up The […]
NASA's SpaceX Crew-8 astronauts, who returned to Earth late last month after spending more than two hundred days in space, opened up about their experiences in space and after landing during a press conference earlier today. The Crew-8 mission was one of the more unique SpaceX missions since not only did it face multiple delays for its return, but once the crew landed, NASA flew them to a hospital in Florida to keep one NASA astronaut under observation for unforeseen medical issues. While the crew did not share any details about this member or their medical problems, other information they […]
SpaceX's multi billion dollar Starship Human Landing System (HLS) rocket for NASA's Artemis program to land the first humans on the Moon since the Apollo program will have at least two floors and be capable of carrying a crew of 20 astronauts suggest fresh details on X. While SpaceX has been busy testing the full Starship test in Boca Chica, Texas, the firm has shared little details about the $2.9 billion contract that NASA awarded it in 2021 to build the HLS. Now, according to an educator who recently visited SpaceX's Texas facilities, Starship HLS' early design mock ups include […]
NASA has shared a list of potential locations for the first human lunar landing since the Apollo era. NASA, along with SpaceX, will fly to the Moon on the Artemis III mission using its Space Launch System (SLS) and SpaceX's Starship Human Landing System (HLS) lander. The mission, slated to take place sometime in 2026, barring potential delays to the Orion or SpaceX's Starship, will be the first human presence on the lunar South Pole in history. According to the agency, it has identified nine potential Artemis III locations and a landing on any of them will be the first […]
SpaceX's next-generation upper-stage Starship spacecraft, which should soon fly on future flights, has been fully unveiled at the firm's facilities in Texas. The Starship upper stage is the world's first and only upper stage spacecraft capable of being reused, and the key to this capability is ensuring that the ship returns to Earth intact. On this front, several Starship tests have seen the upper stage's forward grid fins catch fire, and the new ship will rectify this by ensuring that vulnerable regions point away from the fast and hot air that flows around them during atmospheric reentry. SpaceX's Next Generation […]
The NASA astronaut who was kept under observation at a Florida hospital yesterday after spending a grueling 232 days in space has now been released, the space agency shared in a statement earlier today. Three NASA astronauts, Jeanette Epps, Michael Barratt and Matthew Dominick returned to Earth on SpaceX's Crew Dragon early in the morning yesterday. Their mission was the SpaceX Crew 8 mission, with the four crew member, cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, representing Russia onboard the orbiting space laboratory. After their splashdown, NASA shared in a press release that all four had been flown to a local hospital in Florida, […]
NASA shared earlier today that a crew member on board SpaceX's Crew 8 mission, which returned to Earth earlier today, experienced a rare medical issue and has been kept under observation in the hospital. NASA astronauts Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps, and Matthew Dominick, along with Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, returned to Earth from the International Space Station earlier in the morning today. Soon after their return, the agency shared that the four were flown to a medical facility out of an "abundance of caution" and promised details later during the day. Now, while NASA has decided to keep the astronaut's […]
