That includes researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), who are developing a set of wearable robotic limbs to help astronauts recover from falls. When the wearer falls over, an extra pair of limbs can extend out to provide leverage to help them stand, conserving energy for other tasks. The study found that falls were more common when, like Duke, astronauts were collecting samples or using tools – tasks that Artemis astronauts are likely to undertake. Kim Shiflett/NASA NASA astronaut Eric Boe wears Boeing's new spacesuit designed for astronauts who will fly on the CST-100 Starliner. Ballesteros plans to spend the next few years of his PhD using a “Swiss Army Knife technique” to turn SuperLimbs into a system for astronauts that can “address different important use cases, but all be one unified design.”SuperLimbs could help astronauts recover from falls, move efficiently, and do work.

Barry Diller suggested Elon Musk endorsed Donald Trump due to "rejection" by the Biden administration. AdvertisementBarry Diller thinks Elon Musk is backing Donald Trump because he's bitter about being rejected by the Democrats, the billionaire told the "Fire and Fury" podcast. "Why he has gone this way, I think, is out of some weird bitterness and rejection by the current administration," Diller told presenters Michael Wolff and James Truman. Musk was once a supporter of Joe Biden, but the pair have often sparred verbally since Biden took office in 2021. At The New York Times' DealBook Summit the same month, Musk told departing advertisers to "go fuck yourself."

SpaceX's Starship rocket, the largest ever launched into space, made history by catching its booster at the launch site for the very first time.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket lands upright for the first time in the Atlantic Ocean on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship in April 2016. Landing boosters after flight is a feat that SpaceX has mastered with its smaller workhorse rocket, the Falcon 9. SpaceX says that has driven down its costs, allowing the company to underprice the rest of the rocket market. Just before touchdown, the Falcon 9 fires up its engines again — essentially using that power as a braking system. With 33 engines at its base, each more powerful than one of the nine used on the Falcon, the Super Heavy booster packs roughly 10 times the amount of thrust at liftoff.

The inaugural test launch of a Starship and Super Heavy — called an integrated test flight — took off in April 2023. The last test launch — the fourth of SpaceX’s integrated test flight campaign — took off in June. The concept animation above simulates how a successful catch of the Super Heavy rocket by Mechazilla could play out. On the fifth test flight, the upper Starship spacecraft will once again attempt to land upright in a controlled maneuver over the ocean. For example, SpaceX must figure out how to refuel a Starship spacecraft while it’s stationed in orbit.

The Federal Aviation Administration approved a license on Saturday for the launch of SpaceX's Starship 5 set for Sunday after earlier saying it did not expect to make a decision until late November. SpaceX is targeting Sunday for the launch and said a 30-minute launch window opens at 7:00 a.m. CT. The FAA said on Saturday SpaceX had "met all safety, environmental and other licensing requirements for the suborbital test flight" for the fifth test of the Starship and has also approved the Starship 6 mission profile. The Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket are a fully reusable system designed to carry crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon and beyond. On Friday, the FAA approved the return to flight of the SpaceX Falcon 9 vehicle after it reviewed and accepted the SpaceX-led investigation findings and corrective actions for the mishap that occurred Sept. 28.

CNN —Federal regulators granted SpaceX its long-awaited license to move forward with a fifth uncrewed test launch of Starship, the most powerful rocket system ever constructed. The FAA had been expected to hand down a license for this test launch weeks ago. SpaceX has also publicly denied reports that the company violated wastewater regulations with the deluge system, which SpaceX says uses potable water. Notably, the company launched a 2020 test flight of a prototype rocket, called Starship SN8, without obtaining prior approval from the FAA for a public safety waiver. At one point in 2023, for example, he said that he did not blame the FAA for holding up Starship launches.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailWhy the rich keep getting richerElon Musk is on track to become the world's first trillionaire by 2027, according to a report from Informa Connect Academy. The biggest driver of Musk's wealth has been Tesla stock and his ownership of SpaceX. Federal Reserve data shows the share of wealth controlled by the top 1% has grown dramatically, while the wealth of the bottom 50% has stagnated. Some feel that rising tides lift all boats, while others think wealth concentration can be harmful to society.

Elon Musk says self-driving Tesla cabs — something he's talked about for a long time — are just around the corner. The next day, Wall Street declared itself thoroughly unimpressed: Investors knocked down Tesla shares by nearly 9%. Related storiesAnd at the same time, Tesla investors no longer seem so forgiving. Since Musk acquired Twitter — after failing at his attempt to back out of a signed deal to acquire Twitter — Tesla shares are down 4.7%.

Musk Is Going All In to Elect Trump
  + stars: | 2024-10-11 | by ( Theodore Schleifer | Maggie Haberman | Ryan Mac | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Mr. Musk’s frenzied engagement reflects his view of this moment in American history. It may be impossible to capture the financial value of all the support Mr. Musk is providing to Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump has privately used grand — and unverified — terms to describe what Mr. Musk is donating to the super PAC, telling one associate recently that the figure is $500 million. Just as Mr. Musk worked late into the night as his companies teetered on the verge of catastrophe, tinkering with rocket designs at SpaceX, sleeping on a couch in the Tesla factory or making staff cuts at Twitter, Mr. Musk has deemed this an all-hands-on-deck moment. This article is based on interviews with 17 people familiar with Mr. Musk’s thinking and operations as Election Day approaches.

The company behind the game Cards Against Humanity is aiming to one-up Elon Musk with its plan to pay blue-leaning swing-state residents who make voting plans and agree to publicly condemn Donald Trump. On a website created by the game company, eligible voters are asked to provide their personal information, which is then checked against voter data that the company said it bought from a data broker. Cards Against Humanity is also selling a $7.99 card game expansion pack with cards themed to the election. Cards Against Humanity, a popular card game that features offensive and sexually explicit jokes, has increasingly taken a progressive political stance. The Cards Against Humanity website said it is “exploiting a legal loophole.” It also took aim at Musk directly, writing that registered swing-state voters could participate in his PAC's program and list Cards Against Humanity as their referrer — compelling Musk's PAC to send the company money.
