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 […]

As part of the Polaris Dawn mission, astronauts Jared Isaacman and SpaceX's Anna Menon completed the first commercial spacewalk in spaceflight history earlier today. Isaacman and Menon took off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida earlier this week, after which they became the first crew to reach an altitude of 1,408 kilometers since the Gemini program and the farthest humans from space since NASA's Apollo Moon missions of the 1970s. Before and since then, the astronauts were acclimatizing themselves to the harsh environment of space in order to prepare for today's spacewalk as part of what SpaceX calls a […]
We have been hearing about the partnership between T-Mobile and SpaceX to bring satellite connectivity by leveraging Starlink for quite some time. The two companies have been vigorously working to launch the services in the U.S. year and then expand them globally. Even if efforts by the competition to hinder their launch did not stop their work, the partnership has bore fruit by accomplishing what no other wireless company has been able to do so far. T-Mobile and SpaceX are the first to send a wireless emergency alert (WEA) via satellite in the U.S., leaving the competition behind T-Mobile and […]
After a notable pause, SpaceX has finally broken the silence for the launch date of its fifth Starship test flight, which appears to ensure that 2024 will see just three launches. In an update on its website, the firm shared that as per its communications with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Starship Flight 5 will receive a launch license in November at the earliest. This marks a significant delay from the multiple estimates shared by Elon Musk after Starship's fourth integrated test flight. According to SpaceX, Starship Super Heavy's interstage ring and tower catch are to blame for the delay. […]
SpaceX chief Elon Musk has shared his opinion on why Boeing Starliner's crewed flight test ended up being a partial success as the ship returned to Earth without its crew members earlier this month. Musk made the remarks at a podcast yesterday, where he added that SpaceX is ready to fly the Starship rocket's full stack for the fifth time in Texas as soon as it receives the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) approval. His Boeing comments are the first time Musk, known for his unabashed takes, has shared his opinion on SpaceX's older competitor after Starliner's dramatic return to Earth. […]
SpaceX has received the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) approval to communicate with its Starship rocket during the upcoming flight 5 from Texas. The FCC approved SpaceX's application over the weekend to communicate with the Super Heavy booster, and by the looks of it, SpaceX has expanded its communications capabilities with the Starship booster ahead of the test flight that will see it attempt a booster catch with the launch tower arms for the first time. SpaceX has not received the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) license approval for the Starship test flight. As it waits for the FAA, the firm is […]
SpaceX president and chief operations officer Gwynne Shotwell has asked Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexander Moraes to let her firm's Starlink internet service function normally in Brazil. Her comments come in the aftermath of an escalating feud between SpaceX CEO and X (formerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk, who has gone head to head with Moraes over the latter's decision to block Musk's social media platform in the country. Starlink was caught in the middle after it refused court orders to block access to X, a move that threatened the service's presence in Brazil. Shotwell's comments follow Starlink's announcement that it […]
After a brief pause as it worked with the FAA due to a rare Falcon 9 booster landing anomaly, SpaceX has picked up the pace with its workhorse rocket's missions. The firm launched its latest set of Starlink satellites from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida earlier today after standing down from launch yesterday due to weather constraints. The launch marked SpaceX's 86th mission for the year, and it came roughly twelve hours before a mission for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). SpaceX Successfully Lands Falcon 9 Booster After Completing Its 86th Launch In 2024 Today's launch was […]
After a brief pause in its launch operations after the Falcon 9 tipped over and crashed on its recovery ship, SpaceX returned to launch in style by launching back to back Starlink missions from Florida and California. 2024, which has seen the firm aim at launching more than 140 flights, has also seen it aggressively focus on launches from California to bolster its manifest and build out the Starlink internet constellation. SpaceX's launches came mere hours after the FAA confirmed in a statement that it was cleared to conduct operations while an investigation was ongoing. Crucially for SpaceX, not only […]
SpaceX's vice president of Falcon launch vehicles, John Edwards, has stressed that yesterday's Falcon 9 landing anomaly that saw the booster crash into the recovery drone ship stemmed from a faulty recovery attempt that carried no risks to the rocket's overall mission profile. His comments are important since the FAA has required an investigation from SpaceX for the landing failure, and as per Edwards, the rocket did not pose a threat to its primary mission or public safety. When read together with the FAA's statement following the accident, the SpaceX executive's comments indicate that the Falcon 9 could fly sooner […]
