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 […]

With 2023 about to come to an end, SpaceX's self-set goal of becoming the first company in the world to launch 100 rocket missions in a calendar year has become trickier. The firm's Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida late night yesterday. It marked SpaceX's 89th operational and non-operational launch for 2023, leaving the firm with four weeks and two days to launch 11 more missions and complete a century. SpaceX's chief Elon Musk had shared the goal of launching its rockets 100 times in 2023 earlier this year, and the count […]
Chinese personal computing and technology firm Huawei has become one of the few companies of its kind in the world to test out a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet network similar to SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service. Starlink is the world's largest LEO constellation, and it owes its size to SpaceX's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket, which has made rocket launches a regular occurrence of daily life in the 21st century. Details of Huawei's test were shared on the Chinese social media platform Weibo, with slides from a presentation showing that the LEO satellite test delivered download speeds of as […]
SpaceX's Starship rocket lifted off from the Boca Chica, Texas, test site earlier today after months of waiting and speculation. The world's largest rocket took off from the pad a little after 7 a.m. local time and, soon after its ascent, completed the crucial event of hot stage separation. However, based on initial footage, the first-stage Super Heavy rocket booster's engines did not re-ignite successfully after stage separation. Instead, the rocket exploded mid-air 75 kilometers above the Earth's surface. Yet, by this time, the second stage had traveled quite far, and it did not take any damage from the debris […]
With less than 24 hours left until liftoff, SpaceX has decided to swap out some components on its ST\tarship rocket. SpaceX's chief Elon Musk shared the news on his social media platform X, and the quick fix to the rocket came after a post by SpaceX on social media that it had stacked the second stage Starship on the first stage for the final time before launch. According to the SpaceX chief, machines inside Starship that control its landing apparatus are being changed. The last-moment decision came after SpaceX's live stream link for the Starship Integrated Flight Test 2 (IFT-2) […]
SpaceX has shared some of the best images of its fully stacked Starship rocket as less than a day remains before its historic test flight in Boca Chica, Texas. The FAA cleared Starship for its second test flight yesterday after a process that took seven months to complete. With the latest review, the agency and the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) evaluated whether new water deluge and fire suppression systems for the launch pad would require a new environmental approval. Fortunately for SpaceX and its fans, multiple tests conducted at the pad certified it, and ahead of tomorrow's launch, SpaceX […]
After considerable hype, SpaceX has received the launch license for its Starship test flight two and just like the first grant, the second license approval is limited to a single launch. It also comes with significant changes and requires SpaceX to work with the Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS) to monitor its launch site and the surrounding area for potential contamination. The FAA's written revaluation of SpaceX's Starship environmental approval also reveals that Starship will no longer be fully reusable for the period at least since SpaceX will discard the hot staging ring in the ocean and not recover it […]
According to a fresh X post by its chief Elon Musk, SpaceX's Starship rocket is on track to receive regulatory approval for a Friday launch. The highly anticipated second Starship flight will come seven months after the first test attempt in May that saw Starship successfully clear the launch pad but fail at the crucial stage of stage separation. The Starship program is crucial for SpaceX's future, as not only does a multi billion dollar NASA contract for a lunar lander depend on the rocket, but SpaceX's second generation Starlink satellites are also designed to utilize its super heavy lift […]
