- 1SpaceX Launches Starship Into Orbit for First Time, Cuts Mission Short▼SpaceX launches Starship into orbit for first time ever but cuts mission short
SpaceX has launched its Starship into orbit for the first time, a milestone in the development of the giant rocket designed for deep space missions. The flight was cut short before completion, but the company and observers are treating the launch itself as a major step forward in getting the vehicle off the ground and into space.
- 2Blood tests explain why astronauts get constipated in space▼Blood tests reveal why astronauts get constipated in space
Researchers say blood tests have identified why astronauts often suffer constipation during spaceflight, pointing to changes in the body measurable in the blood while in orbit. The finding sheds light on a common but rarely discussed problem of long-duration missions and could help protect crew health on future trips to the Moon and Mars.
- 3Pixel-art orbital sim Get To Orbit launches on Linux●Get To Orbit: Pixel-art orbital simulation released for Linux https:// playingtux.com/en/articles/202 6/10/get-to-orbit-
Get To Orbit, an indie pixel-art orbital simulation game, has been released with native Linux support, according to Linux gaming coverage. The title is also tagged for Steam, suggesting availability on the platform. News of the release is circulating among Linux gaming and space simulation enthusiasts, who follow native Linux launches closely as signs of continued indie support for the platform.
- 4AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon team up to end coverage gaps●AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have officially teamed up to end coverage gaps This is likely an attempt to get ahead of pote
AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon have officially partnered to eliminate mobile coverage gaps across the United States. The collaboration between the three rival carriers is widely seen as a move to get ahead of satellite-based competitors such as Starlink and other low-earth-orbit providers that threaten to disrupt traditional cellular coverage.
- 5Google: Starship needs 1,600 launches for space data centers●Google thinks SpaceX's Starship has to launch 1,600 times before space data centers get off the ground https://techcrunc
Google has estimated that SpaceX's Starship would need to fly around 1,600 times before space-based data centers could become commercially viable. The figure, reported by TechCrunch, highlights the enormous launch capacity required to move computing infrastructure into orbit, as tech companies explore space as a way to meet growing energy and cooling demands from AI workloads.
- 6Google says Starship needs 1,800 launches for space data centers▼Google thinks SpaceX's Starship has to launch 1,800 times before space data centers get off the ground
Google estimates that SpaceX's Starship would need to fly around 1,800 times before data centers in space could become commercially viable. The figure highlights the enormous launch capacity required to move computing infrastructure off Earth, and underscores how far current rocket capabilities remain from supporting large-scale orbital data centers.
- 7ISRO opens new satellite tracking facility in Guwahati▼ISRO to get a boost for its satellite and space asset tracking with its newest facility in Guwahati
India's space agency ISRO is set to strengthen its satellite and space asset tracking capabilities with a new facility in Guwahati, Assam. The station will expand the organisation's ground tracking network in India's northeast, improving monitoring of orbiting satellites and space assets.
- 8Rocket shortage creates crisis for space technology firms▼A lack of rockets is creating a crisis for space technology companies
Space technology companies are facing a growing crisis caused by a shortage of available rockets to launch their payloads. New Scientist reports that limited launch capacity is holding back the industry, leaving satellite and space tech firms struggling to get their equipment into orbit and delaying projects and business plans.
- 9Google: Starship needs 1,600 launches for space data centers●Google thinks SpaceX's Starship has to launch 1,600 times before space data centers get off the ground
Google says SpaceX's Starship would need to fly around 1,600 times before data centers in space could become commercially viable, according to TechCrunch. The estimate puts a steep logistics hurdle in front of the emerging idea of orbiting computing infrastructure, which several tech companies have floated as demand for AI compute grows and terrestrial power constraints mount. It underscores that space-based data centers remain far from reality despite growing interest.
