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 […]

Less than a week after its eye catching Starship IFT-3, SpaceX has shared details about when the next test might take place. SpaceX's President and COO Gwynne Shotwell gave the opening keynote at the Satellite 2024's opening session today, and in response to a question, she revealed that while SpaceX is still parsing through the data from last week's flight attempt, the next test can take place as soon as in May. Shotwell added that the Starship test flight was not orbital by design, and SpaceX hopes to successfully manage reentry in its next flight attempt. SpaceX Hopes To Get […]
After just four months since the second Starship test flight in November, SpaceX's third test successfully cleared the pad at Boca Chica, Texas, early morning local time today. Starship's third test flight came within days of an FAA approval of the rocket that also cleared SpaceX to land the second stage Starship in the Indian Ocean close to Australia. The test was SpaceX's most successful Starship run to date, as while the Super Heavy booster did not meet all of its test objectives, the second stage Starship stole the show after successful stage separation, orbit and engine cutoff. SpaceX's livestream […]
SpaceX chief Elon Musk appears to be tempering his enthusiasm ahead of the firm's third test flight of the fully stacked Starship rocket that is slated to take place early morning local time in Texas tomorrow. Starship is the world's biggest rocket in size and payload capacity, and SpaceX's tests aim to certify the rocket for operational status. So far, SpaceX has launched the second stage Starship several times as part of an earlier test campaign that sought to validate its design for a propulsive landing. The fully stacked Starship, made of the second stage stacked on the Super Heavy […]
After sharing a tentative launch date for Starship through a live stream link on Elon Musk's X earlier this month, SpaceX is sticking with a Thursday launch date for the world's largest rocket. SpaceX's third Starship test flight, dubbed IFT-3, is slated to launch from Boca Chica, Texas early morning local time tomorrow, according to the firm's latest update posted just moments back. The update came just as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) gave the go ahead for changes to Starship's landing profile, and then proceeded to authorize Starship IFT-3 (or the OFT-3 as the FAA dubs it in its […]
Even as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is yet to issue an updated launch license for SpaceX's upcoming third Starship test flight due on Thursday, the agency's notice to pilots and the Coast Guard's notice to mariners share that the gears are turning. The FAA's operations plan advisory and its NOTAM are both live and mention Thursday as the day ITF-3 will take place. The airspace management agency is joined by the Coast Guard's mariner notice, which also mentions a similar date, indicating that just like the second Starship test flight, SpaceX will launch as soon as it receives the […]
A crucial day in Washington that saw budget releases all over included a $25 billion President's Budget Request Summary for NASA for the next fiscal year. The figure marks a flat budget for the space agency for the last three years, coming at a time when interest rates remain high along with inflation having made its impact on public and private sector wallets. NASA's fiscal year 2025 budget request not only marks 0% growth over the current fiscal year, but it also includes a hefty $2.5 billion drop over the projections for 2025 made in last year's plans. NASA Guts […]
Ahead of the third Starship test flight that is currently slated to take place next week, SpaceX is busy running last minute tests at its facilities in Boca Chica, Texas. The third Starship launch is SpaceX's most anticipated event in the year so far, as it will see the firm try to fly the world's largest rocket for the third time. The previous Starship test was in November, and it saw the first and second stages successfully separate. For the third test attempt, SpaceX introduced several upgrades to its rocket alongside building a new launch site to ensure the rapid […]
After a couple of years since it opened the service for public use, SpaceX has shared important updates about its Starlink satellite internet service. Starlink is the world's largest satellite internet constellation, made up of thousands of satellites that have benefited from SpaceX's ability to rapidly launch the satellites. According to SpaceX's latest update, Starlink latency has dropped significantly, a major win for the network that has been under scrutiny for high latency. SpaceX Significantly Cuts Down Latency For Peak Usage Times In The U.S. The early days of Starlink's roll out saw users report impressive download speeds as the […]
