In the modern space race, every mission is a dance with the unknown, and the dance partner is usually as volatile as the fuel that powers the rockets. Today, this dance has taken an unexpected turn for Boeing, the company that was once considered a primary contender in the race to make space travel more commercial. Boeing announced on Thursday, alongside NASA, that it would further delay the inaugural crewed launch of its Starliner spacecraft, an unfortunate setback occasioned by the discovery of fresh issues with the spacecraft's systems. In an industry where the tiniest oversight could result in catastrophic failures, the delay might be a disappointing development, but it is also a necessary one.

However, adverse weather conditions over the Atlantic Ocean forced the cancellation of the second launch from Kennedy Space Center. The successful mission added 22 second-generation Starlink satellites to SpaceX's growing constellation, intended to deliver high-speed internet to underserved regions globally. Despite the setback, the next launch is slated for the following day, carrying crucial cargo and scientific experiments to the International Space Station. While the weather may have hindered their ambitious plans, SpaceX remains undeterred in their pursuit to expand their global network, aiming to serve residential and business customers across the globe and even in-motion services for planes, boats, and recreational vehicles.

In the fast-paced world of social media, where every tweet is scrutinized and every word weighed, a new controversy has emerged involving two high-profile figures: Elon Musk, tech billionaire and owner of Twitter, and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, known for her political acuity and prolific social media use. The bone of contention? A growing concern over disinformation and its potential influence on the upcoming 2024 US Presidential election. This story, which Ocasio-Cortez broke on Tuesday via an unambiguous post on BlueSky, marks yet another chapter in the ongoing debate about the power of social media giants, the manipulation of online narratives, and the potential harm of unchecked disinformation. "I am concerned about next year's election given Musk putting his finger on the scale in Turkey, etc. There is a line where the harm of unchecked disinfo exceeds the benefits of direct, authentic communication," Ocasio-Cortez wrote, expressing a sentiment that echoes wider concerns about the integrity of democratic processes in the digital age. The source of her ire? Musk's recent decision to comply with a request by Turkey's right-wing autocratic leader, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to censor dissident voices on the Twitter platform. Musk, known for his libertarian stance on free speech, justified this decision by suggesting that it was the lesser of two evils, considering Erdogan's threat to completely shut down Twitter access in Turkey. This approach, according to Musk, was intended to preserve at least some level of access to the platform for the Turkish people.

Twitter, the renowned social-media platform, once considered the heartbeat of the digital world, has experienced a steep downfall in value. Purchased by Elon Musk, the techno-entrepreneur and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, the platform's value has plummeted to one-third of the acquisition price, as revealed by Fidelity's recent markdown of its equity stake in Twitter.
