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 […]

After it shipped its first and second stage rockets to the launch site earlier this week, SpaceX successfully tested all six engines on its Starship second stage rocket in the evening yesterday. SpaceX is developing the Starship rocket in Boca Chica, Texas, and the ambition of the project is to make the rocket the largest of its kind in history. The second stage Starship is also the only rocket of its kind that is designed to be fully reusable apart from its heatshield tiles. It is also a part of NASA's Artemis program that plans to land the first humans […]
SpaceX's latest Starlink internet satellite launch that took place from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida late night yesterday marked the first time that humans have launched 200 rockets from Earth. This sets a new record in the global space industry, as SpaceX and Chinese rocket launches continue to launch countless satellites in an era of the space age that has seen a marked growth in global interest in astronautics that is unparalleled since the Apollo era, which saw the first humans land on the lunar surface. SpaceX Comfortably Beats Its 2022 Launch Cadence Even As It Falls […]
After an excitement filled orbital test flight in November, SpaceX is in no mood to wait as it is already transporting its rockets to the launch site. SpaceX's rocket complex in Boca Chica, Texas, dubbed Starbase, features production, launch and test sites. Footage from local media shows that a Starship rocket booster and a second stage spacracraft have made their way to the launch site, with SpaceX celebrating the holiday season by decorating their transporters. While simply moving a rocket to a launch site is not indicative of any potential tests, it shows confidence in the vehicles and leaves the […]
SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service faced a setback yesterday after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) upheld its order to cancel roughly $900 million in subsidies that Starlink had won to provide internet access in underserved areas. Starlink, which operates the world's largest satellite internet constellation, has faced a lot of resistance and trouble at the FCC, with multiple rivals questioning SpaceX's plans to build out the second phase of the constellation with the Starship rocket. These plans were also at the heart of the FCC's latest order, as the Commission cited Starship test flight failures to reject SpaceX's subsidy application. […]
SpaceX's first Starship test flight in April carries the risk of significantly delaying the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Artemis program to develop a sustainable human presence on the Moon, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO). NASA's Artemis III flight is currently planned to take off in 2025, and the GAO's report shares that several portions of SpaceX's Human Landing System (HLS) development are taking longer than NASA programs typically do based on average historical data. Other key constraints identified for a 2025 launch include delays with the new spacesuits that Axiom Space is designing […]
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets, which have flown nearly 90 times this year, are now causing astronomers to worry about the impact that they are making on the Earth's ionosphere. After launching its payload into space, the Falcon 9 fires up its Merline engines to reorient itself and reduce its speed for landing on land or in the sea. Similarly, after the second stage has finished its mission, it also fires up its engines to return to Earth. These engines create holes in the ionosphere, a layer of charged gas surrounding the Earth that plays a crucial role in satellite communication. […]
