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 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 […]
In a week full of launches for the Falcon 9 program that has seen the rocket launch crewed and other missions to space, SpaceX has finally revealed the date for its third Starship test flight. The first Starship test took place in April last year, and the progress slowed down after that as SpaceX had to build a water deluge system at the pad to avoid launch damage. After regulatory approval, which took months, the second Starship flight took off in November 2023 and raised hopes that the third test would occur sooner than the second. Now, in a post […]
A busy press day for NASA saw the agency share new details of its work with SpaceX's Starship program while executives from Intuitive Machines were sharing the latest updates about the first U.S. lunar landing since the end of the Apollo program. SpaceX is NASA's choice contractor for its creed Moon missions for the Artemis program, which will see the second stage Starship dock with the Lockheed made Orion spacecraft for the astronauts to make their way inside SpaceX's ship. The docking mechanism will be an extension of SpaceX's work with the ISS as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, […]
